Note for parents
What’s happening
Stranger anxiety might show up this month, and that's a sign of healthy attachment, not a problem. Peek-a-boo is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Your baby might be saying 'mama' or 'dada,' though probably not aimed at the right person yet. They can pass objects between hands smoothly and might be pulling up to stand using furniture. Crawling is efficient now, and they cover ground fast. Their personality is really showing.
For you
Your baby cries when strangers get too close because you're their safe person. That's not clingy. That's trust. You built that, and it's one of the most important things you've done.
