Hi all,
i found the following information from Dumex website. Keane knows how to say "ma" and "pa" but according to the chinese book given by my gf. "New Mummy & baby" indicated that bb only knows how to say but doesnt know the meaning of it".
keane only know to follow how i have been practicing with him since he was born..
Language : Month 5
Your baby will speak using vowels that are
interspersed with more consonants and he has more control over sounds, using a variety of tones, pitches and speeds when he talks.
He will vocalize his feelings and coo, gurgle and giggle when he is pleased, and grunt, growl or complain when he is displeased.
He blows bubbles and will begin to make new sounds, as well as repeat ka, da and ma very often. He talks to himself in the mirror although he responds to the sounds of words rather than their meaning; he may start to understand simple sentences such as Mummy is giving you a bath. He recognizes his name and will look at you when you call him.
Manipulating Objects
He loves grasping objects, having multiple objects to choose from, and shaking, throwing and dropping to discover more about them. He is fascinated by new things and is curious to see and touch everything. He loves objects that have different textures and multiple parts.
Pop up books with flaps, buttons, noises and a range of colors are great for him, as well as activity centers where he has to manipulate a button or knob to create a noise, cause something to move, pop up or play music
Water Fun
You can take your baby to swimming pool for some fun in the water when she can hold her head up steadily. Bring along her favourite rubber floatable toys. The new experiences in the water will enhance her psychomotor development. Of course, if you are not a confident swimmer, stay in shallow water.
If you cant make it to a pool, fill your bath tub with lukewarm water; sit your baby on a non-slip mat or in a baby size tub. Encourage or help her to kick her legs and splash her hands and arms in the water. You can say or sing, Splash, splash, splash. Kick, kick, kick. One, two, three. Or anything else that comes to your mind.
This will help her to strengthen her muscles, become confident in the water, and develop language skills and a sense of trust.
