baby milestones
First steps, words
Baby milestones are developmental markers that track an infant's progress—rolling over, sitting up, first words, first steps.
Pediatricians use them to assess whether children are developing typically: She's hitting all her baby milestones.
Parents often track and celebrate these achievements, though the timing varies considerably among healthy children.
