Linked Developmental Milestones

Motor – Fine

Holds a toy placed in hand

The infant grips and holds a small, light rattle or toy when it is placed directly into their open hand. This milestone indicates the emergence of a voluntary grasp and early hand-muscle coordination. It allows the infant to begin exploring objects through touch, sight, and eventually taste.

 Motor – Fine

Swings arm to hit toys

The infant uses their arm to swing at or swipe at dangling toys hanging in front of them. This action demonstrates early visual-motor coordination (hand-eye coordination) and spatial awareness. It is a precursor to purposeful reaching and grasping.

Every milestone, beautifully remembered.
