Month 4
By month 4 most babies will be able to hold their head up steadily. They can support their weight on their legs and will make "coo-ing" noises when you speak to them. About half will start to grasp at toys and other objects when you offer them and, they will roll over when on the floor. A minority will start attempting to make speech sounds. The first tooth may start to show.
Month 5
By the fifth month most babies will be amusing themselves by playing with their hands and feet. They can roll about on the floor and can distinguish between bright colours. About half will turn towards new sounds and may start to recognise when you use their name. The more advanced may sit alone without support and start putting objects into their mouth. Others may be ready for solid food and symptoms of "Stranger anxiety" may be shown.
Month 6
Most will now turn towards sounds and voices and start to imitate sounds and blow bubbles. They will roll at will in both directions. About half will now sit without support and start putting objects into their mouth. They will be ready for solids. More advanced will lunge forward and may start crawling, may jabber or combine sylables and will start grabbing for objects that are close by.
