My baby turns ten months last May 24. He is able to crawl with a lot of skill, he can climb stairs, and can stand on his own for a minute or two. He is able to make two to four steps without holding on anything. He already say some words in a coherent way although not very clearly. He seems to understand “Yes” and “No”. He claps his hands when I told him to.
