CHILD DEVELOPMENT
Sensory and motor
a child gains use and coordination of the large muscles of the legs, trunk, and arms, and the smaller muscles of the hands.
baby begins to experience new awareness through sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.
1 month: They cry when they are hungry, in pain, need feeding, changing or just
cuddling. Also, grasp an object that has touched the palm of their hand
3 months: Baby can control his or her head movements. They could be able to roll over and turn to the direction of a sound.
Between 4 and 6 months: babies' balance and movement dramatically improve as they gain use and coordination of large muscles
7th month: Babies develop leg and trunk coordination, sit alone steadily, and may crawl using both their hands and feet.
9 to 12 months: Baby will probably be able to crawl and stand. babies begin to walk, they often spend hours "cruising" around the room holding on to furniture and other objects.
Hearing
2 moths: Babies begin to coo and make sounds, such as ooh and ahh.
1 month: Babies strongly prefer the sound of the human voice. Hearing is the same as an adult's hearing. They recognize the voice of their caregiver, even when they are in another room.
4 months: Babies often amuse themselves with babbling and are beginning to understand that tone of voice means different things. The excitement of hearing his own voice and your responses may turn him into a babbling machine.
At 6 or 7 months: Babies start copying the sounds they hear spoken. Babies may not be able to say the words they are hearing yet, but they can understand many of the words you say.
At 12 months: Babies are working hard to master language, and soon they may say their first word. He understands the meaning of many words he hears
Taste
Newborns: Your infant has an undeniable sweet tooth and welcomes breast milk and formula, both of which contain sugar.

4 months: He becomes fond of salty flavors. Depending on the foods he's exposed to, these natural taste preferences can vary.
Breastfed babies may be more open to a range of flavors because they're used to the changing taste of your breast milk.
Babies also show a strong preference for human milk and breastfeeding. This is especially true if they are breastfed first and then offered formula or a bottle.
Sight and Vision
5 months: He's developing eye-body coordination. He looks at something and then tries to reach for it. Babies can focus on an object or your smiling face.
At 7 to 12 months, a baby's vision is the same as an adult's vision.
2 months: He can keep a steady gaze on moving objects, such as a rotating mobile. Babies can focus on an object or your smiling face.
Newborn: His vision is blurry, and he sees things best from about 10 inches away
Smell
Newborns prefer the smell of their own mother, especially her breastmilk.
Newborn: She arrives with a keen sense of smell and recognizes the comforting scent that emanates from your breasts and your underarms.
When infant catches a whiff of you, she might turn her head toward your breast, start moving her mouth (as if nursing).
Breastfed babies might even be able to "sniff out" mom sooner than bottle-fed ones because they are held close to her body more often.
