10-month-old's development

10-month-old's development

Becoming more mobile
By the time they're 10 months old, babies are usually able to crawl well on their hands and knees, with their limbs straight and their trunk parallel to the floor. Many babies start trying to crawl before 10 months but master the skill only now. At this age, your baby can also sit confidently and may even walk while holding onto furniture, possibly letting go momentarily and standing without support. Once he can stand while steadying himself, your baby will use other objects for support, find ways to pull up onto furniture and even crawl up stairs. He'll take steps when held in a walking position and may attempt to pick up a toy from a standing position. Those magical first steps toward independence -- and lots more exercise for you! -- are just around the corner.

Grabbing with his fingers
Your baby's personality is probably really emerging now. He may be very social, granting broad smiles to everyone he meets, or a little more reticent, shyly hiding his face when well-meaning strangers try to engage him. He'll repeat sounds, gesture for your attention and may even wave goodbye when he sees you head for the door. He's also developing a mind of his own, which you've probably already noticed when he protests being put in his car seat or pushchair.

Handling your baby's fears
There will be times when your child is scared of things he can't understand or of things that didn't formerly bother him, such as a ringing doorbell or the telephone. When this happens, the most important thing you can do as a parent is comfort and reassure him; tell him that you're there and he's fine.

Talking to your chatterbox
Your baby is just beginning to understand many simple words and phrases, so it's more important than ever to keep talking to him. Give your chatterbox a head start on good speech patterns by repeating his words back to him using adult language. If he asks for a "baubau," for example, gently reinforce the correct pronunciation by asking, "Do you want a drink?" At this stage of the game it's best to try to avoid the tendency to use baby talk -- it's fun, but hearing the right words is better for your baby's development. Though it may sometimes feel silly, having conversations with your baby is a great way to encourage his language skills. When he rattles off a sentence of gibberish, respond with "Oh, really? How interesting." He'll probably smile and keep chattering away. Soon you may notice some words or gestures you actually understand, as well as other forms of communication, such as pointing and grunting. Giving your baby a blow-by-blow description of what you're doing is also a great idea, whether you're dicing onions for dinner or folding the laundry. As you put him in his pushchair, say, "There you go, into your blue pushchair. Now let's buckle you in and get you comfortable. Okay, we're off to the park." You can also sing him nursery rhymes, demonstrate actions that go with words (saying "bye-bye" and waving for instance), and play games such as 'patta-cake patta-cake' or 'this little piggy', so he learns to identify key words and phrases. He'll soon start to make the connections. Before long, he'll be clapping his hands together when you do and may begin to say Mama when he's looking at Mum and Dada when Dad comes into the room (though at this point he's still more likely to use the two names indiscriminately).

Is my baby developing normally?
Remember, each baby is unique and meets physical milestones at his or her own pace. These skills are simply a guide to what your baby has the potential to accomplish -- if not right now, then shortly. And if your baby was born prematurely, you'll probably find that it will be a little while before he can do the same things as other children his age. Don't worry. Most doctors assess a premature child's development from the time he should have been born and evaluate his skills accordingly.

Deon is 9months 1day old

Time flies very fast, you already 9months 1day old. To me(mama) its seemed like you were just borned.

Even since you were borned, Mama seldom blog. No Time or Lazy? Hmm... Lazy seemed to have higher percentage, hehe...Now pregnant with Didi, blog no longer interest Mama.. Mama get tired easily, by the time coax you to sleep, Mama fell asleep too, sometime even before you sleep Mama already KO...

Below is an article Mama got from Baby Centre, let see how far you have gone...

Your 9-month-old's development

Almost walking
Your baby is getting closer and closer to full-fledged walking. At this age she can probably crawl up stairs and cruise, moving around upright while holding onto furniture. A few nine-month-olds may even take a few steps -- with support. Your baby is also learning how to bend her knees and how to sit after standing (which is harder to master than you might think!). You can help your baby by standing or kneeling in front of her and holding out your hands encouragingly, by holding both her hands and walking her toward you; or by buying a toddle truck or a similar contraption your baby can hold onto and push (look for toddle toys that are stable and have a wide base of support). Childproofing your home is a necessity now. One good place to start is to put latches on the doors of off-limits cupboards -- babies inevitably make a beeline for such things.

