Happy 9th Month My Angel! :)
Posted by: MommyMay / Category: Baby Life, Milestones, Mommy LifeYey! Nico is now officially a 9-month old baby 
This earned him the privilege of joining the world renowned Creepy Crawlers Club hihihi! My intent little angel now loves to sit independently, loves to play games (and would rather not go to sleep), loves to crawl (and how fast can he crawl!), and loves to practice walking while holding on to anything he can get his hands on. Yep, he’s getting a sense of independence already — sometimes it’s good but there are times it’s frustrating that he wants to do everything on his own!
So my darling has become a little too opinionated and I make sure that I keep up a constant chatter with him while bathing, dressing, feeding, walking, playing and in almost all his waking hours. I heard this encourages speech development. I also encourage him to play with toys that are just appropriate to his age. I can see that he loves to bounce a lot, roll, play pick and drop and bang things together. I guess that develops his motor skills as well and provides him opportunities for safe exploration.
But of course, at his age, he must also know that he’s got limits and that he must understand the word “No”. Well, a spanking is not encouraged at his age yet. I see to it that when I’m angry, I just live him for a few minutes on his crib to play or give him an idea that I’m ignoring him because he’s done something wrong. I guess at his age he can already realize his mistakes. But oh well, it doesn’t guarantee that he’s not doing it again hahaha!
Two of the best things though that I love in Nico’s age is that he now sleeps through the night — without interruption; and when he wakes up in the morning, he just sits down and touch my face (my mouth or nose) saying Maaaammmm as if waking me up. And when I open my eyes, he’s there smiling at me. Ohhh.. isn’t that cute?
Ahhh.. I’m sure many many wonderful things will come with my baby growing up. For now, I just want to sing him a happy happy 9th month, celebrate this day with a pint of ice cream (his favorite) and a new toy and friend – Mickey Mouse!!!
