WOW! YOUR BABY IS ONE YEAR OLD!
By Jill Tomlin
Take time to pull out the photo albums and review the miraculous changes you've witnessed in your baby this past year. Incredible! Most important, revel in all baby can do as she celebrates her first year. Baby has a delightful sense of humor, and she takes great pleasure in teasing you. She loves to express affection, and she's most likely has mastered the art of hugging and kissing. What a great year it's been -- and what an amazing adventure your family has ahead of you.Milestones this month*
- Your baby now drinks from a cup without assistance. - chab doesn't yet, she is now enjoying straws.
- She can stand alone for several minutes. - chab can even almost run!
- Baby walks well (keep in mind that good crawlers often are late walkers). - chab wasn't much of a crawler, almost went straight to standing. Chab thinks that she is spiderman. She likes to climb things even if they are walls or cabinets, she will put her foot up to get a good grip to start climbing.
- She waves good-bye and plays pat-a-cake. - she waves goodbye since her 9th month, now, she can SAY 'bye'. Moves her hands when you sing pat-a-cake.
- Baby says "mama" and "dada." - says memi or mama, signs daddy.
- She says other one-syllable words (like "hi"). chab says bo for ball and ba for balloon, ba for banana and ba for umbrella!
- Baby expresses her wants with gestures and words instead of cries. - chab signs the words and points and grunts if she doesn't know the sign. She prefers to walk on her own now to get where and what she wants. Mostly, she likes to walk on her own and doesn't like holding our hands, especially when exploring.
- She engages in gibberish conversation. - chab has her own language at night, and talks herself to sleep. She repeats everything we say now, and likes to talk much.
- Baby responds to simple commands. - chab knows how to say how old she is by holding up one finger. She can also show her belly when you ask, and touch her brown hair, when asked, "where's your brown hair?" She can do 'gigil', beautiful eyes, and many more.
