First Year Milistones - Our Son - Checklist

As our son approaches his nine months (currently 8 and a half) I thought I would go through the “9th Month Development Milestones” posted earlier.

Look for toys that have moved out of sight
CHECK (when I try to hide the remote/mobile phone from him)
Become upset when you say good-bye and leave
CHECK (when I leave for work)
Try to imitate your words by babbling
PENDING
Move more independently, learning to crawl and/or pull up
CHECK (can pull himself up and stand by holding onto something)
Begin to manipulate and understand how objects work
DUNNO (can’t think of anything in particular)

Warning Signs:

If any of these statements apply to your model after the first nine months, it is recommended that you contact the baby’s service provider (the doctor) :

The baby “drags” one side of its body when crawling
CHECK (he doesn’t crawl, he’ll skip straight to walking).
The baby does not “babble” in response to complex tones
CHECK (his vocabulary in babyish is excellent).
