How many words can your little one sign now?

How many words can your little one sign now? Calleigh (at 10 months) knows a lot of signs - milk, play, telephone, no, fish, butterfly, dog, bird, cat, more, daddy, mommy, bath, thank you, finish / all done, up, stars and so on... It's amazing to see how she signs back. 
 Calleigh signing for "more"
  Calleigh signing for "more"
Calleigh signing for "telephone"

Here's her video signing back. ^^ ASL - dog, fish, more and milk.

Hirap lang kunan ni Calleigh paminsan kasi ayaw gawin. hehehe!

Snuffle

Calleigh is 10 months old now and been sleeping through the night. But still, I'm a HORRIBLY light sleeper.  

Why? - my husband snores all the time! Tried - waking him up with a sharp elbow to the ribs accompanied by a command to "roll over on your side" (which, incidently, almost ALWAYS results in him going "I'm already on my side" while he lays there, ON HIS BACK.) And guess what? Calleigh snores too!!!

 
but not every night though, a couple of times a week. Heehee! CUTE!!! nothing to worry about my baby snoring. According to this article. ^^


Anyway, the real reason for being a light sleeper --- Aaaahhh! "Praning" Mommy mode. Even if she sleeps with us, I still wake up in the wee hours just to check on her. ^^

Calleigh's 9th month photos


Calleigh the Explorer. ^^ She has mastered the art of crawling, sitting, standing and the world of temper tantrums. Ugh! 

Here are some new things she’s been doing:

-          Baby sign language / asl – more, food, bath, sleep, telephone, hi and bye
-          Learned how to give kisses and hugs, following commands like: no, come here, lie down, pull, stop, answer the phone, read, sing, dance... There are a lot of phrases that she is beginning to understand and it's amazing to know that she is learning to communicate in different ways. She will now hand me things when I ask for them. She usually wants them back pretty quickly, though.

-          She says the following words with ease:  mum, daddy, papa, mama, hi,  baba (baby), wow, no, go, hair, NYE at at at GANDA. Heehee! 

-          Loves watching “ELMO” – memorize ko na lahat ng cds niya and i’m sure si calleigh din. 

-          She can walk while holding onto furniture.
-          Still coping with separation anxiety.  (I just learned that - Sneaking away from your baby without saying good-bye is a definite no-no (that erodes her trust in you) YAIKS! 


-          Likes reading books, playing with her flashcards.

She’s been working her ways to express herself, such an adorable jibber-jabber. ^^ She’s turning 10 months tomorrow, moving on to bigger-kid stuff...

Brainy Calleigh

Calleigh is almost 10 months old (bukas na) heehee! and she has come so far, grown so much, and learned many new things - mimicking the sound of a tiger, duck, bird, clock, at kahit ako pag galit. Knows a lot of words - wow, papa, mama, mum, daddy, no, nye!, hi, Te (ate), rara (cousin Klara), papap (food), "Ganda"...etc! 
BEH!!!

Sharing some of her videos... Enjoy!

Bottle Feeding

Calleigh tried holding her bottle when she was 3 months old. Heehee! It was too heavy for her but atleast she gets the idea. ^^ During her 6th month, she suddenly decided to stop holding her bottle. When she's finally got good at it, she decided that she didn't really want to do it after all. hay naku!

But she needs to hold her bottle! She's turning 10 months na! So we need to practice Calleigh. ^^

Good girl honey
Feeding times may slow down, let your baby hold her bottle once she starts grabbing for it. The weight will build strength and there is a built-in reward for successfully moving the bottle the way it needs to be moved to get at the contents. During the first year of your child’s life, you can help her develop the fine motor skills that she will need for writing, drawing, speaking, and tying shoes.  What muscles will your baby be developing when you work with her on fine motor skills? The small muscles you and she will be working on are in the palms of her hands, her fingers and surrounding her mouth and eyes. These muscles are what she uses to grasp and manipulate objects, speak, and develop hand-eye coordination.

Okay Calleigh time for you to hold your bottle. ^^ lets see...




Naks! galing ni Calleigh ah! She holds her bottle only for a few seconds then ayaw na niya ulit. ^^ heehee! No worries, she'll get used to it!

Elmo loves his goldfish! His crayon too 
That's Elmo's World ...

Remember Calleigh's comfort toy? That's ELMO. ^^ My daughter is an Elmo fanatic.  Everytime we go to toy stores, we have to stop by the Elmo toys, so she could look and play with those even though she already got some of them at home.

Calleigh went from Barney to Upin Ipin to Dora. Now, she just love watching Elmo's World...whew! Calleigh sings and dances while watching, she will sit and watch it long enough for me to finish this blog. heehee! ^^

O diba parehas pa silang naka taas ang kamay ni Elmo. hahahaha!
