baby growth so quickly in the first 6 months. It's really quite amazing. Check this out.
Five and six months Five Month
Physical
development At five
months, your baby is well on the way to discovering how much his body can do for
him. You may be struck by his strength and trunk control as he starts to master
rolling. Your baby can sit propped up for longer and may even try, briefly, to
sit alone. Reaching and grasping are likely to progress too. As your
baby's hand skills develop, his hand eye coordination becomes sharper. Your baby
can now swipe and grasp successfully at mobiles and activity gyms and, if your
baby manages to get a good grip, will try to pull himself forward and up. Mental
development This
month your baby may show a mental leap that accompanies his growing hand
dexterity. As your baby becomes better at holding objects, his powers of
concentration grow. Social awareness increases and his relationship with you is
firmly established. Your baby can now understand and remember a routine better
and may start protesting at strangers. Your
baby begins to observe cause and effect - for example, your baby may begin to
understand that a ball moves when rolled. You're likely to notice the same
mechanism at work when your baby cries deliberately to get a response from you.
Six Months
Physical
development Your
baby may put more weight on his forearms when on his front and push himself
rights up, arching his back and raising his head. Your baby may also reach out
for toys from this position, even if his balance fails him. His
finger skills are developing as your baby learns to manipulate objects better
– your baby will transfer an object from one hand to another, and drop one
thing to pick up another. Mental
development Your
baby's growing independence reveals itself very definitely as your baby
demonstrates clear likes and dislikes. Your baby may take the initiative more in
his relationship with you, starting "conversations" and holding out
his arms to you. Your baby is also able to entertain himself for longer, by
looking at new objects or by talking to himself. Most
babies enjoy talking to themselves. You may hear your baby repeating sound
patterns in a singsong voice, and practicing different sounds. If your baby is
babbling in a singsong voice, that's a good indication that he is hearing okay, as
babies who are deaf don't tend to do this.
BABY
GROWTH –
Mouthing
The
drive to mouth objects is a primitive reflex that takes off at about four
months, when the nerve endings in the mouth are more sensitive than those in the
fingers. Your baby will use mouthing for months to come. Your
baby will start babbling around now - that is, making lots of different
consonant and vowel sounds - and may become fascinated by a particular sound
such as " ba ba ba". First
words, only a baby’s immediate family often understands these. If your baby
uses the same sound with the same meaning consistently and you understand it,
this is the start of speech. After the first word, parents may have to wait
several weeks for any more - first words tend to emerge at a rate of maybe one
to three month.
