By now, your baby may begin to:
- notice her own hands
- recognize her parents by smiling at you when you talk to her, for example
- focus on objects about 8 to 12 inches away from her face
- follow objects past the midline of her face
- laugh, squeal, and make "ooh" and "aah" sounds
- hold her head up at a 45 or sometimes a 90-degree angle
- sit with support and hold her head steady
- respond to loud sounds
- bear weight on her legs
