My baby is growing up ! She is beginning to understand her surroundings little by little .. Some of the milestones that she has reached (between her 8th and 10th month) are jotted below ..
- responds to her name
- holds self to stand up
- sits for extended periods
- crawl very well
- drink from her sippy cup on her own
- plays with imaginary characters in the air
- she understands 'NO'
- likes to play 'peek-a-boo' [like hide-n-seek]
-reaches for spoon when I feed her
-use thumb and finger pincer grasp to pick things up
- drop thins down and look for them
- very attentive when i sing to her
- bang objects together
- loves to see herself in the mirror
- pass objects from one hand to the other
- separation anxiety - which means she needs to be within mom's eye view .. if she does not, then automatically she will cry
Hubby and I are working on a few essential things that we think is a good practice:
- daily morning brush her 3 teeth
- daily listen to slokas (prayers)
- tv time only for 15 minutes
- play time with toys
- feed her solids seating her on high chair, that way there are some rules while eating
- daily reading , spending some time in barnes n nobel childrens section
- sleeping in her crib
- trips to our nearby park play area
- introducing all our regular food to her
- socializing
MISC:
1. even though she sleeps through the night, there are still phases every night where she will stand up crying .. we are working on this one every night :-))
2.car seat tantrums - she does not like the restrictive feeling in the car seat and screams herself to sleep eventually
3. she is very friendly by nature and likes socializing. But as a mother, I have my concerns here. She will eventually need to understand that talking to strangers in NOT OK.
Here are some educative links:
