Everything indicates that during this leap your baby is experiencing a rapid maturation of metabolism, internal organs and senses. S/he is clearly more interested in the world around him and is now better able to look at things beyond the range of 20-to-30 cm. As a parent you notice that your baby suddenly is responding more to you and others. Interesting note: your baby produces, for the first time or much more frequently than before, tears while crying. Did you know... Just before your baby makes this leap, there is a dramatic increase in the circumference of his/her head. The glucose metabolism in his brain also changes. So a lot is happening in his little brain. You can really call this a major leap!
