Here is what is going on with Noah this week according to babycenter.com;
Your baby's now exploring objects by shaking them, banging them, dropping them, and throwing them before falling back on the tried-and-true method of gumming them. The idea that you do something to an object is beginning to emerge (using a comb to tidy her hair), so an activity center with lots of things your baby can bang, poke, twist, squeeze, shake, drop, and open will fascinate her.
Your baby will also be fascinated with toys that have specific functions, such as phones. If she can't hold it up to her ear herself, do it for her and pretend to have a conversation. Over the next few months, she'll start to use objects for their intended purposes — brushing her hair, drinking from a cup, and babbling on her play phone.
Watch for her to start pointing or looking at the correct picture when you name an object — especially if it's something familiar (such as eyes, nose, or mouth) or beloved (like a dog or a rubber ducky).
Also, at this stage, your baby likes to see things fall down, get picked up (by you, of course), and then get thrown down again. She's not trying to drive you mad. She just finds the spectacle interesting and naturally wants to see it again and again.
Noah is very mobile and gets around well on his own. He loves to wave his hand and say some version of mom, mama, or mamama over and over again. I can sometimes get him to give me a high five also. He also loves batting and slapping at objects. He loves it when we stack boxes into a tower for him and let him knock them down. In all he is still a very smiley and happy baby, but he has been a little irritable over the last week due to his lower two teeth cutting through his gums.
This week I introduced him to green beans and they seem to be going well.
