This month your little munchkin will explore the environment, recognize her mom (i.e. YOU), laugh and smile with sweet noises.
So, make the environment visually entertaining to your kid and help her learn the secret code language between her and you.
Game 1: Cooing & Gurgling
Purpose: To build talking skills
You need to talk to your baby often. In about two months, she will respond to your talk with cooing (soft throaty sounds including vowels) and gurgling (low, throaty, wet sounds).
It helps the baby to learn the first word for the first time.
Game 2: Express Yourself
Purpose: To build communication skills
Use a variety of facial expressions and your baby watches the expression.
It helps the baby develop early communication.
Game 3: Cheesy Smile
Purpose: To develop bonding
Give a baby a big cheesy smile and make funny noises. The baby will always smile back.
Smile is one of the biggest expressions for babies.
It helps a baby to bond with you and teaches how to interact with others.
Game 4: Play Peek-a-Boo
Purpose: To develop memory skills
To develop memory skills and play, lay your baby on the tummy, and you also lay on tummy to face the baby.
Take a scarf or use hands to cover the face. Then, uncover the face and say “peek-a-boo”.
