Month#9

Updates on my lil angel development at month#9:

1)Started to show understanding on commands and instructions. He will clap his hands, wave his hands and shows signs of milk-milk if you ask him so...
2)Hungers for attention and separation anxiety signs getting worse. He will cry when he sees you leaving the room, or sometimes just a short distance away from him.
3)Experts in gross and fine motor skill. He can stand while holding onto something, and sometimes even with another hand clutching an object.
4)His emotional bud is developing. I can tell it coz he frowns and tears build up in the eyes when you raise your voice at him.
5)Call papa, dada, aiyeee...ankoo, kkkkkk, JUST no MAMA...:(

I enjoyed thorougly time spent with Derrick. He understands games and jokes so completely that he really liften up your spirits to join the fun with him. I will always cherish and appreciate this gift of Heaven to me, as he completes my life with joy and laughter. I look forward to pick him up every working day as I cant wait to spend more and more time with him before he grows up.

Month#8 progress

Derrick is progressing well with his hand-eye coordination. He understands instruction and will happilly clap his hands when you instructed him so. No problem with right hand-left foot or vice versa movement when he is all on four mode. He is a happy go lucky boy and laugh easily at mommy or daddy's funny expression. He's also an avid fan of simple kid games like peekaboo, song singing, or baby tickling. I love my boy more and more and wish to hear him call mommy... He has started calling his papa at month#6.. when is mommy turn??? Below were some shots taken while on family outing at mengkuang dam.

Another milestone met, way to go baby!

My boy has finally fully recovered from his flu+running nose post CNY. He is also slowly recovering from dark circle under the eyes after I found out that he could be developing allergy towards dust, fur, etc. Quick update on his latest development: Great improvement in both fine and gross motor skills like able to pass object from one hand to another hand at ease, crawling at faster rate now. He loves ball, and will go chasing after the ball, uses his little hands to grasp the ball while trying to bounce it. He has no problem standing up while holding onto something, and followed by biting the next closest object that he sees. I admit its more tiring for me now, as he no longer sits or lye still waiting for mommy to command his limited mobility then. He also wakes up regularly for night feeding now as I think he needs more energy to support his growing mobility. Watching my baby grows bit by bit everyday brings joy and marvels into my life. His little achievement or progress from tossing over, mini push-ups, leg bouncing, grasping objects, standing ups, crawling, laugh at your expressions and cry when you raise your voice at him taught me a great deal about life. Baby doesnt stop learning, and falling down or hitting his head against the floor or hard surface does not stop their attempt to achive the next development milestone. He would cry a bit, but after a while of soothing, he is on his way to 'redo & retest' his capability :). We as adult, should live our life in such a way too be it our career, relationship, belief and dream. My Derrick opens up my eyes through the journey of a baby and the ups and downs along his progress. Mommy is damn proud of you darling ;). Attached are a few of his videos to be shared:
