Milestone: From Sitting to Crawling Position
Date: 31 October 2007 - Wednesday
Racia is 7 Months, 3 weeks and 6 days old today

Racia has been learning to crawl for the past few weeks. However, she has been having a bit of a difficulty moving from sitting to crawling position. Thus far, Racia always falls flat on her face whenever she tries to crawl from her sitting position.

Today, mummy noticed that Racia seemed to have finally realised that in order to not not to fall flat on her face, Racia needs to tuck in her legs before changing to the crawling position.

Mummy is confident that in about a weeks time, Racia should have not problem launching to crawl from siting.

Next step, from tummy to sitting position?

Racia's hair is finally long enough to be tied up!

Mummy had fun tying Racia's hair into two little pony tails today. She used two tiny flower ties and also the Gymboree hair curlies which Mummy bought when Racia was only 3 months old!

Look how cute she is!

Mummy have been diligently teaching Racia how to wave Bye Bye for the past month. Mummy finds that Racia still do not really know how to wave and not really grasping it.

However, mummy realised today that there is actually a hand sign that Racia seemed to have picked up without anyone teaching her! This really surprised mummy as she realised that Racia has known this 1st Hand sign for more than a month already.

Racia says: I want Bao Bao !

Racia had her first taste of porridge for lunch today!

Lovingly cooked for her by Nai Nai, the porridge included the following ingredients:

1) Threadfin
2) Chinese Spinach aka Heng Cai
3) Potato
4) Carrot (we decided to try a bit of carrots again to check for allergy)

This is the first that that Racia is trying meat and as usual, Racia showed a funny face when she first tasted the porridge. Racia ate a total of about 20 baby spoonz before she lost interest and started fussing.

Mummy is really glad that Racia did not reject the taste of the porridge because of the meat and fish used.

Milestone: Flipping onto Back from Tummy
Date: 5 October 2007 - Friday
Racia is 7 Months, 1 day old today

Racia finally learned how to turn from her tummy to lie on her back!

For quite a long while, Racia did not know how to turn to lie on her back from her tummy position, thus, she always fusses and made lots of noise when she is tired from her tummy position.
Mummy has spent countless times, rushing to help Racia to flip her onto her back.

With much stronger neck muscle and back coordination, Racia can now flip onto her back unassisted.

Milestone: First Tooth
Date: 3 October 2007 - Wednesday
Racia is 6 Months, 4 weeks and 1 day old today

Racia has a tooth!!

Mummy found a little white tooth errupting from Racia's gums during her bath today.

The tooth is located on the lower front left side of Racia's gums.

Mummy thinks that this could be the reason why Racia has been fussing quite a bit recently.

Mummy now needs to start training Racia on proper and correct oral hygiene practice i.e. brushing of her tooth after every meal!

Milestone: Swimming in the Baby Pool
Date: 01 October 2007 - Monday
Racia is 6 Months, 3 weeks and 6 days old today

Aunty Jean invited Mummy and Racia to her sister's place - Sims Ville at Paya Lebar for a swim session today.

This is the first time that Racia tries swimming in the pool. Actually its more playing with water / waddling in the baby pool.

Aunty Jean kindly loan Racia a baby swim suit and she also bought a Hello Kitty bucket and watering can for Racia to play at the pool.

The water was quite cold but Racia loves being in it. Very soon, she was splashing away and playing with the buckets and bath toys which Aunty Jean brought.

Mummy only let Racia stay in the water for 10 mins. When Racia was brought out of the water, Racia actually protested very loudly.

Mummy is glad that Racia had a really fun Children's Day at the pool.
