Baby Juliette's First Two Years!

Birth-2 weeks: Baby Juliette begins to use her reflexes when her mom touches her palm. Baby Juliette grabs her moms finger.

1-4 Months: When Baby Juliette is 2 months she uses her primary circular reactions when she starts to coo. Baby Juliette discovers how the feeling of cooing feels and enjoys it so much she keeps cooing.

4-8 Months: When Baby Juliette was 6 months old she dropped her toy from her high chair. She used her secondary circular reaction by interacting with everything around her

8-12 Months: When baby Juliette was 9 months old she learns to use coordination of secondary circular reactions when her mom put a cereal piece under her hand. Baby Juliette moved her moms hand to eat the cereal.

12-18 Months: When baby Juliette was 15 months old she would stack blocks and see which would stay standing. She was using her tertiary circular reactions by seeing which towers stay up.

18-24 Months: When Juliette was 23 months she began to understand the shape sorting toys. She used her mental representation by looking at the blocks and mentally matching the shape to the correct hole and placing it in.

My storybook demonstrated infant cognitive development by showing each substage and how infants use them to further their development. It's important for parents and early childhood educators to understand how infants learn because infants have such a high speed growth that 90% of their brain id developed before kindergarten. It's also important because infants learn emotional regulation and secure attachments from those around them.
