- Crawling, rolling, or shuffling
- Standing while holding onto someone or something
- Exploring the textures and surfaces of their environment
Cognitive Development:
- Responding to their name and "no"
- Understanding some words, such as "eat"
- Mimicking the sound of language
- Enjoying repetitive games like "peek-a-boo" and "pat-a-cake"
- Loving objects and toys that have different shapes, colors, sizes, and textures
Social Development:
- Preferring their mother over others
- Enjoying seeing themselves in the mirror
