It seems to be the trend that when I turned older by another month, I’ll fall sick again. Yes, just when I turned 4 months old, I had the flu again with fever too. This time, I went to see Dr. Lee, my sister’s original pediatrician since my fever kept coming back. Because I was coughing badly, it led to me having an ear infection and I had to be on antibiotics for a week. Mummy was told to come back and see him if my fever don’t go away after 3 days. Luckily, it didn’t but I was coughing for 2 weeks or so. I’m alright now and mummy is keeping her fingers crossed that I don’t fall sick again when I turned 5 months old which is a week away.
I started ‘crawling’ flat down on my tummy over 4 months old but of course I can’t go far. With a lot of effort put in, I’d probably moved a few centimeters. Then I became better at it and now (just over 4 and a half months) I can be on my knees, moving back and forth till I fall all flat down. I can also reach for things I wanna get by this but with a lot of effort still.
My grasping is getting better and whatever I can grab hold of, it will end up in my mouth. If I can’t get things, I will put my finger/s or the whole fist in my mouth, is this a sign of a potential thumb sucker like my sister?! Mummy sure hopes not. I drool a whole lot now as well, always wetting the front of my clothes and thus, the bib-wearing has begun. Luckily, I got some cool hand-me-downs bibs from my sister.
I’m growing at such a speedy rate, mummy is thinking of starting me on solids sooner. She will ask Dr. Koe on this when I go in next weekend for my 5th month checkup. Enjoy some pictures of me first. Mummy was hoping to upload a video of me on my knees but youtube failed on us this time. Will try again later.
already my cher-cher loves me so much in these pics when i was only less than a couple months old
Now, she adores me more that I've become her playmate at home
see, how much my cher-cher loves me!
