gaby turned 9 months today.
some updates to-date:
wt = 8.1kg
ht = 72cm
new milestones:
* another new pearlie white sprouting... yippee...
* standing unassisted for 5 - 8 seconds. pulls himself up numerous times a day - practising his motorskills!
* started having 2 meals of slow-cooked porridge for lunch and dinner while breakfast is usually cereal, sometimes tiny bits of bread.
* getting more socialable and vocal - likes to imitate chloe and they both screams non-stop for fun... grrr....
* loves japanese food - just like his jiejie too!
one thing to note:
he's definitely a light sleeper.
or was it because he sleeps early?
anyway, taking care of him during the night shift is really a night-mare shift.
he wakes up at least 3-4 times an hour, once it is past 2am. and sometimes he just gets up, sits up and look around, then either he plonked his head back onto the pillow/mattress (depending on which direction he as rotated himself to during his sleep) and very often, it's heading straight towards my body - sometimes even my head/face! ouch!!
sometimes it's his night feed cravings but most times, he just wants me to cuddle/carry him for a little while... i guess it is his way of telling me how much he missed me during the day. it's super sweet when i think of it that way... but on the other hand, the constant waking up is really driving me up the wall - lack of sleep can cause me to be super irritated. who wouldn't?
then again - this is part and parcel of raising a baby. and i will probably miss it when he turns ONE and then start to sleep through the night (that's my one and only WISH for him, at least for now).
