They associate to the tone of your voice, facial expressions and depending on the situation eg. if baby has just taken its first step and you get really excited, smile a lot and tell them how good they are they know they are making you happy and that when you say "Good girl/boy" again in another situation that you are pleased with them again. Usually takes a few repetitions before they get the general gist of a word.

you keep saying the word good or good baby with a smile and loving voice and baby will get the message. babies are very smart and pick up things eaasily.

The word good is reinforced by your action when you use the word. If you slapped the kid everytime you said "good" it would take on a whole new meaning.

From hearing it over and over again and realizing that you always say "that's good!" with a happy face and happy voice and usually a little loving too.

Children learn from you talking.
If you keep talking to them all through childhood then they learn how to associate words to what they mean.
