Welcome to the six month. Your baby is a bundle of bubbly personality these days. An off-the-charts charmer and a budding comedian who happens to think just about everything you say and do is funny, especially when it's repeated over and over and over again.
Like that game of peek-a-boo. Sure, it's your oldest trick, but baby's seeing it from a brand new perspective as she starts to grasp the concept of object permanence. Your little belly laugher will love these and other games of hide and seek more than ever now that she gets the joke and can play along.
More signs that your clever cutie is growing brainer by the day, that curiosity about everything in sight and out of sight and that determination to get things well out of reach, including things you've taken away or things baby's dropped. The ability to track moving objects and to tell whether they're far away or close by, large or small.
Though your little one is still watching the big picture, he's also focusing on tiny objects that never used to catch his eye and possibly, safety check on aisle nine, attempting to pick them up and stuff them into his mouth. He may even have the manual dexterity needed to pass a toy from one hand to the other. Handy.
Just when you thought those breathy coos were the sweetest thing you'd ever heard, your baby may have found new sounds to make your heart pound and may be starting to string those sounds together in a whole new kind of baby talk. Babble. She'll begin with combinations of vowels, then add combinations of vowels and just discovered consonants like M and B.
Believe it or not, baby's mimicking the way you talk. And the more talking you do, the better mimic she'll become and the faster she'll learn your language. She'll soon start making sense of words she hears over and over again and might even recognize her own name, turning in response when you call hello.
Large motor skills are zooming ahead but since every baby develops differently, you may have one who's sitting pretty unassisted or one who can sit using his hands as a tripod balance or still completely normal, topple over every time he's not propped or held to sit. With more confident head control and likely some strong push-up skills, he's getting a brand new view from his tummy and a chance to practice new tricks, like getting up on all fours and even trying to creep.
Baby rolls both ways now, which means he'll choose both day and night which side is up. Don't worry if your little flipper rolls belly down every time you put him to sleep on his back, which you should continue to do, by the way. As long as he can move freely, no swaddles to trip him up and get him caught. In a safe sleep space, no bumpers, no soft bedding or toys, you can breathe easily about baby's sleep position.
And drum roll, please — by the end of this month, it will be time to enter a brand new feeding frontier: the land of solids. Stay tuned to my videos for more on this momentous transition coming soon... or should I say spoon? Here's to a fun-filled month six.

My baby is 5 and half months. He mimics the word "bubu" and mummy. He is attempting to situp by himself. Buy 5 months I first so him sleeping on his tummy. I turned him back to his back but he would turn back. So I just let him. Now at 5 and half months he has chosen his side as his favorite sleeping position which I like better. I still lay him down on his back but allow him roll in his sleep however he likes. Can't wait for him to start sitting up well unassisted

[i.love.yogurt]

I met a single dad and I need to know what I’m in for bc I really like him 😂❤

[timnevinger]

Our baby started saying da da at 5 months. And stared demanding da da and saying momma at 6 months. She's belly crawling everywhere. She loves to be sang to.
