Little Gabriel's Blog: August 2009

Blogger has been a lil' funny or cranky nowadaes (mommie says it's like me). It doesnt allow me to upload any of my *handsome* pictures :| So instead of waiting for it to work, let me just update everyone with what's going on before my tiny brain cannot remember them anymore..

About a week ago (on national day and after), I enjoyed a week alone with my parents. Wai Po and GOng Gong went overseas with my Yiyi, leaving the 3 of us stranded in Singapore. Boy it was such an enjoyable week (the first part at least), because mommie and daddie brought me out almost every other day. But poor mommie and daddie exhausted themselves so much that they haven't brought me out with them to any malls since then. *gulps* The end of that week was quite gloomy too, cos grand aunt passed on, and mommie was upset, and it was made worse cos Wai Po wasnt around. And no, they din get me any milk from China too. Thank god. I wonder what will happen to me if melamine is infused into my body.

I also turned 4 months that week, had my first haircut, my first swim, and had my first BIG family gathering that week. In short, it was an eventful week!

Yups, I was supposed to update what I can do at 4 months. Let me tell u, it's A LOT!

I can hold my head up more steadily now, and I can scream and shout and cry to get what I want.
I hate the bumbo chair and have learnt how to get out of it 5 minutes after the first time i was put in it.
I can drink up to 180ml of milk in 2 hours sometimes, but at other times reject all milk (because I know it comes from the fridge).
Oh btw, I no longer constipate. I can poo up to 5 times a day now, and mommie is missing the days where I use to constipate (adults are really weird). I especially love to poo after a diaper change! ;)
I love to look at people eat, and my favourite hobby nowadaes is looking at mommie eat her bread, crackers and drink her milo, bite her drumstick, savour her ice cream in front of me. I wonder when I can do the same,and I try to tell her I want to eat too, by making chewing movements and drooling much more when I see her eat. But she just doesnt get the hint. SIGH.
I love standing on my feet, with mommie supporting me at my arms, and I wonder when I can stand and run and grab all the food/toys I want and go to places I wish to go to (now, I can only cry for it and sometimes people dont give me what I want).
I am not able to flip yet, but I am able to turn 360degrees face up when mommie wants to change my diaper.
I can grab some things with my hands, and I love pinching mommie real hard when she feeds me or carries me.
I drool a lot and I like to put anything that fascinates me in my mouth. This includes my fingers. I chew them all day and mommie wonders why they are still here.
I love lights, moving fans, cords, and wires, and can look at them ALL day. Mommie is hoping these are not signs of autism.
I can wear clothes meant for babies 6-12 mths, am heavy, and weigh about 6.7kg two weeks ago. Mommie needs to put aside all the bodysuits meant for babies 3-6 months.
I can sleep very little in the day (sometimes only 3 power naps of less than 30mins each) and I love waking up at night to drink milk (because it's cooling -- there's aircon!).

Wow! That's a whole long list of things that I can do. I bet I can do more next month! :)
Stay tune for my pictures (when blogger decides not to be cranky, like me)
