As your child develops, they will achieve a series of important skills, known as developmental milestones. These range from rolling over and crawling to babbling and laughing. Here’s a guide to help you understand what to anticipate during the first two years of your child’s life.

Stay informed about your baby’s progress by tracking their age and developmental milestones. For instance, during the first few months, your child will begin to recognize faces and respond to sounds. By six months, they might start sitting up and reaching for toys. As they approach their first birthday, you’ll likely see them taking their first steps and saying simple words.
