He is 5 months now...

My boy is growing up...he is 5 months today...thank God for helping us manage! As i pause and take stock of the months that have passed...i made these observations...

Things that have changed...
- He is able to flip and remain on his tummy without "complaining" too much.
- He is able now to sleep through the night. Fingers crossed that he will continue to do that.
- He can now put himself to sleep...after much tossing, turning, cooing, leg kicking, thumb sucking and flipping. But he still has his moments where he wants a cuddle before sleeping.
- He is more willing to sit on his rocker or pram while Eugene and i have meals. Although his patience does wear off after awhile. Working progress
- He doesn't wake up crying all the time...sometimes he is able to just coo and play on his own in his cot.
- He is able to yak alot! Making all sorts of sounds with his mouth.
- He loves his bath times now...kicking furiously. He used to HATE them and we use to HATE bathing him too!
- He is now able to go through the whole day in one body suit...he used to soil himself badly each morning.
- He is able to burp without spewing milk each time now.
- He is able to sit on his own...only about a few minutes before he topples over.
- He able to pacify himself with his thumb.
- He is able to feed more efficiently...thank God for that!!
- He is able to respond with coos and big smiles.
- He is able to laugh heartily
- He is more willing to be alone in his car seat while i drive....but depends on his moods at times.


Some things that have not changed...
- He still fusses when we have to moisturise him after his bath.
- He still arches his back when he doesn't like something.
- He is still not able to keep still for long!
- We still love him lots...maybe even more now....

My dear boy....
