Adore already know most of her body parts which I'm very proud of her growth. Most of it she can pronounced the word 'watch' with 'ch' sound which is very good at the age of hers.
Month 16
She enjoys moving objects about and banging them together,
so introduce toy musical instruments or household items she
can use to create a noise. She moves naturally to musical
rhythms and loves dancing with you.
She will take her anger out on you rather than other
adults, but responds appropriately to the emotions
you display. You can help her recognize different
emotional states and develop her self-awareness
by using a mirror to practice facial expressions.
She enjoys imitating people and will love
watching and copying your movements.
Motor Skills : Month 16
Gross Motor Skills
Your baby is testing her strength and wants to be
more independent. She will prefer to walk rather
than be pushed in a pram if she is not tired. She
will attempt to pick up, push and pull large objects
and is learning about weights and gravity and learns
to adjust her body accordingly. She will tug and
drag objects and so you may find they have moved
while you are not in the room. She can walk up the stairs
if you hold her hand and may be able to stand on one foot.
Fine Motor Skills
She will not yet be able to coordinate her hands and feet, and she lacks agility in her wrists. Her skill at building towers with blocks and objects continues to develop and she can climb a three-step ladder.
Language : Month 16
She will hold long conversations with you and you will be able to
understand several words. She is more precise in imitating and
she can combine several different words within a sentence.
She understands more words than she can vocalize, but her
uptake is still very slow. She now uses language more than
gestures to tell you what she wants.
Emotion : Month 16
When your baby is frustrated she may show anger towards you and
hit out, but she is unlikely to do this to strangers because she trusts
that you won’t hit her back. She responds appropriately to your
emotions and the tones of your voice. She is much more social,
likes to be played with and adapts better to unfamiliar people.
She is enthralled by taking things and finds the concept of giving
more difficult to master. She may be scared and startled because
of the loud noises of thunder and lightning so give her lots of cuddles
and make her feel secure during a storm. She may also be afraid of
large animals such as dogs and horses. She wants to be independent
and also to control other people, and so she may be stubborn, negative
or forceful if she doesn’t get her own way.
Learning : Month 16
She imitates adult behavior such as reading the
newspaper, and doing the housework. She can do
simple household chores, helps put her toys away,
takes off her shoes, and imitates your gestures, like
blowing on food when it is hot.
She can turn on a tap so you need to watch that she
doesn’t leave it running. She is still very curious and will open bags and unwrap
packages. She is more skillful using her hands and her scribbles are more controlled.
What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 16
She enjoys picking up objects, pushing them and moving them from
one place to another. She likes playing “hide and seek” and to play
with sand in a sandbox.
She loves it when you pay her attention and she will perform
for you, copying your actions and getting you to laugh and
giggle with her. She likes hitting objects and enjoys
hammering and banging. She is fascinated with water
and loves to pour it into containers and empty them again,
as well as to splash about.
How Can You Help : Month 16
Set up a small paddling pool containing water that
she can play in.
Give her a plastic hammer that makes a squeaky noise when she hits objects – she will go around hitting everything (including you).
Let her play with old cardboard boxes that she can use to hide in and climb in and out of.
Repeat words to her and use gestures so that she builds her understanding.
Let her help with simple housework and be responsible for her possessions.
Keep up regular activities that she looks forward to such as bedtime stories and a daily walk outside.
Play “tug o’ war” with her using objects or a small piece of rope and let her win to build her confidence.
Play interactive games that require her to recognize an object or a spoken word.
Make her feel secure when she is outside and comes across unfamiliar animals or those that are larger than her.
Give her a toy ladder that she can practice climbing up and down, or make up games using stairs or steps in your house, such as clapping together on each step, or saying a new word each time she takes a step.
