Updates on Hannah’s First Year Milestones

First Month: She smiled.

Second Month: Started to mimick sounds of words, e.g. ‘er le’, ‘ok lah’. Slept through the night. Started to gain better support of her head.

Third Month: Started to giggle. Mumbled what sounded like ‘mommy’. Stuck out her hand to do the superman pose. Responded to mobile by tracking its movements with her eyes.

Fourth Month: Turning over to her belly and vice versa. Able to nap longer. Shed a lot of her baby hair; almost went bald! Took a dip at our baby pool. Started to splash water in her bath tub.

Fifth Month: Started to support her body on all fours. Able to pull up her legs and suck her toes.

Sixth Month: Started on solid foods, mainly vegetables. Able to play by herself in her playpen for as long as 2 hours! Had her first Christmas.

Seventh Month: Adapted well to Infant Care Centre. Able to sit up unsupported. Started to crawl, eh with 2 hands and 1 foot and 1 kneecap. Called ‘daddy’ clearly. Started to eat fish. Overcome a flu infection.

Eight Month: Able to pull herself up to standing position using surrounding physical support. Said ‘bath’. Raised her arms to be carried. Allowed mommy to trim her nails without much fidgeting. Started to eat chicken. Used crying method to get mommy’s and daddy’s attention (she had her own ‘wailing wall’ in her cot). Had diarrhoea and recovered. Had her first CNY celebration.

Here’s a video below of Hannah in her usual happy self taken yesterday afternoon. She can stand on her own in her cot now.
