Milestone: Luca @7months

Luca is 7 months now and we all spent it together in Sweden!!!

Weight: 8.5kg

Here's what I've been noticing....

- hates sitting without support (and still topples over after at most 1/2minute!); enjoys jumping and be on his feet more

- likes to sit up on the babysitter; no longer enjoys to be in the reclining position

- crawls alittle then lunges forward

- when placed on all fours, likes to lean over to one side to a half-seated position

- on semi-solids (diet now consists of rice cereals, carrots, avocado and apples, all pureed)

- accepts new foods really well; taking at most 3 days to accept a new taste

- can self-soothe most of the times; a (left-)thumb sucker

- his two bottom teeth are out and he's started to bite me during feeding. OUCH!!!!!

what cuteness!

Met up with Fredrik and Caroline and the kids for brunch at The Tanglin Tree. It serves really good food, very baby-friendly (although we left Luca at my folks'!!!) and totally laid back! Just what we needed... a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon.

Toys A Month sent Luca his Rainforest Jumperoo 2 days ago. This is one of the latest in the market and it took me all 3 credits for this 1 toy;) It's so fun to be him!

taste comes first!

Another first for Luca: Lanterns

My sis- and brother-in-law are back from China for vacation and we all met up for dinner at The Central's Watami last Saturday.

Watami serves really decent stuff and service is great!

Coincidentally, it was Mid-Autumn... and Luca's grandpa bought him his first mini lantern!

trying to get a taste of his first lantern

We were lucky to get a window seat and managed to catch the fireworks on the promenade of Clarke Quay!

fireworks.... but Luca had fallen asleep

Back to lanterns. Lanterns these days are just so amazing. I thought the ones with music are pretty trendy... but check out this (very raw!) video! It's one of the twin's lantern... this bug not only shines, it sings, moves, and flaps its wings!

Luca's first encounter with the bug!

Last Friday, mama Carol took a day off cus it was Children's Day at the infant care for Ethan. We decided to bring the kids out to the Botanical Gardens.

Luca getting impatient waiting for Ethan! hah hah!

Had a really nice lunch at Casa Verde although Luca needed to be carried all the time!!!! But I'm used to his 'clingy-ness'... and it wasn't so bad cus he soon fell asleep on my lap!!!
