Your Baby's Remarkable First Year

My daughter gave her first steps at 7 months and now at 10 months she is all over the place!!!! so our playtimes are much more fun, i chase her or i let her run and then jump in front of her and it makes her laugh so hard!!! aww, im at work now and miss my gigi monster Angeliz. :)

My son is laughing and laughs at his reflection in the mirror he is so adorable

My son just turned 6 months on Thanksgiving and he is so active. He can crawl on his hands and knees and has started pulling himself to standing on things. I grateful for the fact that he is not a picky eater and will eat just about anything I give him. He has been sitting up since the end of his fourth month and seems so determined to do everything..he is a busy body in every since of the word and we enjoy it (most of the time lol).

Kaira will be 4 months on 20th of September 2011 and she is so amzaing to watch.Everyday she brings a smile to my face!! She is lifting herself up almost sitting up...She loves tummy time and kicke her feet and moves her arms so much to grab..When I talk to her she looks my way nd makes me feel like the most happiest mom... She loves to be read to and sung too...

my baby turned 3 months on the 10th, she is cooing a lot. she is learning her name everytime i say it she turns her head and looks at me. she is smiling a lot and understand what is going on around her.

That gave me so much good advice!!!! I'm really looking into having another baby now.

My baby its 3 months old and she lift her chest off the ground since she was two months old, now she even rolls sometimes and she does sounds like wanting to talk back to you.... my mom is so amazed and tells me shes a little more advance for her age.... she is to much!! lol

I have 3 kids. Everyone did things differently. My first did everything in order, my second started sitting on his own once he could crawl, and my third loves to sit and has begun to rock back and forth on her hands and knees even earlier than my first child had. My first had an advanced vocabulary from 6 months on, my second (at 22 mo) still mostly signs and my third is already imitating speech (at 5 months).

My son, Aidan is 3 days close to 8 months, he now sits on his own, crawls, and walks around the crib. I also love how he rejects foods he does not find tasty, by waving his arm back and forth as to please get that thing away from me, I just love it. He also making a lot of loud sounds, so I decided to teach him the famous fisrt word babies learn, "ta-ta-ta-ta". Also every time I leave him alone in a room he cries histerically the second I turn my back on him.

my son Great Daniels is 8months he so active but he is always trying to stand and walk but had not started crawling,Again he wakes up so much in the night to suck,but he makes me happy and he is big like the mother.

My son Trenton is 8 months old now, he crawled at 7months and he just started to pull himself up to a standing position. So happy he is able to do all these things, I new he was going to be a busy body. couldn't keep still from the time he was in my belly

My daughter is 7 and a half months old and still wont sit one her own for more than 30 seconds or so. She does try pulling herself up to stand and is still only getting on her knees and rocking back and forth. She has been doing that for a few months. She likes to get around doing, what I like to call, military crawls, dragging herself across the floor with just her elbows and pushing with her feet. LOL.

My daughter is 5 months and she loves to rock back and fourth on her hands and knees, she'll be crawling any day now :-) But she is not wanting to learn how to sit! Someone know anything help us to get how sitting on her own now? Its like she just skipped that whole phase and went straight to crawling lol..Thanks!

My little one is just full of life. She smiles quite often and is now blowing spit bubbles at 3 1/2 months. She is also determined on trying to sit up. I am loving and enjoying every minute of it.

My son will be 4 months on July 9, 2011. He rolled over at 3 weeks because he was really mad. Now he hates tummy time and starts screaming as soon as you put him on his tummy. When he gets really mad after a couple of minutes he rolls over and is scooting forward. He hold his head up well but how do I make tummy time fun? I try getting down facing him and still he screams.

my baby girl is 6 months old she has been sitting alone since 4 mon she started crawling at 5 months and she can now pull herself up on furniture and walk around even going from one thing to the next it amazes me how fast she is going my son didnt crawl until 8 months

my baby spits up a lot after almost every bottle even tho he has burped and it worries me its thick and chunky and hes a little under wight for hes age.

Comfort My Baby is 3months and 10 days and he laughs,lefts his chest off the ground,foolows abjects,is trying to master my face,loves toys especially those with bright colors and pays so much attention to the Television.

