of development is delightfully exciting too..

No matter how hectic and how unfair your day had been, imagine your baby smiling
back at you after two months of inconsolable weeping and wailing. There is
nothing more exuberating than this

The sweetest sound on earth for a Mom is the
sound of her baby laughing. After 4 months
your baby responds to your
silly faces and tickles with a
giggling laughter.

Post the fourth month, those exhausting sleepless nights of wails and cries bid a
relieving goodbye. By 4-6 months, most start sleeping through
the night.

Around 5 or 6 months, most babies can sit
up with support – either by resting on
their hands in front of them or by leaning on pillows or
furniture. Babies can usually sit
alone steadily by 7-9 months.

Get ready for a tiring run-around after your baby
when it reaches its
eighth month. You meet your suddenly
mobile baby now.

Waving "bye-bye" is not just a cute trick -- it is an actual expression of language. By 9
months most babies begin to make the link between sounds, gestures, and meaning.
They understand that waving is connected to the phrase "bye-bye."

Between 9-12 months, babies develop better
control over their hands and fingers, making it easier to grab small objects --
like finger foods!
Unfortunately, food is not the
only thing they’ll try to pop into their
mouths.

By 12 months, most babies
begin to stand briefly without support. They
also take small steps
while holding onto furniture
or other objects, an
activity called "cruising.“

Get your camera’s ready, and keep your eyes glued, as your baby can
any time present you a return gift on his b’day- his
first steps. Staggering tip-toes you have longed to see.
Baby’s walk at an age ranging from 9 to 17 months.

There’s nothing like hearing your baby call you ‘Mama’,
and it usually happens right
around the one-year mark. By this time, most babies can say at least
one real word and actively try to imitate others.
