Most of us know the important milestones of a baby as when he/she should roll, crawl, sit up, walk and talk; true we also know that our child should get his/her driving license at the age of 16. But there are some more firsts that have no publicity and we may not notice at all.
Here are some milestones that go unnoticed in your baby:
When your baby is 2 to 4 months old he/she can see in stereo; your baby no longer sees in 2 dimensions but in three. It is at this time that his/her cerebral cortex has matured enough to merge the input from both eyes.
Between the ages of 4 to 5 months your baby first laughs though most babies start smiling between 2 to 3 months. Finally someone will laugh at your Three Stooges antics; thanks to his/her rapidly developing cerebral cortex.
When your baby is 5 to 8 months he/she knows one’s name though it will take some time for one to speak it out. He/she will look up when you call it; let’s hope he/she continues to do so throughout their teenage years.
Between the ages of 1 to 2 years many children discover that it feels good to touch one’s privates. Your baby will not get angry if you barge into the room without knocking.
The age 4 to 5 years is most appropriate for children to pump on a swing; this gives you some time to leisurely enjoy a cup of coffee.
When your child is 7 to 8 years, he/she develops two sided body control; he/she is able to hold a piece of paper with one hand and to write with the other.
When your child is 8 to 9 years old he/she will show modesty and the need for privacy. He/she will blush and cover one’s privates; thanks to no more embarrassing moments when neighbors drop in.
Hope you agree with me that these could be unnoticed milestones in your child’s life.
