_Instinctive Movements._--Sixty-second week, child stands a few seconds
when support is withdrawn. Sixty-third week, walks, holding on to a
support (277). Sixty-fourth week, can walk without support, if he thinks
he is supported; sixty-fifth week, walks holding by one finger of
another's hand; raises himself to knees, stands up if he can hold to
something (278).

of arm (314). Sixty-fourth week, nodding sometimes accompanies the word
"no"; four hundred and forty-fifth day, an accompanying movement (316).

he wants something (318). Same made in asking for amusement (319). Wish
expressed by handing a ring, looking at glasses to be struck, and saying
_hay-[)u]h_ (323).
INTELLECT.
Hunting for scraps of paper, etc. (17). After burning his finger in
flame of candle, the child never put it near the flame again, but would,
in fun, put it in the direction of the candle. He allowed mouth and chin
to be wiped without crying (20).
_Speech._--New sound _wa_; astonishment expressed by
_h[=a]-[=a]-[)e][=a]-[)e]_, joy by crowing in high and
prolonged tones, strong desire by _haeoe_, _hae-[)e]_, pain,
impatience, by screaming in vowels passing over into one
another (121). The _atta_ still used when a light is dimmed
(122). Advance in repeating syllables. Child is vexed
when he can not repeat a word. One new word, _heiss_ (hot)
(123). The _s_ is distinct; _th_ (Eng.) appears; _w_;
smacking in sixty-fifth week; tongue the favorite plaything
(124). Understands words "moon," "clock," "eye," "nose,"
"cough," "blow," "kick," "light"; affirmative nod at "ja"
in sixty-fourth week; negative shaking at "no"; holding
out hand at words "Give the hand" or "hand"; more time
required when child is not well (125).
_Feeling of Self._--Child bit his finger so that he cried out with pain
(191). Sixty-second week, playing with his fingers as foreign objects;
pressing one hand down with the other (195). Sixty-first week, trying to
feel of his own image in the mirror (199).
SIXTEENTH MONTH.
