Super Powerful

Below is the development milestone for babies. My little girl is trying to advance too fast. She isn't doing things her age. She already drags objects toward herself and plays peek-a-boo. Before she knows how to sit or crawl, she is now pushing herself up with our support to stand momentarily. She does it all the time. She can stand as long as few minutes with both feet grounded firmly on your lap. I’m scratching my head if she would put too much pressure on her knee. Isn’t she pushing herself too much? OR Is my breast milk too powerful? :D
