At 10 months old


From her translated medical file:
At 10 months she likes outdoor activities. She puts into mouth everything that she can get. She likes colorful toys that make sound. She can crawl for a while to get what she wants. She can stand while holding onto the rails. She can change her position easily. Now she can walk on her own, but sometimes will fall down, leaving marks on her face. She has two teeth. She likes it that the caretaker holds her. She smiles happily in the caretaker’s arms. Caretakers and the Grandma all love her. She brings happiness to SWI.

From her Chinese medical file at 10 months she can:
Motor Development: Hold her head up while lying on her stomach, roll from supine to prone position by herself, grasps toy near her hand, takes a toy block in one hand then taking another one by using her other hand, she sits alone quite steadily, she tears paper (interesting… hmmm), crawls on hands and knees, stands alone for a moment, she stands with her hand holding onto support, picks up small things like beans with her fingers, uses thumbs and index fingers deftly, and walks with one hand being held.
Adaptability: She can locate the direction of sounds/voice, visually follows moving toys, holds blocks on each hand at the same time, looks for a dropped toy, transfers a block from one hand to the other, reaches and grasps a toy beyond, takes a toy block out of the cup, puts the block into a cup, and bangs two blocks together.
Language and Sociality: Follows you with moving head from one side to the other, laughs aloud, distinguishes between acquaintance and strangers, sounds directed at someone or something, eats biscuits without help, knows name and turns when called, imitates sound, and responds to the facial expression of adults.
Personalities: She is active, found of listening to music, fond of playing with toys, has a ready smile, quick in reaction, fond of playing games, and obstinate sometimes (hmmm…).
