1. Chara is just beginning to understand many simple words and phrases, so Ma thinks it's more important than ever to keep talking to her.Though it may sometimes feel silly,having conversations with her is a great way to encourage her language skills.For example,when she rattles off a sentence of gibberish,respond with "Oh, really?"or "Sounano?Sounanda..".She'll probably smile and keep chattering away.
2. Also,it seems that Chara can now understands simple instructions,though she may purposely choose to ignore Ma when she says "No!" or "Dame!".Well,I think it's not too soon to set certain boundaries and start teaching her some important distinctions, like right from wrong and safe from unsafe;)
3. We also sing songs or nursery rhymes,demonstrate actions that go with words (saying "bye-bye" and waving,for instance), and play games,like those featured on the television programmes(Inai-Inai-Ba or even TeleTubbies),so she learns to identify key words and phrases.
4. Her fingers are becoming more agile and she is able to pick up small objects between her thumb and forefinger.She's intrigued by tiny things and is still likely to taste-test them!:P
5. She can sit confidently and may even walk while holding onto furniture,possibly letting go momentarily and standing without support.She'll also take steps when held in a walking position and may attempt to scoop up a toy while she's standing, too.Meanwhile,she may walk while gripping our hands,and she'll hold out her arm or leg to help us dress her.

6. Surprisingly,Chara has also started to make the connections.Before long, she'll be clapping her hands together when we do and may begin to say "MaMa" when she's looking at Ma,"PaPa" when Pa comes into the room or comes back from work,and she'll look at me when Ma says "Abang":)
