the doctor checking
We took our baby to the doctor for his last HIB immunization. We have to go to his Pediatrician for his immunization as well for his monthly check-up. When the doctor starts to check him, he cried, perhaps he already had associated the doctor to pain. I and my husband take turns to calm him but he still kept on crying. He doesn’t want to be laid down on the bed perhaps he already knew that pain will come next once he is laid down. He cried and cried until his doctor finished checking and injecting him with the vaccine.

Besides being an amusing and engrossing hobby, collecting is a very educational activity. While collecting all kinds of things, the child learns a great deal about his world. It sharpens his curiosity. He learns similarities and differences and increases his scientific store of knowledge.
Children Collection
The collection could be of anything – colored stones, seashells, seeds, pictures from magazines, pressed flowers or leaves – whatever takes his fancy. He could start his collection during outing.
Give your child a box or a drawer where he can keep his collection. Ask him to sort out and arrange the items according to size or color or shape, etc., and perhaps to “catalogue” them by drawing the items he has gathered in a small notebook.
Talk to him about his collection – what makes the pieces the same and/or different, whether there are special features, where and how he found them.

The baby’s range of sounds and facial expressions continues to grow, with lots of babbling, squealing, smiling, and laughing — which may mean less time for crying. This is also an age of imitating sounds, which are first attempts at speaking.
Trying to imitate sounds
At the age of seven months, my baby at this age began to experiment with the sounds he could make with his mouth, using saliva as an important tool. My baby also makes more effort to emulate sounds and fritter more time babbling. Make no mistake, this is baby’s early endeavor at talking and should be convinced as much as possible. If we pay attention closely, we’ll hear my baby’s voice heave and slump as if asking a question or making a statement. Our baby is just now starting to comprehend the basics of communication through words. Now, our baby’s beginning to pick out the words of your saying and can hear and know the different sounds that we formulate and the way words form sentences.
Babies may also try coughing to get parental attention at this age just like our baby does. Rather than punishing our baby for this, we give extra attention once the coughing or fussing has stopped. This is the age when our babies are able to reflect our emotional state, which is the beginning of true communication.

1, 2, 3 smile Baby…catching attention
He has improved a lot and he has mastered things that he does everyday. He can now straighten his back and twist her trunk as he sit. He has the ability to ease to sit for longer periods of play. I talk to him straight and he looks at me. He love to drink water and on meal time he already understands when we tempt him with water. Little by little He understands the game that initiate in his finger play. He now grabs things and plays with them. He now knows how to demonstrate sign languages like waving good-bye. He crawls most of the time and makes some attempts to stand by grabbing secure thing for his support. He tries to get what he wants and he finds ways to get there. He mumbles a lot more and catches anybody’s attention by calling using some sort of sound. He gets amaze by unfamiliar sounds and look everywhere to find where it came from. He smiles to familiar people and people who try to play with him. He smiles with glee every time he sees his father arriving from work.

Seeing baby’s new trick as sign of their development is every parent’s treasure of happiness. Especially for mothers who are always at their side to guide. When we notice improvements of the act they initiate, we then know that they are at the right track. It will be pride knowing that our child is doing well.
My little boy is just seven month old and he is showing a lot of improvements. In my assessment he by far developed much compare to his peers. He starts mumbling when he was five months old, he seems to talk by himself and talk to us like we understand a word he says. Our neighbor’s baby who is two months older starts mumbling at about the same time when my baby does.
Lately, I notice him doing things that I am teaching him everyday like playing “close open” with both hands. Two days ago he caught my attention when he claps on his own without me motivating him to do so. Clapping is just one thing that I teach him everyday. He amused me when he shows frustration every time his palms don’t meet. He kept on trying until he perfects some attempts. I didn’t expect that he can make it at his age because he has these little friends, who are at their ninth month yet still not capable of doing so not even” close open” tricks.

strong enough to crawl
Mother knows best for their little ones. All mother wanted that their child will be refined person when they mature. We teach them to do some things that are manageable in their age. We keep them motivated to achieve something; to buildup their self-confidence and to be an independent person someday.
As of the moment while my baby is still at his seventh month I am giving him some degree of freedom like allowing him to get or grab something that attracts him but of course with my supervision. I also play some games with him and bring him along when going out with our friends. At his age he already mumbles and crawls so I allow him to talk and crawl alone.
Take a walk
I had observed this many times to my friend who has a one year one baby. She teaches her child to be independent. She gives instructions and she’s just right there to monitor her child’s activity. She allows her child to walk alone, to dress up with her little ways. When taking a bath, she’s just right there to watch her child. In the table, she sits by the side of her child just to assist in getting foods to the mouth. She teaches her child in choosing some things. In little way, she educates her child to make their own decision.

Well, as early as soon, mother should teach their child to be independent. So when they grow they already are amplified with their confidence. In a way, they can make decisions on their own.

Parents shouldn’t wait for their child’s first teeth to emerge before caring for their infant’s oral health. In fact, say experts, dental care should begin shortly after birth. “People usually think that a newborn has no teeth, but the twenty primary teeth that will erupt in the first two and a half years are already present at birth,” says pediatric dentist Steven Perlman.
The most important contribution to oral health, says Perlman, is keeping the infant’s mouth clean. After each feeding, parents should wipe out thier baby’s mouth with a soft, damp washcloth or gauze pad. This can help remove plaque that can build up on the infant’s gums.

seventh month
My little boy has turned seven months old. At this age we started disciplining him. It seems hard because he seem not to understand a word we’re saying. At this age, the baby can do what they want to do. He can recognize voice. He laughs every time we tickle him and play pick-a-boo with him. He listens to music and every time he hears a somewhat unusual sound he looks around to find where the sound came from. He starts playing at some object that attracts him. Television catches his attention as well. When the TV is on, he stops from playing and focus at the television for a minute or two eyes wide open.
I know my baby grow day after day. He shows some thing different everyday. He loves to sing especially when its time to go to bed. We don’t sing him lullaby instead he sings for himself his lullaby until he gets to sleep. He is responsive with some finger works like waving goodbye and playing close-open on his fingers. We made counting 1 to 10 familiar to him. So when we hold his hands and count 1 to 10 he behaves and point out his pointer finger. He started to claps his hands not so perfect but he can do it and pull and grab anything. He can sit up for a moment without support. When given support to standing position he jumps and jumps or bounced up and down. He moves around our bed going in circle as much as he wants. And now, he crawls perfectly.
I and my husband are so glad that our little one is learning. We perceive his development everyday and we’re just so amused at whatever we discover our little boy is doing.
Mothers should be very vigilant with their little ones at this age because babies are now very active and they pretty much swallow anything their hands grabs.

Mothers needs time to relax after a long day work at home in preparing food, washing the dishes, washing clothes, ironing and from all the chores. Sometimes we are expecting recognition from our children and from our husband to be at least comforted. Or recreate ourselves like going shopping or treating ourselves by buying something for ourselves and eat out in the restaurant or go to a beauty saloon.
One day I realize that my time was drain to my family and my husband noticed that. My husband thought that I may have got bored because I never had time to go out. My husband advises that I need time to relax to go shopping or to beauty salon to fix my hair, or something with myself. I was so pleased and was so happy. I was a happy camper then. I know I am pleased in serving my family. This is my happiness to give my time, love, care and my vividly attention. They are my life. My day is complete when I see them in good spirit.
