An infant begins to roll over by the age of 6 months and could easily fall off a changing table with this newfound skill. Infants respond strongly to peek-a-boo games due to the development of object permanence. Head size matches torso size by about 1 year of age. Wrapping up mini-blind cords and childproofing cabinets can be done at any time, but those are activities more appropriate for the family with an increasingly mobile toddler.
