She may even be sleeping through the night most of the time. Each day your infant's actions seem deliberate and purposeful as she kicks in her crib and perhaps swats at nearby toys and other attractive objects.

Each time you talk to, hold, play with and show your baby new sights and sounds, you are teaching her. You are helping in her emotional, social and mental development. And she is an alert student, eager to learn. Research has shown that opportunities to use the various senses to study the environment greatly influence an infant's development. Too much stimulation can overwhelm an infant.
