They begin to move with some skill, sitting up, crawling and even beginning to stand.
What activities might your child be doing?
Click here to print Developmental Milestone Check List six to nine 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.
