By now, your baby may be able to wave goodbye, crawl well, pick small things up between the thumb and forefinger, and gesture to show what he or she wants. Some babies will even stand alone for a few seconds and put objects into a container.

Of course, all babies are unique and develop at their own pace. If your baby was premature, keep in mind that kids born early usually need a bit more time to reach milestones. Talk to your baby's healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
