By six months, your baby is most likely able to sit on her own. Don't be alarmed if she can't, some babies simply take a little longer to learn to sit. She'll also be able to push herself forward using her limbs to reach her favorite toy and her improved hand coordination means she can now pick up smaller objects and pass them from one hand to another.



For ages 4-6 Months

PHYSICAL	Holds head up without bobbing; raises head when lying facedown; kicks legs and waves arms more purposefully; rolls over; grabs an object placed near her hand; grasps and pulls objects to mouth; transfers object from hand to hand (by 6 months); sits with support (by 6 months).
EMOTIONAL	Laughs out loud; responds to your voice by smiling and cooing; imitates your facial expressions and sounds;
SOCIAL	Babbles, squeals and gurgles; makes cooing sounds as part of a 'conversation' with you.
