Hyzyd @ 4 months...



Now that Hyzyd is 4 months, I gonna check how he's growing. I read that by this time "Babies love to check themselves out in a mirror". In fact, faces are my baby's favorite things to see right now. We tried to hold him in front of a mirror and we watched his delight. He won't understand that it's his own reflection until he's about 7 or 8 months old, but he's enjoying the view. And the motion of his hands in the mirror will capture his attention.


According to http://www.babycenter.com/ Researchers believe that my baby can now understand all the basic sounds that make up his native language. Between this time and 6 months of age, he'll develop the ability to make some of these sounds, which means I may hear the words I've been dreaming about, namely "mama" and "dada." While child development experts say it's too early for my baby to connect those sounds with me, that won't make hearing him any less exciting. I can encourage my baby's attempts at communication by mirroring or imitating his expressions and sounds. He may try to imitate me, too. If I'll say "ba" and he may try to say it back.Reacting when my baby makes noises or tries to say something will help him learn the importance of language and better understand cause and effect. It's great for his self-esteem, too: He'll begin to realize that what he says makes a difference.

Mommy Moments- Hyzyd's playing time

Aside from playing by himself , Hyzyd's fave playmates are his dad and his uncle Bjoy-my bro. He's enjoying every minute of it! Last July 4, 2008, it's Hyzyd's first time exploring the toys in TESCO play station! It isn't yet time for him to play in there for it's recommended for 1 year old and above but he's gesturing to his dad that he want to try on! What a fun he had! We bought that green elephant because the first time he saw it and try on it, he just love it. He will not let go of the poor elephant. You'll see he's riding on it while we're shopping. Head on to Mommy Moments to see other kids enjoying their playing time!

Shady Shades

Hyzyd doesn't like wearing wearing shades. The moment you'll let him wear, he'll automatically take it off...maybe he's just to young for this. I'm just glad I had taken some photos of him when he's 6 months old when our neighbor put this shade on him for the first time! The following photos were taken last week when we are playing. I let him wear my shades!...LOL! More babies with shades at Mommy Moments .

Mommy Moments-Part of the Family

I'm dragging myself from bed just to sneak in here and post my Mommy Moments entry. Oh my, I'm so sleepy . I would say that Hyzyd is so blessed to have loving uncles and aunt but the only one he knows by this time is my bro and preggy sis-in-law. They're both teachers too here in Hatyai City, Thailand. They usually spent their weekend with us because they miss my baby . I haven't yet experienced what is it to be aunt that's why I'm overly excited to meet my first niece by October ! Hyzyd was able to meet his Aunt Doxa when he was born. She's our youngest and she became an aunt at age 6. She's very happy to meet her first nephew. She came along with our parents and stay with us for almost 2 months. His aunt Doxa surely missed Hyzyd terribly . Hope they'll meet again this coming October! Join us every Friday at Mommy Moments and enjoy what it takes to be a mommy!
