The source of joy at home turned 8 month-old (almost a month ago ><) and it will not be long before she turns big ol 1
At 8 month-old, Alexa:
- is able to stand with support
- is able to pull herself up to a standing position using a furniture or us
- loves pulling herself up, sits down, pulls herself up and sits down and it goes on and on and on
- indicates wants with gesture (eg, while she is seated & whenever Fong goes near her, she will pull Fong's hands towards her and raise her hands to be carried by him never fails to melt Fong
- started to lift herself onto her knees but she is not able to crawl yet
- started to work on her pincer grasp, picking up stuffs with her index finger and thumb when we feed her finger food
- pushes away what she doenst want
- is able to chew on fruits (peach, apple, plum etc) using a feeder teether
- is able to imitate others' activities (eg, when we bob our head, she will follow suit)
- is able to put/drop balls into a container
- holds and drinks from a sippy cup
Alexa absolutely loves to travel and goes out on an outing. She will get really excited whenever she sees us taking out her car seat. To her, car seat = going out. She loves to watch her surroundings when she is out and she will wave/flail her arms and legs in excitement whenever she sees something interesting. She loves to be carried facing outward :)
And this other activity that excites her too is her bathtime! She does not mind water streaming down her face though she does look distressed but after rubbing/wiping the water from her eyes, she will look up and grin widely! She loves kicking and splashing in the tub leaving me soaked to the skin :D
She has started to fake coughs and cries to get things done and it worked on us in the beginning but not anymore :p
