5 to 8 months
. Around the fifth month, depth perception begins to develop, making the ability to grab your earrings or hair that much easier.
. Your baby's ability to tell the difference between shades of color is developed by 5 months. By 8 months, it's almost as good as an adult's.
. Crawling at this age should be encouraged because it helps with coordination of the eyes with hands, feet and body.
9 - 12 months
. During this period, your
baby should be able to use his eyes and hands together well.
. If your child is an early walker, you may find that hand-eye coordination actually takes longer to develop. An important reason not to rush your
child into taking his first steps!
. Your baby should also be able to judge distances fairly well at this point and have pretty good aim when throwing things.
