Kimi Update

@8 months and still counting, Kimi’s already able to..

1. Mumble (phrases like Bababa, Vava, Mamama, Papapa, Abu continuously and several sounds you cannot really decipher)
2. Bite and Masticate (with 6 pearly white teeth plus drooling to the max, any food that comes in contact with his mouth is surely dissolved. if the tasteis new, he will don a disgusted face and shivers but he’ll like it eventually)
3. Walk, run, glide and brake (with the aid of a walker), Walk and jump bounce (while in the walker)
4. Sit from prone position (with a little more practice, he may be able to perfect it in due time…imagine how he can support an ~11kg body)
5. Supercrawl (in contrast with superspeed)
6. Grasp, pull and throw anything (from hair to lightbulb switch to dangling things, placemats, curtains…name it!)
7. Climb stacked pillows, the sofa and Hubi & I when we are lying down
8. Bend over and reach his toes and while in supine, pull his toes up to his mouth (Yoga 101)
9. Bang his head on the wall purposely (surprisingly, he enjoys it, on the otherhand, we always worry ;p)
10. Play with our pet dogs (he likes his fingers being licked by them while roaming around in his walker)
11. Sing himself to sleep (aaaah’s in different tune and sustaining)
12. Divert his attention to the TV when the shampoo commercial of KC and Lea Salonga’s milk commercial are on air
13. Keep still while watching Nickelodeon’s Backyardigans, Lazy Town, Hi-5, Blue’s Clues, Wonder Pets and Spongebob (sunud-sunod yun from 7am onwards)
14. Laugh hard at anything and everything (he’s a happy baby eversince and he’s not given us a hard time)
15. Hold his legs up while his poop is being cleared off his butt =)
16. Play on his own ( self supporting ba)
17. Toss and turn while in his crib (sabi nga nila: “naalikuteg”)
18. Scrutinize everything outside the window when in the car (from the wheels of the truck/bus to people walking, the lights etc..etc. what’s difficult here is, he likes to stand and he doesn’t like to be seated at the rear)
19. Use the crib edge, plastic medicine bottle, blanket as his teether (we bought an appropriate teether for him, however, he doesn’t like to use it. whenever we give it to him, he holds it and shakes it like a maracas)
20. Now, he’s ~11kg, footsize 20-21, clothes M to L (those labeled for 18-24months wouldn’t fit him anymore)

These are only a few of his many achievements. Definitely, there’s more to come. Time flies so fast and Kimi’s no longer a baby haaaay. I don’t know if I would be happy. Parang kelan lang…nakakamiss!!
