I mitt eget paradis

August 6 th 2011 was Baby E:s first birhday party ever. We had cake and icecream.
He got lots of presents! I can only show you some of them.

He got books, a cd, clothes, money, toys and a jigzaw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today it is a huge day. Baby E is turning one! Has it already gone a year? It feels like it was yesterday I came home with a baby boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. Now, he can walk on his own, he can say mamma (mommy) and "a de" wich means "what is that?". I guess he ask that because we always ask him that and points at stuff. Im sure ha ask us many things, and tells us many things but we dont understand him.

My cute baby is not a baby anymore. He is a boy. With long blonde hair and blue eyes. When he wakes up in the morning and I come into the room, a biig smile on his face.

Talking up a storm

Words and wordlike sounds are now spilling out of your baby, and he's able to use them meaningfully. As his brain continues to develop, so does his ability to reason and speak.

Encourage his interest in language and his understanding of two-way communication by being an avid listener and responding to his sounds. To polish his memory skills, play games like patty-cake and peek-a-boo.

At this age, your baby can probably imitate word sounds and inflections. He may be able to follow simple one-step directions, such as "Please bring me the ball" or "Pick up the spoon." Help him learn by separating multistep commands into easy-to-follow single steps, reinforcing them with gestures.

Remember to cherish this brief but remarkable period when your baby's communication skills are emerging: They're perhaps his most important skill!
