can't believe she's already 9 months!


hmmm, haven't done this milestone thingy for a while.

taken from here:

- Your baby now can pull himself up to a standing position from sitting down.
check! ashley managed to master this since she was about 7 months old.

- He can stand while holding on to someone or something.
check! she's forever doing this. but she's not that steady so we have to stand behind her in case she knocks her head.

- Baby uses the "pincer grasp" holding tiny objects between his thumb and forefinger.
check! tested it with a few almonds sometime back. :-)

- He can walk while holding onto furniture.
check! she "walks" while holding onto her cot.

- Baby drinks from a cup.
not yet!!! we didn't let her practise drinking from a straw often enough. hmmm, i guess we need to let her drink from the cup more often.

- He can stand alone for a few seconds or perhaps longer.
well, i think the record i've seen is like two seconds?

- Baby says "mama" or "dada."
check! she started with "papa" at about 7 months. now it's "mama", "dada", "mehmeh", and some other strange sounds, heh!

- He understands the meaning of "no."
i should think so, but not too certain.

- Baby responds to simple commands (such as "Give Mommy the toy").
check! she responds to "ashley, clap your hands" and "ashley, where are your ears?", including the mandarin version.

well, i guess she's doing fine, just got to be more mindful and start training her to use a cup!
