Your baby will literally be bouncing when held in the standing position, and when sitting, will hold her arms out to be picked up. Anything and everything fascinates baby now. Watch those eyes dart around at different people and objects, which baby will now start reaching for with her whole hand. But once the object falls, it's forgotten - out of sight, out of mind. Whether or not baby sees you, your voice will provoke a response.
Baby now turns towards the source and responds to different tones of voice.
Talking games go down well, as baby starts to utters syllables melodically. Smiling and giggling, baby is visibly happy while playing. No longer content to wait, baby may pat at breast, bottle or cup when hungry. Interactive games go down well - offer baby an object, let her take and return it to you. There is no doubt that baby enjoys these activities, but by seven months you'll start to see signs of anxiety around strangers.
