Babies at about 32 weeks increasingly try to repeat sounds they hear, whether made by people, pets, or objects. Babies may try to "talk" to eachother, and if you listen closely,
you'll likely find they seem to be having a conversation, taking turns making baby sounds in response to eachother, and pausing to allow the other to speak.
If there are two languages spoken in your home, your baby will try to make sounds from both languages. If you think you know what she is trying to say, repeat it back to her. Listening to you pronounce words will help your baby understand words and talk earlier.
Your baby's vocabulary will grow steadily as he adds gestures to the mix. For example, he may hold his arms above his head when he wants to be picked up. Your baby may start to point to indicate something he wants. Your baby is also gaining a new understanding of how to grasp and hold objects. She can probably hold two objects at once (one in each hand) and use both hands cooperatively to accomplish one task. She is also learning to use both hands in more complex ways. The way your baby shapes her hand to grasp a round object will be different than the way she grasps a flat object, such as a piece of paper.
He will also start to understand cause and effect and will learn to pull a string or cord to move an object closer. A fun game right now may be tug-of-war. Let him grasp the end of a towel and gently pull towards you. He may pull back in response. This will also strengthen his muscles and coordination.
