I just wonder how are your 10.5 mos old eating habit and daily activites. Just wanna know if there is anything i can do more to spice up his life.


6am 6-7oz

playtime 6am -8am
crawling, learning to stand hold on sofa,pull-up fm cot or hold on to me

8am NAP time for 1/2 hr to 45rmins


1030 - 11am wakes up play a little,

11am rice cereal w/ fruits or congee w/ veg & proteins.

11am - 2pm playtime
I read books to him, flashcards, crawling, practice to stand, watch Baby Channel for 15mins.

2pm bath

2 - 3pm Nap

3 -8pm playtime again. same as above.

Somtimes, i get little bore with the same activities and very tired from watching play, make sure he is safe, don't fall on his head.

Any suggestion on things i can do with him

Oh, forgot to mention that I will take him for a walk
every other day to shop for paper, post office and park.

Here's my little boy's schedule, also 10-mths old :-

7-8 a.m. wake up, breakfast = 4 oz formula + 4-5 oz baby cereal w/banana or pear
then play time with mommy before she goes to work
then 45 min-1 hr morning nap (gets tired 2 hrs from waking)
11-noon lunch = 8-9 oz solids (protein, veg, carbs)
then go to supermarket with helper, go to the park (LOVES being on the swing!!!)
2-3 p.m. nap (45 min - 1 hr)
bath, snacks (learning how to eat finger foods), more playtime at home, watch TV
5-6 p.m nap (45 min - 1 hr)
dinner (protein, veg, carb)
playtime with mommy & daddy returning home from work
9-10 p.m. sleep

It does get a bit repetitive at home with the same toys, but silly things make my baby laugh, like rolling potatoes or blueberries on the table or bouncing a beach ball off the wall. We were also given a toy potty which "sings" when you flush & get toilet paper, he loves it & can spend a good 15 minutes playing with it. Also flashing lights in the recent christmas tree has added some excitement to his world.

I hear ya. I didn't find my older daughter fantastically interesting until she really started to talk. Don't get me wrong. I adored her from when she was born. But without a lot of interactivity. Must be a guy thing. ;)

There's not a huge amount you can do, but exposure to various things is good. Then again, routine is also good. Too much change just generates fussiness.

Be patient. ;)

Yes, my 10 months old baby is also sometimes get bored at home playing the same things/toys. Bringing him to the park, let him crawl/ walk by support on the ground at the park or club house. Get some plastic bowls or cups and spin it at the same time, he loves it and will really laugh out loud. Hang in there, soon he is running and you got to chase him at the park of house and no time to get bored!

my 10 month old is now walking independently... not very well, but independently (exactly the same time ~to the day~ that her older brother started walking). her favourite thing is to practice it...again, and again, and again....

everything at this age is repetative. it's how they learn.

it can get tedious, but believe me... it won't be long before you are thinking, wow! that went so fast! i can't believe she/he is walking, talking etc.

PS> why don't you take the baby out everyday? that's my one rule. unless it's pouring rain, of course.

Why is pouring rain stopping you? Is she made of sugar? ;)

nah... it's just not so easy to take a toddler and the baby out. we live in a country park and i work a lot. i don't think that it's fair to ask my helper to take them out when it's pouring rain... light drizzle ok, coming down in sheets...no.

ps> my toddler and i LOVE to go out and jump in puddles!
