Week 39 - Your New Baby
At nine months old, babies usually range from 26.25 inches long and 16 pounds (10th percentile) to 29 inches long and 21.5 pounds (90th percentile).
Your baby no doubt knows his name and understands many words for people or objects that he loves. He also understands common gestures. For example, if you motion for him to "come here," he will probably crawl over to you without having to hear the words. Your little one is also an expert babbler (sangat.. mcm abah dia..) and probably loves to repeat one sound or series of sounds over and over.
Since your baby is probably mimicking many of your behaviors - the good as well as the bad - now's the time to think about what behaviors you'd like to change or improve in yourself before he starts following your example. For example, if you react calmly when things don't go your way, then your baby is likely to do the same. If you get upset and yell, he is likely to mirror that behavior as well. That can be a scary thought. People often wonder how they became just like their parents. Well, it all starts now.
Does your baby like to clap his hands and move to music? Rhythm and interactive games are big favorites right now. Try teaching him the finger movements to songs like "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" and "This Little Piggy Went to Market." (ibu ajar nyanyi twinkle2 little star ngan cok cok pin.. dah expert dah..hehe) Point out body parts such as your eye, nose, mouth to help him learn the words - soon your baby will be able to point to the correct body part along with you. (yer..paling pandai tunjuk tongue ..hehehe..)
