>I sure love my daughter so much that everything I have in mind and everything that I do or plan is always for her best. I can’t describe how happy I am to have her in my life. She makes me laugh, giggles, smiles, sad and hurt when she’s not feeling… a mix emotions of a mother… and most of all she gives me more strength and hopes to do the best that I can for her…
Below are the list of “Parenting and Behavioral” of a 9 months old.
1. Keep up a constant chatter with your 9-month-old child. Talking to your child while dressing, bathing, feeding, playing, walking and driving encourages speech development.
2. Encourage play with age-appropriate toys. Babies like to bounce, swing, reach for you, pick up and drop objects, and bang things together. Unbreakable household objects such as plastic measuring cups, large wooden spoons, pots, pans and plastic containers make great toys. A foam rubber ball helps the child develop his or her small motor skills.
3. Provide opportunities for safe exploration.
4. Begin to set limits by using verbal “no’s,” distraction, removing the object from the baby’s sight or removing the baby from the object. Never use spanking as a form of discipline, even a “little” tap on the hand. If you become angry with your baby, put the child in his or her crib or playpen for one or two minutes. This will allow you to calm down and allows your baby to realize he or she has done something wrong. Consistence of discipline is very important – adhering to the limits you set keeps your child safe.
5. Shoes are not necessary at this age (except for “show”). They should be used only to protect the feet from sharp objects and the cold.
6.Stranger anxiety may limit some parent’s ability to leave their 9-month-old with grandparents or a baby sitter. It is important for parents to get out from time to time without their little one. You get a breather, and your son or daughter learns that sometimes you do go away, but you always come back.
>My boy will turn 6 months this Friday and he's already started reaching and dropping things. It's SO funny. And dangerous. He likes reaching for the things we're drinking (hot coffee!). And we put 'shoes' on him that are lightweight little leather things. He gets his little feet dirty without them.
He amazes me every single day.
