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!
