Question

Roberta has just advanced from touching the rattle that hangs above her to grabbing and holding it. She is probably about _____ months old.

Answer 1

She is probably about six months old.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the time of birth, babies tend to grasp things in their hands as it is a basic reflex with them. But within six months they are able to hold things with a grip in the hands. Babies around six months tend to grab things by both hands. Within the time of 6 to 12 months, babies tend to strengthen their hands and enhance their activities of grasping objects. Hence, firm gripping can be depicted as a milestone which a baby reaches when 6 to 12 months old.
