It's an exciting phase filled with so much wonder and joy! My little one is currently at the stage where he notices mirrors a lot more and gets excited, babbling away happily which is adorable. Also, he has started responding to his name more consistently which is fascinating to witness.

The first smiles are precious - an unforgettable milestone! - and when they start recognizing you and smiling specifically at you, it's a heart-melting moment. Can't wait for the days ahead as well; it's such a wonderful journey watching them grow!

Oh, that's a lovely stage! It's exhilarating to see them notice and respond to their surroundings more each day. The world is becoming a lot more interesting!

Mirror play is fantastic for this age; not only is it fun, but baby brain development is incredible as they realize the mirror image is themselves! Responding to their name is a big deal too - it's such a personal recognition and a step towards understanding their own identity.

The first smiles are precious, and then you become their favorite person when they realize you're their safe haven, which is so heartwarming. Enjoy every moment; time flies by so quickly!
