Baby Development 101: Welcome to BabyThoughts!

Welcome to Baby Thoughts! Our Baby Thoughts blog uses cute baby photos to illustrate funny and important events in child development from the perspective of the child, parent, and cognitive psychologist.

Baby (Scarlett, 16m): Great Idea Daddy!

Parent: Not sure when I'll find the time to do this everyday with being Mr. Mom and Mr. Startup


Development: Babies have solidified their ability to attach names to objects, so even if they aren't talking yet, they know you're someone special.

Here's how it works. Most days we will use relevant pictures of my daughter's daily development, try to give some insights into what she is thinking or saying given her 16-month-old world view, and then try to explain briefly, what I as a dad and cognitive psychologist thinks is going on. Feel free to submit your own photos (include a picture, child's age, and what they said or were doing) and I'll give you my take on what's going on.
