At around 5 months old, a baby's ability to see how far an object is from them called depth perception has developed more fully. They are seeing the world in 3 dimensions 3-D more completely. They get better at reaching for objects both near and far. They also have good color vision at this point, though not quite as fully developed as an adult's.
At this stage, a baby may recognize their parent across a room and smile at them. They can see objects outside when looking through a window. They might even remember what an object is even if they only see part of it. Babies generally start crawling at around 8 months old, and this further enhances their eye-hand coordination. At about 9 months old, babies can generally judge distance pretty well.
This is about when they start to pull themselves up to stand. Your baby's eyes are probably their final color now. However, it is not uncommon to see some slight changes later. At around 10 months old, babies can usually see and judge distance well enough to grasp something between their thumb and forefinger.

The researchers randomly assigned some babies to receive training in using a powered baby go-cart, providing them with locomotor experience, while other babies received no such training.
Critically, none of the babies had begun to crawl. The data revealed that infants who used the baby go-cart showed tell-tale increases in heart rate when confronted with the virtual drop-off, indicating that they were fearful; infants in the control condition did not show such increases.
What about locomotor experience brings about the wariness? The data showed that, as they gain locomotor experience, infants come to rely more on visual information about how their movement is controlled relative to the environment.
At the edge of a drop-off, much of this information is lost, thereby making the locomoting infants and adults wary you can see an example of a wary infant in this video from the Campos lab.
As such, infants who are delayed in locomotor experience — whether for neurological, cultural, or medical reasons — are likely to be delayed in showing avoidance of heights. The researchers surmise that a period of fearlessness may encourage infants to explore their environment, helping them develop movement strategies and learn how to adapt to terrain.
