I’m sooooo proud of my baby… At 7 months, Aren...
- has gained weight from 6.5 lbs. to 10.3 kgs. (almost as heavy as an LPG tank, tatay says)
- has stopped breastfeeding but has increased his formula intake from 2oz to 6oz. (P800 every 6 days huhuhu)
- has outgrown nightly colic. (no moooooooooooore crying bouts!)
- developed and shrunk his inborn hydrocele. (buti nalang, diba lolo? *wink*)
- has turned from very dark-skinned to fairer than his mommy. (haaayyy buti nalang talaga!)
- sleeps through the night and wakes up for a bottle only once (yey for mommy!)
- has outgrown two bassinets and one crib. (Two to go!)
- has graduated from newborn, to small, to medium diapers! (EQ Dry is the brand for us!)
- has attended a swimming party and a Jollibee birthday (with a photo with no less than the bee himself!)
- has increased his vitamins from .3 to .6 ml. (no more natural protection from mommy)
- has started eating cereals. (and a bit of papaya and banana palang... scared pa si lola bigyan sya
ng other foods)- has grown used to the camera. (nice poses for tatay, baby!)
- has developed on-off face rashes, flaky dry skin at his back, and minor colds. (Allergies my dear)
- has learned the all-fours position, and mastered sitting unsupported (and flip through both positions in a matter of seconds!)
- can also stand on two legs just being supported on the hands (but of course for a few seconds only)
- can laugh at the slightest funny face or sound (and even slap whoever is carrying him!)
- can hold his bottle by himself (and finish 6oz in 5minutes!)
- can grasp big toys (and put them in his mouth!)
- has had his first bleeding incident (via a toy cutting through his gums, and mommy went crazy with panic!)
- has had his first fall from the bed (c/o lola nits hehe, but no broken bones or bukol whatsoever, don’t worry!)
- has started babbling (with different volumes and tones at that!)
- has learned to appreciate new sounds and sights. (so many sights to see ba, baby?)
- has had a passport photo taken (very behaved!)
- has visited Lolo Roger at Loyola twice. (although the first time, it rained!)
- turns around when he is called by name. (Aren that is, not Ardelio Endrino though)
- can turn moving parts of his toys with his little fingers. (so cute hand skill!)
- has developed an attachment to a stuffed toy and a pillow (Simba was tatay’s gift to me!)
- has his own ATM card, c/o Ninang Christy (laman nalang ang kulang, tatay!)
- has his own insurance/trust fund (yearly ang hulog tatay ha!)
- has “blown” 7 month-birthday candles (and defaced his 6th month cake!)
Here's looking forward to more milestones!
