First half year of my Life

Posted by admin On August - 21 - 2008 8 COMMENTS
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.

Too early for a walker?

They bought me a walker with a red, yellow and white colors. Is this too early for a five months old baby like me? When I’m using this instead of moving forward I’ll do it backward. At first I was delighted but when they push the button in front of me I’ll cry because I hear the voice of different animals and it scares me.

  • I watches moving people and gazes across a room.
