Ruby and Albert are excited by 10-month-old Jessica's new skills. This month there are so many! Jessica calls to her parents saying "Mama" or "Dada." She wants to feed herself at every meal. She sometimes drinks from a cup without spilling. She tries to pull herself up to stand. She likes to practice stepping sideways along the sofa. But she knows that she has to hold on to stay steady. Crawling still helps her get around the house in a hurry.
Jessica explores everything. She pulls pots and lids out of the kitchen cabinet. She drags clothes from the laundry basket. She scatters magazines everywhere. Everything is a toy that she learns from. When she was six months old, Jessica made friends with Rollo, the neighbor's dog. This month Rollo's loud bark scares Jessica. Now she cries and clings whenever Rollo is around.
Ruby and Albert know they have to move fast to stay ahead of Jessica. In the next series of articles, you'll learn more about your baby. You'll learn more ways to help your baby grow, learn and stay safe and healthy.
