The baby's sensory development is exploding! M;s brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that M may be able to hear my voice now, so I shouldn't be shy about reading aloud, talking, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes me.

M weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a mango. Arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of the body now.
