By now, your baby is able to sit without any support, loves to crawl around and explore on her own and may pull herself up to a standing position while holding onto furniture for support. It's around this age that she starts displaying clinginess to you, and may become anxious around strangers, or when she is in a new setting.



For ages 7-9 Months

PHYSICAL	Sits without support; can roll over in both directions -- even in sleep; may scoot or crawl; teething.
EMOTIONAL	May exhibit stranger anxiety and clinginess and resist staying with anyone other than you.
SOCIAL	Responds to people she knows; may recognize her own name; says 'Mama' and 'Dada'; communicates through babbles, gestures and facial expression.
