Communication and Social Development

With increasing cognitive, motor, communication and social skills, your baby is be developing a sense of independence and confidence. His comprehension continues to expand and he may begin uttering a few words in return, beginning with simple words associated with gestures such as “buh” for bye-bye. Two-way conversation may become more interesting, too. Encourage your baby's verbal communication skills by actively listening, understanding and responding to his attempts to speak. Read aloud often with lots of dramatic voices and sounds. Let your baby turn the page when he's ready.
