- reach out with one hand to pick something up
- sit without support
- support some weight when held in a standing position
- babble a string of sounds
- get into a sitting position
- begin to copy a few familiar sounds
- rock on hands and knees
- copy some familiar actions
- make noise with things on purpose

* Make sure to hold and cuddle baby even when he can hold his own bottle. He needs your warmth and love. And remember-don’t put your baby to bed with a bottle. This can lead to ear infections, choking, or tooth decay.
