7 mos


in a blink of eyes, Zethan turn 7 months a week back. Okay just a figure of speech but seriously figured that very soon he will be One!

in terms of food, Zethan is doing great with exception of milk feed which can improve for 1-2 weeks before dipping again. Suspect he's cutting tooth again most probably the top front incisors? List of homemade purees (fruits and vegetables) he tried till date in order of his preferences (favourites to least).

- Butternut Squash
- Avocado
- Papaya
- Carrot
- Sweet Potato
- Apples
- Peas

Pears, chinese spinach and Australian pumpkins in the pipeline. He love his cereals be it plain/brown rice (Healthy Times, Organix, Heinz, Earth Best) or oatmeal cereals (Happy Bellies, Earth Best).

Milestones under his belt.
- flipped in all directions (even in sarong)
- sit unsupported for short period of time (wobbly still)
- Babbling; smile, giggle, scream, shout (his forte!)
- 2 lower incisors
- grapsing and most if not all goes into his mouth
- toes grabbing and sucking. perhaps due to perspiration which taste saltish, he gives a sulky face at times.
- standing (of cos with support, his favourite pastime)
- wave goodbye. well mummy and grandma is convinced that he did wave goodbye which is hard flapping his left hand.
- twinkle lil star. action of open and close of his lil hands which is supposed to resemble baby sign for milk but mummy did not teach him baby signs so no slightest idea where he pick it up. http://babystrology.blogspot.com/2008/03/baby-sign-language-milk.html


by comparison with improvements needed during 6th month blog.

- fine motor skill (improved, reaching out for items he is keen in)
- Car Seat (can't complained more, at most whipped out the ultimate tutu and stinky pillow which works in keeping him occupied)
- Milk feeds (yoyoing still!)
- weight (YES, hit 8kg and slightly more which is like a bonus)

current list of what's requiring improvements.
- Crawling. Still no signs of leopard crawling or on fours.
- Milk feeds. what's next anyway, next!
- stranger anxiety. cling to mummy like koala bear in strange environment. out of sight result in loud pathetic sobbing.
- socialising. Zethan took a long while to warm up and socialise be it adults or with babies.
- short tempered. Yes he is showing his temper oready especially displeasure, out loud!
