MY 7 MONTHS OLD BABY(XIU YEN)

Princess Xiu Yen Li

She's watching TV. :)

My baby may have already started feeding herself finger foods, although this can begin as late as 10 months. Once she reaches this stage, I can introduce a sippy cup..

I try giving my baby a cup with a spout and two handles. If she's getting frustrated that she can't get more liquid out of the sippy cup, I'll remove the valve in the lid. If she has trouble figuring out how to suck through the spout,I take the lid off and let her drink straight from the cup. (I'll Show her how to tip it back so the liquid flows into her mouth.) :D

Recognition skills

My baby now actively engages in hiding games. Place one of her favorite toys on the floor and cover it with a napkin. Pull the napkin off and say, "There it is!" Cover it again and repeat.

For more fun, hide an object under something and wait for her to discover it. It's one of the easiest ways to keep my baby occupied!

My baby can remember that the jack-in-the-box pops up at the end of the song — yet she'll still laugh every time. She's also able to recognize different tones and inflections and may burst into tears if I speak harshly. :(

 

Stimulating toys and games

Because she likes predictability, my baby enjoys playing the same game or reading the same book over and over. In addition to patty-cake,I try adding classics such as "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "This Little Piggy" to my repertoire. :DD hahaha

Sippy time

Switching my baby to a cup sooner rather than later might make it easier for her to give up the bottle. :)

Remember, My baby is an individual

All babies are unique and meet milestones at their own pace. Developmental guidelines simply show what My baby has the potential to accomplish — if not right now, then soon. : )
