    Babies have large heads relative to their bodies that get proportionately smaller as the body grows. Physical development progresses from the top of the body downward and from the center outward, with infants first gaining control of neck muscles, then upper body, legs, feet and toes muscles, explaining the progression from crawling to walking independently. Development begins at the center spinal cord and moves to shoulders, elbows, wrists and finally fingers.

    1.) The picture shows that babies have enormous heads in relation to the size of their bodies.

    As a child gets older and grows taller, the proportions of the body change. The limbs and
    trunk grow steadily, but the head does not grow much bigger. Instead, it’s getting smaller
    as the person grows.

    2.) The physical development begins at the top with physical growth in size, weight, and
    feature differences, then gradually works down. Then an infant will develop. They were
    able to control the muscles in their neck, followed by the muscles in their upper body,
    upper legs, lower legs, feet, and then toes. That is why most infants will crawl, stand
    supported, stand, walk supported, and then walk independently. In addition, physical
    development begins from the center of the body towards the extremities. Thus, the spinal
    cord develops first, followed by the shoulders, elbow, wrist, and finally the fingers.