My son is almost 15 weeks... he holds his head up, pushes up with his arms, down with his legs... He rolled all the way over from his stomach to his back the other day... I also have an issue with his head, he always wants to lay it towards the left. he has a flat spot because of it. His coos and caas melt my heart and those big smiles =D - He does very well with sleeping from 10:30pm - 6:30am...

My son will be 5 months in a few days. I love watching how interested he is in the world since turning 3 months old. He looks at things he's seen for months now in a new light. You can tell he sees colors and details. He's already rocking back and forth on his knees. Also he had to roll back to front instead of front to back. We are so happy he's progressing this well after having surgery at 6 weeks for Craniosynostosis.

my son will be seven months at the end of this month and is doing all that is described

what if your child cannot see or needs glasses at this stage,then how do you keep the development on track? My son excels in standing up, trying to walk and crawling but is near-sighted and really cannot see or make out objects.

My son has been lifting his head by himself since he was born- literally, no exaggerating...He is very stout and is riding the to line on the growth chart. Ped. said he will be tall and stalky. He is 3 1/2 months old...He has been laughing and oohhh and ahhhing for about a week now...It just melts me! He had a very hard time with pooping but now he is a super happy baby and has been sleeing almost all night for about a month and a half...Sometimes he will sleep all night through!

PART 2-Im also concerned because she always leans to her left even when sleeping. I'm worried her back might be curved. But other than that she is hitting most of her milestones. She laughs when she hears funny noises, and she loves to follow ppl with her head. She is a wonderful addition to my family!!!

PART 1-My baby girl is 13 weeks, and absolutely hates tummy time! She loves playing on her back, but as soon as you flip her to tummy, she quivers her bottom lip as a warning. Then lets out a few cute cries, if she isn't flipped soon after, she begins to cry.

Sharday 87 Hi everyone my baby girl name is Sadye Rose Hamilton she was born December 29, 2o1o she has amazed me from day 1. When she first came out she was trying to lift her head, swinging her arms and legs when she hit a month in a half she started to hold her head up follow people with her eyes. When I do tummy time with her she tries really hard to get on her knees and lift her self up like she wants to crawl.

every child is different, and these are just "guidelines" not anything set in stone! if there is anything u are concerned about you should speak to his/her pediatrician. As a mother of 3 and a nurse to a pediatrician, i have learned that every child is different and they reach milestones when they are ready.

Our Grandaughter is almost 9 months old beautiful happy baby. She is very quiet, smiles some rolls over, but does not sit well by herself and has no interest in tummy time or pulling herself up. Should we be concerned??

My 6 month old son has been rolling since he was 2 1/2 months old. He started roling from his back to tummy first, but he has a major problem sitting by himself. He just doesnt want to sit, he would rather be moving. He is already pulling himself onto his hands and knees and does this hop scoot thing. (its cute) He is also walking when holding onto our hands. He also already says 'Hi' and 'Hey'. Other than the sitting thing our dr says he is at a 9 month old learning level.

My baby girl is 3 and a half months old and is already sitting up mostly on her own, she sat in the middle of her boppy for 3 min. before becoming tired without leaning on the pillow, I was shocked. My son did'nt starting sitting on his own till he was 6 months old. Everyone says that she is doing things to fast can her wanting to sit on her own at this age harm her?

Our daughter is 17 months old and is defiant. She screams and yells when she doesn't get her way. Also she is full of energy just before it is time to goto bed. What can we do for some peace and early bedtime?

Why Do My 8 Month old isn't getting any teeth yet?

My youngest is 17 months now, she rolled over at three weeks and sat up unassisted at four months, by one year she was running and had a fifty six word vocabulary.I have lost count of the words she knows now but its over 150.She can read 75 words because i started doing that my baby can read at three months and its amazing i think i have a little genius on my hands lol.I highly recommend baby can read to anyone.i can already see the amazing benefits i cant wait to see how she excels in school.

my daughter rolled over for the first time when she was a week and half old and as rolled over 7 times since then and she is 5 weeks old!!!

