4 months updates

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.

on all fours!


all happy and smiley with my new play gym, thanks to kai jin!
