Around 5 months
It can sit up with some support.
It can also turn round: watch out, it might
fall down! It passes objects from one
hand to the other.
Around 6-8 months
The baby is able to sit up without any
support, turns round and starts playing
with its feet. It makes noises and then
babbles.
Around 9-12 months
It can start to move around on its bottom,
crawling on hands and knees and tries to
stand up. It babbles and recognises its
name. It stretches it arms, says goodbye,
hello and plays peek-a-boo. It can also
grab an object between its thumb and
forefinger. It understands refusal and
«no».
From 1 year on
It can walk on its own, with the help of
another person or by leaning. It can say
its first words. It understands simple
sentences and starts to refuse to obey!
