Half Year Has Gone...

Boy, it has been 6 months since I delivered Sean..time really flies. At 6 months:

Vital Stats:
Height: 68cm
Weight: 9.8kg
Head Circumference: :48cm

Diet:
- He started solid today. Will blog about it in a separate post.
- He is still a breastfed exclusive baby. Drinks 6-7oz on 3-4hrs interval.

Development:
- His weight started to stable down, no longer soar like rocket.

- Sleep through for like 2+ months already. The earliest feed is 6am! Yipee for Mummy, no more getting up for midnight feed although i still get up (by nature) to check on the kids.

- He has dry and sensitive skin. So we need to use special soap and cream on his body.

- He is at the stage of lifting his feet and play with it. Strangely, only the left feet.

- He no longer sucks his thumb but the index finger. So if he does that right after the milk, he tends to vomit (mouthful). :-(

- He can't be left alone. When we are out of his sight, he will scream or whine.

- He is able to sit onto his car seat without crying if his Che Che is with him at the back.

- He started to recognize people..When we (me and nanny) walked away even we have someone around, he will whine. So, we have to distract him.

- He is not showing any sign of turning over from his tummy to back. Guess too heavy for his weight.

- He only turns 1 side, ie from to the left.

- He is able to lift his head up by using both his hands to support his weight like 20 mins.

- He can "tell the time" when the time is up, especially night time. By 8.30pm, he started to whine but if we bring him back to the room and change into his PJ, he is ok. Good for us during weekdays because we can prepare both kids to bed early. However during weekends, we need to eat out early so that we can come back home just before pass 8.30pm. With the recent outbreak of A(H1N1), we hardly eat out but just tau pau.

- He likes to stand although he can't stand by himself. When we lift him up from sleeping position, he tends to push his leg muscle to get himself ready for the stand up position. Argh...not yet learn how to sit but already want to stand!!!

- He likes to play with his Che Che. I think Che Che makes him laugh out the most, even she is just singing and dancing. I can imagine they will be good play mate later (don't remind me the fighting part!)

- When we take our house keys, he will get all excited by kicking and moving. He knows 'taking keys = kai kai'..

- He likes to play the 'chase me' with his Che Che when we are at the aisle of Poh Poh's house. He will shout and move his whole body.
