seven months.

dear baby girl,

you are seven months today! and sadly its also time for me to go back to work tomorrow.
=(

well thats ok. i do not worry that much about you now since you are growing well (8.8kg and 70cm tall now), eat well (4 milk & 2 solids), sleeping well (2-3 naps & 12-13 hours of sleep throughout the night), playing well and hitting all your milestones!

rolling is so yesterday. you used to roll to your destination instead of crawl because you found it faster. but now you seem to realise that crawling is better because you cant really roll over everything. hahaha. you are still on the way of becoming a competent crawler. you have mastered the worming leopard crawl and now occasionally, and getting more frequently, you would lift your belly above the ground and crawl on all fours! your limbs are getting stronger by the day - you are able to support yourself with just your hands and feet on the ground leaving your butt up high which is a very funny sight. and now its not safe to put you on our bed any more even with pillows because you have gotten so good and crawling over them!

you are now learning to feed yourself your star shaped graduates puffs. you have learnt to pinch the puff up using the finger-thumb grasp, put it into your mouth but has yet learnt to release that yummy food into your mouth. and you would give us that puzzled look when the puff is not in your mouth even after you put it in. thats because it came out of your mouth still in your finger-thumb grasp, my silly baby!

talking about food, we have discovered that you seem to like fruits a lot! you love pear. we found this by accident. on our flight to phuket, we were given three bottles of heinz's baby food and one of them was pear. when we feed you that on one of the day there, the spoon seemed to have some magnetic charm with your mouth. hahaha. so we have made pear & apple purée and you seem to like it just as much. you like durian and lychee too. i had craving for them badly when i was pregnant with you!

you have also learn to make single sounds consisting of a consonant and a vowel, like ma & pa. you would call maaa.. mmaaa.. whenever you need help escaping bedtime, bored stuck in your chair, etc. i am not sure if you know what those means yet. but i am still happy to hear them!

you have been also developing your character! though you are still shy & wary meeting new people but once you warm up to them, you are all smiles and giggles!

the biggest thing that happened this month was - we went phuket!

and my favourite photo have to be of us at phuket!



stay happy my happy baby.
i am now more prepared to go back to work than in february. i am looking forward to have some increase in my bank account so that we can have mini holidays again!


and yes i shall remind myself that its the moments we remember and 
stop feeling bad about not being able to be with you all the days. 



love love,     
mummy.
