since I am a new mom and given that there's no one who guides me, I always consult mommy forums to give me ideas on how to's.
Milestone chart: 7 to 12 months
Child's Age | Mastered Skills (most kids can do) | Emerging Skills (half of kids can do) | Advanced Skills (a few kids can do) |
7 months | Sits without support Drags objects toward herself | Lunges forward or starts crawling Jabbers or combines syllables Starts to experience stranger anxiety | Waves goodbye Stands while holding onto something Bangs objects together Begins to understand object permanence |
8 months | Says "mama" or "dada" to parents (isn't specific) Passes objects from hand to hand | Stands while holding onto something Crawls Points at objects Searches for hidden objects | Pulls self to standing, cruises Picks things up with thumb-finger pincer grasp Indicates wants with gestures |
9 months | Stands while holding onto something Jabbers or combines syllables Understands object permanence | Cruises while holding onto furniture Drinks from a sippy cup Eats with fingers Bangs objects together | Plays patty-cake and peek-a-boo Says "mama" or "dada" to the correct parent |
10 months | Waves goodbye Picks things up with pincer grasp Crawls well, with belly off the ground | Says "mama" or "dada" to the correct parent Indicates wants with gestures | Stands alone for a couple of seconds Puts objects into a container |
11 months | Says "mama" or "dada" to the correct parent Plays patty-cake and peek-a-boo Stands alone for a couple of seconds Cruises | Understands "no" and simple instructions Puts objects into a container | Says one word besides "mama" or "dada" Stoops from standing position |
12 months | Imitates others' activities Indicates wants with gestures | Takes a few steps Says one word besides "mama" or "dada" | Walks alone Scribbles with a crayon Says two words besides "mama" or "dada" |
But since I got the best baby ever, I think introducing Mason into solids is a milestone that is way to achievable for us.
see proofs below:
. | His definitely a hunngry baby |
Mason looking for crumbs.. { I think }
after just just less than 10 minutes, Mason finishes up his first cookie and was acting as if nothing happens and asking for more.
