Provide soft, textured number blocks or puzzles for the infant to manipulate during floor time. You can make some number blocks with empty plastic single-serve baby food containers. Use nontoxic paint to write the numerals inside the bottom of the container but visible right way up from outside. Seal the container shut. Watch the infant as he/she plays and comment, "Look Jessie, you have the number three."
