Babies at 9 Months

Today, Chico is 9 months old. Yes, we do have some spaghetti for the day, you know the tale when they says you need to at least cook something special every month.. thanking that the baby is healthy.

Chico is having some separation anxiety now, which is very normal at his age. He never likes it when Mommy is out of sight. During sleep time, he only knows Mommy. I can’t even cook with out him crying or crawling to me. Now this would be little harder for me, I can not leave him without him wailing like a siren. Aside from that, he already know how to use the angry tone. Just a while ago as I am finishing some post here, he cried and screamed at me.. he is growing up faster. I am also amazed that he is now aware of object permanence. Like hide and seek.. he loves playing peek a boo. And even i I put the remote under the pillow, he knows how to find it.. such a smart baby.

I also observed that he understands more now. He knows that there are things he is not allowed to. He cannot chew on papers, he should not climb on the sofa and he should not chew on the bed frame or remote control. And every time he had the chance to do those things, he giggles so hard. I really find him adorable when he does that. Instead of me getting angry at him, I just end up laughing with his naughtiness.. I cannot say no to his smile and laughs.. and now he knows ho to use it against me..

Physically, he now cruises around the house. I would start typing an article and Chico is playing on the mat, the next thing I knew, he is beside me or under the dinning table. He also can stand alone for a time( 2 to 5 seconds). He is a very active baby.

He also enjoys clapping his hands or slapping anything with it.. I am glad I bought this toy, he is now very fond of it.

The only ting I am worried about is his speech development, he seems late on his age. he can”t even say mama or dada.. just plain babababab bababa.. I wish he could at least mumble mama.. but I know he tries sometimes.. he even imitates my mouth when I am speaking. But he tries as much to communicate, specially with Daddy. He likes to chat with Daddy. I don’t hwy but he is very animated when he and daddy talks. It was as if he is telling something very exciting to Daddy (or maybe he just know that Daddy will buy him a lot of toys)
