Preston is 5 months old

Yesterday was Preston's 5 month old birthday. He has grown from a tiny little new born to a big baby now. Some updates of Preston:

> He weighs 7.5 kg now, doesn't gain much weight since last month, but he looks healthy and chubby.

> I have started him on a bit of solid food, i.e. infant cereal, he seems to like it a lot. However, feeding him cereal is a really messy affair. All three of us smell like cereal after the meal.

> He is teething already since last 2 weeks. Two lower front teeth are sprouting out from his gum. Therefore he drools like a water tap, a fresh bib can only last him for five minutes. He bites every thing he can get hold of, even tissue paper.

> He knows how to flip from back to tummy, he will flip non-stop if he is on the bed. However, he cannot flip the other way round. He has more urge to start crawling than to flip back.

> He is counting his fingers! We have been teaching him to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with his fingers. We noticed that he is counting his fingers today... so cute, even though he still cannot control his fingers.

> He stretches like a yoga master, he loves biting his toes!

Happy 5 months old, Preston!

Flipping

Preston demonstrate that he's able to flip on his own.

He loves it and keep flipping. However, he's having hard time - cos he can't flip back so he's very tired. But he still likes to flip and cry to signal us to help him flip back.

Just like turtle :)

Preston is 4 months old

Preston is 4 months old now. Actually slightly older than that. He has been keeping his mama so busy that she has no time to upload his blog (yeah right ;) just an excuse, baby.)

Ok, here are some updates of him:

> He doesn't gain much weight since he hit the 6.5kg mark last month.

> He starts teething! Yes, he has got his first tooth already, it seems a bit early? The day is 5th Aug 2006.

> He is very naughty nowadays, I mean very very naughty. He will not stop moving when he is awake.

> He really has the sense of music and beats... He will "dance" whenever he hears music and tend to "sing".

> He doesn't ang goo so much nowadays, he uses all kind of self-invented vocab.

> He doesn't know how to flip yet, he can only do the half flip, not a full one... hrmmm...
