Answer 1

I would suggest reading your text book to write your report.

Copying and pasting the research that others do here on yanswers would be plagerism.

Answer 2

They change very dramatically in the first year literally before your eyes!!!They will learn whatever you teach them like little sponges soaking up what they can.The world will be a wonderful thing to them by the time they are 1 year old either crawling or walking they will explore everything & anything that comes into their path!!!Good luck & enjoy every moment of it!!!

Answer 3

There are tons of books on this subject. And it would take an entire book to answer your question. They change so much in the first year. There is no way to answer that question on a forum like this.

The first 12 months may be the most dynamic period of life. Dramatic changes are taking place in all areas of growth and development, which include:

Physical development. Most babies double their birth weight by gaining an average of 0.5 oz (14.2 g) to 1 oz (28.4 g) every day for the first 6 months of life. Birth weight usually triples somewhere between 9 and 12 months of age. By 12 months of age, most babies have grown a total of about 10 in. (25.4 cm) in length since birth. Head circumference usually increases about 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) to 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) per month.
Cognitive development. This is the process by which babies develop the abilities to learn and remember. Babies begin to recognize and interact with loved ones and start to understand that people and objects still exist even when they are out of sight (object permanence).
Emotional and social development. In a loving environment, babies easily bond to their parents. In the first month, newborns express emotion mainly by crying and grimacing or displaying an alert and bright face. By about 4 months, they learn to smile, coo, and move their arms around when excited. By 5 months, babies show a clear preference for a loved one. In the following months, "separation protest" and "stranger anxiety" are two of the ways babies demonstrate this growing attachment. A close bond provides a foundation for future relationships: babies learn from their parents how to love and how to trust.
Language development. Babies' brains are very open to learning, and they quickly absorb the language around them. By about 3 to 6 weeks, babies develop a different crying sound to indicate a specific need (such as hunger or discomfort). By around 2 months of age, they begin to interact with caregivers by cooing and smiling, which proceeds to babbling and chuckling within about 6 months. Also by 6 months, most babies have learned all of the basic and distinct sounds of their native language.1 By the first year most babies can say a few words, like "mama" or "dada," and can understand many more.
Sensory and motor development. A baby's movements become more controlled and deliberate as the newborn reflexes fade. Although seemingly stiff at times, a baby will be limber and coordinated enough in 6 months to suck his or her toes and strong enough to sit with light support. By 10 months, many babies can stand, although they may need support.
