Language development begins before birth. Towards the end of pregnancy, a fetus begins to hear sounds and speech coming from outside the mother's body. Infants are acutely attuned to the human voice and prefer it to other sounds. In particular they prefer the higher pitch characteristic of female voices. They also are very attentive to the human face, especially when the face is talking. Although crying is a child's primary means of communication at birth, language immediately begins to develop via repetition and imitation.
Between birth and three months of age, most infants acquire the following abilities:
seem to recognize their mother's voice
quiet down or smile when spoken to
turn toward familiar voices and sounds
make sounds indicating pleasure
cry differently to express different needs
grunt, chuckle, whimper, and gurgle
begin to coo (repeating the same sounds frequently) in response to voices
make vowel-like sounds such as "ooh" and "ah"
