Erika's World

The first thing that make me smile from the time I wake up every morning is when I see the smallest Pooh bear I have on my bedside, it makes me more happy when mom make her voice sounds funny as if the baby bear greets me a good morning …. playing with this stuff toy my day begins.

I just turned 8 months old last Thursday and finally at this age I’m enjoying the crawling stage unlike before that I easily cry. Also on this age you will notice a mole on my left chin and left shoulder are starting to appear.

Meanwhile at this seasons you will enjoy the sight of Cosmos flowers in the neighborhood, this is a good place for strolling.

Seven months old baby that is me. My ears grow bigger whenever a  visitor came into our house and tells me ” Oh you’re such a fast learning baby, you can now walk at a very young age huh!” they said that to me while seeing   me walking and running around the house with my walker ,  I can now walk sideways and forward. using my walker. That compliment makes me more active and more naughty grabbing things I can reach while visitors watching me lol maybe I’m just a showy type of person and  whenever visitors came into our house it makes me happy.

They just didn’t know that I still can’t crawl, I easily cry when I’m on crawling position …  maybe because  my hands are not free to play with the toy that is why I feel uncomfortable. I want to sit or stand while playing and holding a toy. Or maybe I’m just a lazy kind of girl which is bad. I enjoy roll over when I’m on bed , reach some toys, move on a round motion and cry after a few minutes.

Anyway they say babies are unique individual,  some even at the same age may grows differently  some may have the ability to do something  in advance to the others. Like me I still can’t crawl  or maybe I’m just too young to do crawling… but honestly I’m on doubt.

Babies grow really fast, my mother just can’t believe that I’ve already spent half year of my life. Mom have this idea of  keeping my picture every month so that she  can easily see how my personality changes every month.  So can you spot the difference?

I had my DPT vaccine (Diphtheria?Pertussis?Tetanus) last saturday August 16 and will be back in the hospital for the second injection of this vaccine on September 6. It hurts huh!

Well, being a six month old baby  mom can easily tell now that I’m a right handed baby because I’m always using  my left hand in grabbing things and holding something directly to my month. Lately I have this manner of pulling everything wherever my hand reaches that is why you can always see falling objects inside my room.

Some situation me and mom have misunderstanding were during diaper change she have a hard time to change my diaper because I want to roll over right away from the moment she put me down so all I have to do is cry during this time. And oh! before I forget she is worried because I’m crying or laughing  almost always on a high pitch, she forgives me on the noise I made by thinking I will be a  great singer someday. But a part of her mind is  worrying not knowing whether I’m growing  normally or not , some says that I’m just trying to communicate by shouting. Another thing is that you can hear me crying but easily laugh when someone teases me which results crying and laughing at the same time like crazy .LOL.

I just wish I can speak soon so that I can express myself in words.

Since I turned 5 months old mom introduces me to another thing that is starting solid foods. She knows that I’m ready for solid food because I”m always watching her while eating with a mouth open. First solid she tried to give me was a rice cereal she said that is recommended for baby to be the first solid food to eat because of low risk of allergies.

My first reaction after she put the food inside my mouth was seconds of funny gestures unto my face while on the second serving I slowly chewed the food and the rest of the feedings was exciting. Lately she gives me variety food like potato and carrots. She boil it first then pureed it by a blender to ensure that I will not be choke while eating. We have also an infant canned food to be serve when she had no time to make a homemade one.
Now, my moms problem is that she doesn’t know whether I’m full or not because I’m not refusing every serves she gives, I don’t even turn my head nor close my mouth. I always open my mouth and cry for more ……

This was my photo when I turned five months old. This is a stolen shot while playing with Dad. There are times when mom jokingly says to my dad that maybe her real baby is not me … maybe accidentally changed in the hospital when I was born. Silly thinking mom. She said that because me and mom never looks the same in any angle. But dad will answered with a big NO because he said that my face is very much looks like him and he is very glad hihihi I don’t know why hes glad maybe because I’m cute. Anyway forget about it because that conversation happens many times.

On the other hand one thing they’re not discussing is about my eyes. I have a big expressive eyes. Both of them love my eyes.
