Baby’s Language Development, Five months
Five months. As each month progresses you will find that your baby is becoming better at communicating. It’s possible that you will notice him imitate some sounds and gestures. By now he’ll most likely be able to let you know if he’s happy or sad. When attention is wanted your baby will babble until he is given the attention he feels he deserves. Interestingly, if you always respond to his communication efforts (whatever these may be) he’ll repeat them whenever he wants your attention this way. During this month it’s likely that your baby will be looking at your mouth moving while you talk. Talk to him from across the room and he’ll be able to find you with ease. He is learning to control his vocal sounds as he watches your response to his sounds.
From five to seven months your baby will begin understanding the language that is your family’s native tongue. They begin to imitate these sounds with simple sounds and coos. Learning to understand these coos can help you bond and relate to your baby. This is a great milestone for your newborn baby. They now understand the meaning to the word “Mommy” and “Daddy.” Now is the time to talk to your baby as much as possible. Saying the word as you point to the object will help your baby familiarize the concept of language.

It is interesting to note that children will need to learn their language from their parents, not TV. Children learn from concrete people not media or images, which adults can learn by. Further children who play with blocks develop greater language skills than those who do not.
