At 10 months, the baby became more energetic and quick, and, imitating the elders, trying to be independent, doing everything “as big”. Just try to limit it to something - he expresses his displeasure, is indignant. When you play the game "Where are you?" With him, the baby hides with pleasure and waits for him to be found. And then there is no limit to delight. Sometimes he is shy - he hides his mother’s face, and sometimes he’s cheerful and sociable, “talks” with strangers, feels them, examines them.
He is no longer surprised if you plant him on a pot, tries to take his first independent steps, sits well and moves crawl perfectly. Of course, a bottle of porridge is more convenient for a 10-month-old child, but he can perfectly drink from a cup and eat almost all of his food with adults.