My son is between seven and eight months old he learned to crawl at six and is now trying to walk.

my son'name is GREAT and he is 4months but cries and eats alot.hope its normal?

my 31/2 month old baby boy hates tummy time all he does is cry but he does everyhting else a four month old can do he tries to talk he says amama and agaga does that possibly mean mama and all done.

my son is 4 months and he doesnt like tummy time at all he hasnt rolled over and can not support his own head yet he does sit with support and loves yelling blowing spit bubbles he is a happpy baby i am just concerend with him being behind in his muscle development by not being able to suport his head

My grand daughter is 4 months old and is 25 inches long. I do worry about her growing

my daughter is six months old has no teeth and is not teething what is wrong my other daughter had to teeth by three months

my daughter is not even 6 mnths yet and she smiles,yells,laugh, says mama and dadda, and she holds her bottle and drinks all her 6onces on her own, sits on her own, and crawls, and she already standing up and trying to walk

As the mother of an 18 year old I was not expecting to do all of this again but my 3 month old son has been such a source of joy that I am not sure why I did not do it sooner. :)

Wow, its so amazing to hold this wonderful gift we were blessed with. To my SURPRISE After 18yrs later I have become a mom again and I thought my heart could not love so much more as it does now. our daughter is 2 months today & has me so amazed to see how this generation of babies seem to be so advance. She has been cooing and lifting her head since the first month. Second month she seems to have made the eye contact with her mobile and will lay there talking away.

MY PRINCESS IS 6 DAYS FROM BEING A MONTH OLD AND SHE COO'S ,SMILES, GETS FULLY TUNED IN WHEN I SING ABC'S TO HER AND HOLDS HER HEAD UP WITH HER ARMS DURING TUMMY TIME AND I LOVE HER TO DEATH. I THANK GOD HE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO BE A MOM TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PRINCESS <3

my daughter started sitting up at 3 months, crawling at 6 months and walking at 8 months and now she just turned 2 and she can count to 2, knows her ABC's and knows all colors and can say 5 word sentences. My 5 month old son on the other hand is completley didferent not sitting up yet just stared rolling over and hates tummy time. ALL BABIES ARE DIFFERENT!!!

my daughter is 6 months old and shes been sitting sence she was 5 1/2 months shes not crawling yet she just makes her way in a circle by scooting she has been drinking out of her sippy sence she was 4 1/2 months i recomend the playtex first sippy for 4-12 months and i cant believe she rocks back and forth just like i did and still do its so amazing to see your baby do something u do! @ MONKEEHUNT my daughter does the same thing with her toes when i try to help her walk doc. said its normal.

my baby is 3 1/2 months old and hates tummy time hes always hungry and when i see him in the morning he has the biggest smile on his face. He does try to keep his head up but after about 1 minute on being oon his tummy he will start crying. And to crystalmist_89 he does the same thing on the cries and it realy does sound like maama, does that count on his first word? ;)

My daughter is going to be 9 months on the 26th she wont stop breastfeeding to go to bed or naps! frusterating has seperation anxiety!! and ideas to help?? * she is crawling and standin up by herself weights 25lbs

Early Intervention tests your child to tell you how he or she is doing and will they will let you know what areas to work on and if you child needs help they will help you get the help you need.

my daughter is 14 months old and can talk a little,nd the house getting into everything.she can feed herself and just figured out how to climb our stair. she did an early intervention when she was 10 months old and she is definitely right on target. she is doing another early intervention next monday so i will definitely know how she is doing. i would recommend doing an early intervention for your child. it was helpful to me.

@ lil yello...my 1st baby didn't sit unsupported til he was 6 mos. He was really big, so I think his weight held him back. Plus, he was a very laid back baby, and didn't care to move around much. By the time he was 11 mos. he was right on target with his milestones. Don't worry, she'll do it on her own time.

