Vai: 9 months, 1 week
It’s amazing to see that in less than three months Vai will be a one-year-old boy! Babies grow up SO fast!
And in terms of his developments so far, I guess it’s much easier to list them down using the terms used in the book ‘What To Expect The First Year‘.
Here they are:
>> work to get a toy that’s out of reach
>> look for dropped object
>> pull up to standing from sitting
>> crawl
>> kneel well
>> get into a sitting position from stomach
>> object if you try to take a toy away
>> stand holding on to someone or something
>> pick up tiny object with any part of thumb and finger
>> say “mama” and “dada” indiscriminately
>> babble, using various consonants
>> play peekaboo
>> clap hands and occasionally wave bye bye
>> walk holding on to furniture / cruise
>> understand “no”, but always obey it
>> stand alone momentarily
>> momentarily squat, without holding on to anything
>> climb on to furniture or boxes (or anything!) to reach for objects of interest
