As a new parent, you'll be amazed at how much your baby grows and changes, especially during the first 12 months.
Babies take on their new world with amazing speed.
Every waking minute they're absorbing information, experimenting with their environment, and building the skills they'll need to master the basic survival techniques of walking, eating, and communicating. As each month passes, your child will tackle new challenges and learn new skills . Just remember that each child develops at her own rate and reaches the next milestone at just the right time for her. Watch for and enjoy these milestones as your baby learns to walk, eat, and talk. The first major step on the road to walking happens sometime between 4 and 7 months, when your baby will begin sitting up, first with your help and then on her own.
