She will start recognising voices and will respond to them by making noises or moving her mouth when someone talks to her. Her memory will improve, she will remember certain people 6 -12 months: she increased on her non-verbal form of communication, and sometimes used body gestures. Her concentration skills developed; she holds interest in some toys longer than others. She became familiar with her everyday routine. Her ability to understand language developed faster than her ability to talk e.g. she would recognise her name, and look at the objects mentioned while you are talking. She became more curious, and since she could crawl, it allowed her to explore the house/ her surrounding; by opening cupboards, draws and looking under the bed. 1-3 years: She was able to link objects to events e.g. she realised that when she dropped her toy her mum or any other individual would pick it up for her. Her verbal skills are improving and she is able to carry out small requests e.g. ’pick up the toy’.

She improved her imagination skills through pretend play e.g. playing tea parties. She understood concepts e.g. ‘in and out’, ‘wet and dry. Her memory improved if you interrupted her activity to ask her a question she would focus on you and then return to whatever she was doing. She could count up to 10+ but when she would reach the ‘teen’ numbers to would jumble the numbers up, and she could say her alphabet with a few mistakes. | She developed a bond with her mum through breastfeeding. She would communicate with her mother/anyone else around her by crying when she needed a change, needed to be fed or when she is tired or uncomfortable. She start to learn that when she does something good or does not cry you will go to her and hug/kiss her, since she had developed a special bond with her mother she wanted to spend more time with her. She developed a sense of humour; she would laugh when someone pulled a funny face. She started to develop her own likes and dislikes e.g. she would make a fuss when she had to have a bath when she was playing; since she preferred playing rather than having a bath. She had a rough idea of what pleased her mum, and she would do different things to see what her mums reaction would be.
