Babies at this stage prefer to look at faces rather than scrambled objects with patterns, or blank walls. Second to faces, they prefer to look at words, even though they cannot read them, yet. Then, bullseye type patterns, then the color red, then the color white, then the color yellow.
Babies this age will spend up to 67% of their time sleeping. 11% of their time will be alert activity, trying to do things, or make things happen. 10% will be alert inactivity, just looking around.
7% of their time will be drowsy resting. 5% of their time will be crying to get attention. Social workers who visit the home watch to see that the parent responds to the child's vocalizations with a verbal response; and that the parent caresses or kisses the child at least once during the visit.
Babies need lots of attention!
