I just want to share some info on Ejul's growth and development. FYI, he is 8 months ++ now.. :) Ok, by the end of month eight a baby typically:
- Chews on objects - many parents agree with this. This has become Ejul's favourite hobbies. Sometime we as parent has to monitor them frequently on things/stuff that he/she chew or put in their mouth to prevent from choked.
- Reaches for utensils when being fed - happens to me several times when he slap the spoon from my hand!!
- Turns head away when finished eating
- May sleep between 11 and 13 hours a night; takes 2 to 3 naps (may vary)
- Rolls all the way around
- Sits unsupported
- Gets on arms and knees in crawling position - can't wait to see him on his knees to crawl..
- Has specific cries for various needs
- Babbles enthusiastically - he likes to scream all the times!! hahaha so cute.
- Tests gravity by dropping objects over edge of high chair
- Responds to own name
- Has different reactions for different family members - he now can recognize strangers but very choosy. he only like boys. will cry whenever any girls carry him... hmmmmmmmm..
- Shows some anxiety when removed from parent - not happy whenever i ignore him or get inside car. he's hoping that i'll bring him along and only then he will smile.
