At 9 months, your baby is now a
fast crawler.. They would crawl using their two knees and they are super fast.
Most of these babies would climb the stairs but be very careful they might fall
down so parents please keep watch. Just like my daughter, she would climb up
the stair and go down on her own but of course, we still assist her to avoid
accidents.
They are also playful and would
tend to move a lot. They would change position rapidly from sitting down to
crawling to standing and then sitting down again. When they walk, other books
would suggest that we should allow babies to walk barefoot for them to develop
their muscles on their feet. I guess that is also a good suggestion. It worked
for my son (first born) and I am doing it for my 2nd born.
They are also developing their
motor skills especially fine motor skills. They would pinch you literally. Or they
would pick up small pieces of items from the floor using their little thumb and
index fingers.
Clapping of hands is also learned
in this stage. Even high five is learned but only by consistency basis. In
addition to that, babies will have more teeth. At 9 months, my daughter has
already 4 milk teeth; two on the upper incisors and two lower incisors and one
lateral incisor on the lower area coming. Sometimes, it makes them
uncomfortable or uneasy and even sleepless. There is oral teething gel for this
case but go to your Doctor first.
They love playing with balls. I
suggest big soft balls for throwing. I was even surprise when my 4 year old boy
played with me and the little baby went crawling towards us and picked up the
ball and threw it. She wanted to join. So we played and we all enjoyed it.
You can even
teach them to dance. Just play the music and show them. They would love it and
they would really smile a lot.
That's it for now mommies, I hope you enjoy! Comment below for questions and suggestions. Thanks!
