By 44th
week your baby may start taking short walks while holding onto your hand. She/he
also now understands what to do when you are dressing her/him
and will staff
out both arms and legs to help you. She/he may also be able to drink from a cup
all by herself - although some babies may not do this for a few more months.
Your
baby has grown into a monkey as she/he starts to crawl, wiggle, and climb out
of the crib, stroller, and highchair. Diaper changes will also become even more
challenging because, honestly, who wants to lay there for a whole minute when
there's discovering to do. Just be sure to move heavy, hot or otherwise
dangerous objects at least 12 inches away from table and counter edges so
they're safely out of reach of your baby's curious hands.
