Throughout this last week of babysitting I am realizing how fast children grow up. I have always wondered about their patterns, when they do what developmentally and when they do things such as start eating real food. The girls I nanny are beginning to eat sweet potatoes and baby cereal. I found some websites about general developmental progress that babies go through. Children generally start teething anywhere from five months to eight months, start eating real food around six months, and start talking around one year old. Really, the development changes from child to child. There is so much information available on the web as well as in books as to what parents will expect of there children.
