HOW YOUR BABY GROWING

Homing in on sounds

Your baby now realizes where sounds come from, and he'll turn quickly toward a new one. One of the easiest ways to engage him is to jingle a set of keys. Wind chimes are great attention-getters, too.

Your baby may now be able to recognize his own name and understand that you're speaking to him when you say it. You may notice that your little one turns his head when you call him or talk about him with others.

If you want to engage and entertain your baby, all you need to do is talk to him. At this age, babies don't learn language from the television or radio, so turn them off and use real dialogue instead.

A growing range of emotions

Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way you can. Although he can clearly let you know when he's happy or unhappy, his ability to demonstrate his love and sense of humor is just developing.

As your baby gets older, he may start to cry when you leave the room and get excited when you come back in. He may also raise his arms when he wants to be picked up and give you pats on the back.

And you'll probably see him getting your jokes — he'll laugh at funny expressions and try to make you laugh too. Keep the laughter flowing with your silly faces!

Irma memang dah tau nama dia dah. And dia tau bila kita cakap pasal dia.
Oh Irma sekarang memang laa dah mula menangis tiap kali mama letak dia kat playpen, unless dia dah tidur. Kalau dulu bila kita letak dia, dia rileks je. Sekarang pantang mama letak, sure nangis takmo kena tinggal. And yes, dia akan angkat tangan bila mama nak dukung dia.
Irma dah pandai gelak jugak. Tapi dia gelak sikit-sikt aje. Ala-ala sopan gitu. Hiks.
