10 Months Old Baby

My baby just reached 10 months old. She is happily standing and jumping around now while squealing at high pitch sound. Maybe this is what is meant when people say baby make your house warm. Especially with the almost non-stop babbling, it is so funny to watch her.

My baby is one happy bub. She likes to smile, giggle and laugh. What's so unique about her, is that she is shy at the same time. After getting warm up with stranger, and when the stranger say hello to her, she can smile and look away hiding her face, a shy gesture. So so cute. I've never seen any baby that can be shy. Hohoho

She is also very active and alert. Even when my maid walk towards us from behind, and only making the slightest noise, she will turn her head so quickly to check what's happening.

Here's how she looks now.

Smoking Outside House Can Harm Baby's Health

My hubby is a smoker. I've been telling him to quit smoking, or at least do not approach our baby after smoking before he showers. But little of what I've been telling him goes into his mind.

I've read from What to Expect book, that even when parent(s) who do not smoke near the baby can actually harm the baby's health. It can cause damage to lungs for up to 70%.

And today I came across reading this article that supports what I read before. The article mentioned that even when smokers have finished a cigarette outside, they are still breathing out smoke when they enter the house, contaminating the air. Nicotine also attaches to the hair and body, while other particles also attach to the clothes.

So, the combination of exhaled smoke, nicotine and other particles, pollute the otherwise clean air and results in the child breathing in these poisonous substances.

So if you smoke and you think it's safe by not smoking near your baby, think again!
