Health and Safety

Time to make sure those immunizations are current.

If you haven't done it by now, get down and crawl around to make sure everything that baby can get into and be harmed by is out of reach.

Games babies play:  Playing is learning

Creeping or crawling to discover the "world"

Listening to music and other sounds

Watching facial expressions and trying to imitate

Advice: Keep doing what you have done before, reading, talking to the baby and letting them watch what you do (i.e. praying, reading Qur'an etc.).  Children are very touch oriented so don't hesitate to hold your baby as they gain reassurance from your presence but also allow them to have some time for self as this will teach them how to be independent.
