Getting around is no longer a problem.
You have become a very good crawler.
Now, it can be rather difficult to make you stay at one place.
Baby proofing the house is necessary but we have not got down to doing it.

You have developed sensitive skin.
The rash on you cheek have grown so big and ugly that it hurts to see it.
With medication, the rash has started to improve.
We hope that the rashes will clear up completely.

The next feat you are trying to accomplish is standing.
You have learnt to pull yourself up using the sofa, the bed and so on.
However, you are still not able to support your weight.
So you will fall back on to your backside.

Sitting pretty - 3 August 2007

You have been crawling around so baby proofing the house has to be done soon.

Now on your tummy, you are learning to sit up.

So you will twist your body so that you buttocks touch the ground. Your arms supporting your body and slowly you push yourself up to a sitting position.

While sitting, you will try to stand up. You will hold on to anything that is in front of you and slowly push yourself up. However, there are still many practice sessions before you can master this skill.

21 July 2007, Saturday - Sitting Pretty At Mac

I need to eat my breakfast and it can be quite difficult to have to wiggle in my arms at the same time. Hence, I decided that it is time for you to upgrade to the high chair.

18 July 2007, Wednesday - First Crawl

Hey! You did it! You have learnt to crawl.
For a first timer, you are quite fast!
On top of that, you also can change direction!

13 July 2007, Friday - Apple with cereal

Today is the second day that I prepare this for you. I am quite frustrated that you are not willing to eat your cereal in the mornings and am getting worried about your eating habits too.

However, I tried to puree a quarter of a Fuji apple and mix it into your cereal. Hey presto! You decided that it was not all that bad. Although you did not finish all of it but at least there was less struggle when I fed you.

So you seems to like the apple and cereal mixture.

Next week, it will be porridge with a green veggie for lunch.

10 July 2007, Tuesday

You have learnt to sit quite well now. So you can play with your toys while sitting.

You also love flash cards. You get very excited when you see the cards flashing in front of you. However, you are not too keen on reading books yet. You tend to squrim and wiggle out of my lap when I try to read to you.

2 July 2007, Monday

You have started to scream your lungs out when things doesn't go your way. It hurts to hear you do that but I cannot be carrying you 24/7, can I?

You have started to sit without support. Still not stable yet but with more chances for practise you will be able to sit up tall soon.

Then you started to show interest in toy cars. Yes...you enjoy seeing the car been rolled around.
