gaby turns 8 months


*totally engrossed while watching Hi-5 and completely ignoring mommy!*

it has been an exciting month as gaby turns 8 (months) and here are some of the more significant milestones for this month:


- sitting up by himself, but occassionally need some support on the sides
- finally sprouting 2 lower central incisors! but the drooling never cease...
- able to hold milk bottle while feeding
- enjoys watching Hi-5 and Barney and will shake his head when he hears his favourite songs being played
- recognizes close family members and will smile when prompted
- able to use pincer grip to pick up small biscuits/puffs.
- eating 3 semi-solids meals a day in addition to his normal milk intake & snacks
- prefers to eat 'adult' food and will show displeasure (fuss or cry) if not being fed a little - he's a little glutton in the making!
- flippin' and rollin' all over the bed and enjoying tummy time a whole lot.
- gliding everywhere on his walker but no signs of wanting to crawl - he'd probably end up skipping this stage, just like his sister!
