tales from the crib

I haven't talked about AJ that much lately... an inserts of him here and there but not a dedicated post. So I've decided to give updates on my little hunky doodle dahling.

From his pedia visit (3 weeks ago) he's growing at normal rate and thank God not over weight. Now at 61 cm and 6.8 kilos.

Sleeping: He sleeps soundly and longer at night now but still wakes up for feeding (usually 2 to 3 am). He's been my alarm clock for the past weeks since he wakes up at 5am on the dot. With his bright round eyes gazing at me, I can no longer doze back to sleep so I end up talking and playing with him until its time for me to go hit the shower.

Baby Talk: He's very talkative as well.. he responds everytime you speak to him with gurgles and coos. It's so entertaining and makes everyone amused. I even recorded on my mobile phone one of his monologue. (wanted to upload it here but the size is too big :( )

Baby's day out: He also loves being in his stoller. You can see the excitement in his eyes when he is being changed and place in his stroller. Seems like this smart kiddo of mine knows that he's going out.

Who's the fairest of all? : He loves mirrors too. First he stares at his reflection then grins and stare again and grin again...hahaha! He's a crazy baby...but I love his crazyness to death!

Teething: His fingers are his best friend. They are always there if he needs their helping hand whenever his gums hurt or even just for entertainment. He's slowly learning to suck on only one finger (his thumb), but still manages to put all 5 fingers in his mouth.

Grab it: He's yet to master his grabbing skills but I know he'll get there soon. He can only hold his bottle for a few seconds.

Roll over: He is also mastering his rolling over. He has yet to learn to remove his arm under his chest when he rolls over and lands on his tummy. His cute face is such a sight when asking for help.

Stand up: He enjoys standing up (with our help of course) and making those stationaty baby steps. I can't want for him to walk so I can take him wherever I want to... I can hear his squeaky shoes as he walks..hehehehe!

AJ's celebrating his 4th month birthday on Friday the 13th and I'm so excited to see his new milestones.
