It is wonderful to observe how a baby grows. In its infancy, it responds only to pain and hunger. By the second month it can raise its head to look at things around it. It also begins to smile at people. By the time the baby is four months old, it begins to catch at things. By the time the baby is five months old, it can grasp objects and can even feed itself. At about seven months it can crawl. In late infancy its interests increase. It begins to like games, songs and even books.
