etha*n is 8months old

:-D

hes sick (again). tsk tsk... yes, its still the cough & flu. kasian dia. the coughing is the one that gets to me. i hate hearing him cough in his sleep.

my mom says hes probably feeling poorly because hes teething. which is happening. i can see his front upper gums tipped white which is the tooth cutting through i guess. also in the last 1 week he has been a bit difficult. tossing & turning in his sleep & when hes awake, hes constantly putting his fingers in his mouth to alleviate the soreness i guess. cos he chomps at his fingers & not sucks at them.

at 7months i was so eager to check out his weight. but ma boy, hes a bit of a mr wriggles. & when we placed him on the weighing scale in the clinic, the needle was going haywire. i think i might take him to try it out again tomorrow since we're in the vicinity of the clinic.

im not sure what was my update in the last entry. probably the same i guess. he can now take a few steps while standing supported in his cot. last night, he tried to stand unsupported by letting go of the cot railing a couple of times. but my mom said he "bergegar" hihihi... means, shaky... so farnee. my dad thinks hes a curious little boy cos he always watches my dad when he walks past him to see where my dad goes or what he does.

my favorite moments with etha*n is when its just the 2 of us rolling around in bed laughing. his idea of a funny good time is biting me on my face or knees or tummy or wherever lah. which makes it ticklish & im usually howling in laughter. this gets etha*n going even more. we're almost wrestling with each other. at the end of it, both our faces will be full of (his) saliva. haha... the husband tends to leave us alone during these times as it just means he can watch his tv uninterrupted. you dont know what you're missing babe! but then again, with that face full of stubble, never mind lah, better you dont come near us.

the brain development of babies are amazing. etha*n now knows when he does something cute & he'll keep at it bcos it makes me laugh. the latest thing that he does is sport a gummy smile & close his eyes till all you can see are slits. then he'll open them ever so slightly to watch your reaction (to the gummy smile that makes him look extra chinese). a split second later he'll quickly close his eyes again but not before you see them rolling upwards as he pretends that he wasnt looking at you at all. & through all this is gummy smile, shrieks of laughter and shoulders rolling in pleasure.

the next milestone to wait for apparently is his first step. so i guess i should re-charge my camera batteries. i cannot wait. but before that time comes, i'm gonna have to start babyproofing my home already.
