From the start, babies want to explore their world. They are eager to move their eyes, their mouths, and their bodies toward the people and objects that comfort and interest them. They practice skills that let them not only move closer to desired objects, but also move desired objects closer to themselves. As they grow, children's determination to master movement, balance, and fine-motor skills remains intense.
The fetal period is characterized by two processes. The first is rapid growth (increase in size and cell number) and the second is continued tissue and organ differentiation (specialization of cells to perform distinct functions).Rapid growth.he largest increase in absolute weight gain, however, takes place during the final month of gestation. In these four weeks the fetus gains as much weight (500 grams [a little over 1 pound]) as it does during its first twenty weeks of development.
