Time really goes by sooooo fast. Just a few posts ago I was complaining about this baby kicking and kicking me inside the tummy. Now he is a big, strong boy and unfortunately still kicking and kicking.
He is adorable though. Sean has the cutest smile ever. He is so cute I’m tempted to enter him into some baby contests… Haha, yes I am a besotted mother.
The little dimple that appears when he breaks into a grin is irresistable. All of us, including Keira jie jie can’t help but smile back.

At five months old, Sean just learnt how to rollover. So now, everytime we put him down, he will flip and pop his head up, big eyes looking around alertly.
He is learning how to grab things too. Reaching his chubby hands out to grab whatever comes within reach. And of course, stuff it into his mouth. He can actually play with toys. i say this like I sound surprised because Keira was never into baby toys. This little tiger is tho.

Today, he also did something quite cute. Well, if you aren’t a parent of a baby you wouldn’t find it very exciting, but I thought it was very amusing. Sean reached out to me and patted me on the arm over and over again. As if trying to get my attention.
Quite advanced behaviour (says the besotted mother
).
From what I can tell, he is developing faster on all points compared to Keira at the same age.
The one thing he is slower at is sleeping longer at night. He is STILL on a 2-3 hour cycle, whereas Keira at this age I believe was only waking up once at night.
I’m still breastfeeding, but starting to teach him to drink formula from a bottle. Maybe he will sleep longer with formula.
I think he is also actually ready to start eating solids. Cos he stares and stares at us when we eat. And when Keira cheekily tries to offer him something he wants to eat it.
So time for me to start puree-ing food again soon!
His daytime naps aren’t very long. At the moment he is having four 30 min to 1 hour naps in the day, then sleeping from 9.30pm to approx 8.30am (he will wake up for milk then go back to sleep again).
And he’s trying to talk. Mostly “Aaah, aaah ooo”. Sometimes “Aa ge” and other sweet cooing sounds.
That’s Sean boy’s 5 month old update. Can’t believe he is almost 6 months old and can start eating real food soon. Slow down boy, slow down!
