Growth Guide For Your Baby's First Year


Your baby is one year old! She is already walking steadily with furniture for support and her fine motor skills (such as holding a cup or spoon) has improved dramatically. Her speech sounds more like a conversation, taking on new inflection, and she may make exclamations such as "uh oh!". But because she hasn't really mastered communication yet, don't expect your one-year-old to sit down and play with other babies her age. At this age, your child is more likely to 'parallel play' -- sitting alongside her peers while she plays with her toys, but not actually playing with each other.



For ages 10-12 Months

The information provided is just a guide. All babies are unique and progress at a different pace that is normal for them. Premature babies may reach milestones later than full-term babies.
