My nephew when he was seven months he was crawling and then when he was eleven months he was walking alone. When he started walking he was very observant about what he see’s and hears. Hearing and sight is very important to a baby because that is were they pick up their language and how they play with others. “ As infants listen to people talk, they learn to focus on meaningful sound variations.” (Berk and Meyers pg.184) This information from the textbooks makes me see how my nephew who is one years old interacts with us. He does not talk in sentences but points and makes noises to things that he might want. The variations of sounds he makes is due to him trying to speak but for now he is picks up small words like stop and mom due to the people in his surrounds that say those words frequently.
