They explore the development of motor skills and speech in children from birth through age 5. Key milestones include first attempts to crawl/walk, first smiles/cries, babbling, first words around 12 months, 2-3 word sentences by age 2, understanding and following commands, naming objects, sorting by categories, asking questions at age 3, and telling stories by age 4.

15. Newborn to 3 months
Babies begin to coo and gurgle at 1 to 3 months.
Instead of simply being startled by sounds, babies
start to respond more specifically to sounds — first
by turning their heads and changing their facial
expressions and then by actually cooing and
gurgling. These sounds will probably be music to
your ears, as well they should be. You can
consider these sounds to be your child's first
words to you, as simple cooing and other
verbalizations represent the very beginning of
language development.

17. 3 to 6 months
Babies at this age enjoy making sounds. Not
only do they like to laugh and squeal with
pleasure and excitement, but they perfect
their ability to gurgle, coo, and blow
raspberries. Some begin to make consonant
sounds (n, d, p, b), most can link sounds with
the objects that made them, and by the time
they reach 6 months of age, they often start
to actually imitate sounds.

18. 6 to 9 months
Babies will babble at this age. During these
months, most babies start to vocalize a lot
more in ways other than crying, not the least
of which is laughing more frequently. You're
also likely to notice a progression in the
baby's talking abilities — from making four
different consonant sounds or stringing
together chains of vowel-consonant sounds
to combining syllables into word-like
utterances and shouting to attract attention.

19. 9 to 12 months
Babies will say their first words during
this time. At 9 months, infants are
often fairly talented at multi-syllable
babbling and imitating sounds. Over
the subsequent months, you may find
that your baby starts to imitate the
tone and inflection in your voice as
well and may even say his first word.

20. Words such as "mama" and "dada"
clearly have meaning to infants at
this age, and some will even say
them by the time they turn 1.
("Dada" is much more common than
"mama," not as a reflection of a
baby's preference, but because "da"
is a much easier sound to make than
"ma.")

21. Also at this age babies develop
improved nonverbal communication
skills. This is a fun age, where many
babies not only start to communicate
verbally, but clearly seem to
understand more and interact more.
They typically learn to point in
response to simple questions such as
"Where's the ball?" or "Where's
Mommy?" and to wave good-bye.

22. 12 to 18 months
Kids this age will continue to improve
their communication skills. By 12 to
15 months, the average child says
two or more words besides "dada"
and "mama." Some 18-month-olds
will even begin to put two words
together, although this is considered
to be a 2-year-old accomplishment.

23. In addition to talking, most toddlers
at this age can imitate animal
sounds, recognize objects by
name, and follow commands.
You're likely to find that this newly
developed ability to follow
directions is particularly endearing
when your toddler begins to give a
hug or kiss when asked.

24. While the toddler is probably
making great strides in
communicating at this age, it
helps to be aware that toddlers at
this age can become very
frustrated because they can
understand a lot more than they
can say.

25. 18 to 24 months
Toddlers at this age will greatly
increase their vocabulary and ability
to understand. The average toddler
toward the end of the second year
can say 30 to 50 words and make
two-word sentences. Even more
impressive is their ability to
understand and follow simple
commands.

26. 2 years
Two-year-olds talk in sentences.
While the typical 2-year-old has a
vocabulary of 30-50 words and can
put two words together, another year
of language development usually
brings the ability to make three-word
sentences and communicate more
effectively.

27. Two-year-olds also learn to name and
categorize. They commonly learn the
names of five or more body parts and
are able to recite their own names (first
and last) by the time they reach their
third birthday. Sorting objects according
to category and understanding
descriptive categories like "big" and
"little" or "soft" and "hard" are also typical
accomplishments at this age.

28. 3 years
Three-year-olds have greatly
expanded language skills. During this
year, you're likely to notice that the
length of the child's sentences
increases from around three words at
his third birthday to five (or more) by
his fourth. By this time, most children
have also become fully
understandable.

29. As the child masters the use of
pronouns (I, me, you, we, etc.)
during the upcoming months, be
forewarned that you're also likely
to find that she has entered a
new stage of development that
includes asking a whole lot of
questions.

30. 4 years
Four-year-olds make good use of
their language skills. During this
year, you're likely to notice that
your child masters language well
enough to put sentences together
into full stories and just generally
talk your ear off.

31. 5 years
Five-year-olds can understand harder
concepts and begin to increase their
vocabulary. They typically can
understand and apply concepts such
as "under," "over," "because," "why,"
"before," and "after." They often have
vocabularies of more than 2,000
words.
