It’s amazing to think your baby’s brain will keep growing until they’re a teenager! Right now their memory is expanding and they can recognise you in a small group. Their vision is improving and they’re getting inquisitive. Now is a good time to stimulate their senses with brightly coloured toys and lots of ‘baby talk’. If you’ve got any questions about your baby’s development, just give us a call.
