9 mos

woo wee, the lil guy turn 9 mos today!

mummy was totally overwhelmed with emotion at TMC today recalling exactly 9 months back, the happenings in the labour suite and how the lil bundle of joy was handed to her. A wave of emotion swarm over her which brought her close to tears.
back to reality! Zethan 'dance' today and made everybody roaring with laughter. boy wasn't he adorable. a pity it was not caught on video.
some of the milestones marked over the past month.

1) crawling - with a tinge of feeling skeptical, Zethan start to explore crawling on the bumper mat which greatly resemble that of a monitor lizard. He certainly look clumsy with the big steps he took while crawling.

2) pulling to stand - just out of the blue, he pulled himself to a standing position with some assistance from his toys on the mat. in the process of shifting his weight and steps from point to point. Zethan is very ambitious as he have yet to perfect his skill of standing yet attempting to stand handsfree! of course he only managed about 2 seconds before landing on his bum.

3) Fine motor skill - observed to have great improvement in grasping item and passing from hand to hand. Does high 5 subjected to his mood. to display his displeasure, Zethan's favourite action is to brush it off for example when it comes to food in concern. Very particular when his hands are wet or come in contact with hair, food etc, either he plays with it or he refuse to close his fist.

3) Vocal - a whole tons of baby language, babbling, yelling, screaming etc. Zethan hates it big time when he observe others laughing be it at him or not, once he heard laughter, he get really angry resulting in yells and screams, period.

4) Food - tried most of the vegetables and fruits except for brocolli (high chance of wind generating) and potato (solely carbo thus no benefits to introduce too early). Zethan requires a few attempts at any one food before he can accept it readily. today he started having pork porridge and according to grandma, he heart it lots.

5) Fickle minded - easily distracted by toys around him. simply can't decide what he wish to play with thus have the best of both worlds or rather all worlds. A classic example being fiddling with the floor gym's piano and the Grand Piano at the same time. wonder if this indicate a short attention span. Zethan can readily give up anything he is pursuing and divert his attention showing no signs of being persistent.

6) musically inclined - or so mummy observed, Zethan is pretty sensitive to music and rhythm and he can drop whatever he is doing when a certain advertisement / music is on. it could be a little too early to tell.
that more or less sums it up for Zethan's progress or developments. mummy is so looking forward to his 1 Year old birthday! any celebration in the pipeline? no doubts about it.
