Here are my hands!
This is when baby starts putting together cause and effect. For example, if I cry, someone will come and pick me up. What a cool discovery!
Their vision is getting better and better. It’s fun for them to watch a mobile move because now they can follow it a little bit. But the most fascinating thing of all still is your face. Stick out your tongue and hold it there – chances are your baby will copy you. Babies are born knowing how to copy, and they start by copying you. That’s how they learn most things in life.
Your baby also loves hearing your voice, so talk and sing as much as possible (do you remember any of those old songs and nursery rhymes?). Perhaps they have found their hands and stare at them fascinated. This is the first step in discovering where their body ends and the world begins.