Yes, you are learning, you can walk a few steps with support.

Shoes? Not yet
When their babies start standing and cruising, many parents wonder if shoes are necessary. Until your baby is walking around outdoors regularly, most experts don't think so. Going barefoot not only can help strengthen your child's arches and leg muscles but, according to Penelope Leach in Your Baby and Child, it can also make it easier for your baby to balance when her shoeless feet are free to feel all the textures of what she's walking on.

Hmm...Will only get shoe for you when you start to walk.

Playing and learning
Your baby can now put objects in a container and remove them. Give her a plastic bucket and some colourful blocks (make sure they're not so small she can swallow them) so she can practise this new skill. She also likes toys with moving parts, such as wheels, levers, or doors that open and close. Big plastic cars that your baby can roll around on the floor are fun playthings for both boys and girls. If you take a toy away from her, your increasingly assertive baby is likely to object. She's really starting to be able to make her needs and wants known. About half of all nine-month-olds will initiate passing games, giving away toys and then taking them back. Be her playmate. Try rolling a ball to your baby when you're playing on the floor and see if she rolls it back to you. Give her a sorting toy or stacking rings and see if she sorts or stacks or hands the pieces to you.

Yes, you like toys with wheels that can move around as well as with light and sound. You can hold them in your hands and even throw them away, also not forgetting putting them in your mouth.

Coping with separation
Now, and for the next few months, is when separation anxiety is at its peak. Although it's normal for a nine-month-old to show an extreme attachment to you and fear of everyone else, it can be difficult for doting grandparents and caregivers. You can help ease the transition for your child by warning people to approach slowly and letting the baby make the first move. If your child uses a thumb or a dummy to soothe herself or settle down as she tries to cope with her anxiety, that's okay. Sucking is one of your baby's only methods of calming herself.

Haha, it is not a problem to you. You can be carried by anyone without fear, even stranger can carry you. We are the one worried that you will be carried away by stranger.

Trying to travel
This can be a tough age to travel with your baby. Your child likes predictability, and travelling disturbs her routines. If you do travel, be prepared for a grumpy, clingy child. Have plenty of distractions ready -- picture books, noise-making toys, and, most importantly, her security object. And if she uses a dummy, it's wise to bring along a handful: they seem to vanish just when you need them most.

Have not try yet, but shouldn't be a problem for you because you can adapt quickly.

Language comprehension
The torrent of words your child has been hearing since birth is beginning to work its magic. By now, your baby's understanding of words far outpaces her ability to use them, and her babbling is probably starting to sound more like real words, including "ma" and "da." (Don't get too excited just yet -- they're more than likely not actual words, just a couple of the host of sounds she babbles constantly.) At this stage your child still comprehends more from your tone than from your actual words. The more you talk to her -- while preparing dinner, driving, or getting dressed -- the more your baby learns about communication. In fact, one study found that the greatest predictor of later intelligence is how many words a child hears daily. Of course, idle background chatter and time spent parked in front of the TV don't count -- to help your baby's comprehension, she must hear words and language used interactively. At nine months, a baby begins to understand the word "no," but she may not obey just yet. However, she will respond to her name by looking around or by stopping what she's doing to see who called. Reinforce her recognition behaviour by saying her name frequently.

Yes agreed that you may know the word "no", but you are not obeying. You can respond to your name by looking around or by stopping what you are doing to see who calling you.

Is my baby developing normally?
Remember, each baby is unique and meets physical milestones at his or her own pace. These skills are simply a guide to what your baby has the potential to accomplish -- if not right now, then shortly. And if your baby was born prematurely, you'll probably find that it will take a little while before she can do the same things as other children her age. Don't worry. Most doctors assess a premature child's development from the time she should have been born and evaluate her skills accordingly.
