Finn is 6 months old today (adjusted)! What a big boy. Here is a list of developmental milestones and I marked where he is at with each of them.
The following skills are likely to emerge between 3 months and 6 months:
New Physical Abilities -- Gross Motor Skills
Sit up unassisted NO, but getting more stable
Hold the head steady while sitting upright YES
Completing a half push-up while lying on their tummy, by pushing up with their arms PARTIALLY
Roll over in both directions. YES (as of a few days ago, but not on demand!)
Language Skills
Imitate sounds and gestures that are heard around them I DON'T THINK SO
Turn towards the source of a sound or voice YES
Get attention by babbling and not relying solely on crying. YES
Fine Motor (Adaptive) Skills
Press down with the upper lip to draw food from a spoon NO, but he just started eating solids
Clear vision, including the ability to see the full spectrum of colors I BELIEVE SO
Accurately reach for objects nearby YES
Grasp a rattle. YES
Personal/Social Skills
Focus all of their attention on toys and other small objects YES
Spontaneously smile and laugh YES
Make different, more advanced sounds to communicate with the people around them. YES
I think Finn is right on track, as this is just a generalization and some babies are slower in certain areas than others. I was going to list the development milestones for 6-9 months to see where Finn is, but he hasn't reached any of them yet. Maybe in a month or so.
