About this item

Lots of books tell you about child development and a baby's first year, but Watch My Baby Grow shows you everything that happens in the first year of life in step-by-step pictures with detailed explanations. Every milestone of baby development, from gurgles to coos to first words, is documented and explained. Why does your baby's cry sound the way it does? How are your baby's eyes and brain developing? What are the evolutionary reasons for speech-like sounds around the age of four months? Watch My Baby Grow has answers to these questions, as well as an individual story - the early life of baby Melisa - to relate them. Find reassuring information, too, like how to spot the subtle cues that signal growing awareness and ability for your baby. Watch My Baby Grow is the true story of baby Melisa and her family.
