growth and development.

Weaving together the milestones of the first six months with crucial
parenting information, this volume follows four babies as they
grow from sleepy newborns to babies who are sitting up and engaging
with the world. Divided into two convenient 15-minute sections
(Birth-3 Months and 3-6 Months).
- Volume 2: 6 to 12 Months
From a grabbing, babbling infant to the first words and steps
of a budding toddler, this volume features four babies as they
develop more complex abilities, especially when free to explore
a safe environment. Divided into two, user-friendly, 15-minute
sections (6-9 Months and 9-12 Months).
