Express herself

Waiting For Great Aunt And.

If you can tune in to your baby's babble in the coming weeks, you just might recognise a word or two. Babies typically say their first words (often "mama" or "dada") some time between nine and 15 months. Even if your baby's not "talking", (and some don't "talk" until much later than this), she's probably amused by the sounds she makes and may express herself in other ways. 

This may be by shouting for your attention, screaming in frustration or dropping a toy just to watch it fall. Try diverting her from activities you would rather not pursue with a game of peek-a-boo. She will probably be able to play along now instead of just watching.
