"happy 7th month, mon cherie... " (my sleepy piglet enjoying her nap but not forgetting her pacifier :P)
mommy & daddy loves you loads and loads ...." *muacks*
** bb milestones **
* increased appetite for semi-solid with 2 feeds per day (mid-morning & early afternoon)
* started on congee for daily feeds for almost 2 weeks; mixed with either 2 or 3 varieties of pureed carrots, potatoes, brocolli. tried pureed bak chor with carrot in congee once.
* reduced in daily milk feeds ranging from 80ml ~ 160ml including 1 scoop friso crem; about 3 ~ 4 times daily.
* getting more talkative by trying new sounds (she said "mama" first then "baba"... Yeah, mommy wins!! :p) and babbling, even 'singing' along in church with the choir!
* looking at her own mirror image and try to 'grab' the new person or attempts to engage in 'conversation'
* able to smile at mommy/daddy's mirror image but still trying to figure out her own mirror image! :)
* playing with her tongue by poking in and out and playing with it between her lips - new found skill of blowing raspberries
* makes chewing movement with her gums especially when she sees mommy and daddy eating
* begin to response to her name when being called by returning a smile
* knows how to attract attention not only by screaming but by faking 'coughs' (i finally realised her little gimmick as initially i got worried each time i hear her cough and thought she'd choked on her own saliva, milk, etc etc...)
* better able to hold her head up and look forward when being flipped over on her tummy (she still can't flip by herself and unable to last any longer than 10mins on her tummy)
* able to sit up supported by cushions and without support in a highchair.
* will lift up her head and arch her shoulders when being shown that she's getting a pull up from lying position to sitting up position.
* able to take all her weight when being held to stand up on her feet for a few minutes.
* hand mobility includes consciously let go of her pacifier by dropping it and then picking it up again; grasps her feet when lying on her back and even puts her toes in her mouth!
* able to hold her own bottle ~ usually very unwillingly and would prefer to be fed; including her baby biscuits!
* showing affection by touching (sometimes a little to hard it's like being slapped or boxed by her loving hands... wooo...) or grabbing daddy/mommy's hands or arms, stroking (scratching most of the time with her sharp fingernails... grrrlll...) our faces and even pulling mommy's hair!
* shy (scared) of strangers if being put near them without mommy/daddy's close presence and rather selective at who's allowed to carry or 'talk' to her.
* gets excited when she hears the main gate's being opened ~ means she's going for a walk or outing :)
* still a heavy drooler but no sight of any tooth emerging any time soon
