Saw this article in a magazine (Enfamil Family Beginning) that was mailed to me. Pretty interesting so I though I should post it here so my reader get a chance to read it and also for my future reference.

Age: 1 Month
What baby sees: She'll start to notice movement and high-contrast patterns, such as a checkerboard. Hang a mobile above your baby's crib for visual stimulation.
Age: 2 Months

What baby sees: Depth and three-dimensional perception are falling into place. This means your baby can better recognize you from across the room.

What baby sees: Your baby is beginning to process object permanence, the understandg that things exist even when they're out of sight -- such as a toy hidden beneath a blanket.
Age: 6 Months
What baby sees: Your baby can now see small objects clearly and focus on details. She's also starting to distinguish between carying shades of the sam color.
