etha*n is 7mths

yes he is. in fact, he is almost 7.5 months now. i've been so bad at updating his progress. i keep reminding myself that this will some day come in handy for myself (when im a septuagenarian with alzheimers) and maybe he would like it too (when im septuagenarian six feet under) as a reminder that i love love love him.

new things:

- hes got 2 front lower teeth & it looks like the 2 front upper ones are coming soon

- he can stand in his cot / playpen on his own. actually he can now squat & stand, stand & squat. something that he couldnt do earlier. he only knew how to get into a standing position but then he wouldnt know how to get back down. so, when hes tired of standing, he cries & someone has to come & help him sit again.

- his hair growing (yayyy) so it looks a bit darker now. got some length into it. ok maybe like 1.5cm like that only lah.

- he loves fruit juice --i use a shredder to shred pear or apple & stuff this into a fresh fruit feeder (which is basically a thumb-sized mesh bag) & he sucks the juice through. he absolutely loves it & gets angry when i take it away for a refill.


- he can do monster sounds hehehe... by growling. & he will do it again if you ask him to. but first you must say: baby, make the monster sound. roarrrr!! so then he will do lah.


- he can follow instructions. im trying to get him to take to the sippy cup. so i read that sometimes they dont know that they have to suck (for those cups with the stopper valves). so, one day, after numerous times giving the sippy to him & him not wanting it. i told him "see, look at me. you have to suck on the sippy baby" & so i took a sip from him sippy and exaggerated the sucking. & you know what... he immediately sucked on the sippy when i let him try it!! however, that was the only time lah. after that he didnt want it haha. as soon as the sippy cup touches his lips, he makes a face as if in distaste like that. & ya, very the drama --he scrunches up his whole face as if i gave him something sour. padahal, its just water AND he didnt even tilt the sippy yet to even get to whatevers inside.


- i caught him imitating me on the phone. muahaha... i was on the phone one day & he was just crawling about & climbing all over me. finally, i gave him a remote control (which he has a fascination with) thinking that he was just gonna play with the buttons but instead he put it to his ear. on a few separate occasions. & last night i gave him my handphone to hold, & he put it to his ear again. so farnee. & so amazing actually. not that he is amazing (which he is of course cos he has me as a mum hihihi), but babies in general are amazing for learning things.

etha*ns sick today. got it from me when i was sick (& on mc for 3 days) last week. & i got it from the husband who was sick 2 weeks ago. started with a sore throat / pharyngitis / tonsilitis (one of those lah) & graduated to a full blown cold. however, etha*n's started with the runny nose which i feel is better than having a sore throat. so we took him to the clinic this morning. poor baby. he only JUST started getting round again & now hes sick which means maybe he will lose the roundness. dangit.

here are some pictures of him at 7mths:
