Congratulations! Your 3-month-old baby is changing every day, blossoming from a sleepy newborn into a more interactive little person. This is a truly magical stage!
**What to Expect:** Expect a surge in personality! Your baby's smiles are becoming more frequent and genuine. They're likely cooing and babbling, experimenting with sounds. Their neck muscles are getting stronger, allowing for better head control and perhaps even mini 'push-ups' during tummy time.
**Developmental Highlights:** Grasping toys is becoming more purposeful. Visual tracking is improving, so colorful mobiles and engaging faces are fascinating. Sleep patterns may be consolidating, hopefully leading to slightly longer stretches at night (fingers crossed!).
**Tips for This Stage:** Encourage tummy time daily to strengthen those muscles. Respond to their coos and babbles – this 'conversation' helps language development. Offer interesting toys with different textures. And most importantly, cherish these moments. They grow up so fast!
