Bravo!!! It's no wonder parents are so excited to see their baby learn the complex skill of walking. It takes months and months of building motor skills to accomplish. Head and torso control, changing positions on their own from lying to sitting, crawling, standing assisted, then alone, cruising (taking a few steps while holding on to something), and finally, WALKING! It's so thrilling, and we can't help but feel a certain sense of pride right along with our client families.... Our home visitors are here to guide parents through monthly activities they can do with their babies to promote their healthy growth and development. The home visitation program is offered free to expecting parents. Learn more at momsorangecounty.org. We love receiving your progress videos!

Grateful in so many ways

What milestones are you celebrating today? We miss seeing our families in person but we’re so honored to continue serving by offering our home visitation program and classes virtually. We couldn’t be more proud of the work parents are doing to keep their babies healthy and on track, and we celebrate all of their milestones alongside them! #tummytime #infantdevelopment #earlylearning #gratefulheart

Nurturing your child’s curiosity is one of the most important ways you can help her become a lifelong learner. Take a walk outside and talk to your baby about the trees, the sky, the stars. Expose her to activities that capture her attention and imagination. If she likes music, play it for her often. Make and play instruments together, dance together. Find books about things that interest her and read to her. Just follow her lead! What is your child curious about? #curious #earlylearning #play #pretendplay

Help your children reach their full potential! Free online classes are now being offered to Orange County parents for a full year. This program is designed for parents of children aged 2-12 years.

Time to celebrate another Mommy & Me graduation Yes, we’re recognizing this milestone for 12-17 month old babies, but mostly we’re honoring the commitment moms have made to show up for themselves and their families. Through their dedication to raising a healthy baby, they’ve also benefited by having a space to learn and share with other women, and gain confidence as new mothers. They all deserve a big round of applause and in the words of Miss Gaby You’re doing a good job. YES you are!!! #graduationday #felicidades

Learning to crawl means it's time to childproof your home. Take a "crawl" through your home and see what potential hazards may be at your baby’s level. Remember, even though babies are moving around fairly well on their own, they still aren’t able to follow rules about what to touch or not to touch. So it is very important to make sure your home is child-proofed so that your baby has a safe place to play and explore. Some obvious things to take notice of: Electrical ou...tlets and electrical cords Baby gates on all stairstop and bottom Toilet seat locks Plant stands (as well as other tippy tables) Houseplants within baby’s reach Poisonous home cleaning supplies within baby’s reach Sharp corners on coffee tables and end tables Fragile knick-knacks that can be grabbed or knocked over By making your baby’s environment as safe as possible, you are creating the perfect space to support her growing skills and healthy development. During regular visits, our Health Coordinators can guide you through child-proofing your home at every stage.
