Baby's growth ... A guide to check out the growth of the baby...

The chart below illustrates a rough timeline for milestones you can expect your baby to cross in the first year and half:

1-3 months	Baby's hand is curled into a fist that instinctively holds onto objects that are put into her palm At two months the grasp is less reflexive and more controlled. At three months, the palm is weakly open but with little strength to grip objects.
5 months	Baby begins reaching for objects such as toys. Baby might briefly grasp and hold toys. Baby will enjoy sucking her own hands.
6 months	Baby is beginning to follow objects with her eyes. Baby is sucking her feet and grasping objects between both hands.
7 months	Baby is developing the ability to transfer objects from one hand to the other. Baby's finger -thumb grip develops and she can simultaneously grip objects in both hands.
8 months	Baby keeps hands open and relaxed most of the time. Baby is starting to have the ability to pick up small foods, like Cheerios.
10 months	Baby is able to release an object voluntarily. Give toy to caregiver when asked. Baby should be able to hold more than one object in her hand.
