Up

about more than week back, Zethan started pulling himself up standing unnoticed by mummy till grandma point it out. he should be 8.5 months old marking this milestone.

Now that's the disadvantage of being a FTWM (full time working mum), missing out tons of baby's milestone! but what to do, most of the average household require both parents to bring home bread. the increasingly price of babys' necessities certainly doesn't help either.

Zethan had turned out to be super agile these days by pulling himself up in his playpen, pulling himself out of the bumbo seat. this is likely to contribute to his stagnant weight which stay put at 8.8kg despite healthy itake of solids and milk feeds.

once placed on the bumper playmat, the FP grand piano double up as a 'standing aid'. instead of the intended purpose of the piano, it's much more fully utilized as a tool to help him pull himself up. upon standing, he will shift his weight and his movements carefully to the couch where he is likely to remain standing for quite a while.

he finds great excitement and enjoyment in pulling himself standing so much so that he 'resist' the idea of crawling though he isn't very good at it. well, not much opportunity for 'practise makes perfect' in this scenario.

more bumps and cuts to be expected, grandma suggest to grab a Zambak for that purpose.
