Around 9 months your baby may
- sit unsupported
- bottom shuffle or crawl
- clap hands together
- poke at objects to make them move
- pick up tiny bits of fluff or small objects with a “pincer grip”, using finger and thumb
- pull to standing position in their cot or with chair support
- react to familiar faces, and act warily to new ones
- blow kisses
- look for dropped toys
- babble tunefully
You can encourage development by
- playing with building blocks, and interlocking toys, first books, activity centres
- giving her saucepans, lids and a wooden spoon to play with
- playing music and singing nursery rhymes
- pretend to have a conversation with them on the phone
