A. At 7 months, babies are typically developing motor skills and becoming more active. Here's what you might expect in terms of movement and physical development: ### **1. **Gross Motor Skills:** - **Sitting:** Many babies can sit independently without support. They might use their hands to balance themselves. - **Crawling:** Some babies begin crawling or may use other methods to move around, such as scooting or rolling. - **Standing:** Babies may start pulling themselves up to a standing position while holding onto furniture or other supports. ### **2. **Fine Motor Skills:** - **Grasping:** Improved ability to grasp and hold objects using a pincer grasp (thumb and finger). - **Exploring:** Babies explore toys and objects with their hands and mouths. ### **3. **Movement Coordination:** - **Reaching and Grabbing:** Increased coordination in reaching for and grabbing toys. - **Shifting Weight:** Babies might shift their weight from one side to another while sitting or attempting to move. ### **4. **Head and Neck Control:** - **Head Control:** Good control over head and neck movements. Babies can hold their head up steadily when sitting or on their stomach. ### **5. **Developmental Variability:** - **Individual Differences:** Keep in mind that there is a wide range of normal when it comes to motor development. Some babies may reach these milestones earlier or later than others. ### **Encouraging Movement:** - **Tummy Time:** Continue to provide tummy time to strengthen neck, shoulder, and core muscles. - **Safe Space:** Create a safe environment where your baby can explore and practice new movements. If you have concerns about your baby's movement or development, consulting with a pediatrician can provide personalized guidance and reassurance.
