28

28 weeks into my development. What is changing and improving?

My Charming Look

My Cheeky Look

I am gradually gaining strength and mobility and am able to sit unassisted for longer periods. My horizons are expanding - so just about everything that I pick up will go straight into my mouth. I now have enough coordination to be able to pass a toy from one hand to the other. This also means that I am ready to start feeding by myself. I have soft finger foods such as ripe fruit, cheese or cheese sticks.

I babble as I am beginning to use my tongue and the back of my mouth, as well as how to shape my mouth to create and change sounds. Some of my outbursts are nothing more than an experiment to see how far I can project my voice. Sometimes when I am in that mood, I exercise my voice for a long time and I have to say I can be quite noisy but I don't care!!
