The nurse is conducting a well-baby visit for a 9-month-old infant. Which activity reported by the caregiver would indicate that the child is meeting expected developmental milestones?
Smiling back at caregivers
Rolling from back to front
Pulling to a standing position
Saying simple single words
At 9 months, infants are typically able to pull themselves to a standing position, one of the gross motor developmental milestones. It shows the child has achieved muscle strength, coordination, and development appropriate for their age. Smiling back at caregivers is a normal social milestone seen as early as 6-8 weeks, not specific to 9 months. Rolling over from back to front is typically expected by 6 months. Saying simple single words, such as 'mama' or 'dada,' may occur around 12 months, but this milestone is not expected by 9 months. Therefore, 'pulling to a standing position' is the correct answer.
