Your baby is an adorable little person. Joyful, happy and a pleasure to be with, your baby just wants to return the love you give him. Your special relationship is growing day by day.
6th month
He uses more energy.
He sleeps less and has more intense physical activities.
He holds out his arms to you, or lifts herself up on his forearms.
He uses his whole body to communicate.
He grabs at objects within his reach, and uses all his fingers, except his thumbs.
When he is on his back, he grabs his feet or objects within reach.
He can now see in 3-D because his "binocular" vision is fully developed. A new world is opening up to your baby!
More and more sociable
You are still the great love of his life, but he is becoming interested in other people around him.
He laughs out loud when his brother or sister pulls faces.
He is no longer fearful of new faces. He takes his time to study them, and watches them carefully before rewarding them with his best smile.
New ways of communicating
Your baby’s babbling becomes more and more evolved. He starts to pronounce certain consonants and varies the tone, volume and rate of his voice.
He now has a large range of sounds to express his pleasure, anger or mood – cries of joy, grunts, coos, gurgles, roars, etc.
