Growing: teeth, height, hair, nails, from baby to grown-up, sentence 12

Babies usually walk on their own somewhere between about 9 and 18 months, while a foal or a baby giraffe stands within an hour of birth; a human baby's brain still has a lot of growing to do, and it must learn balance.

Who acts: Babies, foal, brain, lot · What happens: walk, stand, have, grow, do, learn · To what, where: own, lot, balance

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
