Development - 11th Month


Attachment
My 11 month old is starting to be very attached to her pohpoh. I know this can be a good feeling, but there will come a time when pohpoh need a break and it won't be possible because she is so attached to her.

Mummy agreed that spending few hours a day playing with Zoey is totally unacceptable. it is hard but this is the life of a working mom. Pohpoh is her primary care giver and have been there since she is born, of course Zoey is bonding with pohpoh, and mummy is more than happy because pohpoh is babysitting her and she is close to her grandparents and not someone else.


Physical Development
This 11-month-old is also becoming more adept at using her hands. At this age she enjoy "putting things in" and "taking them out" — for instance :-

Toys : Block

Placing objects such as blocks into larger containers and then dumping them out. She will also gleefully knocking down the block towers which mummy build.

Brushing her hair

When mummy hand over the comb to her, she will grab it and brudh her hair. She will also grasp the hairclip from mummy and try to clip it at her hair.

Powder Puff

When she managed to grab the powder puff, she will immediately puff on her stomach, her face and her arm.

Peekaboo

She know how to play peekaboo. When mummy said peekaboo, Zoey will repond by putting her both hand on her face and open up and smile back to us.

Eating Habit

Any bite-size food that baby Zoey can pick up and eat himself qualifies as a finger food. Finger foods are fun for Zoey to play with and an important first step toward independence. But mummy noticed that finger food can get messy easily, usually mummy will let her finish up all her food before cleaning up the floor.

She like to hold her biscuit and bite slowly, she can finish up one piece of discuit in one meal. She also know how to eat fruit by herself. This is to let her enjoying this important learning experience that helps develop fine motor skills.
