Calleigh's 7th month Photos

My clever little princess. This month, she has completely transformed from an infant that hardly knew anything, to a much more smart baby! She is aware of her surroundings. She can concentrate on things for much longer period of time without losing interest. She knows how to express emotions. She loves to watch and listen to me read her books. She knows the words – Flowers, Tree, ofcourse – butterfly, dog, cat, bird, fish, pig, cow, tv, spongebob, ernie and bert (sesame street), bath time, sleep, feet, eyes, nose, food, water, book, barney, baby, cold, park, mirror, hat, ball and hair. Understands – no, what do you want/like? Where is it? Where’s the ____? where are you going? Where do want to go?stop it. She can now say – Da-dy, Meeek (milk), boo boo (baby), na na(tara na), i-ya (sira), bfy (butterfly) pa-pap(food/eat) Sometimes the words can be funny and make me laugh, either because of the pronunciation, or because they are unexpected.

Here are some new things she’s been doing:

·         *Baby sign language for Dog, Fish, No, Daddy, bird, milk, play, book, cat, sleep, more, food/eat.

·         *She has discovered that she can pant like a dog (lalo na pag uma-arte), she will growl like a lion (pag badtrip na)

panting like a dog

·          Loves reading books

busy reading? looking at her book ^^

·         *Testing our authority by refusing to follow simple “NO” or “STOP”

honey, i said NO! not your toes Calleigh

·         *She is much more of a talker this month. She strings together her babbling into sounds that are more similar to words than ever before. She doesn't really know what she's saying. I just like to pretend that she's talking to me.

·         *She wants to crawl so badly. She can scoot her way around the bed, backwards and occasionally she will draw her legs up underneath her and scoot forwards too.

·         *She can sit comfortably without support for quite some time! She can't sit herself up from lying down yet.

·        * Pulls up to standing position from sitting, stand while holding onto something

·         *She has become quite the wiggle worm and it is nearly impossible to feed, diaper, or clothe her.

·         *She is taking quite a few naps still...but doesn't like to sleep in the daylight much...which is definitely a new development.

·         *Along with her hair pulling, she has started pulling her OWN hair.

·         *She’s now teething. 2 bottom central teeth.

·         *Bang objects together, gets upset if you take her toy away, Work at getting a toy that is out of her reach

·         *separation and stranger anxiety

·         *wave goodbye

·         *Food: healthy options – earth’s best rice cereal and jarred baby food. Marie biscuit, Nestle yogurt and Ice cream (ocassionally), Taho, recently tried: real banana and egg ^^

coke?

·         *Likes watching Upin and Ipin, Barney, Dora and Phineas and Ferb ^^

It's fascinating to watch her grow.^^
