When did your baby cut teeth and learn how to crawl?

gifts for baby 7 months image

Q. My daughter is 7 months old and I was just wondering what age did your babies cut their first tooth and learned to crawl. I can see two little white areas on her bottom gums but they haven't broke through yet. Also she is trying to crawl. She just hasn't figured out how to get up on those knees! I give her plenty of tummy time to help her practice! I know all babies are different and they develop and learn on their own pace. Just want to hear different stories from different parents! Thank you!

Answer
my youngest never crawled went right from sitting to standing to walking.she was about 8 months old when she got the first tooth....she's about to turn 10 years old and has never had a cavity.the old wives tale says the longer it takes to get them the longer they keep them...seems to be true

some one writes that not crawling has an affect on the child's reading and writing that's complete bs my daughter was tested for gifted program at 7 years old and was reading and writing at 13-14 year olds level doing math at 12 year olds level

How can I get my bosses to pitch in for my coworker's baby present?

My friend/coworker and I work in a department of 5 people, the other 3 all being our superiors on different levels. They are all older Japanese men, and there are definite culture differences.
She is almost 7 months pregnant, and although I am organizing a baby shower for her at work, I do not think my bosses would want or feel comfortable attending. In the Japanese culture, things such as baby showers are very much " a woman's thing". However, I feel that her having a baby is a huge life event and that our department should all pitch in on a nice present or gift card to present her with before she goes on maternity leave.

What do you think?
I work in an office of 300 in a huge global corporation. So the baby shower would be for select people from the office whom my friend knows and would like to be there.

Also, my department always pitches in on cake for birthdays, which I guess is not a very Japanese older man thing to do, but they still do it.

Answer
Just email everyone you want to include and tell them you are taking donations for a present. But dont make them feel bad about it. For example:

Hi all,

I am planning a babyshower for ?? and thought it would be nice if we all would pitch in for a present. This way we could get her something really nice. If you are interested in donating for the present please contact me.

Thanks

This way it lets them know what you are doing and you are giving them the option to help out or not..
