At seven months, your baby can sit up and stand while holding onto you for support. Meanwhile, he discovers he can move around the room on his own by shuffling, scooting and crawling. Wee! He also learns to wave goodbye, and starts pronouncing his first words like 'Mama' and 'Dada'. It's amazing how far your little guy has progressed!
