Put two parents in a room together and sooner or later they''re bound to start comparing their babies'' accomplishments. This game of one-upmanship (what some doctors call the Development Derby) may heat up now because individual children start developing at very different rates. As older babies begin tackling more complicated skills such as walking and talking — which can take months and even years to master — they all start developing at their own pace. As long as your baby is making steady progress, you have nothing to worry about.
