Around 6 to 8 weeks, your baby gives their first true social smile in response to your face or voice. Unlike earlier reflexive smiles, this one is intentional and aimed at connecting with you.
Your baby settles down when you pick them up, hold them close, and speak soothingly. This shows they are learning that their caregivers bring comfort and safety.

Your baby starts making soft vowel sounds like "ooh" and "aah." These early coos are their first experiments with using their voice on purpose, and they love hearing you coo back.
Your baby moves their head in the direction of interesting sounds, like your voice or a rattle. This shows their hearing is developing well and they are curious about where sounds come from.

Your baby follows a slow-moving toy or your face across their visual field. Their tracking is becoming smoother and they can follow objects further than before.
Your baby stares intently at faces, clearly preferring them over other objects. They are learning to recognize the people who matter most and beginning to distinguish facial expressions.

During tummy time, your baby pushes up on their forearms and lifts their head higher than before. Their neck muscles are getting stronger with each practice session.
The jerky, startled movements of the newborn period start to smooth out. Your baby's arms and legs move more fluidly as their nervous system matures.
