My 8-month-old chubs

chasing after a lantern Gong gong bought for her at the market
the mentioned lantern - it plays very "Chi-na" music!
Gong gong bought yet another tambourine for her
Feeding time by Gong gong!

when the feeding got too slow :P
Playing with the alphabet mat at Nai nai's - D is for Daddy!

Hmm... who should I call?
Distracted by a touch-and-feel book

couldn't decide on a person to call ... so she decided to chew the phone
Listening and watching one of her favorite songs on BabyTV - Special Day song.
According to MIL, she will lurch towards the living room/TV wherever she is when she hears the song plus she can sway to the music.

So far, my 8-month-old chubs: 
  • can crawl really fast, almost leaping
  • can stand up in her cot without help from us
  • can stand up with support from pillows/furniture
  • has two teeth prominently out and 2-3 more on the way!
  • has fallen sick twice within a span of 2 months
  • has broken out in rashes after a bad bout of constipation
  • has started on solids and is having 2 meals of solids a day and loving it!
  • can identify certain things when it has been repeated to her several times
  • can hold out her hand to us on request
  • can roughly identify waving with "goodbye" and "hello"
  • rolls around/sits up and then freefall on the mattress/cot when sleeping at night
  • responds to familiar and favorite toys/songs/people by squealing in joy/jumping/laughing
  • can link stretching out of arms to "baobao" (hug/carry)
  • can run in her walker and manouever it at ease
  • doesn't take long afternoon naps anymore unless there is air-conditioning
  • sleeps only for 6 hours at a stretch at nighttime before waking up for a feed
Baby, we can't wait for your first words! We all love you so much :) Happy 8 months!

Long National Day!


Things she put in her mouth in a single day:
pacifier
pacifier cap
toy ball
clapper
teether toy
milk bottle cap
AH... the agony of teething - itchy gums!

Paid a visit to Fiona's place to pick up some toys and car seat. That's Aiden playing (bullying?) chubs by putting a soft toy on her head

Shopping with Gong gong and Uncle Charles!

hanging out at Nai nai's place
hanging out at Popo's before going shopping. Popo bought this baby doll for her and when she saw it crawling towards her, she actually sayang the doll by patting it softly on the head! She even got a tad jealous when naughty mummy pretended to sayang the doll too. Hahaha...

 shopping at Daiso before dinner
dinner at IMM Ichiban sushi - first person to eat and finish before everyone else can start
Um... waiter?
