Recognising patterns of speech, expressions and gestures
Your baby will now be starting to direct the sounds that they can make, perhaps towards you or other people, or sometimes at toys during play. They have been interested in watching and interacting with you since they were born and might have responded with movements or smiles when you spoke to them. Now, or soon, your baby will be starting to make more deliberate sounds with their tongue, mouth and lips, and looking towards people or objects when they do this.
