Okay, so I have been trying at least 5x a day for the past 3 months to teach my daughter how to clap and guess who surprised me today when she started trying??? HER! I was soooo happy! First she started trying to clap one hand and not move the other, than watched me do it a few times as I repeated "Clap Clap Clap!" every time I clapped. She the proceeded to copy me (still kinda with one hand) :) It's nice to see how me as a mother, can really teach my daughter. She's been teaching herself for months with really no help from me, this is the first thing I can think of that I know I did. It's a fulfilling thought!
Zeraea also tried some banana today! She loved the taste of it but then Daddy let her get a piece in her mouth and she spit it out. It was cute, she loved sucking on some canalope too. When we first started feeding her solids when she was 4 months, she loved it. Now lately she hasn't been eating any so as her parents, we decided that we might wait a couple of weeks and try the whole solid thing again!
Isn't it wonderful when they do the things we have taught them?! It is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe feeding does take time. Sometimes they are for it & sometimes not. We waited until my son was 6 months before introducing solids. He had colic and a sensitive tummy so our doctor told us to wait. We started with rice cereals first!
Just popping over from Bloggy Moms. Oh what a cutie you have there! I'll bet you squealed when she clapped. I remember when my daughter did that.
