{ This is for Sean to read and see when he grows up }

Dear Sean,

This is the video mummy took to record down how you climb up from a sitting position. Poor you, bang on the wooden edge of the bed few times before you can really climb up steadily.

Nevertheless, bravo to you! You were able to stand up by holding on something at 7+ months old. I blogged about it here.

When I leave for work...

This is the lovely smile that cheer me up every morning before I started off my battle in work!! LOL

I need to drop Sean to his nanny before I go to work. This little fellow likes playing his version of 'hide-and-seek' with me, ie to turn his head towards the driver's direction and smile to me!

Really bright up my day!

Happy 8-Months-Old

Hoho...another post on his monthly update.

Vital Stats:
Height: Should be taller than his last check up height, ie 71cm
Weight: 9.8kg (he lost 1kg after suffered from gastroentiritis just few days before)
Head Circumference: :48.5cm or more

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.
- Love eating porridge.
- Started fruit - apple, papaya and banana. He prefers apple than the rest.
- Seeing great improvement on him in drinking water!

Development:
- My lil man is able to do commando crawl pretty fast now. Infect, he is a big fan of Superman because he likes to crawl towards our bed and 'dive down' to his Che Che's bed.

- He is lifting his knee up a little and pushing his arm straight. I think he is ready to crawl on four.

- He is able to stand up on his own by holding on something, like climbing up from his playpen. Oh dear, I can expect soon he will cross one of his legs over and jump out from the playpen.

- I think I can tell from his characters that he is someone who needs lots of freedom when he grows up. You know, a mother's instint! :-)

- Although he doesn't like to be controlled/restricted on his movement, he can't be left alone.

- He is a playful baby. As long as you came out with any funny sound and play with him, i tell you, he can steal your heart away.

- Because of the same reason, he needs a quiet environment to sleep. Else, he will look around and stay awake until passed his nap time. Then, he became cranky pula. *roll eyes*

- He adores his Che Che very much, to the extend whatever the Che Che is holding, he wants a share.

不甘寂寞的男孩

{ Can you see the watery eyes from this boy??!! }

Sean is a high demand seeking boy, at least to me!

...He hardly can't play by himself for long

...He can't be left alone but needs to see someone near him

...He can't play the same toy for long.

...He doesn't like his own toy but his che che's.

...He will cry if he sees everyone walk out from the room

...When his sleeping time is up, he starts to look for me - to nurse and tug him to sleep.

...He can't sit in his stroller for long. When we first introduced the stroller to him, it lasted only for 1min before he started to scream. You read right, only for 1 min!! Things get better after 2months of 'intensive training', now can last for 30+ mins if he was given toys or something to play.

Clap Oh Clap

When Sean was a little baby, he cried when he woke up from his afternoon nap, sort of a way of telling us he is awake!

Things changed ever since he started to crawl.

Ever since he started to turn from his back to tummy, we no longer put him on our bed (if unattended) but on the mattress that we lay on the floor. When he gets up, he no longer cry but 'secretly' crawl to the edge of the mattress and play.

What is he playing?

He clap and kiss the floor! *slap head*

Thrust me, he loves this very much!

The Love of Grandpa & Grandson

Sean loves his Kong Kong the most(not that he doesn't love us) when it comes to play time. Kong Kong can make him giggle non stop until we have to stop Kong Kong! Can you believe Sean will start to smile to Kong Kong even Kong Kong just look at him??!!

I guess they must be good pal in their previous life! LOL

Climbing Up!

This is a note for Sean to read when he grows up.

At 7 months, 2 weeks and 5 days old, Sean has successfully climb up all by himself by holding the edge of the bed as a support This marked another growth milestone of Sean but the nightmare begin for his caretakers!

Last night, we were placing him on Ern's bed (which is just next to our king size bed) to let him play with his sister. Then, our little boy hold on to the edge of our bed and pushed himself up. It lasted for <5 seconds!
