Sean @ 7-Months-Old

My lil man turns 7-months-old today.

Vital Stats:
Height: 71cm
Weight: 10.8kg
Head Circumference: :48.5cm

Diet:
- He is still a breastfed exclusive baby. Drinks 6-7oz on 3-4hrs interval during day time and unknown on his first/last feed due to direct nursing.

- Started off cereal on his solid and now moving into porridge. Haven't really introduce meat/fish to eat but just put them (meat) in his porridge to get the 'sweetness'.

- Started fruit - only on apply and he loves it! He is able to finish 1/2 average size apple.

- Dislike drinking water! :-( We are still making it a habit to feed him water right after milk (except direct nursing) and few sips in between.

Development:
- He is like his Che Che, nap very short hour lately (unlucky me!) like 1-1.5hrs each time. He naps 4-5 times a day and his nap can be as short as 20mins!!

- Finally, he is able to turn both sides from back to tummy and vice verse.

- He is able t0 sit unsupported.

- He adores his Che Che and laugh along with her.

- He is showing sign of crawling (the commando type) as we are seeing him lifting his knee up and tried to move his body to the front.

- He is able to move front and back(mostly) in his walker

- He can't be left alone. The moment he sees no one within his sights, he will scream his lungs out.

- For the same reason, he can't sleep long at his own bed. So he co-sleep with me, which enable him to sleep through the night. For this reason, I don't mind. :-)

- When we eat out, he can't sit alone for long in his high chair but want us to carry him. The carry is not sitting on our lap but walk around type! Argh! High demand baby.

- We are slowly training to be more independent by putting toys to him in order to divert his attention to look for us.

- He doesn't like sitting in his stroller and will scream and cry even less than 1 min. So we have to take turn to entertain this boy! (Note: It's my goal to train this fella sit in his stroller!)

- He is able to reach out both his hands and move his body towards our direction whenever we clapped our hands to ask him if he wants us to carry

- Ever since we started him on solid, he no longer poo everyday but every alternate days or sometimes dragged till 3 days. No hard stool so far but PD advised us to increase his fibre intake.

- His nanny is able to catch his sign of poo (he makes a sound) and able to bring him to sit on potty to do his big business. I didn't do that with him because I can't stay with him all the time.

- He has better hand motor skill as he is able to hold his rattle and soft toys firmly.
