| | The second half of the first year shows some remarkable new abilities. At this stage you will notice your baby will begin to:
- Move either by crawling, bum shuffling, or pivoting on the tummy.
- Use her first and second fingers with her thumb – even feed herself a cracker.

- Clearly attach herself to familiar caregivers and want to stay close.
- Show intention when exploring objects to understand what they do or sounds they make.
