I haven’t wrote a post in a while as I haven’t been sure what to write about. But over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about Carters Development, and the development of others.

My baby is 7 months old, and over the last 2 weeks has been rolling over constantly, he did it once and then all of a sudden…he won’t stop! He’s growing so much!

At one point I kept trying to encourage him to roll and he got frustrated, and then one day I just lay him on the floor, and all of a sudden he did it himself! No pressure!

However, he can’t sit up by himself. I found myself googling “what age should my baby be sitting up” “7 month won’t sit up by himself” and I realised. Every child is different!

I’ve met children who spoke well at 1, and some that took longer. Kids that still drink from baby bottles or have dummies after the age of 2.

Carter attempts to sit up but falls forward, although he is improving its a slow mover. However, he has juice, in a child’s bottle. Not a baby bottle, and so many people cannot believe that he will drink from it, as a lot of kids don’t like it! It makes me feel so proud, but when I see babies younger than carter doing things that he doesn’t I found myself worried.

All children move at their own pace, your child will do things other children won’t, and won’t do things others will. Be proud of them never the less!

You can’t push your child to do something if they’re not ready. When they’re ready you’ll know!
