The United States Doesnât Spend Enough on Its Military. Our future, and the future of our allies, depends on stronger, and yes, more expensive, armed forces. U.S. marines in Afghanistan on Oct. 9, 2009.
Most babies crawl and walk within a fairly short time period, but talking can really run the gamut. A baby of 12 months typically says one or two words, although only her parents may recognize them. By 18 months, the average baby says between five and 20 words.
While 9 months is the average age that babies start to crawl, it's neither unusual nor abnormal for babies to put off crawling until 11 or 12 months -- or in some cases, not crawl at all. Two main factors seem to influence when babies crawl: 1. Baby's personality. Babies with mellow or laid-back personalities generally tend to sit up, crawl, and walk a month or so later than hyper or motor babies who can't wait to move. Instead, mellow babies tend to be earlier in their visual and social development.
