Your
Baby's First Year ~ Month 10
Many
babies are babbling up a storm now. There is no point in trying
to identify those first words, though. His expressive, fluent,
and varied jargon is assurance that he will talk in 'real
words' when he's ready. Even if your baby doesn't talk much,
he can probably communicate his wishes well through pointing
and grunting.
Your
baby may also:
-
Drink from a cup
- Stand
alone well
- Say
words other than ma-ma or da-da
- Play
peek-a-boo
- Indicate
wants and needs in ways other than crying
Many
parents also expand their baby's diet now by including:
- Bagels
-
Unsalted soda crackers
- Orange
and tomato juices
- Small
pieces of peeled, soft fruit
- Cottage
cheese
- Yogurt
-
Ground or finely chopped meats
- Egg
yolk
Your
baby's first birthday
is fast approaching. Many parents plan for the occasion for
months, while others just have a small celebration with little
advance preparation. What will you do? Talk
to other's about it!
