Grayson rushed over to his dad and gave him a big hug. After a long day without seeing has dad the child seemed very happy once he got home. Grayson then starts saying he is hungry so he walks over to the refrigerator with his dad and through his dad’s suggestion Grayson decided on having a hotdog. While he was waiting for his hotdog Grayson climbed over the kitchen gate and into the living room. He roamed around the living room for about a minute and then climbed back over the gate and into the kitchen area but while doing so he actually fell on his butt this time.
For this assignment I chose to observe a eight month old baby boy for one hour. The baby is crawling without his belly touching the floor, babbling a lot and trying to communicate back to mom, he is also puling himself up to a standing position while holding onto something. The baby eats baby food but is also staring to eat more solid food that he has to chew, such as teething biscuits. The baby is fairly social with people but is beginning to be afraid of strangers. He liked to explore all the places he should stay out of and get things that he was not supposed to have.
And he skidded into the back of a passing truck, and that was it. He wasn’t wearing his helmet. He said it made him look like a “doofus.” And not looking like a doofus was pretty important to Mick, actually. It’s not that he’s conceited. It’s just that when he was eight, my mom made the mistake of showing him his christening gown, and he never really got over it.
Being that the ball was bigger than his hand, it was a bit difficult to fully grasp, so as he threw it, it was at a 45-degree angle with some control. 3. Describe how the toddler picks up toys from the floor. Indicate the type of grasp the child uses Jack used the palmar grasp to pick up objects such as blocks and squishy balls from the floor. Throughout the observation, he picked up many objects such as the peach squishy ball that he threw and blocks that he handed to his mother or put away in the bucket.
Even at a young age, Jeff was an innovator always trying to change his world. Once, he found a screwdriver and took his crib apart because he felt he was too old to sleep in one. Instead of getting upset with Jeff, his family encouraged his creativity. Jeff’s grandfather once bought him an electronics kit in which he used to make all kinds of things including an alarm that would go off if one of his siblings tried entering his room. When he was twelve, Jeff was fascinated by infinity cubes, but they were too costly for his mother to buy him one.
Lucymar Dominguez HMNS-2100 Child Development Infant Observation Observation Date: 10/6/2014 Center: Connecting for Children & Families Head Teacher: Jillian Pare 1. Observed Child On Monday, October 6, I had a chance to observe carefully an infant for about an hour at Connecting for Children & Families. The infant, Manuel Ortiz is a healthy, playful boy, but he also seems to be very quiet. Manuel appears to be Hispanic. He is 18 months old, 32" tall and weighs about 24 lbs with black hair, dark brown eyes and tanned skin.
His arrival each morning is very stressful and he experiences difficulty separating from his mother. His floppy teddy bear (cuddly) is used as a transition object for settling into the centre as well as at rest time. Carla the caregiver, has noticed that both Max and Jesse have not formed a strong friendship with any other children, and as they are neighbours and know each other she fosters a relationship between them. Max and Jesse seem to hit it off and both enjoy playing active games which involve running, jumping and climbing both inside and outside. Whilst they enjoy rough and tumble play they limit their interactions to each other and make little attempt to include others in the play.
Another thing that caught my attention is that even though their speech wasn't fully developed, the children attempted to communicate with the adults numerous times. Towards the end of my observation the parents had arrived. Ricardo and Dalila both reacted similar to when the caregivers gave them attention. Ricardo for example dropped a book he had when he heard his mother's voice. He dropped the toy and crawled rapidly towards the mother.

Babies at this age can engage in a regular back-and-forth conversation. The elder children in the daycare started their morning circle time around 9:30am while Lukas just finished his first formula bottle and he was crawling around the room and exploring new toys. Lukas was very happy and active in the playroom. He can sit up without support and pull himself up around the train table. He walked two or three steps holding onto the table.
