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.

Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith . I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah . Each of our names has corresponding meanings. Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan ...

Hyzyd and the Berenstains' Bears

Hyzyd got new favorites week after week. Most of his favorites involves books. He's not really into toys and movies but books! This week he's into a new book titled "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Red Kite". Guess who's his favorite reader? His dad! He won't let me read it to him. Poor mommy!:( On the other, I'm quite relieved because Hyzyd is giving his dad a hard task...he..he...He won't let his dad go over to other pages. He wanted his dad to create stories after stories out from this illustration for as long as 30 minutes! LOL! I also enjoy the stories made up by his dad- stories that came from "out-of-nowhere". can you help us make more more stories out from this illustration?
