Childhood Milestones

I decided to look online to find out how Ian's developing compared to other kids his age.  He is close to being right on track according to the development chart.   He is currently 4 months and can do everything but hold his head steady.  He is doing better everyday with that though, I see his great improvement from last week til today.  I found this timeline on WebMd that I will share with you now:

 
2 Months Smiles at the sound of your voice and follows you with their eyes as you move around a room
3 Months Raises head and chest when lying on stomach
Grasps objects
Smiles at other people
4 Months Babbles, laughs, and tries to imitate sounds; holds head steady
6 Months Rolls from back to stomach and stomach to back
Moves objects from hand to hand
7 Months Responds to own name

9 Months Sits without support, crawls, babbles "mama" and "dada"
12 Months Walks with or without support
