8 months old

Recently, you started to cringe your face & pretend to cry whenever something is taken away from you and the moment we return it to you, your expression is back to normal instantly. Haha!!
Last night, mommy played hide & seek with you. I was hiding in the kitchen and you were somewhere at the dining table. You love playing peek-a-boo. After awhile, you came to look for mommy. You have strong legs. Your walker doesn't have wheels but you manage to push the walker to move about. You move about to taste the things in the house!! Granny said all the tables and chairs are your snacks. You reach out to them and lick them. Of course, we always pull you away to stop you from licking further. 

You can crawl on your tummy now. You can push your body up too and do the doggy position. Your hair is so spiky. Granny said whoever has pimples on their face better stay away from you. Otherwise, their pimples will get poked by your spiky hair. Hahahaha!!! Gross, I know. But I thought it's funny too.

You've been resisting bottle since a long time ago. So granny is still feeding you breast milk with spoon. From  9am to 6pm, you consume at least 10 oz of breast milk. Besides that, you're also taking solid food like porrige with vege for breakfast and lunch, rice cereal - chicken/vege/ikan bilis flavour with breast milk for dinner.

You can sit independently about 5 seconds. Haha!! You drool alot. 

You're down with flu, cough and phlegm since Saturday. Doctor said you need to be nebulized.
Last 2 nights, daddy and I brought you to the hospital to be nebulized to get rid of the phlegm. You cried terribly. I think you dislike the mask to cover your face and the sound. You poor little thing. But the nebulizer works best if you cry. Last time when you were younger, you didn't cry when you were put on the nebulizer and the effect wasn't as good as this time. You have 4 types of medicine to take and the one which makes you vomit is the antibiotic which has little white powder in it. So mommy has to be extra careful when feeding you antibiotic, bit by bit so you won't vomit & let you rest many times in between to finish off the 3 types of medication. 

It's so difficult to put on clothes for you because you just can't lay still. You just have to turn and lay on your tummy. Luckily we have kakak Soyi to help. 

You're very playful and sometimes I think you want to be tickled or you probably want to crawl for awhile on granny's bed before you sleep. You also laugh easily especially at night.

There were 2 occasions where you suddenly cry in the middle of the night and mommy couldn't wake you up. Granny heard and quickly ran out from her room to carry you. Both of us kept calling your name and make all sorts of sounds to wake you up. You were crying in your sleep and couldn't wake up.
