    Buckle up, parents! Your baby’s first year is a whirlwind of milestones. You’ve already seen them take their first breath, heard their first wail, and changed their first dirty diaper. (Only a couple thousand more to go, this year alone!)

    So what’s up next?

    Developmental milestones are behaviors and physical skills children reach and master as they grow. Some first-year-of-life physical milestones include:

    •rolling over

    •reaching for objects

    •sitting up

    It may seem that your baby is simply an eating, pooping, and sleeping machine at this point. But a lot is going on in that tiny body. Milestones to watch for include:

    •bringing hands and fists toward mouth (though not always with great accuracy)

    •developing reflexes — flinching at loud sounds, shutting eyes at bright lights

    •focusing on objects brought within 12 feet of their face

    Your baby is starting to act, well, more baby-like. By the end of 2 months, your baby is likely to be:

    •gurgling/cooing

    •trying to follow movement with their eyes (called tracking), although it may not seem very coordinated

    •holding their head up and pushing upward with their arms while lying on their tummy

    Your baby is progressing from dependent newborn to more independent baby (yay — you might find those 5 minutes to take a shower!). This is when some of that cuteness overload starts to kick in. Watch for:

    •smiling at the sound of your voice (pro tip: record this and review in 15 years to prove that there was once a time your child liked you)

    •holding their head and chest up and kicking their legs when lying on their stomach

    •grasping toys

    •putting their hand in their mouth with more precision

    •making more vowel sounds (ooh and ah)

    At this stage, your baby is taking the milestones already achieved and perfecting them. For example, they may hold their head up more consistently and for longer periods, grasp toys with more coordination, and copy your expressions with more accuracy. Other milestones are:

    •holding a rattle and shaking it at the same time

    •perhaps starting to roll from tummy to back

    •tracking movement more fluidly

    Your baby continues to grow, explore, and master. As their strength and coordination increase, you may notice that your baby is:

    •rolling from tummy to back and then back to tummy

    •grabbing their feet, and maybe even inserting them into their mouth

    •moving objects from one hand to another

    Your baby’s growing up! They may now be:

    •sitting up briefly without any support

    •saying consonant (mmmm) and vowel (eeee, ooooo) sounds

    •playing and expressing displeasure when playtime stops (keep those raspberries coming!)

    •trying to get things out of reach

    •recognizing their name

    Your baby continues to build on what they’ve already learned. Milestones include:

    •sitting up without support for longer periods

    •responding to the word “no”

    •recognizing emotions (happy, stern, etc.) by your tone

    •using their hand like a rake to reach for something (called the “raking grasp”)

    •responding to expressions — smiling at a smiling face, looking uncertain at a fearful one

    You might notice that your little one can now roll over, sit up, and move objects from hand to hand or hand to mouth like a pro. You might also begin to see your baby:

    •rocking back and forth on their hands and knees or scoot along the floor (precursors to crawling)

    •pulling up to a standing position

    •drooling — a lot (some babies will be cutting their first teeth around this age)

    •continuing to babble (was that a random ma-ma or da-da you just heard?!)

    •developing stranger or separation anxiety — this is a kind of distress babies feel when they’re separated from their parents or primary caregivers

    Your baby is on the move! They may be:

    •crawling

    •more confidently pulling up to a standing position

    •playing peekaboo or looking for an object you’ve hidden

    •using the pincer grip (which involves holding a small object like a piece of cereal or pasta between their forefinger and thumb)

    •pointing at things they want
