We took Kayla to storytime at the Morgan Hill library this morning and she was totally into it. Too bad next week's the last session and they'll most likely resume only in January. She danced, crawled all over the place and kept going "Bear, Bear" referring to the big teddy bear the kind volunteer storyteller was holding. And of course, we had parents coming to ask us how old she was, because she say a number of words - something that's been happening quite frequently.
I don't know what it is about parenthood that amplifies the inherent competitive streak (or perhaps the fear that one's child is behind) in us all - though I've resolved firmly not to evolve into the parent that compares each and every milestone with each and every baby they meet.
It doesn't really matter to me if she isn't advanced in her development - so long as she's healthy and happy. She's 11 months now and still has two teeth. Still isn't interested in walking and hasn't acquired a appetite for chunky food, preferring her meals pureed. Maybe, parents should just chill and let kids develop at their own pace. Every baby will get there...just takes time.

i agree with you. let the baby develop at their own pace. each have their own gifts, talents and roadmap, well planned by the Creator himself ;)
