Beginning this month, your baby will imitate in a record time a lot of animals and birds (horse, dog, cow, chicken).
The baby will understand to make room for you to pass.
He understands to bring you a book. He speaks correctly certain words, for example, the "book." It will tell you "come" so that you can raise it in your arms.
He will look out the window, enjoy, laugh, and be happy (full supervision!).
If you tell him to bring his shoes or hat, your baby will correctly understand this and will be very happy because he will go out with you for a walk.
About similarity
Sometimes on the street, the baby will laugh with lust and talk only to people dressed in the same color as he.
The baby will have a routine of food and water. So if someone else wants to give him water, instead of you, then he will refuse and recover his bottle from that person and gesture him "goodbye." The baby will stay only with the caregiver to give him water and food.
2. Tips
You will have difficulty with your baby if he is learned to sleep only with you because once you have an event and you have to be away from home, your baby will have to sleep with someone else in the family.
