In terms of physical skill, Babe Reagan has more room for improvements. He crawls and climbs up and down his mattress well but has not show any sign of trying to walk. He can stand alone by himself for probably 5-6 seconds before he falls onto his butt again. He has also yet to drink from a cup or use a straw by himself, neither is he able to do stacking of blocks. Baby Reagan needs more confidence and encouragement to attempt a physical task. However I understand that all babies' growth are different and I believe definitely he will catch up at his own pace.

The brain of an one year old is certainly like a sponge. Baby Reagan is able to grasp concept fast ,follows instructions well and  imitate actions well. How much a one year old can learn or understands depends on how much you teach. More early input leads to more display of future outputs.

More patience is needed to teach a baby because you will not feel as motivated when you doubt that your baby can understand or when you feel it is just a waste of time teaching your baby whom you think is not absorbing the information that you're trying to input. So the key is to teach your baby without any expectations,  be patient and let them gradually surprise you with their outputs later on.
