Here's a quick checklist of important developmental milestones. If you have any questions or concerns about what your child is able to do, talk to your pediatrician: 

• By 3 months old my baby reaches for items and grasps, smiles back at me or other family members, makes sounds like babbling
• By 6 months old my baby reaches for things and picks them up, rolls over front to back and back to front, repeats vowel sounds like ooh
• By 9 months old my baby copies sounds or gestures, moves toys from one hand to the other, sits unassisted
• By 12 months old my baby looks for an object if I hide it from them, walks by holding on to furniture, says one or two words
• By 15 months my baby holds a crayon in a fist, points to pictures of familiar items that I name, walks alone
• By 18 months my babyfeeds themselves sometimes, steps off low objects and keeps their balance, can name objects
• By 24 months my baby uses two to three words together, feeds themselves with a spoon, runs short distances without falling
• By 3 years old my baby walks up steps, puts on their clothes, repeats simple songs and rhymes
