The experts say that a good physical program is vital for the development of the baby’s brain. Last night I did a little physical stimulation exercise with Baby C, which she always seems to enjoy. She’s another samseng, just like her 2 cheh cheh when they were her age.
First, I let her crawl on cheh cheh’s queen size mattress on the floor, whilst I blew dry my hair after my bath. Aly and Sher cheh cheh were playing jig saw puzzle on the floor ….
then I held both her feet and put her upside down and swung her left and right like a pendulum, which she actually likes, surprisingly….
BTW, Alycia snapped this pic, not bad eh?
then I rolled her on her sides, like a log….
put her on the bolster, arched her back and rolled her….
let her crawl till the edge of the mattress and tell / show her what height is.
Baby C seems to know that she will fall upon reaching the edge of the mattress and will normally stop there, waiting for me…. She loves those colorful stickers on the mirror and always crawls towards the mirror to touch those stickers….
As she reached the edge of the mattress, she slowed down, kept looking at the floor. When I put her hands on the floor, with her legs still on the bed, she fussed a little….
then whined a little……
But she loved all the physical stimulation exercises and cried when I put her back into her crib.
No. of times viewed = 432
it is a good exercise to stimulate her development…
Thats very good exercise for baby. Isn’t it she is cute when both her hand off the floor.
I have a rose award for you here – http://judychow.blogspot.com/2008/10/rose-award.html
baby C looks like sherilyn in the last photo! 🙂
Next time I will do this to my baby also 😀
This is something new to me. I’ll give it a try with Elyssa. I think baby C and Elyssa are born just a couple of days apart!
Btw, I’ve just added the bloglist to my blog, and have added your URL. 🙂
Great wrkout for Cassandra’s brain..smthing like Glenn Dorman’s concept that we use to stimulate those special children. BTW I love those tricky mirror stickers.
ooo…you are good. should open a class to teach parents about stuff like this 😉
Shireen, are you following the book ‘how to teach your baby to be physically superb’ by Glenn Doman? I’ve the book and read it last time. The book has many other stimulation exercises for baby. Go and try it out with baby C.
good exercise. i never do this when my kids were baby.
HAHAHAh…I leave my No.3 to buat sendiri. He tumbled out of the mattress so many times… carpeted mah…so, I think he’s used to falling off!
shireen, when i saw the photo of you swinging baby c, i thot it was one of her jeh jeh doing that to her and i inhaled a deep breath with my mouth opened! hak sei ngor!!
ok, so it was u doing some physical stimulation.. but wont she get awake if u do it at nite?
its something new to me on the swinging part..hehe
She’s as active as her mummy – good on her 🙂
looks like she enjoys her exercise eh. my hubby also likes to do the pendulum thingy, even the kids are so big now 😐
