By this time, your baby is happily crawling everywhere and can stand up alone without support for a few minutes (and possibly walking her first few solo steps)! At the same time, she is learning to take sips from the cup. As she grows stronger and more active, engage in some physical activities with her, including games like ball rolling, and helping her crawl up and down the stairs. But remember, stay close to her at all times when she's navigating those steps!



For ages 10-12 Months
