Nine-Month-Old Developmental Milestones
Babies develop at different rates, but by the end of your baby's ninth month, he will probably:
- Pull himself up to a standing position.
- Walk while holding on to furniture.
- Grab objects with his thumb and index finger — the "pincer grasp."
- Say "mama," but only as a sound, not a name.
- Wave "bye-bye."
- Understand "no."
- Actively participate in games such as "pat-a-cake" and "peekaboo."
