Or more spiritually, whether passing someone is not a "match" or not. But then, your baby suddenly returns to be cheerful, bright like the sun that you haven't even had time to do for them.

Chances are, you're going through a huge leap in mental development. This is also known as Wonder Weeks Week.

Wonder Weeks is understood the true meaning of the English word: crisis weeks, stormy weeks. This is a term used to describe the strong stages of development in an infant.

During the first two years of life, there are periods of remarkable development in the baby, both physically and mentally. In just one night, your baby can wake up and crawl around the house, or may suddenly know how to say "Mom mum mum" when you want to eat that you have never even taught him to speak before.
