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."
