My baby love, daughter Sam is now in transition from caring no one is around her or not, not likes to be with someone/everybody in the house. She gets irritated or crying when she cannot see me or anyone near her, most especially if you are playing with her then later you will go somewhere like to the comfort to pee or so, she cries. I found that cute and funny at times. Sometimes it is trouble since I have to tag her along wherever I am like in front of stove to boil water to warm her milk at the same time making her milk or to the comfort room. Nevertheless, she is a darling and I am complaining or minding of tagging her along with me everywhere as long as she is comfortable. Never mind my needs as long as she hers first. She is helpless without me, on the other hand, I can do everything like walking and alike, but not my Sam. An infant has just a low immune system. So I have to attain her needs or even her wants first than my needs.
She laughs and smiles a lot so that's a very big bonus to me. She never gets wary to anybody. But of course, infant should need to be away from the crowd most of the times, again, that is because infants have low immune system.
So that's it, that's one of my/her journey this week of being a mommy to a very darling living doll of mine, my baby love daughter Sam. :-) Have a great day! :-)
It has been said that very young children are like sponges. During the first five years of life, a child's brain will grow more than at any other time. These early years are when children take in their surroundings, learning as much as they possibly can from the world around them. Every situation and experience that a young child has is an opportunity for him/her to learn. However, children still need guidance and direction when it comes to learning. Here are some tips on how parents can teach their children to talk.
1. The Environment
One of the most important tips in teaching a child to talk is providing the right environment for the child to learn. An environment where the child is exposed to a great deal of language such as talking, singing and reading to the child, will go a long way in getting the child to understand the importance of language and communication and, thus, to mimic its components. A child's environment also includes things such as regular check-ups with the pediatrician to make sure developmental milestones are being met, as well as adequate amounts of sleep and a healthy diet. When a child is well rested, he/she will be more attentive during learning times. A healthy diet will not only help the child to feel his/her best, but through eating and chewing foods with different textures, the child becomes better aware of how to control the muscles in the mouth.
2. Talk like a Child
Talking to the child is the next tip in enhancing language development. When a parent talks to a child, it is important that the parent speaks on the child's level. Young toddlers are better able to understand simple sentences or a few words, as opposed to more complex sentences. A child will also be more likely to listen and respond when talking about a subject that interests him/her. Parents may also find that certain times of the day are better to engage a child than others.
3. Read Aloud
Reading aloud to a child from infancy is also a way to get the child used to language. Some mothers-to-be start to read or sing to their unborn babies during pregnancy. Whether reading aloud the newspaper or talking to a baby while doing laundry, the child is being exposed to language on a daily basis.
4. Be Positive
Positive reinforcement is important when trying to teach children anything new. When a child starts to babble and make new sounds, it is always a good idea to reinforce this behavior with encouragement. If the baby sees that this behavior is pleasing the parent, he/she will be more willing to continue making new sounds.
5. Be Repetitive
Children learn through repetition. Playing games with the baby, using flashcards and forming routines when trying to teach language are a good way to teach a child language skills. The child will get used to the repetition of the same words, phrases and routines on a daily basis.
6. Explain The Meaning
The final tip for teaching a child to talk is to use appropriate words when conversing with the child. If a child says "baba", respond to the child using the word " bottle" instead. Children may also use one term to refer to many similar things. It is important to explain the meaning of each different word. Soon, the child will start to differentiate on his/her own.
The most important part of teaching a child to speak is to talk to him/her. The more the child is exposed to language, the more he/she will mimic the behavior on his/her own.

Everyday I see my daughter Sam growing, yes, she grows-up fast. I can't thank enough I am a homemaker. In this way as I am her own caregiver, I can see her every moves and developments as well as her weaknesses and lift her way up. She is just a sweetie. She gives me no headache when it comes to taking care of her. Many said I am so lucky to have her, and yes, I am!
Now that she's about a third quarter of a year old, she already knows how to say "mmmommmmy", "mmmmomma". I bet my DH is jealous with that. Ha! Hopefully soon she could also say "dada" or "daddy" so her daddy (my DH) won't get jealous. *wink*
When it is silent, no music, TV or anything, just me typing in a computer, she mumbles loud anything she can which is a sign of eagerness to talk. She's even imitating me when I say "huh".. hehe! So cutie my patotie. :-) I can't wait the time that she's imitating everything I say. Ah, having a child really makes difference. We just love her that much. :-) She's a darling.
When mommy/ies and everyone wants to know about a certain place, we often browse through books or travel magazines, or go online and visit different websites to get the information we need in our plan for travel journey. Although reading about them provides us with an idea of what these places are, being able to visit them is a whole new experience. Traveling has provided people with a whole new perspective of the world. Being able to visit a place and see all its different unique tourist spots, is more beneficial than just seeing their photos at books and magazines. Traveling also enhances a person’s communication skills. Although being fluent in a certain language is not required, the ability of being able to communicate t locals will make their travel experience more fruitful.
There are various
travel destinations that we can choose from. It really depends on what we want to do or experience during our trip. Family friendly destinations, such as those that have theme parks, are ideal for families who want to travel together. More adventurous travelers can go to places that may not have the usual comforts.
First time travelers should make sure that they make all the necessary preparations before their actual trip. Aside from booking for their flight and accommodations in advance, they should make sure that they research all the essential information about the place that they’re visiting so that they will know what to expect. They should also know if there are certain things that are prohibited in the place that they’re going to. In some places, for instance, wearing clothes that are considered ‘immodest’ according to the country’s culture are not allowed. When a travel takes notes of such things, he will surely have a memorable travel experience.
