You can feel it. They are close!

Movement Feels Almost Complete

✓ Clear expressions of joy, frustration, or excitement

They are learning not just about the world. But about relationships too.

🧠 Activities for the Brain

Your baby is ready for more interactive learning.

Try:

✓ Reading simple books together

✓ Encouraging imitation games

These activities support language, memory, and confidence.
