Give Me 5

J is 5 month-old!! Looking back at photos taken since he was born, my little baby has grown from a little monkey to a cuddly koala bear! He was slightly on the small size when he was born, but he weighs more than 10kgs now which is heavier than a 8 month-old baby.

J is able to...

• look across the room to search for the source of sound
• grasp things around him intentionally with the help of his developing eye-hand coordination skill. He can now reach out to things I place in front of him accurately. No more waving around the item before getting it.
• "stand" when mama holding him up on the standing position. His legs are getting stronger day by day.
• mimic some of mama's facial expressions. Mama made facial expressions tried to make him smile when recording short clips and have recorded the above clip...

Something else...

• J gets frustrated if some disturb him when he is trying to sleep.
• J falls asleep faster when mama caressing his hair. At first mama starts caressing his hair is to prevent him from scratching his forehead but later found that he likes it.
• J likes to eat durian... mama used a small flat spoon to feed him little bit.
• Mama lets him try to sit in his walker... he got frightened by the animal sound and music when mama pressed the button accidentally. (*..*)
• J could not fit into some of his 6-12 months size clothes.
