Papers are of a great attraction to infants and toddlers. The ripping, turning and crushing sound of papers is so much tempting. Fatima has always been looking for papers to play with. We dreaded that she would eat them off while play, so they were kept away from her. But now we give papers to play after observing her so much love towards them. Yes! she did try to eat them away. Under supervision, she plays with a papers for like ages.
There are some new treasures added to her treasure basket. These are little bottles and a tiny cushion. Looking forward to what else can get in..
She is joining us in family breakfast and lunches. It is great time to make her see others eating and to imitate them. She has her own little plate and few pieces of chapati (flat bread) to take her lessons. Even though she is turned 7 months old, she never really showed interest in feeding her self during her meals. So we thought she must get an opportunity to practice weaning. Chapati and other finger foods are best to work with. Other fun stuff can be Murmure (puffed rice) and different kind of breads. Puffed rice are best to work on that pincer grasp. Likewise mashed food is great to encourage sensorial stimulation. Though playing with food must be avoided there can be a little sensorial work.
Babbling continues...there are lots of sounds......dadada, mamama, bababa,nanana..... and so many others.
There was also some audio addition this week...3 tiny sound shakers, one filled with rice, second with sugar and the third one with black gram.
