So here's a special treat for you guys, especially for his Ki and his cousins:
His progress so far:
. He can lift his head while he's lying on his back, and he'd push his elbows against the pillow or bed, as if he's trying to get up.
. If you hold his hands and help him get up, his legs are strong enough to push up and stand up! We always play "sit up, sit down" till he complains (of getting tired).
. If you lie him on his tummy, he can not only lift and hold his head up, he can also hold the upper half of his chest up off the ground with his elbows.
. We have started 'training' him for crawling. I would hold my palms against his feet to create resistance and he'd push against it and move forward, amidst the cheers of his elder siblings. "Go Izani, Go!"
. He has been coo-ing for a while now, but these days we can hold slightly longer 'conversations' with him before he gets tired or distracted by something else.
. He gave his first laugh the other day. It was a "gurh-arrrkh", but it was unmistakeably a laugh.
. He is grabbing at everything!! my shirt, my scarf.. I'm starting to look like a skewed slob thanx to him.
. He has his own mind, he knows when he wants the bottle, and when he wants it the natural way, and he'll accept no substitutes.
. His sleeping pattern has pretty much stabilized. He gets sleepy by 9, and he sleeps through the night. I'll hear a little bit of a whiny complain around 3 am, which means I need to feed him, but after that he'll fall asleep on me till 8am.
. He has learnt to watch TV, thanx to his siblings.
. We have also caught him watching his elder brothers and sister intently.. studying their every move.. committing them to memory so that he can repeat them later, I suppose.
. He now knows how to play with his siblings, grinning at their funny faces and laughing at their peek-a-boo games.
Comparing it with the guidelines on babycentre, he's pretty much on track! :)
