During the first year of life, babies begin to learn the basics of moving themselves, and the skills they need for coordinating hand-to-mouth movements and holding objects. The chart below is a general guideline of what can be expected during your baby's first year.

Age	Physical Development - Birth to 1 Year
Birth to 3 Months	At this stage most babies begin to: Use sucking reflexes Raise their head when lying on their stomach Hold head up for a few seconds Lift their head and chest, while lying on their stomach Make fists with their hands Play with their hands by touching, pulling, and tugging Enjoy repeating their body movements (example: swinging or waving an arm)
3 Months to 6 Months	By this time babies have become stronger and have more agility. At 3 to 6 months most babies begin to: Roll over Push body forward while lying on their stomach Pull up by holding on to furniture (example: side of the crib, coffee tables, chairs, etc) Reach out for objects Grasp objects, and put objects in thier mouth Associate objects and actions (example: shaking rattle produces noise, batting hands against mobile produces movement, etc.)
6 Months to 9 Months	At this stage of development most babies become mobile and child-proofing a babies surroundings becomes a necessity. During the 6 to 9 month age is when most babies start to: Crawl (not necessarily on hands and knees) Pull objects towards themself Move objects from one hand to the other
9 Months to 1 Year	Most babies, by the time they reach 9 months to 1 year of age can: Sit unsupported Stand without holding on Make walking movements with aid Pick up objects using their thumb and one finger Roll and throw objects such as a ball Drop objects and pick them back up at will
