Place a baby on the carpeted area close to a mirror so they may see themselves. Lay close by and talk to them, pointing out body parts, talking about the adorable babies, and doing fingerplays.
Babies will enjoy seeing themselves in the mirror as well as seeing their friends and familiar adults. Listening to you will build their listening skills and oral language skills. Holding themselves up will build their muscles and help them get ready for rolling over and sitting up.
