Your little bundle of Joy will start interacting with you this month. She will hold her head steady, do mini pushups even may rollover.
It is time to make her stronger for future milestones. Let’s play elevator fun with her.
Game 1: Busy Fingers
Purpose: To build eye and hand coordination
Baby is just discovering her body, especially her hands. She should be spending time looking at and playing with her fingers and hands.
She also will be starting to play with hands and fingers in the center of her body. Putting her hands or toys in her mouth is typical at this age.
Be sure toys are age-appropriate and big enough to not cause choking. Helps baby learn how to use hands and eyes together when exploring their surroundings.
Game 2: Texture Time
Purpose: To develop sensory skills
To develop baby new sensory experience, you must give baby the different things with both smooth and bumpy textures.
Game 3: Roll Baby Roll
Purpose: To learn crawling
After six months, rolling is an important thing for babies. Lay next to your baby and place him on the side. Give support to your baby’s back with a rolled-up baby blanket.
Laugh and talk with baby and soon baby will stretch and try to roll. Encourage your baby with a clap when he rolls.
Again, roll him back and engage in continuous rolling. It helps the baby to strengthen the core muscles and prepare for crawling and sitting in the near future.
