She started giving me kisses at 5 1/2 months which is so adorable. :) She'll put her hands on each side of my face and open her mouth and rub it on my lips.... very drooly kisses!!! I'm not sure about hugs. I never really hug her, just hold her and kiss all over her. Hugs are a little harder since her arms are so short LOL. She's bigger now, but I'm such a kisser! I just kiss kiss kiss her until she starts to whine hehehe! Now, about the reaching out part... she is starting that at 6 months old. She sits in her exersaucer and when she wants me she starts to fuss, so I come over to her and she starts to flap her arms like little wings. It's not exactly or literally reaching out her arms, but it's the equivalent. :) Congrats on being a first timer!

She was sitting unattended at 6 months, but took another month or two for her to be able to "sit-up" by herself. She is 9 1/2 months, and she is just starting to "cuddle" with me. Prior to this she was showing affection through play wrestling/rolling around on the floor together. Now she will actually sit quietly and give me a good cuddle...still not what I would consider a genuine "hug" though. She also started to give kisses at 9 months or so...a little hit or miss though...sometimes she just chews on my nose! My daughter was putting her hands up to be picked up at about 4 months.

Your fun will begin soon. My daughter reaches out to me but she has not hugged me like I hug her yet but I have a feeling that is coming soon. I kiss her soooooo much I no longer wear lipstick something I used to do everyday. I guess I sort of smother my baby with so much love I probably get on her nerves hahahaha. Enjoy motherhood it gets better everyday. I have a 8 month old and she is a blast right now. Your fun

His twin sister sat up at 6 months and doesn't reach out to me yet, but she does give hugs at 10 months. What I did for my kids to help them sit up better was sit them on the floor and put a boppy around them. My son sat up at 6 months and at 7 months he was reaching his arms for me and giving me hugs.

It is a wonderful feeling the first time a baby hugs you!! It will happen sometime in the first year. I don't remember exactly when but, you'll know and it will feel great! Probably not for a few more months... Babies learn to sit up around 6 months old but, some are later so don’t worry! It is a wonderful feeling the first time a baby hugs you!!
