Almost walking! 

And he plays peek-a-boo!

It’s time to change how we view a child’s growth.

From birth to 5 years, there are milestones children should reach in terms of 
how they play, learn, speak, and act. A delay in any of these areas could be a 
sign of a developmental problem, even autism. Fortunately, the earlier a delay 
is recognized, the more you can do to help them reach their full potential.
