Hyzyd @ 4 months...

Now that Hyzyd is 4 months, I gonna check how he's growing. I read that by this time "Babies love to check themselves out in a mirror". In fact, faces are my baby's favorite things to see right now. We tried to hold him in front of a mirror and we watched his delight. He won't understand that it's his own reflection until he's about 7 or 8 months old, but he's enjoying the view. And the motion of his hands in the mirror will capture his attention.

According to http://www.babycenter.com/ Researchers believe that my baby can now understand all the basic sounds that make up his native language. Between this time and 6 months of age, he'll develop the ability to make some of these sounds, which means I may hear the words I've been dreaming about, namely "mama" and "dada." While child development experts say it's too early for my baby to connect those sounds with me, that won't make hearing him any less exciting. I can encourage my baby's attempts at communication by mirroring or imitating his expressions and sounds. He may try to imitate me, too. If I'll say "ba" and he may try to say it back.Reacting when my baby makes noises or tries to say something will help him learn the importance of language and better understand cause and effect. It's great for his self-esteem, too: He'll begin to realize that what he says makes a difference.
