she's fine. my daughter was the same way. get your baby proofing done now because it only gets worse. you'll have to keep her busy.

All babies do things at different ages. You need to be on guard now that she is getting around and really baby proof the house!
Get the cabinet locks, get rid of the poisons that are down low (even if they are locked up!), get a garbage with a lid on it. Keep dangerous cords and sharp items up and out of reach. If you don't get a toilet seat lock, shut the bathroom door at all times and make sure to get those handle covers so the little smart darling won't be able to open the door.
Being that she's so active at such a young age, I'm sure she's going to be very curious and into everything! Just have fun with her and enjoy life through her eyes...but keep the environment safe for her! Enjoy every minute of it. It will go by in a blink of an eye! Take it from someone that knows.
Good luck!

i am also a new mom and my son who is now 7 1\2 months old has been crawling since he was about 5 months old sitting by himself since he was about 6 1/2 months old and has taken a sippy cup since he was 4 months old he is now pulling up which he has been doing for a few weeks now and just got his first tooth a couple days ago and yes he is into everything all the time so everything has had to be babyproofed i really could not tell you what is a normal age to do things

There isn't a "normal" age for development. There are what people call averages. Our youngest is almost 8 months and has been crawling since he was 6.5 months. My understanding from research is the average age for crawling is 7-7.5 months. If she is doing this, get ready for cruising. If she isn't already, she will be all over the furniture and wanting to go up and down stairs...watch for that!
Make sure that you are interacting with your baby as she needs to be mentally stimulated as well as physically. Sit down with her call objects by name, say her name a lot so she learns the sound....You are doing fine.
Again, we are on our third and the time flies! Don't force her, she will do things on her own when she is ready. When she does, make a big deal of it. Clap, say yeahhhhh, smile, give her a kiss...you know what to do. For the most part, it's all natural.
Good luck to you.

Yes, she's just a little advanced with her gross motor skills. My daughter didn't crawl so early, but grabbed the sippy cup and tipped it up the first time she got one at six months. There are other babies who don't get the knack of sippy cups until they're two, also perfectly normal.

Never be worried about early developement. Just let ur doctor know what's going on with your child and continue to embrace her early developement.

What is "normal" all kids develop at different stages. Be glad you have a child that will be very bright for her age and ahead of the rest of the kid.

wow, your baby is so active. It is perfectly normal and you should support her in the learning process she is doing.
Time for puzzles, books, blocks, building blocks, musical instruments for babies.
