Set out safe, sturdy objects for baby to climb on, crawl over, use to pull himself up, and hold onto while walking. They are improving their motor skills day by day.
Give babies finger foods, like dry cereal, pieces of banana, or soft bread sticks so they can feed themselves. Give baby a small spoon with some mashed potatoes, oatmeal, or other sticky food to let her try eating with a spoon. Yes, it will be messy, but it's a process that takes practice. They will eventually learn to hold a spoon and spill less.
It’s time for a safety check. Walking toddlers are taller than crawling babies. Crawl around on the floor to see what they can see. Make sure everything in their reach is safe and won’t hurt them. Toddlers can open drawers and doors too, so make sure to have the locks installed.
