He might also be more aware of his own needs and can let you know what he wants. Your baby might look at, shake, bang, throw, drop and poke different objects. Your baby is getting better at using his hands and fingers and will probably be feeding himself with his fingers at most meals. Your baby might pull herself up to stand by holding onto furniture, or she might even stand well by herself.
Around now, she might take her first steps on her own or could even be walking by herself. Walking is tiring for her, though, so sometimes she might crawl instead. But looking after yourself physically, mentally and emotionally will help your child grow and thrive.
Your baby is also more aware of their own needs, and can let you know what they want. Your baby is busy learning all the time. They love finding hidden objects — for example, a toy hidden under a cup.
They also like it when you show them how things work — for example, how to put a lid on a container. Your baby will probably need help to stand , but they might try standing on their own for a few seconds.
Babies are more comfortable walking around if they can hold onto furniture or they might want to hold your hand. But sometimes your baby will want to try walking on their own without your help. Your baby will use special baby cues to let you know when they've had enough and what they need.
Many babies this age like being around other children their own age, including siblings, relatives, and neighbors. Don't expect too much interaction. Your baby may enjoy watching other children and may even try imitating them, but actually playing together comes later.
A note on imitation: Babies are happy to repeat any action that gets a laugh. So watch what you reward with a chuckle — it may not be something that deserves an encore! Sharing is also too much to expect at this age. Instead, concentrate on teaching older children how to trade toys back and forth with your baby.
