Tenth-Month Old

Our baby has just turned ten months old yesterday. At this stage he has already quite a lot of milestone developments. He:

1) claps every time he's doing something that amuses him - like when he watches several favorite segments of Brainy Baby, when he watches Itsy Bitsy Spider of Supersimple learning songs or when he's really happy of any activity he sees.

2) does Close-Open his hands at times when you provoke him. Now we're trying to develop him doing Ba-bye actions.

3) can stand for a few seconds on his own confident that he can hold on anytime to the side of his crib whenever he feels like falling. Also, he attempts several instances in crossing crosswise distance of his crib. There's a probability that he might be able to walk on his own already when he'll celebrate his first birthday.

4) he can now really sit on his own without support but dives automatically  to any pillows or stuff toys whenever he feels tired or sleepy. Hence, he better do this on our mattress for a better cushion or else he'll end up hurting himself.

5) can be entertained easily or be amused to any funny acts you do in front of him and pays you a very infectious laughter. In other words, he's now very playful.

6) really now loves to do walking (of course) with an aid than by just putting him inside his walker. Letting him do his walking is I think gives him the liberty to go to areas he can't reach compared to when he's in walker, just like climbing up and down our stairs. The cons? the aid of his wobbly walking ends up having a back ache and perspires more than him.

7) loves to seriously scrutinize any new things around - like our t.v. or dvd remote controls (the funny thing we noticed is that whenever he gets hold of it, he would hold it in front of him as if he's pointing it onto something just like exactly using it), like his Kuya Josh's toy cars (he loves to spin the wheels), also like his Kuya Josh's blade (like that of kasing) toy et al. In short, there's that much curiosity in him now.

8) imitates playing POGS.

9) loves to answer our landline phone. Then looks at the ear piece part after listening to the voice of the caller.

He is certainly learning new things and gradually having lots of milestone developments but the sad part of his now being a ten-month old baby is his not vanishing constipation. He's still having it. It's really a pity showing him slightly raising his other leg in an attempt to release his waste only to produce a tiny (size smaller than that of a Chicos seed) feces. He's already regularly taking Lactulose lilac as a laxative but still not giving him a promising result. Maybe it has got to do with his milk? Now we'll have him Enfapro instead of Similac HW or Nan HW. Hopefully, this will vanquish his plight.
