7 Months Old

And she's 7 months old today :)

Baby C now takes semi-solids in addition to her milk. She has tried carrot, broccoli, pumpkin, apple, sweet potato, avocado and potato. Her favorite is broccoli and sweet potato. And she purses her lips at potatoes. Ha, wait till she discovers Mac french fries. I've also given her brown rice porridge. It went down well the first few times but subsequently she started to turn away from it. One sign that she is growing, learning and figuring out her likes and dislikes. Feeding her her broccoli is so different from feeding her brown rice. Baby will keep her eyes fixed on the person feeding her and her mouth will be open for the next spoonful. When it is something she does not like, she'll be turning her head this way and that, wanting to play and her mouth will remain tightly closed.

Hamie has also started moving. It isn't exactly crawling but she can get from one place to another. The cutest bit is when she is on her hands and knees and rocking her cute little tush back and forth trying to move forward. She has yet to figure out that she has to move her hands in order to go forward. Despite this, she manages to launch herself forward, thereby moving herself closer to her toy.

She's also much better at holding her bottle. DaddyHam makes her hold her own bottle when she drinks her water and she understands that she is meant to hold it with both hands. She's also able clasp her hands in front of her. Looks like she's all prepared to wish everyone a going xi fa cai!
