Like most parents I go through times when I become worried that my son is falling behind and not meeting "milestones" like the other kids. Poor kid, who knew the rat race started so early?
Babycenter has a pretty helpful little chart that explains when certain skills develop in toddlers (13-18 months) and a couple other charts for the infants (1-6 months and 6-12 months). See all their charts here.
I like that they have divided their charts into three columns for each month:
My son did not really start sitting up without support until 6 months, he did not start crawling until 10 months, and did not take steps on his own until he was 1 year. Now he is 14 months old and has just transitioned to the point where he is walking more than crawling. I was so excited for him to walk and now I am both happy and sad he is growing up so fast.

I like that they have divided their charts into three columns for each month:
- Mastered Skills (most kids can do)
- Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)
- Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)
