PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
May sleep through the night
Holds objects for a few seconds
May bring hands together
Body tone improves
Starts holding chest and head up a short time while lying on tummy, eventually leans on elbows while on stomach
Facial expressions varies
Vocalization increases
Taste buds begin to develop
Follows slowly moving object with both eyes and head from one side of body to the other
COGNITIVE AND MENTAL DEVELOPMENT
Sucks at the sight of breast
Squirms in anticipation when sees breast or bottle
Explores own face with hand
Stops sucking to listen
Turns head to find source of sound
Gazes at hands
Can distinguish speech from other sounds
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Smiles easily and spontaneously
May laugh or chuckle
Calms down with mother’s voice or soft music
Begins to enjoy taking a bath
Cries less as she learns to gurgle and coo
Starts recognizing and differentiating among family members
