From the 2011 Early Literacy Calendar:
By six months of age, babies are aware of many of the parts of their bodies. All About Me not only shows photos of babies’ arms, legs, and eyes, but what those body parts do. As you read this book, you can demonstrate the actions after you read the page. Open and close your eyes, point out the baby’s hands, arms and legs. Give a big hug at the end of the book. Connecting babies to books makes them more interesting and engaging; and over time, babies will be able to do the actions themselves. Some of the first words infants will learn are parts of the body. Attaching actions and talking to babies about what you are doing to them, “I am taking your dirty diaper off your bottom” or “I am putting the hat on your head,” are key interactions that will lead to large vocabularies as children learn to talk.
