Development - 7th Month

Teething

Finally the tooth fairy is here. Baby Zoey sprout her first white caps (at the lower central incisors) at the age of 7th month. Mummy also noticed that she has more drooling and experimenting with sounds as she is adjusting the strange new things in her mouth. She likes to bite, sometime mummy will freeze her teether and then rub at the teeth. She enjoy it.....

Testing, testing ...

By now, mummy have already told Zoey that the handphone is not a toy, rattles are not for throwing, and remote control is not for bitting, mummy's hair not for pulling and bla.. bla... bla.... The fact is, at this age my baby begin testing my authority by refusing to follow mummy directions or entreaties. Mummy knows that she's not really being disobedient or willful — but she's just curious!. So, the best tactic is to use a simple no, then distract her. Naughty, mummy !

Getting more emotional

Baby Zoey's emotions are becoming more obvious. She able to perform simple tricks, such as bouncing when we sing her favourite song - Happy Birthday, and repeated her act when we applauded.

Exploring objects

Zoey now explore objects by shaking them, banging them, dropping them, and throwing them before falling back on the tried-and-true method of gumming them. Mummy noticed that at this stage, Zoey like to see things fall down, get picked up by mummy, of course, and then get thrown down again. Mummy know that she isn't trying to goad mummy with this cycle; she just finds the spectacle interesting and naturally wants to see it again and again.

She now understands how objects relate to one another, too. For example, she realizes that smaller things fit inside bigger ones, she will throw the block into the container and she is also easily find something mummy hide - especially when mummy hide the aircond remote control.

Feeding Time

Now, baby Zoey is trying to feed herself. She is letting mummy know about her new goal by grabbing a spoon and, eventually, guiding it into her mouth. Mummy letting her to experiment and helping her to learn a new skill, but of course the cereal is end up on her bib or at her cheek. Sometimes, mummy will let Zoey to join us during family mealtime, making Zoey a habit to eat together and be part of our family.

Respond.

What a experience, when mummy found out that Zoey able to repond. When daddy hide behide her back and pat his finger on Zoey shoulder. Zoey will respond immediately by turning her head. She also will laugh out loud when we scratch her back and tickle her feet. She will also squeezed, when we tickle her waist.

Walking

At the age of 7th months 3rd weeks, Zoey knows how to pull herself up and grab on to any available piece of furniture. She will stand for awhile before starting to make her first move - walking. Mummy really amaze that she able to, figure out how to walk pretty easily on her own.

This little naughty baby, wont cries for help when she stump down, instead she will grab on the furniture and stand up again and walk around her play pen.
