Our baby girl is growing up - yesterday she turned 5 months. In light of this, I thought to do another developmental progress check; it's so exciting to see her achieve all these baby milestones!

5-Month Progress Check:

Green font - Natasha has accomplished this milestone
Orange font - Natasha is beginning to accompish this milestone
Red font - Natasha has not yet accomplished this milestone

Most babies should be able to . . .

• Roll over
• Do small mini push ups
• Pay attention to small objects held in front of his or her face
• Reach out for objects

• Grasp a rattle or toy

Some babies will probably be able to . . .

• Hold head level with body when pulled to sit
• Make razzing sound
• Turn to new sounds

• Recognize own name

Some babies could possibly be able to . . .

• Get upset if you take a toy away
• Pass object from one hand to the other
• Pull up to standing position from sitting
• Try to get toy or object that is out of reach
• Sit momentarily without support
• Repeat sounds like ma-ma-ma-ma or da-da-da-da
• Separation and stranger anxiety may begin

I'd say that based on the above, our baby is on track. Each baby at their own pace, right?
