Skills such as taking a
first step, smiling for the first time, and waving "bye-bye" are
called developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are things most
children can do by a certain age. Children reach milestones in how they play,
learn, speak, behave, and move (like crawling, walking, or jumping).
In the first year,
babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the
things that are around them. Cognitive, or brain development means the learning
process of memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. Learning language is more
than making sounds ("babble"), or saying "ma-ma" and
"da-da". Listening, understanding, and knowing the names of people
and things are all a part of language development. During this stage, babies
also are developing bonds of love and trust with their parents and others as
part of social and emotional development. The way parents cuddle, hold, and
play with their baby will set the basis for how they will interact with them
and others.
