What You Can Expect From 7 To 9-Months-Old Babies  by: Adwina Jackson Now that your little angel has reached 7 months old. Time goes by so fast that you don't realize your baby is now able to sit upright without your support or even her own hands. Wow, that must be an incredible feeling seeing her grow so instantly. For parents of 7 to 9-months-old babies, what else can you find in their physical growths? Well, every baby is not the same. One may have earlier development from the others. For example, your friend's baby was able to start crawling when he was 8 months old, while yours could do it when she was seven and a half months. On the other hand, the first baby started teething when he was 6 months old, whereas yours did it when she was 9 months. So, you really need not to be anxious about your baby's development. She will reach the stage. What you need to pay attention to is your baby's developmental milestone. This means she should be able to do certain things at particular ages. It's best for you to make some notes on your baby's growth, such as writing all her new skills in an online diary. If you do not want to miss any of your baby's growths, writing the journal will be very exciting. Adding up cute photos when new things happen will also be a wonderful endeavor. Later on, you'll thank yourself for keeping the memories online as you can see it anytime anywhere. Add up the joy by sharing the site to friends and families. Now let's go back to the previous topic. If you're a first-time parent, you probably still have a little idea about your baby's development. Below is a milestone you can use as your guideline. If your baby isn't on her track or doesn't reach many of the stages mentioned here, you may consult it with your baby's pediatrician. Here are some of the milestones for 7 to 9-months-old baby: 1. Sitting upright without support 2. Crawling 3. Teething 4. Babbling 5. Passing things from hand to hand 6. Standing up by holding onto something 7. Waving hands 8. Clapping hands 9.
