The article below will give you some information about 44 week old baby's development such as talking, walking, growth, memory and more.
1. Increase vocabulary
At this age, your child can say a word or two, but usually refers to things that he loves or pays a lot of attention to in everyday life. This is also the period when children learn to point. That's how your child will ask what you're looking at so they can expand their vocabulary. Tell your child what it is like “is that a duckling” or that they see in the sky “an airplane”. You may find yourself asking incessantly, but remind yourself that you'll see results when your child starts saying some new words on their own.
2. Mobility
Have you noticed that you can't take your eyes off your baby, or else your baby will crawl right into your drawers, closet, pantry. It's been a great experience for a 44-week-old baby, perfecting not only his ability to move around but also maneuvering objects around the house with his fine motor skills.

To keep your child safe and happy while playing, try:
Alternative toys. Does your child really want your phone? Does your child keep an eye on the scissors when you use them? At this stage, babies are very observant and learn by imitating your actions. But obviously some items are not safe for babies to play with. If your baby shows interest in things you don't want them to touch, see if there are toy alternatives. Use real life tools. Children love the feeling of being involved in something. Think about if you can come up with creative ways to get your kids involved in whatever you're doing. If you cook, give your child a few wooden spoons or measuring cups to play with. If you are gardening, let your child play with a clean gardening glove. If you're styling your baby's hair, give her a small comb and show her how to comb her hair on her own. These simple strategies will not only keep your baby playing safely, but they will also help him continue to learn about the world around him.
3. Safe with water
Water appeals to most babies, whether it's in the tub, toilet, dog bowl, pool or puddle. Children love to hit the water, splash it, pour it out and get as wet as they can. While it's great to raise a child who enjoys water, drowning is still one of the top risks for children. Here are some ways to keep your baby safe when playing with water :
Never leave your child alone in water, even for five seconds and even when the water is dry. Babies can drown with just one inch of water, so whether your child is bathing or swimming, always keep them within arm's reach. If you have a pool, surround it with a fence that is at least four feet high and has a locked gate. When your child swims, have him or her wear a life jacket, life jacket or inflatable swim ring. Do not leave buckets of water around children. Very active and curious young children will be tempted to explore the mop bucket or the laundry basin. Be sure to close the toilet lid or better latch the toilet door so kids can't get in. Choose a waterproof mat for the tub, if you don't already have one. This mat will help the baby to stand upright in the tub.
