Your baby has grown older for one more month. He grew stronger and grew up. At 3 months, boys weigh from 5.7 to 7.2 kg with an increase from 59.4 to 63.5 cm, the corresponding figures for girls - 5.2 - 6.6 kg and 57.7 - 61.9 cm *.
The child opens the surrounding world, actively interacting with him: he is no longer a passive observer, but an experienced researcher. Now the baby can hold on to the toy that was in his hands longer, carefully examining it. He consciously seeks to prolong the pleasant sensations of touching some objects (for example, stroking the soft blanket with his fingertips). Undoubtedly, the favorite object of study for the child is himself. Crouch feels and strokes his face with his fingers - mouth, nose, eyes, chin. He looks at his hands with interest, as if trying to understand why these little fingers are moving.
The kid actively tries to reach out to different objects. Of course, at first it is not easy, and he often misses, but a three-month-old child is unusually persistent in achieving his goal. He will deliberately hit the toys hanging over the crib if something interesting and entertaining happens as a result: for example, the toy will make a sound or jump from a blow-up and down.
The most active kids manage to turn over from the abdomen to the back, while others can only roll on the barrel. If an object is held in front of the child, he will try to grab it with both hands simultaneously. Many children are able to connect the palms of both hands and even clap.
At this age, the child's speech skills are developing rapidly. His "vocabulary" stock is constantly replenished. Now in the child's speech, one can distinguish not only vowel sounds, but also consonants "L", "H", "B", "P", "M".
The kid closely follows the moving objects. If you drive a rattle in front of the child's eyes and then unexpectedly hide it, the child will look for some time to the place where he last saw the toy, trying to restore the trajectory of the rattle's movement in memory and expecting its sudden appearance.
A three-month-old child does not wait for adults to start talking to him. He is ready to independently establish contacts with others. The kid purposefully searches for faces, looks openly in the eyes, smiles and publishes a variety of sounds. The child at this age is open to communication, he likes the attention of other people, he willingly talks with strangers and is happy with him.
Although now your little one is ready to smile at everyone, the happiest smiles, of course, go to Mom and Dad. Even if my mother did not say a word, the baby will recognize her and smile happily. Pleasure for the baby delivers the very fact of the appearance of the mother, regardless of whether she will play with him or not.
The child is already able to convey a whole range of feelings and emotions through a variety of sounds. He can cry, scream, laughs, babble, "walk" - and parents will always understand what exactly their "child" wants to "say".
The kid can maintain long enough dialogues with adults. Communicating, he uses not only sounds (by the way, in a good mood the baby often utters consonant sounds) but also facial expressions and gestures. At this age, the child perfectly "reads" the mood of parents by their facial expressions, voice intonations, and other signals. A good mood of mom and dad will necessarily be passed on to the baby.
