How your baby's growing
Babies love to be touched. In fact, they thrive on it – it's a critical part of growth and development. Skin-to-skin contact not only helps you and your baby bond, but is comforting when she's upset and soothing when she's irritable (betul ni. i had once touch her naked and me, well, sort of bare skin. and she is so happy. her eyes are actually glittering with happiness). Develop your baby's sense of touch with a variety of materials – such as fake fur, felt and terrycloth (hm, this one? i gave her to touch my handbag, she likes it too. and sometimes i give her my hands. just to bond with her. God, the feeling, you'll know when you touch one). Your baby will probably try to eat the fabric, so choose carefully. Don't leave her alone with anything that could come apart in her mouth. And look for books that make reading a tactile experience (oh, she has a small book made by a cloth given by Kak Seb. it's so cute and she likes to hear the bell on it when i swing it in front of her. she cant read. at the moment. haha).
Two fun games to play with your baby this week.
Different drums
It's quite a thrill (for her, at least!) when your baby reaches the clattering and banging age. Seeing that one thump of her fist can make a satisfying whomp is a powerful affirmation that actions can get results. Make it a fun and noisy time by giving her a range of high and low notes to aim for.
Skills developed: hearing, sense of rhythm, sense of cause and effect
What you'll need: empty ice-cream tubs or other containers with flexible cardboard or plastic lids; cling film.
Make a few drums with different sounds so your baby can hear the difference between deeper and shallower tones. Turn any can or round-shaped container into a drum by stretching several layers of strong plastic wrap or a piece of thick paper over the top and taping it down. Or, even easier, use containers that already have drummable lids, such as lunchboxes, chocolate tins or cornflour/custard/cocoa canisters. Tape the different drums together with duct- or parcel-tape to make a drum set. Sit on the ground with your baby propped up between your legs. Place the drums in front of your baby. Demonstrate how to tap the drums with your palms, fingers, and the heel of your hand. You might even try a little human beat-box to demonstrate different rhythms as you play.
Variation: if your baby can grasp with her hands, try making homemade drumsticks too. Chopsticks are ideal, but wrapped pencils will do just fine. Use some cotton or tissue paper and wad it around the ends of the sticks, then wrap it up in masking tape. Show your baby how to tap the drumsticks on both the tops and sides of the drums. Pretty soon you'll have your own rhythm section going.
Kicking back
As your baby becomes more mobile, kicking is one of his favourite ways to exercise his restless limbs. And kicking in water - and feeling the water splash - is a wonderfully wet lesson in cause and effect.
Skills developed: gross motor, sense of cause and effect
What you'll need: a bath. Fill the bath or a small baby bath with four to six inches (10-15cm) of water - no more. Lie your baby down in the water on his back, resting your hand under his head to keep the water out of his ears and, even more importantly, his face out of the water. Most babies love the stimulation of the water and start kicking their legs delightedly. The more they kick, the higher the splashes. So as soon as he discovers that it's his legs that are causing all the splashing - watch out!
