Around nine months, many babies are becoming more active, curious, and interactive with the world around them.

While every child develops at their own pace, there are several common milestones parents may begin to notice during this stage.

Common nine month milestones may include:
- Sitting without support
- Crawling or scooting to move around
- Pulling up to stand while holding onto furniture
- Forming sounds like “mamama” or “bababa”
- Responding to their name
- Showing interest in objects by reaching, grabbing, or passing items between hands

Remember that development can vary from baby to baby, and some skills appear earlier or later than others.

If you have questions about your child’s development or milestones, talk with your provider at Arbor Pediatrics so concerns can be reviewed together.

Earth Day is a great opportunity to spend time outdoors and teach children about caring for the environment.

Simple activities like planting seeds, taking a family nature walk, or picking up litter at a local park can help kids feel connected to the world around them.

Time outside also supports children’s health. Outdoor play encourages physical activity, improves mood, and helps support better sleep. Even small steps can help families build healthy habits while caring for the environment.

How does your family celebrate Earth Day? Share your favorite outdoor activity in the comments.

Many parents consider creating a birth plan to outline their preferences for labor and delivery.

Birth plans can be helpful for communicating wishes about pain management, labor support, and newborn care.

They can also give parents an opportunity to think through what matters most to them during delivery.

At the same time, labor and delivery can be unpredictable. Being flexible and understanding that plans may need to change is important for reducing stress if circumstances shift during the birth process.

Clear communication with your healthcare team is often more important than having a perfect written plan. Discussing preferences ahead of time can help everyone work together to support a safe delivery and healthy start for both parent and baby.

Talking through your birth preferences with your provider during prenatal visits can help prepare for the big day.

Choosing sunscreen doesn’t have to be confusing!

Look for SPF 30 or higher, apply generously, and reapply every two hours, or sooner if swimming or sweating. Mineral sunscreens are often well tolerated for sensitive skin.

Remember to pair sunscreen with hats, shade, and protective clothing for the best coverage.

For infants younger than 6 months, consult with your provider prior to using any sunscreen products.

Questions about sunscreen or skin sensitivity? Give Arbor Pediatrics a call so we can help keep your child’s skin safe.

Family and social history are important parts of your child’s medical record.

Information about family health conditions, living situations, school environments, and lifestyle factors helps providers better understand the full picture of a child’s health.

These details can guide screening recommendations, help identify potential health risks, and support decisions about prevention and treatment.

For example, family history may influence screening for certain conditions, while social history can help providers understand factors that affect safety, stress, or access to resources.

Keeping this information updated helps ensure your child’s care plan reflects their current needs. If there have been changes in family health history, living situations, or other important factors, please share those updates with a member of our team at your child’s next visit.

As the weather warms up, many kids spend more time riding bikes and scooters.

Spring is a good time to do a quick safety check before heading outside. Make sure helmets fit properly and sit level on the head, with straps snug under the chin.

Check that bikes and scooters are in good condition, including working brakes, properly inflated tires, and secure handlebars.

It is also a good time to review basic safety rules with children, such as watching for cars, using crosswalks, and riding in safe areas away from traffic when possible.

Take a few minutes to check helmets and equipment so kids can ride safely this season.

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
