Month 12 marks the last post of the "What should my babe be able to do series"! We hope that you found this developmental series helpful and/or enjoyable :)

What to expect from your 12 month old:

Please note, this list is not comprehensive

• Your one year old can walk while you are holding one of their hands

• He or she may stand alone, and they will attempt to take their first steps

• They can sit down from a standing position without help, and/or without falling

• Your child can turn pages in a book

• He or she may crawl to move quickly

Ideas for playing with your 12 month old:

• You can practice walking to toys of interest with limited hand support

• You can blow bubbles in various positions while they try to pop them

• You and your baby can crawl through tunnels/obstacle courses

• As always, you can go to the park and/or play outside
