The developmental milestones thread---what did your baby do today? :)

[Stelly]

Little man is now tracking objects and will lift himself up on his forearms ! We can also move from belly to his side

I just started solids with Thorrin Tuesday so it's been 4 days. Today he kept grabbing the spoon and feeding himself! I would scoop the carrot purée and he would grab the spoon put it in his mouth and eat the carrots off it! He would put it in the right way as well. didnt think he would be able to do that this soon
He kept reaching for it so I gave it to him.
He's also using his left hand for that. As well as reaching for everything with te left. I wonder if this means anything?

Seems like you have a great eater there! As far as reaching with his left hand is concerned, I read that a preference for either hand can be observed from 6-9 months of age. However, parents usually won't be able to determine whether LO is a true righty/lefty till 2-3 years of age when they begin to favour one hand consistently.

Thanks for the info! My mom noticed the lefty preference with me but I ended up righty. I do some things lefty though.
My mother in law, paternal aunt and maternal aunt are lefties though.

Aw all your babies are so strong . Lily Mae is still not even lifting her belly off the ground seems like she will never crawl

You might be suprised! Charlotte never rolled much, never army crawled, showed no interest in pulling up... And one random day at 7.5 months she just up and crawled. About a week later she was pulling to stand and just a few weeks later she was cruising. Just wait!

She was 8 months yesterday . She tends to move a bit on her bum across the room ha . She always hated tummy time and still gets frustrated on her tummy .

I'm not sure if these are really "milestones" but they are fun accomplishments so I'm sharing

First, Elsie can put on her own socks! And by "on" I mean she tries to open the sock and put her foot in it but then ends up just setting the sock on top of her foot. It's the thought that counts, right?

She's also started pointing to certain body parts on herself when asked (feet, hair, legs, and mouth so far), and yesterday when I was singing a song to her about "up" and "down" she lifted her little bear up and down at the right parts! I was totally surprised, I never intentionally tried to teach her that.

Avi crawled a little ways today!! She also starting trying to pull herself up on the couch!

Aw, yay! You're in trouble now!

That's great! My LO has just started feeding herself properly with a spoon at 10 months, lol. I'm pretty sure she could've done it before but she preferred flinging the food across the room instead.

I've also heard that preference for one hand starts to emerge around 6-9 months but I think it's still subject to change. Only time will tell if you have a little lefty!

Elsie is a little brainiac!!

My girly was walking around the room much more confidently today. She took her first steps almost 2 weeks ago but tonight it was proper walking back and forwards between her Daddy and I, stopping then going again. So, so proud xx

Lil has started copying us

Wow, that's great! I still can't believe there are babies younger than my LO who are walking already.

Hey, I was almost 18 months before I started walking. And that was because the neighbour bribed me with a cookie!

My one year old went back to bed when i told her it was too early to be awake.

 

[kittylady]

My lo started kneeling recently, I think there's a possibility she wont bother trying to crawl and go straight to walking

 

[AllyTiel]

Kayleigh started crawling yesterday rather than flopping! Its still clumsy, but she can get around!

 

[DaisyBee]

Jordan pulled herself to standing today!!!! She pulled up on megans full size bed using the boxspring. Later she pulled up to stand in the tub every 20 seconds. So i guess she got it figured out in a day!?

She turned 1 today.... is commando crawling but no hands and knees crawling yet.

Yesterday while eating chili with her hands, she looked at her hands and said "dirty". She liked the reaction she got for saying it because then she repeated it while fiddling with the mess on her hands til dinner was over.

 

[Emerald87]

Kaida sat unaided "officially" today for ~10 minutes before toppling over She's been tripod sitting or sitting unaided and falling over quickly for a couple of weeks but today she leaned for toys and sat back up and had her arms up. I'm so excited!!

 

[SarahBear]

Yesterday, she began taking steps while being held up by her hands!

 

[BabyBoyLove12]

Went up a stair three times (we have hardwood stairs, so I think it's easier for him to go from the carpet onto the first step...then he gets trapped). He did it twice for me, by putting his knee up on the stair and pulling up, and when we showed daddy he put his foot on the next step and pulled up. It was impressive, hard to explain, but if you can imagine what I'm trying to say...it was like a tiny person walking up the stairs lol.
