PLAY

Baby Babbles

Making sounds is so much fun! As soon as baby can figure out how to make a sound, he starts making it all the time. Encourage this sound play by babbling with him. Repeat the sounds he makes and add a few new ones from time to time. Before you know it, your house will be full of baby babbles!

One step, two step, [Walk fingers up child's arm.]
