Growth Guide For Your Baby's First Year


Your baby has mastered holding small objects between his thumb and forefinger and responds to simple commands such as "Give Mommy a hug". He can also stand while holding onto something for support and can start taking his first baby steps by walking a stable but movable support -- like a stool!

For ages 7-9 Months
