6 months

Does your child:

• Turn to the source of sounds?
• Startle in response to sudden, loud noises?
• Make different cries for different needs — I’m hungry, I’m tired?
• Watch your face as you talk?
• Smile and laugh in response to your smiles and laughs?
• Imitate coughs or other sounds — ah, eh, buh?
