Most babies become pros at anticipating what's to come by 12 months, but they begin to develop expectations even earlier, especially as they learn cause and effect -- that their actions have consequences. Try these fun games to help:
Take your baby by the hands, count to three, then pull him to standing. After a few times, you'll see him wiggle as soon as you start counting.
Play peekaboo. Part of the fun for your baby is knowing that in a second, you'll pop out from behind your hands.
Sing songs with hand motions. If you always tickle your baby at the end of "Itsy-Bitsy Spider," he'll squeal with glee as soon as he sees the spider climb up the water spout.
