Check out this Ted Talk by Patricia Kuhl on brain-based research on babies'
language learning. Babies are indeed linguistic geniuses who make sense of their world from day one and with such incredible sophistication.
I like a point that she shares about babies' profound openness to learning, something that we, as adults can learn from.
Fascinating!

http://www.ted.com At TEDxRainier, Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another -- by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world.
