What an enjoyable time this is with your baby! He is usually happy and outgoing and loves to look at new faces. His sense of humor is beginning to develop. This month he will probably laugh out loud as he is beginning to “get the joke.” He will enjoy funny expressions and may try to make you laugh.
Whirlwind is the key word for this month. Your toddler can go anywhere he wants now and his curiosity gets him into many difficulties. He has no awareness of the consequences of his actions. Hold steady. Stay consistent. Be there for him. As his mastery of speech improves, so will his behavior.
Experience the pride and joy of watching the fast changes and growing responsiveness of your baby. The highlight of your day is when she learns something new, smiles and coos at you, grasps your finger tightly, and seems to understand everything you say. Love your baby! Watch her grow! Enjoy helping her learn!

It is important that your baby begins to understand that her actions cause responses. She is learning that her cries bring relief from discomfort, her smiles trigger smiles from her family and pulling on her mobile makes the objects move. All these responses encourage her to try new things and to see the effect. Cause and effect are one of the first steps to learning that your baby takes.
