Chloe is now 7-and-a-half months old now. Thought of doing a recap of her little progress thus far.
She is now quite fond of her walker, as she continues to discover the marvels of movement. In addition to moving backwards, she has started to learn to move sideways. Well she still hasn't mastered how to move forward, but she is getting there.
Basically Chloe still isn't very fond of eating. She still has to be asleep first before we feed her. milk. We started feeding her Heinz baby rice cereal a few months back. On a good day, she can finish it off quite quickly. On a bad day though, she will just keep the cereal in her mouth and refuse to swallow it. Sometimes, she will just regurgitate everything out... haiz, feeding time is still agony time for ah-ma.
Nowadays, she will only go to sleep at night with Ah-gong & Ah-ma on their bigger (compared to her cot) bed where she can toss and turn. After she falls asleep, either ah-ma or mommy will feed her before putting her back to sleep in her cot.
Her favourite toys are her rattle and the yellow-colour drumstick to her baby xylophone. The rattle is probably bec it makes a nice sound, and the yellow stick is because... well it is yellow in colour?? In addition, she also likes to grab our SCV remote control, and ah-ma's handphone very much. When she gets hold of the SCV, there goes our regular program, as Chloe is very capable of pressing the buttons and helping us to change the channels regularly.
Daddy & Mommy happened to pass by a Sesame Street carnival at Marina Square and decided to buy her some new toys. Now Chloe has an Elmo sing-along VCD, an Elmo puppet, a Sesame Street colour picture book (made of cloth, so it is washable, and she won't tear it to shreds like our newpapers), and her own Sesame Street "handphone" toy, so she doesn't have to fight with us for the SCV remote anymore... haha
As with all babies at this stage, Chloe likes to put things in her mouth to sooth her gums. Her front teeth, two upper teeth and two lower teeth can now be seen quite clearly.
As Chloe grows older, she has become more responsive to our funny gestures, smiling, swaying and shaking (sometimes quite violently) when Daddy and Mommy do a funny sound, made a funny face, or sing a funny song (with a funny action to boot). That said, she is still not that comfortable with strangers, and worse, she is still on the verge of tears everytime we go to great-grandmother's house on Sunday evenings. We have to bring her out more often to help her overcome her discomfort with strangers, or people she knows, but just dun see that often.
We did bring Chloe to my office this week to visit Daddy's office, since Daddy's colleagues had mostly not seen Chloe before, not in person at least. Other than making some sounds of displeasure when somebody wants to try to carry her, the whole thing went pretty well in fact. She took to the new environment pretty well and didn't seem like she was going to cry any moment.
Last but not least, a little video of her taken last week.
That's all folks. Come back to check out her blog for more updates soon.
