During 46th week your baby has gotten the hang of finger foods; the next step is learning to use tools. Give him/her a toddler-sized plastic spoon and some cut or mashed food and show him/her how to maneuver it into her /his mouth. Each week your baby also makes advances in communication. His/her first words may have been mama or dada.
Your baby's personality is really blossoming now. Her/his opinions are getting stronger and he/she isn't shy about expressing them. Your baby can now understand and shake his/her head no when he/she doesn't want to do something. She/he will also become excited and clap when he/she has mastered a new skill or task.
This week some babies are more active than others. Whether
your baby is too active or too slow to response, both conditions are equally thought provoking for the parents. Walking around in the house in semi-uncovered condition may increase the curiosity in your children. They might not think of anything else except to play with what they see in front of them. You have to make them realize that what is right and what is wrong. Drawing a line between dos and don’ts from this very stage will make your child understand so many different things.
