At 32 weeks — about 7½ months old — your baby is discovering not just what they can do, but how it feels to do it. Emotion is now threaded through every action: joy, frustration, surprise, determination, and delight.

Their body is on the move, their mind is curious, and their heart is deeply tied to you. They might reach out when you leave the room, crawl toward you with urgency, or beam when you return. This week is a dance between bold exploration and the need for secure connection.

At 31 weeks — nearly eight months old — your baby may be on the verge of one of their most exciting transitions: vertical exploration. Whether they’re pulling to stand, testing their balance, or simply rising up on hands and knees to rock, this week is all about elevation — physically, emotionally, and developmentally.

You’ll likely see a confident, cheeky baby who wants to move, grab, climb, and do it themselves. And in the next breath? A baby who melts into your arms for comfort. This push and pull between independence and connection is the foundation of secure attachment — and it’s unfolding beautifully.

At 30 weeks old — almost seven months — your baby is stretching out in every way: reaching, rolling, crawling, and connecting. Their curiosity is matched only by their determination, and their favourite experiment is… everything.

This is a stage of active discovery. Your baby is realising that they can get to the things they want — and that those things have qualities to explore. Soft, hard, crinkly, noisy, squishy, shiny — each texture teaches something new. And of course, everything still ends up in their mouth.

They’re not just exploring objects — they’re exploring independence, confidence, and trust in the world around them.

At 29 weeks — just over six and a half months — your baby may feel like a bundle of contradictions: fiercely independent one minute, deeply clingy the next. That’s because they’re right in the middle of a developmental leap that brings new awareness — and with it, new needs.

They’re exploring the world with growing skill and confidence… while also realising how big and sometimes overwhelming that world really is. It’s okay if they need extra reassurance right now. You’re their safe base — and they’re checking in to make sure it’s still there.

This week is all about motivation, mobility, and deepening emotional connection.

At 27 weeks, your baby is deep in a cycle of try, test, repeat. They are learning with intensity and joy — not just by watching, but by doing. Every action is a lesson. Every repetition is a rehearsal. And every response from you reinforces their understanding of the world.

This week, you may feel like your baby is constantly practicing — whether it's making the same sound over and over, reaching for the same toy, or insisting on dropping things from their highchair again (and again). It’s not just play. It’s how their brain builds connections.

Your baby is now 26 weeks old — exactly halfway to their first birthday.

Your baby is now 17 weeks old, and you may be noticing a whole new level of liveliness. They’re louder, stronger, more deliberate in their movements — and definitely more opinionated!
