8 mths old and counting!

Today, I am 8 mths old!

Mummy cant believe how fast I have grown from a puny 2.8kg little bundle of joy, to a 9kg big bundle!

What i can do so far :

- standing with support
- sitting without support
- crawling backwards
- rolling like a barrel and flipping like a roti prata
- babbling papa, mama, ne ne
- apparently said 'bao4 bao4' and stuck my arms up to be carried (mummy isnt too sure this is considered a word since i have not repeated that on cue)
- can walk in all directions in walker except forwards (DUH!!)
- look towards appropriate objects/pp when asked where they are
- throw tantrums!! (even managed to scare mummy once!)
- hmm... and a lot more which mummy cant seem to recall liao :P

I have also started to display significant separation anxiety from mummy, and only want mummy to carry esp towards the evenings, or when I am tired or hungry. Mummy is only too pleased to oblige most of the time as it is really an ego boost for her!

I have also tried and tasted quite a lot of food so far. Must really thank mummy for making the effort to puree food for me over the weekends as she doesnt really believe in giving me bottled purees unless there is no choice- eg overseas.

What I love to eat :
Apple, pear, nectarine, papaya, banana, prune, sweet potato, pumpkin, HT oatmeal/barley/brown rice cereal, baby bites (carrot flavoured - courtesy of aunty eileen!) and of cos, Mummy's milk!

What I HATEEEEE... :
potato, sweet peas, heinz organic rice cereal, plain porridge (bleagh..),spinach,

Food I dont care about but will still eat with a yawn :
avocado, egg yolk, carrot, jar food (tried Gerber prunes, HT oatmeal/banana/peach, HT apple/sweet potato so far), tofu, corn, asparagus, broccoli, water!
