When did your babies start lifting their arms up to be picked up?

My son is near 8 months and hasn't done this yet but I can't wait until it happens

In response to me leaning down with my arms out at about 9 months and spontaneously about 14 months. It is very adorable

In the last few weeks.... she's 9 months.

I feel like my baby has been doing this for at least 2 months, could be longer??? and he's nearly 9 months

Ds started saying the word 'up' to be picked up before he started holding his arms up! In fact I think he's only really been raising his arms for a few months (he's 20 months) as saying it had the desired effect. I think he only does it now to add weight to his commands if we are ignoring the little dictator 😂

Mine has just started in the past couple of weeks and she’s 7 months

Never, he's almost 3. Before he learnt to ask, he would just repeatedly say "uh, uh" until I got the message.

Ahh I couldn't wait for this either - I think it was around 10-12 months for mine.

I think Dd did this at 6m could that be right ?

7.5 month old did has been doing it for a few weeks but only when I reach out to her and say “up?” or if someone is holding her who she would rather isn’t!

No idea really. It wasn't massively noticeable and it didn't happen very early, certainly not as early on here or when you read it on the milestones

Around 7 months. Like you I couldn’t wait for her to lift her arms out for me. Now she is constantly doing it, and gets upset and frustrated if I don’t pick her up. This is when I put her in the car seat, down for bed, if someone else is holding her, or if I’ve put her down and she doesn’t want to go.

@iiamsosobored any updates on your LO
