• Your baby is very interested in the sound of your voice - talk and sing to him often. Just chat about what you are doing throughout your day.

• Play a variety of music for your baby to listen to. It's like food for the brain!

• Now she can hold onto objects briefly give a few different rattles with different textures that make interesting sounds. She'll love the sound and feel of these toys in her hands.

• She is gaining more control over her hands so lay her down under a baby play gym and hang some fun objects for her to try and touch and swipe at.

• Place her on her tummy for short periods so she can continue to strengthen her neck muscles and to help gain more neck control.

• Change the pictures near her crib or changing table so that her eyes have a variety of patterns and designs to explore.

• Take her for walks outside in a stroller or sling or carrier, so she can enjoy the beauty of nature.

• Show her interesting pictures in books and read simple books to her.

• Offer your baby lots of cuddles and attention.

• Always smile back when your baby smiles at you and maintain eye contact when you are interacting with your baby.
