It's amazing how much babies are programmed to grow and learn in their first year of life. Within 5 months, I am already preparing myself to crawl. For a start, the signs are there with me being a more efficient "flipper" and I can inch backwards as well as turn around like a clock. And tummy time has taken on a new dimension now that I have picked up this new stunt - "flying like an aeroplane" as Mommy calls it.
I can see farther too and am getting more accurate as I reach out to grab hair, T-shirt and basically any object within my radar! Ouch... it can get really painful as my grip is firm so do watch out!
And best of all, things have finally fallen into a more predictable routine during daytime as previously my naptime are haywire. Now, a typical day will begin at approximately
7am - Milk Feed #1 (170ml)
9am - Morning Nap (1 hr)
10am - Morning Bath
1045am - Milk Feed #2 (170ml)
12pm - Afternoon Nap (1 hr+/-)
230pm - Milk Feed #3 (170ml)
3pm - Late Afternoon Nap (1 hr+/-)
630pm - Milk Feed #4 (170ml)
730pm - Evening Bath
830pm - Bedtime
11pm - Milk Feed #5 (200ml) - dream feed cos half of the time I am still sleeping!
That's quite a large amount of milk I consumed... but I don't finish my milk all the time =P and partly it explains why I belong to the high percentile group in terms of weight.
At 5 months, I already weigh 8.15kg and measure 67cm long.
