Elizabeth’s 6 to 9 month Milestone’s
Well what a breakthrough, Elizabeth is doing so many things I hope I remember them all.
- Got her first 2 bottom teeth from 6 months 1 week. She was in a little pain till they came out but she coped well. They are so noticible now as she is 9 months old.
- when doing tummy time is actually rolling from her front to back then back to front. She is really loving tummy time, rolling around and grabbing her toys. Is now currently trying to sit up but after a little time falls to her sides :) she is sooo cute.
- Try grabbing a toy off her, she will not let it go the cheeky bugger.
- Loves to read books, sorry did I say read mmmmmmmm I meant chew hahaha!!
- Can say the words Ma Ma, Da Da, Ba Ba, adah, adah.
- When she is hungry will utter the words Mumm Mumm Mumm with a strong voice, its like she knows what she wants.
- Lets not forget her bottle, when its feeding time and she see’s it, Elizabeth gets really upset as she wants it there and then. When she is done and had enough milk or food she pushes the bottle or the food away. At times this can get messy
- When spoken to even if she is eating will turn her head around to see who it is that is talking to her, she also acknowledges her name when uttered.
- Picks up fine objects and can push buttons and looks for objects that are around her. She loves the sound of rustling garbage bags.
- Is sucking and chewing on a teething rusk.
- Is playing peek a boo, and just today I was having a cuppacinno with Lesie and Elizabeth and all of a sudden I noticed that she was lifting up her blankie so that she was playing peek a boo and pulling it down to scare me then giggled (see ‘peak-a-boo’ video below).
- Is now clapping hands not so closly but she has the hang of it.
- Waves when you say bye bye to her and she smiles.
- She still sleeps through the night and wakes up all happy and babbles to herself.
- Her hair is growing slowly but surely.
- Is loving it in Child Care, all the boys want to give her toys to play with and Charlie loves Elizabeth, he wanted to give her a cuddle. We are slowly weaning her off the Dummy but now she is sucking on her fingers and makes herself gag at times. I guess this is all part of exploring. Its not that much fun when she vomits all over me.
hahaha!!! - Overall is growing and developing wonderfully.