My twins are 3 months old. I love to watch them grow because they are so different. Its amazing to me. I have one who loves to sit and he can almost do it by himself, and the other doesnt even like to bend. Hes always got his muscles flexed!

part 2: Also when he is sitting on someones lap if you let him hold onto your fingers he pulls himself to a standing position. He weighed 6lbs 14oz at birth. 16lbs 10oz at his 2 month check up and he is only breastfed. He seems to be doing everything fast. Is it normal?

part 1: My son started rolling over at 1 1/2 weeks old. Everyone said it must have just been a one time thing. But he continued to do it every time we put him on his tummy. We even videotaped so the skeptics would believe it. He is now 2 1/2 months old and can almost sit up on his own.

my son is gonna be8 months on the 3rd of nov hes not sitting up but he will rock back and forth on his hands and knees is this normail plzzzzz help

my daugther is 8mos now and she still not crawling but can sit up,talk and response to whatever she sees.she can say mama,dada and some more words....

my baby is four month old and can now sit on his own

My son is 6 months old not and sits up, rolls over, crawls, and pulls up on stuff. Watch out world, here he comes!

my son Jonathan is now nine months and made his first steps last week. am over the moon with his progress. better still, he calls me mama. what a joy!

My lil' angel is 5 months old. I was sure to give her lots of tummy time in her early weeks, by two months, she was trying to roll over. She didn't actually accomplish the task of rolling over until she was like 3 months old, but all that tummy time really helped strengthen her neck. Now she's wanting to go, but she can only scootch herself in circles. When I hold her up by her arms, she tries to walk, by lifting her legs up & down, only she keeps trying to curl her toes, so she walks on them!

my son was 11 months and weigh 23lbs on october 5th 2010 and is still not walking he doesn't show any sign that he wants to sometimes he will stand on his own but very rarely he just love crawling but shows a huge interest in books and love to watch any video with abc phonic sounds on line or on the television he says few words and uses alot of hand movement but just not interested in walking.should i be concern.

My daughter just turned 7 months 3 days ago, she has been sitting up since 3 months. She is now pulling herself up on everything and trying to let go and balance. She is on point if not advance in everything, she was holding her head up and looking around at 2 days old, smiling at birth. She is such a happy baby!

@lmurphy89 - my son will be 8 months on the 17th too!!

my daughter is 8 mnths on he 17th. sh is starting to get on her hands and knees and rocks but shes still not sittin up unsupported. im little concerened

my son will be 5 months on the 20th of september and he is so active im having so much fun i love it when he laughs i cant wait to see what hes gonna do in the coming months

I'm a first time mother.My daughter is 2 months hates rolls over and then get fed up because she hates tummy time. Sometimes she falls a sleep just when she needs to eat. I know I don't need to worry because she will let me know when she's hungry but it's so hard not to worry

My son is 11wks and is on point for everything he is suppose to be doing. He is always smiling and happy !! Being breastfed he is alil fatty weighing in at 14lbs =) healthy as can be !! Holds his head up great, loves to eat his hands but hates tummy time unless I prop him on the boppy. His 1st belly laugh 2 wks ago was PRICELESS and everyday he makes me smile from ear to ear with the new things he learns and the smiles he gives me =)

I'm a first time mom, my son is 14 months,hated tummy time, didn't start to hold his own weight until 51/2 months, and won't drink milk from anything but a bottle. He was slower than the "average" baby in almost all aspects, but always picked up quickly with learning words etc. Nurses said when he was born that he had a personality, which they thought was rare.. He's walking all over the place now but not until about a week ago,,so 13 months,1 week. Babies are like adults...ALL different!

My daughter was sitting at 10 weeks,smiling the day she was born, and now at 11 months she's up n walking,she has a vocabulary of at least 100 words (thank you,"Your Baby Can Read")n she's really advanced.She was also a week late being born and weighed 10lbs. Now she is 32 inches tall and weighs a huge 30lbs.Every baby is different.Remember to praise even the youngest baby when they learn something new.It makes them feel good n my daughter tries to be big just to get a "good job Zy!".

my daughter is 8 months right now and she started rolling over, when she was about 6-7 weeks old. Now she is able to stand up for a few seconds or take a step all by herself. So it is possible.

It's ok yello, 6-9 months they can support themselves. Just make sure you are sitting her up supported on your knee it worked for me.

