At this point, no problem seems unsolvable for your baby and no obstacle too hard to overcome. You can almost hear his mind fast at work – at meals, at play and when observing his surroundings.
At about 12 months, your baby begins to solve “sophisticated” challenges. At 15 months, for example, you may see him drag a chair across the room and climb on it in order to reach that shiny glass piece you placed "out of his reach". It may seem like an easy task, but think about all the steps involved the understanding of relationships between actions required.
The next time an aunt or grandparent bring a gift, notice how your baby may be more enamored with the box it came in rather than the gift itself. He loves to place objects inside boxes and pots. With incredible thoroughness and great determination, he will joyfully spill all of his toys out of their baskets. You may assume he just likes making a mess, but in reality he is busy learning to categorize containers and contents, comparing relative sizes and shapes and discovering new storage alternatives at the same time.
