Babyhood - Motor Development

There are two directions of motor development in infants and toddlers: cephalocaudal, where the head and upper body develop before the legs, and proximodistal, where the trunk and shoulders develop before the hands and fingers. Motor milestones from 1 month to 2 years include developing the ability to roll over, sit up, crawl, pull up, walk while holding on, walk without support, run, climb, and descend stairs.
