baby's milestones

update on what the baby's developments nowadays:
1) crawl on all 4. if anyone got the time, will just follow him and let him crawl all over the house. but not for long cos the kneecaps get all red after sometimes.
2) pull himself to a standing position and cruise that teeny weeny bit (with the right incentive like wanting you to carry him or reaching out for things).
3) lower himself to a sitting/kneeling position from a standing one. success rate is ard 3.5/5. haha. think with some practice he can get up and down with ease. but its v amusing to see him gingerly lowering himself down. like scaredy cat like that. haha.
4) baby can clap!!! it just happens out of the blue when i've been trying to teach him over the past mth. now he can clap on cue whenever anyone sings "当我们同在一起，在一起，在一起。。。。" and doing the clapping movements. ha.
5) lie on tummy and put his head down by the side when i say "sleep sleep". highly dependent on his mood.
6) lightly bump his head onto my side of the face when i say "kiss mummy".
7) his lower teeth finally cut through! or rather, his lower right tooth. finally saw a white edge ard 2mm. haha. thanks goodness he didn't have some of the teething symptoms common to some other babies.

what i wish he will be able to do soon:
1) point with his index finger! then i can know for sure if he knows what is what. for now when i say objects like clock, slippers, watch, keys, he will look around and his gaze will stop at the object spoken when he found them. but im not sure if its coincidence or what.
2) look at me and say mama bao bao! now he will randomly whine and sprout out these words but still aint sure if they are directed at me.
3) mash food with gums/teeth for sure. uncertain of this at the moment. at times, he seems to be doing so. at others, he just swallow. hmm...

okie, still just want him to grow up healthily and of cos at his own rate. :)

bringing him for his 9mths assessment and last jab of the pneumococal jab this saturday! :) on his 9th mth birthday too. *ouch*
