Baby Korbyn loves to sleep and rest during the day on her back while grasping both of her tiny hands as she rest.  Once she is awake, her mommy hugs and cuddles her during her feeding to give her comfort and support while feeding.  

Cognitive Development Milestones for Infancy: Birth to 12 months

Baby Korbyn gained many new skills during her first year. The developmental milestones for a child from birth to 12 months can reach a new milestone every few months, while others may experience developmental delays because it is noted that,  Later development of motor milestones and speech is associated with a small but significant impairment of intellectual function and educational attainment (Millichap, 2007). Korbyn, as a baby, enjoyed laying on her tummy while resting; at ten months, she adored playing in the water and with the sand at the beach.

Language Development Milestones for Birth to Twelve Months

Baby Korbyn adores making sounds and communicating with her parents and family.  At six months, she learned how to express herself, respond, and would understand what she was told.  Korbyn would make eye contact with familiar faces and objects around her.  Korbyn loved to say "ah goo goo" or many other sounds of vowels and consonants.  At six to seven months, she started to make the sounds of "ga ga ga" and "da da da," which made her dad excited, thinking shes was saying, daddy.  Now at twelve months, she is expressing a few words, like no, mommy, and dada.  Korbyn learned new skills throughout the months of development and learned to build her skills gradually at her developmental age.

Like Korbyn, babies' first year of life is vital in their developmental milestones. It is linked to many developmental changes that might occur because motor milestones in infancy are important developmental markers for later motor skills and for more widespread social, cognitive, and communication development (Valla et Al., 2020). It is essential to work with your child and find additional resources to aid their development.

Developmental Milestones

After birth, infant's brain development is essential and aids in controlling vital functions for the baby.  While developing and growing, babies start to form their gross motor skills and language development, social/emotional skills, and they continue to achieve in their physical development.
