My Grandson at 6 Months

Besides the normal developmental skills described in development charts, I noticed this is the time the baby is attempting to "venture out", that is to propel himself (by his own initiative/method) towards the toys he would like to get to put into the mouth. Three points are of relevance here and they are (1) any danger falling from height (e.g. from the bed), (2) any toy with small parts that may be detached and swallowed by the baby and (3) any hard surface (e.g. edge of bed) that the baby's head may bump onto; as his motor skills are not fully developed yet.
