Babies are amazing! Everyday, they seem to be doing something new. Below are just few things that I can remember for what Anika got upto at 7 months old….
- First intentional word was Tasha (Sasha whole patting our dog). She does make sounds like mama and dada but they are not intentional yet.
- Loves giving cuddles.
- Directs her day by pointing to what she wants to do next. Ex- points to CD player when she wants music on!
- She has started showing a very cheeky side! She bites and then gives big cuddles. She offers food and then takes it away!
- She recognizes many words and points at them correctly. Some of them are- stars, light, daddy, Sasha, dog, cat, birdie, mama….
- She lifts on all her fours. Tummy crawls backwards and in circles.
- She spends a lot of time doing push ups.
- Anika absolutely loves social interactions with babies and adults.
- She shows a clear preference for wanting to go outside at all times.
- Recognizes people she sees every week and extends her arms out when she wants to be carried by them.
- Loves to throw everything, including her food!
- Hates wearing a bib! Loves feeling the food while eating it.
- Got her first tooth and the second one is on the way.
- Loves small things like a speck of dirt! Loves to play with hoodie strings, labels, zips and clothes.
- Recognizes herself in the mirror and pictures and loves it!
- Loves holding things in one hand and manipulating it with the other hand.
- Dancing is her all time favorite thing to do.
- Recognizes all her favorite rhymes.
- Enjoys putting the ball in the hole, in object permanence box.
- Loves taking out rings from a stacker.
- Plays peekaboo by herself and invites others to join in…
- Loves taking out all the tissues from the tissue box and tearing it into pieces.
- Flip fingers was her all time favorite Montessori inspired toy. We are so grateful for this amazing gift from Every Educaid.
- She also explored a whole lot of treasure baskets.
