All About Play

How your baby plays now:

  • Your baby can focus on an object 8-10 inches away, but does not see detail.
  • He hears high-pitched noises and is quieted by low-pitched sounds.
  • She smiles directly at people and expects to be given her turn in "conversations."
  • She can locate a sound in front of her, but not one behind.
  • When lying on her stomach, she can begin to lift her head up and prop herself up on her elbows.
  • She is interested in faces and recognizes her mother.

* All children develop at their own pace, and reach milestones at different times. The highlights mentioned in this website are meant as approximate guidelines only.