I agree with Arnold. All babies are different. What one baby has mastered another hasn't even started yet. My daughter hated tummy time, and started walking at 11 months. My son is 15 weeks old HATES tummy time too. It doesn't matter what other kids do be thankful they are healthy <3

my daughter is 3 1/2 months she is smiling lifting her head and cooing, she screams just to hear her voice thats in the morning and she hates to lie down she prefer siting up with support

My granddaughter's water broke at 26 weeks into her pregnancy and her doctor and the nurses told her there was no way her baby would live without any fluids.She was on hospital bedrest until the baby was born April 1,2010 instead of his original due date which was May 24,weighing only 3lbs.12ozs.He will be 3 months on the first of July and weighs almost 12lbs.We know that it was only by the grace of God that he is still here healthy and normal and on Q with his development.

My son is 3months and he's doing fine laughs,giggles he makes ma day especially when im down

is it possible for a baby to roll over at 13 weeks?

My baby will be 4 months june 12 and she hates to lay down when she is awake. She always picks herself up so she can sit up straight. She is starting to do the cry and stop thing to see if I will come pick her up. And when she does cry, she cries out mommy or momma (literally)...is that normal?

My daughter is 4 months old and is getting up on her hands and knees...she started lifting her head up about 5 hours after she was born. She also sits up by herself, and she LOVES her bouncer! She is also really interested in her big brother!

My son is 3 1/2 months and he's right on queue with his development. He's always smiling and giggling and it melts my heart... especially after a hard day at work.

My baby will be seven weeks old and she hates tummy time! But she has been holding her head up since she was three weeks old, she also loves her to lay on her back and try to grab her toys. She hates the swing!

my son is a month an a half and is trying to roll over, also has a temper already hates being confined.

thank you for that comment, that makes me feel better.

there's nothing wrong if they don"t like tummy time. My twins hated it, si I hardly ever did it. They are 7 months now and they are rolling front to back, back to front all over the living room! They'll get to it when they're ready for it.

My son is 5 months old and when I sit him on my lap, he can support himself. He does those things a 5 month old should be doing but he will not lay on his tummy. When I do, he can't push himself or hold his head up off the floor. He can shift it from side to side but that's it. He is a chubby little man. I'm just concerned.

My son seems to be doing things a little slower. He hates being on his tummy so tummy time is torture. Has anyone had these same concerns and their child turned out just fine?

My son is just two months and he is already rolling over

I have an 8 month old that is starting to walk. He is into everything. I can't believe how fast he is growing.

my lil man is 11 weeks old and growing like a weed,,man where does the time go,lol,we all look forward to him coming more to life than just laying there,,heh,heh,

My baby is going to be nine months on the mar.22nd and she is going through all the teething motions but don't have no teeth yet

My baby son is very active! I am a mother of three girls so I am very anxcious and excited to meet this little guy.

my little sweetheart is 4 months and he loves 2 smile loves kids but don't like new faces

My little man will be 7 months on the 30th. He's just starting to realize he doesnt like new ppl. He loves seeing his Nana and Daddy. But just stares at friends who come over.

My little girl is almost ready to walk she is gonna be turning 1 Dec. 27th were all excited for her birthday!

My baby cut his first tooth at 3 months of age. He's a year old and has 8 teeth in the front of his mouth.

Wow lol. My son has been holding his head up since he was a month old. and we can put him on his belly and he will try to get in the crawl stance. he also holds his head up and looks around and he can do so for up to 20 minutes! and he is only 2 months old!

This is interesting keep up the good work. It has answered most of the questions i had failed to get answers to.

My baby is on the small side and at 8 months isn't doing any of the stuff listed here. I've written about my concerns at www.bananasbaby.blogspot.com.

All babies mature at different times. Try not to get frustrated.. it will happen, and when it does, you will wish she was still lazy loaf.

My babt just cut two teeth this past Sunday, Is this normal so young? {She'll be 5 months on the 16th} and, she has started to walk backwards in her walker, although she did take two steps forward yesterday,nothing, anybody else exp. the teething thin?
