By four months of age, babies’ eyesight and head control continue to improve. At this age, babies are usually able to track objects past midline and also begin to reach for objects with their hands. At this age, babies are also often able to hold a rattle. Babies are also able to raise their body on their hands when on their stomach, and this motion also helps them to roll from stomach to back. However, babies typically cannot roll from back to stomach until six months. At this age, babies’ use of voice continues to evolve and babies typically begin to babble, which is pretty much adding consonant sounds to cooing.
