Talk to your baby as much as possible to encourage her cooing response. Look into his eyes to show that you are listening. This will establish signals of communication between the two of you.

Three Months: Your baby will turn his head towards you when he hears you talking. He will start to laugh out loud and often scare himself until he learns that he is the one making that sound.

Continue to talk to your baby as much as possible. Read her stories and sing to her. You can even read the daily newspaper or your favorite magazine to your baby.

Four Months: Your baby is learning more ways to communicate with you. She will be smiling spontaneously at everything around her. Her soft babbling will have an almost singsong sound to it often ranging into high pitched squeals as she learns to enjoy the sound of her own voice.

There will be lots of repetition to the sounds that your baby is making now. Be sure to respond to these 'oohs' and 'ahhs'. This is chat time and your baby wants to tell you something very important.

Baby will also start to communicate with body language at this stage. He may turn away if he is angry about something. She may cover her eyes if she isn't in the mood to talk.

Five Months: Your baby is becoming better at communicating. He may start to mimic sounds and gestures he sees and hears around him. If an older brother or sister get a positive result with a certain sound or action, baby will try the same sound or action.

Baby is starting to watch your mouth when you talk. She is trying to figure out how to say the words you say.

Six Months: Your baby is now using consonant-vowel combinations. He has discovered his image in the mirror and is probably having conversations with his new friend.
