Diet: You have cereals in the morning, and you still consume
milk 2-3 times a day. Your milk feeds vary and you can consume up to 200ml of
milk (that’s a lot, compared to Kate who never crossed the 120ml at the same
age). You're on 90% BM and 10% formula. The formula is more as back-up when we go out (somehow, I have this mild fear that you'll starve if my boobs suddenly dry up; it's a mind thing, don't ask) and it's more convenient to bring a feed of powder out when I'll not be around you. Though now, you have porridge/noodles/soupy stuff, potatoes and mashed-up-stuff for your
other meals. You don’t seem to be fussy with food (yay) and seem to have a
healthy appetite. You love biscuits and you stare (rudely) when we eat. Hehe.
Play: You love watching Kate and following her and swiping
her things always (and incur her wrath); you like playing (hitting) all your
toys, banging away. You put everything into your mouth.
Growth: You are due for your vaccination this Friday so I
don’t know your current height/weight but from what I see, you have definitely
grown!
Developments: You continue to leopard crawl with zest, I
really wish you’ll figure out how to use your knees cos honestly, you don’t go
very far with how you’re crawling. Though... if you put your mind to it, you go
everywhere you want because you are so determinedly strong! It tickles me to
see you zoom across the house wherever you want to go. It’s so cute that you
have truly become an occupant of the house, besides your (mountain) of things everywhere,
I actually see you at places like the playroom, or the master bedroom, or (once
only) in the toilet. The walker is really a good investment! You have learnt how
to open/close your fingers ala “twinkle little star”, you can wave your arms,
you can clap your hands. You are beginning to babble a lot nowadays. You also
recognise people and are quite a terror in wanting to be heard. You yell the
house down and cry with all your might. Little chilli padi!
Dear Jake,
Happy 8 months! You're such a joy to be around now and my not-so-secret happiness also stems from the fact that you need need need Mommy to carry the moment you set your eyes on me (whee!) Your so responsive now and it's really fun to try to tease smiles out of you. I love how happy and cheery you are in the mornings and it's so precious to watch your beautiful face. You have to learn to curb your nasty temper though - such terrible screams and tantrums when you don't get your way!
I love you with all my heart, dear baby boy.
Love, Mommy
