What can you do so far?
1) You could sit up unsupported for a few seconds when u were 4.5 months old.. Then by a month later u could sit all on your own already..
You could also crawl when u were around this age.. But u were drag crawling.. Not the on the knees type of crawling yet.. But when u were 6 months old u were already semi knee crawling n when u were 7 plus months old u r already knee crawling swiftly.. I can't really tell exactly when u know how to crawl is because u were not allowed to crawl on the floor.. U only crawled on the bed n seriously not allowed on the floor at all..
2) Your bottom teeth came out when u were exactly 6 months old.. It's the bottom middle came out first.. Then second one came right after also.. Prolly a week a part..
Right before your bottom tooth sprout out, u were giving mommy a hellish time.. U used to be able to sleep through the night ever since u were almost 2 months old until 5 months old.. But then after that, u keep waking up in the middle of the night by scream crying n I had to keep pacify your with my boobies.. I seriously had lack of sleep.. Your sleeping cycle also turned messed up n very unpredictable.. When your tooth come out, then only I knew why.. But until now, u still no longer sleeping through the night.. U wake up for mid night feeds.. U wake at least 3 times at night if I'm lucky.. If I'm unlucky, u wake every 2 hours.. N there was once, u woke every hourly! Omg.. I was like a zombie the next day..
3) You also started solid when you were exactly 6 months old.. Your first solid was brown rice cereal with mommy's breastmilk.. Second solid introduced to you is avocado in breastmilk..
4) At 7 months old, u had your first vacation to Hong Kong for your Aunt's wedding (Your dad's sister).. U were a good girl on the plane.. Take off n landing also no problem.. Throughout the trip u were also an angel.. U didn't fuss as much as I expected u to be since u r in a foreign country.. Your attitude is like how u r when u go out Kai Kai here..
But when u came back, your sleep pattern turned worse; hence the 2 hourly wake n that one time every hour wake! @_@
N u refuse to take pacifier already.. So to date, u already did not take pacifier for close to a month..
5) At around 6 months plus close to 7 months old, u start to learn to stand.. You're like u can't wait to grow up.. When u just started to learn how to stand, u try to release your hand from support so u could stand on your own.. To date at 8 months old, u can crawl to me n using me as a pillar n support to stand.. But of course u still need support when standing..
This is taken when u first learn how to stand.
N this is how u stand these days..
6) At 7 months old, u started to talk real words like ma ma ma, pa pa pa pa or mum mum mum.. Not sure if u r really calling mama or papa.. But I'm sure mum mum is for when u ask for food.. U also begin to understand high five, bye bye and No! So to date at 8 months old, u know how to wave bye bye when asked to n stop when I said no.. N take your hand out to reach me when I said high five.. U understood High Five first.. Then No, the bye bye.. Now I'm teaching you to clap hands which u already understand but u refuse to do it cause u r just plain lazy like that.. Even when I asked u to wave bye bye, u refuse to do it unless I take your hands up then only u wave..
7) At 7.5 month old, was your first time swimming in real swimming pool.. U dont have much expression actually.. But kinda enjoy it towards the end when u found out that when u hit water, it has the splashing sound.. N don't be deceived by your happy face pictures.. It is because I asked u to smile then only u smile.. Oh, which I forgot to add, u understood me when u were around 5 months old, when I take out my phone, points at u then I said SMILE! Then u will give me a big smile.. Like this..
8) At 8 months old, u spent your first Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve at home cause daddy were busy working night shift.. So on Christmas eve, mommy put on a Santa hat on u n take some pictures..
N then u spent New Year's Eve with your grandpa n watching fireworks with him at our attic floor..
N then now today... U r a cheeky intelligent baby that only wants to do wat adult does.. N u hate eating porridge.. Your face will turn into like I force you to eat your own shit.. U like to eat sweet stuff like fruits.. So those organic fruit pouches (Elle's Kitchen, happy baby) I bought for u from a US base website, u like them.. N u extra love bread.. U never reject eating bread.. U like your biscuits too! But u r definitely a picky eater like your dad n has sweet tooth like daddy too!
You are also very clingy like mommy.. U will be a very happy baby if I'm within your reach all the time.. As long as I'm around, nothing else matters.. Example, if u wake up n don't see me, u will give a loud scream kind of cry..
I guess that's all for now..I believe that it won't be long before u know how to walk.. Your grandparents predict that u will be able to walk when u reach 10 months old.. I kinda believe that too..
I just wanna say this though.. Even u drive mommy crazy by stealing mommy's sleep time n all.. I cannot imagine my life without u anymore.. You've been a huge part of my life for the past 8 months.. I have fallen deeply in love with you ever since I first saw u n it has gotten deeper n deeper.. U really complete me.. U have made mommy a better person.. A more responsible person, understanding n made me has more life n love in me.. I really really really love u with all my heart..
Oh well, four more months to your first birthday.. N mommy can't wait! I'm already starting to think what should i do for u on your birthday.. Till then.. I love you baby!
