Children learning to walk

In chapters 2 and 3 i thought that the process of how a child grows and learns to sit, crawl and walk is amazing in how much it actually takes them to get to those points in their lives. The different things that they have to go through and how their balance and everything about them changes at every step of the way. A child has so many things to learn and explore with their bodies and movements that its amazing on the thought process that it entails for them to learn any of it including walking and how they have proven that babies understand moving their legs in alternating patterns long before they learn to walk.

  1. I find it amazing that "in a typical 2-month, roughly 40% of the body's energy is devoted to growth". I guess we could say this is why babies eat, sleep and poop :) Having said this is what is motivating the baby to become the crawling, walking and talking child they do!
