MUM! YOUR BABY!

Mum! I'm sure, you've to watch your baby every day and night!

Days, weeks and months, you will note the baby grow very fast.

When three months old, baby can establish eye contact alright!

Gradually, lovely baby steadies the head and lifts it up straight!

By six months, baby will keep head erect and steady the neck!

While put on bed, head is in line with chest to breathe and smile! 

Will try to reach some objects and make vowel sounds to sing!

Use a rattle baby will turn face to hear and respond with a giggle!

By nine months, baby can sit up with a pillow for back to support!

They will do transfer things (toys) between the hands as an art!

Passing an object between two hands is the first skill for work!

More physical exercises for a few more months and babbles a lot!!

By twelve months your baby attempts to crawl or bottom shuffle!

Holding on to something, baby stands and starts to learn dancing!

Responds to familiar words and surprise you with tones of puzzle!

You will be 'over the moon' with your darling: dancing and singing!!

By eighteen months, baby starts to take a few steps, walk and play,

Gets excited for no reason, repeats a few meaningful single words,

Sings, shakes and plays with you for fun and a colourful display,

Try to build a tower of blocks and love to play with you all times!
