Wow, has it been almost 8 months?
G has been trying hard to keep up with xxm's daily routine and this blog has unfortunately become the lowest priority. Finally, G has some time on hand to update the blog!
Xxm will be 8 months old in 4 days time...over these few months, he has grown from a little bundle of joy into a joyful bundle of energy...
His physical milestones are approximately as follow:
- rolled over back to front @ 3 months
- sits unsupported @ 5 months
- prone to sitting @ 7 months
- pulls to stand @ 7 months
- creeps @ 7 months
- crawls @ 7+ months
- take steps when held upright @ 6+ months
- cruising @ 7+ months
He is definitely a very mobile baby now...so much so that the living area had to be reorganized to allow room for this little one.
G is still breastfeeding him, on top of his 3 meals of solids. While he's not exactly a fussy eater, he gets sick of food quite easily. Feed him infant cereal and it's world war 3, but give him chwee kuey and he opens his mouth wider that a hippo yawning.
Xxm is a natural charmer with strangers. Once out of the house, he turns into the cutest baby who can get the attention of any stranger who happens to make eye contact with him. Random uncles, aunties, gor gor & jie jie have come up to him to play with him or just to stroke his cheek.
But at home he turns into a little terror who cries and screams for attention! And recently, he has started developing separation anxiety. Once G is out of his view, he starts whimpering and crying...at times, he even crawls in the direction that G has walked away.
In the next few months, xxm is gonna get more mobile and hopefully, he'll (and G's parents) cope ok when G finally goes back to work
