What Experts Say
At around 9 to 10 months old, your baby will literally reach for new heights as she embarks on yet another major milestone: pulling up to stand. From a developmental point of view, this is no simple feat.

My soon to be 12month old is fully capable of standing on his own, his father and i think that he's just bein silly or tired! what can i do to encourage him to stand?
