Following a well-established nighttime routine, which might include a bath or a bedtime story, may help settle my baby to sleep. It's a good idea to consistently "sequence" my baby toward slumber, as in this example: Feed her, give her a bath, put her in pajamas, read her a book, sing a lullaby or play some music, and then put her down .

My baby now sees and hears the world almost as well as you do. Her communications skills are expanding rapidly, too, as evidenced by her squeals, bubbling sounds, and operatic octave changes. Her sounds can demonstrate her attitude or response to objects — such as happiness, eagerness, or even satisfaction with a problem well solved.
She babble, repeating one syllable — such as ba, ma, ga, or other consonant-vowel combinations — over and over. A few will even add another syllable or two, making their sounds more complex.
I can encourage my baby by babbling right back at her and by making a game of it ("The sheep says, 'baaa,'" or "The goat says, 'maaa'"). Or, when i hear a syllable i can't identify, just respond enthusiastically with something like, "Yes, that is a car! See how shiny the red paint is?" my baby will appreciate your keeping the conversation going.
