Developmental Milestones: According to the
Early Learning Accomplishment Profile Assessment.

The following is a list of major milestones in baby's first year of life. This is meant to be a general guide, but keep in mind that all babies develop at different rates. If you have concerns that your baby's physical development is lagging behind, please consult your pediatrician.

Pushing Up: 4 to 5 months
As your newborn gains better head control, he will begin to push up and fully extend his arms. Babies spend the first six months of life gaining control of their posture, which sets the stage for more advanced motor skills.

Reaching and Grasping: 4 to 5 months
As a newborn's reflexes begin to disappear around 3 to 4 months, he'll use both hands to grasp for objects and have more control. The Palmer reflex, baby's clenched fist that waved spontaneously, has disappeared.

Rolling Over: 4 to 6 month
By six months of age, baby can roll over both ways.

Sitting Up: 6 to 7 months
By six months of age baby is sitting up or getting ready to do so as his back straightens out and strengthens. He is also able to pass a toy from one hand to another. By nine months baby has mastered sitting to the point of twisting and turning in place.

Crawling: 7 to 9 months
By nine months of age baby can move forward in some way whether it's creeping, crawling or scooting on his bottom.

Standing: 7 to 9 months
Some babies as early as six months of age can pull to stand.

Walking: 9 to 18 months
The average baby walks a month or two into his second year of life.

Climbing and Pushing: 18 to 24 months
At this age, toddlers have mastered walking to the point of climbing and pushing objects. A toddler can also carry things as he walks.

Dance and Dress: Age Two
Toddlers at this age love to dance, clapping their hands and tapping their feet to the rhythm. A toddler can also get himself out of his car seat and may prefer running to walking. He can also assist in dressing himself and can climb up and down stairs by himself.
