🎂1-Year Baby Milestones: Look Who’s Turning One!

Your little one is officially a toddler-in-training! Around their first birthday, you might notice these exciting developments:

🎲 Plays games with you – Whether it’s peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake, they’re all in for the fun.
👋 Waves goodbye – That sweet little wave melts hearts every time.
🙅 Understands "no" – They may pause, react, or give you that cheeky grin!
🧺 Puts things in containers – Like dropping a block in a cup — baby’s first sorting skills!
🔍 Looks for things they see you hide – Out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind anymore!
🧍 Pulls to a stand – They’re working hard to get on those feet.
🛋️ Cruises along furniture – One step closer to walking!
🥤 Drinks from a cup without a lid (with your help) – Big kid moves!
👉 Uses a pincer grasp to pick up small bites of food – Fine motor skills on point.

💡 If you ever have concerns about your baby’s development, trust your instincts. Anyone can refer to Early Steps, or reach out to your primary healthcare provider. Early support can make a big difference. 💛
