Helen Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sorry Sue, I missed your post! I don't know of a published timeline that gives this information, but other things that spring to mind are: * Watching movement of own hand in front of face * Playing with own toes (and doing the kind of yoga movements I can only dream about!) *Enjoying sensory input such as splashing in water, manipulating sand, dough, food (!) * Copying movements that an adult does * Getting toys to do things when a button is pressed, for example * Responding to sounds and music; rocking, clapping, stamping, etc * Making marks; in sand, in paint, dough etc. * Moving arms and legs helpfully when being changed * Pulls off socks * Dribbling drink, blowing bubbles, making funny noises when s/he eats Feeding self , sucking fingers, etc * All the stuff connected to nappies/potties Hope this gives you a start. Maybe if you ordered these into a timeline, more exmaples would follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
