Lil' Angel turned 9 months on Sunday and what an exciting month it has been! Everyday is a SURPRISE as she will surprise us with her new tricks! She can...
- Crawl very well now...and she knows how to avoid hitting her head on the floor (well...most of the time) when she loses her balance...
- Be in the sitting position from any position she was at previously...be it lying on her back, her tummy, side ways, handstand...with absolute ease...
- Pull herself up from sitting position and stand with support...and she can now stand for about 5 seconds independently...
- Walk a little with support...
- Wave "Bye-Bye"...
- Do the "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" finger action when I sing the song to her...
- Point to objects that interest her such as lights, birds...
- Look at the direction of certain items eg. when we ask where's the fish...she will turn to look at the fish tank...
- Pick up small objects like Gerber puffs with her thumbkin and pointer...
- Play Peek-a-Boo...she loves it when I hide behind my blankie or pillow and ask "Where's Mommy?", she will squeal/ laugh with delight and crawl over to pull the blankie away. When I place the blankie over her head and ask "Where's Caitlyn?", she will remove her blankie and reveal herself...with a big smile!
- Play ball with me...I'll roll to her and she will roll/throw it back to me...
- Play with shape sorter toys...
- Indicate to me that she wants her milk by tugging my shirt and placing her face on the milk machines...
- Drink from a straw...
- Talk...ok...trying to talk. She has babbled a few "words" such as "A...", "There", "BaBaa", "YeYe", "DaDa" and the occassional "MaMaa"...and she babbles pretty loudly too!
- Not forgetting...she can DRIVE too!
I have started her on egg yolk, organic wholemeal bread, pork and beef porridge besides fish. Her appetite is getting better and I'm glad that she's not a fussy eater. She has four teeth now...2 at the top and 2 at the bottom...and she bites!
This month will be another exciting one as she will be experiencing lots of firsts...first flight, first trip, first snow...
