Exploring
The positive effect of cause and effect
Now that your baby has much more control over his hands and fingers, he can entertain himself for ages simply by putting objects into containers and then dumping them out again… and again… and again!
He's becoming even more fascinated by 'cause-and-effect' actions, like the turning of wheels that make his toys move.
This can be particularly fun to explore in the bath where your baby can follow the course of water through a water wheel or other toy.
Your baby's hand-eye co-ordination is also continuing to improve. He's now holding a spoon fairly well and enjoys being able to feed himself, although this will probably be quite messy for some months to come. You'll still need to keep wipes handy…
