Jonah's Grand-love

Thank God for Ah Ma and Ah Gong for their sacrificial love for Jonah.

"I can do more!" says Jonah.

Yesterday, Jones did 3 leopard crawls consecutively! He was trying to reach his toys that got further the more he tried to get them cos his fingers were flicking him away instead of grabbing them. He can turn his body on his tummy 360deg! I can no longer leave him on the bed with a fortress of stacked pillows and blankets cos he's now able to throw them away!

All of his beds have been lowered to the lowest...Just now he actually pulled himself up to a standing position from a sitting position! Then he was bouncing happily like on a trampoline. He still needs to be placed in a sitting position. So when he learns how to sit up on his own, he'll be popping up from his cot to look around.

In a blink of an eye, Jones is almost 8mths old.

Straight up

Nowadays Jo can sit real straight on his own! He still topples sideways occasionaly. Today he showed development in his clapping. He used to clap to one hand but now he can move hands together to clap.

Potty Trial

Jo would sit for a while and then try to stand up! Good thing the potty was empty!

Mr Rollie-Wollie

Jo has been learning how to sit on his own. In fact sometimes he would whine to be seated instead of lying down! But today he was able to sit on his own and he sat real straight! When he's sitting in the cot, he can actually pull himself halfway up! That's why parents should never leave their children unattended. Assumptions may lead to some mishap. Soon we'll have to lower his beds.

Today while sitting, he had a 'timber' and I managed to catch it on video! But he got a scare, perhaps he pressed onto his toy while 'timber-ing', and he started crying with big tear drops rolling down his face.

Its true as to what the oldies say...'7mths sit, 8mths crawl & 9mths teething'. Well, somewhat true. He's sitting and his white enamels are revealing more of themselves.

The Grinder

When we were young, we used to gross each other out with the impersonation of the grinder. Every tasty food looked gross when put to the grind. Jojo did that today with his cereal and spinach bits but his cuteness distracted us from the grossness. He's slowly learning how to chew, I mean gum his food. With veggie, he voluntarily opens his mouth for more. Not so cooperative with fruits though. Maybe the sweetness is still new to him. Or he could just be a veggie-lover.
