Physical Development
At four months old, your baby girl is rapidly developing her physical abilities. She is probably able to hold her head up without any support and may even be able to roll over from her tummy to her back. Her movements are becoming smoother and more coordinated, and she is starting to use her hands to grasp and manipulate objects. You may also notice that your baby girl is beginning to show an interest in her surroundings and is starting to reach for objects that catch her attention.
Cognitive Development
Your baby girl’s cognitive development is also progressing rapidly at this stage. She is becoming more aware of her environment and is starting to recognize familiar faces and voices. She may also be able to distinguish between different colors and textures. You can help support your baby girl’s cognitive development by providing her with plenty of sensory stimulation, such as different textures, colors, and sounds.
Language Development
Although your baby girl is not yet speaking, she is starting to develop her language skills. She is beginning to babble and make cooing sounds, which are her way of practicing the sounds and rhythms of language. You can help support your baby girl’s language development by talking to her frequently and narrating your daily activities.
