A. compared to their 1st month, when they only focus on objects about a foot away, babies three or four months of age have better color perception and can start to make out other objects besides faces, like toys. by 4 months, they should also start to show more conscious behavior like reaching for their toys and smiling deliberately at you when you dmake eye contact. babies might show a reflexive smile, grinning for no apparent reason, from birth, but between 4 weeks to 4 months, thdey'll develop a social smile, either responding to another person or trying to get someone else to smile at them.
