By now your baby's emotions are becoming more obvious. He or she may throw a kiss to familiar people, and even repeat it if you clap in appreciation.
Over the next few months, your baby may learn to assess and imitate moods and might show the first stirrings of empathy. For instance, if your baby hears someone crying, he or she may start crying too. And even though your baby's just beginning to learn about emotions, he or she is picking things up from you. Over the many months (and years) to come, your baby will likely copy the way he or she sees you treat people. Keep that in mind when someone cuts you off in traffic!
