First Year Milestones

What's next?

Here is a list of first year milestones and when to expect them!

1 Month

Around one month babies start trying to lift their head of the ground when laying on their tummy!

2 Months

  • Begin to smile responsively 
  • Vocalize, gurgle and coo
  • Become aware of their own fingers

3 Months

Selective looking – choosing things to focus on and picking out differences. A child of this age could mentally pick out a red block from a box of yellow blocks. They might also be able to visually track an object moving slowly across the room.

4 Months

Start to roll from front to back

5 Months

Hold their head upright (although still wobbly) and smile at themselves in the mirror

6-7 Months

  • Social referencing – being able to begin registering your emotions. If you are smiling, they will know things are going well. If you look upset, they can tell something is wrong.
  • Begin sitting up with support

8 Months

Begin to pick up small things with their fingers

9 Months

  • Problem solving – rather than simply crying if a rattle is under their pillow. Nine month olds will likely be able to reach under and push it out themselves. 
  • Begin pulling themselves up to stand

10 Months

  • Word comprehension – being able to understand what you are saying even if they can’t say it yet.
  • Communicate with gestures like waving goodbye 
  • Bang things together 
  • Hold arms out to show they want to be held

11 Months

Sit down from standing position and “cruise” (walking while holding on to things)

12 Months

  • Stand without holding onto something 
  • Put objects into a container
  • Say a few words 
  • Developed object permanence. Learning to look for something after it has “disappeared” under a blanket. 
  • Looks and listens simultaneously 
  • Develops self-feeding skills… though messily
