Becoming a little person
From playing patty-cake to holding out her arms while you get her dressed, baby’s growing up in little ways every day. Her vocabulary is also expanding — expect to hear more than “mama” and “dada” pretty soon. Your words are starting to make more sense to her too, so keep up your end of the chatter as much as possible.

To-do:

Maintain a routine for baby
List baby’s habits for new caretaker
Look into educational activities

[tip]  Serve baby’s food in a bowl rather than a plate to help contain the mess. Using bowls that suction onto the high chair table will also keep things (relatively) clean.
