What are developmental milestones for babies from 9 to 12 months?
9 to 12 months is a lot more mobility. Now your child is crawling; they may start pulling up to stand around 10 months. With pulling up on objects, remember that once they’re doing that this is the time you want to lower your crib to the lowest setting and take all the bumpers out if you haven’t done that already, because they’re going to use these things to climb on. They may even start cruising which is moving from one object to the next to move around. They may start slowly letting go and standing on their own, very wobbly at first, and by a year they may even be taking a couple of steps. Again, a lot more mobility. This fine pincer grasp is going to get much more refined by a year; it’ll go from more of a chopsticks to a fine pincer grasp. Now they also may be saying more words discriminately, so whereas at 8 or 9 months they’re saying da-da-da, ma-ma-ma, ba-ba-ba to everything, now at a year, they’re looking at you and saying ma-ma, da-da; more discriminately, maybe one or two oth
