12m+ Infant Years Now is the exciting time when cooing, babbling, and gesturing begin to give way to the formation of speech. When baby attempts to pronounce the name of an object, her brain is connecting that sound with the object. She’s also showing she understands that a sound or a word is a symbol for an object. At this age, in addition to loving toys to stack and sort, encourage toys that develop thinking skills and fine motor coordination. You’ll also want to provide toys that engage your baby’s new ability to scoop, dump, and pour water and sand. Parenting your 12m+ baby
Your baby understands many more words and phrases than she is able to articulate. And the best way to promote your baby’s speech is by spending time each day reading, singing and talking together. Make a habit of commenting aloud as you play together. When you say things like, "Let’s scoop some sand into this yellow cup," or "You want me to put my block on top of yours?" your baby will learn words for attributes, objects, actions, and positions, as well as routine directions.
