How can you tell? Their eyes will brighten and widen as they move their mouth upwards. Week 7: As another infant milestone, your baby will start understanding senses ; they can look at a rattle and connect it to the sound it makes.
They're also becoming partial to color, preferring bright hues and three-dimensional objects over flat black and white ones. Week 8: While your little one's head is still wobbly, those neck muscles are getting stronger by the day. In fact, your baby can probably lift their head about 45 degrees. Put them on their stomach for brief periods every day so they can practice. Week 9: Sounds fascinate your baby, especially high tones and pitches. They're also interested in hearing you talk, and will stare intently at your mouth as you speak to them.
They may even reply with cooing or "goo"-ing. Week Around week 10, your baby can pick out their parents' faces in a group. When someone familiar comes near, they might respond with wide eyes and gleeful wiggling. They're ready to hone their social skills , so include them in family activities—for example, bring them to the table during dinner, or put them in a carrier sling while you work. Week Your baby stays awake for longer periods of time now. They're anxious to learn about the world, and they may not always be interested in your choice of game.
If they turn their head and look away, they're ready to move onto something else. Week At this fun baby stage, your little one has discovered an endless source of enchantment: their hands.
They've realized that those fingers and thumbs are separate objects. They can also bring their hands together, look at them, then put them to their mouth to taste. Let them experiment with these wonderful tools by offering different textures for them to feel, such as a velvet scarf or a rubbery toy. Week Besides bestowing sweet smiles and coos on you, your baby may be laughing , chuckling, and babbling in long chains.
These baby development milestones are absolutely adorable! Week Rattles and dangling toys do more than amuse your baby at 14 weeks; they also develop their hand and eye skills. Your infant is also intrigued by multi-textured toys, bright primary colors, and things that make sounds. They'll bat or grasp them they'll also try to put them in their mouth! Week Say good-bye to a relatively stationary baby. Around week 15, your little one may start rolling over —either from back-to-front or front-to-back.
In the coming weeks, they'll likely master rolls in one direction. As a safety precaution, make sure they're never left alone on a bed or high surface.
Week Your little one is getting stronger by the day. They may protest when placed on their stomach, but they need tummy time every day for exercising their neck, chest, rib cage, and arm muscles. These muscle groups are necessary for rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Join them on the floor and talk outside of their range of vision. They'll be distracted from fussing for a few minutes while they're busy looking for you! Week Your baby probably entertains everyone including themselves by making razzing noises or blowing raspberries.
They'll laugh when you tickle their belly, and they'll mimic your words by making similar sounds. Boost both their ego and speech skills by chatting and making eye contact with them whenever possible. Week Around this point in your baby development timeline, you may be pleasantly surprised to find them peacefully playing alone. Their eyesight is sharp now, and their depth perception is also improving. They're very busy using their eyes and hands in play to learn about themselves.
Week Your baby's dad claims that he distinctly heard "daa daa. You can help them connect sounds with meanings by labeling things: point to pictures in their books, and touch their eyes, nose, and mouth while naming them. Before long, they'll be calling you both by name! Week By now, your baby knows exactly who you are, and they're even starting to know themselves.
They smile when seeing their reflection in a mirror and begin displaying some distinct personality traits. By watching their face, you'll probably be able to detect how they express different emotions, too.
