A Chart on What Your Baby Can do 4-6 Months of Age

When our baby starts growing up the time is both mind blowing, and exciting.  We can’t get over how fast they’re growing, and it seems like just yesterday we brought them home from the hospital.  Our baby over time will start making small improvements, and will be on their way to doing things themselves!  In the mean time, if your baby is 4-6 months of age, you may be curious to see what your baby can do, what others can do at that age, and what is above average for baby skills.  If so, continue reading below!

As you can see, your baby will advance with their skills quite a bit!  They will be able to sit up on their own (even if it’s for short periods of time), will recognize their name, and will start to really get attached to you.  They’ve known you were their parent ever since the beginning, but now, they really don’t want to be separated from you.  Now that you know what level they’re at, be sure to fill this information into your baby book to look back on!
