Repetition is Fun
Babies at this age watch others and then repeat the actions they see.
They also like to do things over and over again to understand how things work.
What might your child be doing?
Click here to print Developmental Milestone Check List 9-12 months. Share the list with your child’s health care professional, teacher, or save it for your own records.
Each activity your child is doing is typical of their age.
If your child isn’t doing all of the activities, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Children can vary by as much as six months in some of the things that they are able to do. If you do have questions about your child’s development, you can call the CONNECT Helpline, a program of the State of Pennsylvania.
