The last development stage in baby’s first year is a big transition. They’re not really an infant anymore, and they might look and act more like a toddler. But they are still a baby in many ways. They are learning to feed themselves – although it might appear to be more about fun and games – it’s really good for them to experiment with touching, holding, and playing with their food. It’s all part of the process. Your baby might be cruising by now, and grasping things – but always remember every baby is different and some babies won’t cruise at all – and some won’t walk until around 18 months. You might even start hearing a few words! Have fun and here are some articles and videos to guide you through the coming month.
