Speech Development

I got this chart from the American Speech-Hearing Language Association's website

Hearing and Understanding	Talking
Birth-3 Months Startles to loud sounds Quiets or smiles when spoken to Seems to recognize your voice and quiets if crying Increases or decreases sucking behavior in response to sound	Birth-3 Months Makes pleasure sounds (cooing, gooing) Cries differently for different needs Smiles when sees you
4-6 Months Moves eyes in direction of sounds Responds to changes in tone of your voice Notices toys that make sounds Pays attention to music	4-6 Months Babbling sounds more speech-like with many different sounds, including p, b and m Vocalizes excitement and displeasure Makes gurgling sounds when left alone and when playing with you

I've definitely noticed doing all these things. In fact, just today I could have sworn she said "daddy!" but, of course, if was a mix of chance sound and wishful thinking. :)
