Although the growth rate is not as fast as in the previous months, it is still unstoppable. Oh, and his teeth start to come out.
It has reached the middle of its first year, and the growth rate, although slower than in the previous months, remains unstoppable. You are now able to make deliberate movements with one hand, hold an object, hit it, or throw it when it bores you. Oh, and his teeth start to come out.
This stage sounds like a milestone, a date marked on the calendar. At six months of age, he is still a baby, but he can already be attributed to the capabilities of a big boy. And it is that, in this half-year, the little one has matured a lot and at giant steps.
It already shows:
– It is twice as heavy as when it came into the world and, although from now on its growth will not be as spectacular, it will continue to increase in size when introducing solid foods to its diet.
– Many babies begin to wear “mane”. But there is no need to worry if they still have ahead without a single hair.
– Their balance has improved so much that some children this age are already able to sit for a while, even without anyone holding them. Most do not succeed until nine months.
– He already turns around perfectly, so it is important to be more careful when changing him, to avoid accidents. You will enjoy spending time on the floor. If it is cold, a good idea is to put a mat or rubber or soft rubber floor. This way he will turn around freely and rehearse the movements he needs to reach until he reaches a toy. In this way you will develop different ways and types of displacement precursors of crawling.
– If you hold the armpits with your feet touching the ground, you will like to support your weight on your little feet. What’s more, he often makes small jumps by bending his knees and stretching them.
LOVE YOUR BODY
Uncovered his hands, whose movement is increasingly coordinated, continues to explore every hole in his body. It will not be unusual for you to surprise him with his finger in his ear or mouth. Also, have you noticed the strange postures he takes when he twists his body? You won’t be able to stop smiling when you discover it playing with your toes.
DUCKS TO WATER!
Maybe it’s a good time for you to get to know the wading pool. Remember not to part with him and make a game of this foray. A bad step that causes swallowing water could end the fun. If you have bathed in a tub, it is probably easier for you to enjoy the outdoor pool.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR BABY THIS MONTH:
? By resting both hands in front or holding onto cushions, you can begin to stay seated
? If you are face down, you are already able to hold onto the trunk and move both hands
? He already has great manual skill and good visomotor coordination: he takes what you give him much more easily, holds the bottle, uses his hand as a rake to bring objects closer, and extends his arms if he wants to reach what catches his attention. At this moment he brings it all to his mouth
? Increasingly develops his language skills, something that excites his parents
? Laughs, shouts, babbles to answer us, blows, trumpets, imitates sounds like coughing, or plays with your own voice. Enjoy being the center of attention
