How do babies develop? Five to six months...

You'll be amazed at how quickly babies develop around five to six months.

Personalised door plaques are lovely for newborn's rooms

Around this time babies eyes are developing and they can now recognise blod colours as well as black and white. They turn towards interesting sounds and can even recognise their own name.

They are motoring along with their physical skills and will play with their own hands and feet, fascinated by the feeling on the stimulation. They will roll over and may be able to sit for a short while without support.

At the same time as being fascinating and exciting, this can be very stressful for first time parents.

Babies roll in both directions and they may drag objects towards themselves - including table cloths! Or they may reach for objects and mouth them, as their gums are very sensitive and useful for mapping the world.

And of course some babies will start lunging and crawling, meaning parents have to keep a close eye on them at all times!

All babies at this age turn towards sounds and voices; they imitate sounds, blow bubbles or may jabber or combine syllables.
