Your One YearOlds Development

by Adwina Jackson

The first birthday is always exciting to celebrate. If youre a new parent, this event always lingers in your mind and you just probably cant wait to invite your families and friends to have fun in the extraordinary occasion.

Day after day, youve seen them growing bigger and smarter. Each time theyre able to reach the next developmental stage, you and your spouse are indulged in great happiness.

One of the most cheering moments about this is when you see them make their first steps alone. Youll get into the unspoken emotion just like other parents do.

However, some of you perhaps havent been going through this feeling as your one year-old baby isnt able to walk yet. Actually, you shouldnt be worried about this. Each child is unique and has a different development from the others.

Then, what things babies can do when they reach their first year of life? Generally, here they are:

1. Take their first steps alone - Once you see them walking, youll be surprised on how far they can walk without your hand on theirs guiding. Sometimes they tiptoe, and its exactly a funny and incredible thing you shouldnt miss out. Get a camera to capture the moment!

2. Say mama, papa, dada - Encourage your babies to talk by always talking, too. Most babies can say the three words mentioned when theyre one year-old, even though they probably dont understand the meaning of them yet.

3. Understand simple instructions - Its exciting to see your babies understand what you want them to do. When you say bye-bye, they will abruptly move their hands and make the bye-bye gesture. Or, when you tell them to look at you or your spouse, for example wheres Daddy?, theyll move their head and look into their daddys eyes. Of course you need to stimulate them over and over to make them recognize which one is which.

4. Point at things theyre interested in - Your babies will point at objects theyre fond of. Theyll also say ooh while pointing, making the target precise.

5. Move their hands and body rhythmically to a music played - Some babies begin to dance between the ages of 7-10 months-old. Whenever they listen to music, especially the one that they love, youll grin as you see their hands and body flourishing along the tune.

If your babies dont do the things above, again, no need to worry. Theyll reach the stage in several weeks or months. Develop the bonds of love between the two of you.

Enjoy the moments you all have together with the kids. Happy first birthday to your babies!
