#AskTheExpert : My baby boy is 5 n half months old n is very active instead but at times he ignore people around n stares at his own fingers. is it normal?

A. A baby who stares at his hands is simply gaining visual ability and the coordination to bring his hands together — and is getting ready for even bigger developmental tricks. At around 3 months, babies will bring their hands together intentionally and soon after will try to bat at objects or grasp things.
