Development - 6th Month

Recognition skills
It's all about fun this month! Baby Zoey now actively engages in hiding games and can remember when she press the button on the turtle (toy) back, she will able to see the flashing light and music will start to play. Figuring out how objects relate, Zoey's beginning to understand how objects relate to one another in three-dimensional space. She may be able to sort toys, grouping items by size.

She admires her reflection in a window and when mummy suddenly appear behind her image, she will turn and look for
mummy, instead of believing that mummy are in the mirror itself. A simple game of peekaboo is absolutely fascinating to Zoey. Daddy likes to play with her and she will laugh and laugh when she see daddy face. That's because she's starting to understand object permanence (that an object he can't see can still exist) and loves games where people or things appear and disappear. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to keep this little 6-month-old baby occupied.


Fun Time
Her fine motor skills are coming along, too. Some of her skills are include transfering a toy from one hand to the other, banging objects together, clasping her hands, and grabbing for a toy using only one hand, pushing or throwing her the toy away, grabbing her pacifier when mummy put it on the bed, touching colourful things. When mummy bring her to shopping she will move forward her whole herself to the toy or any attrative things, then she will try to touch it by using her hand. She just likes to explore and curious about everything.


Stimulating toys and games
At this age, Zoey tend to gravitate toward stuffed animals, both big and small. She likes all the soft toys given to her. Mummy have introduced some aminal toys to her such as hipo, flamingo, octupus, lion, giraffe, zebra, rabbit, cow, doggie, fish, bear and beattle. Usually, she will grab and stare at her toy and later she will stuff it in her mouth. Other good toys include balls, blinking toy and pop-up toy which she enjoy playing at this time.


Standing
It's happening already...Zoey is showing the first stirrings of independence. By six months and second week she can sit well without support. At this young age she can even pull herselves up to a standing position while holding onto furniture. she is also a good propper; if mummy stand her next to the sofa, she able to maintain the posture, hanging on for dear life. With this new independence comes the inevitable bumps and falls of childhood.


Bouncing Baby & Sitting Pretty
Baby Zoey can now support some of her weight on his legs, and she loves to bounce. When, mummy called out her name, Zoey will turn her head and smile at mummy. She will bounce and bounce at her walker, and open up her arm. This is one of her favourite movement - to indicate to us that she wants us to carry her.

She able to sit unsupported at the age of 6 months forth weeks(which frees his hands for exploring) and pivot to reach a desired object. She even able to get into sitting position from lying on his stomach by pushing up on his arms. Zoey can sit for awhile and play with her toys.


Waves Goodbye
By 6 months and 3 weeks, Zoey knows how to waves goodbye. Thanks to kung kung effort in teaching Zoey to respond and react when we says "Ta Ta". This simple act amuse most of our friends and also strangers, especially when mummy bring her out.


Da Da
Morning 15 of April 06, po po brought Zoey over to mummy bedroom, as usual when we placed her on our bed, Zoey will do her rolling action. She will roll herself to daddy on the left and then

Daddy and mummy was so surprise and both of us look at each other and immediately we gave her a big hug her and a kiss on her cheek. Then, she look at us and gave us a cheeky smile.
