Project Baby: 4 months old


Ju is now 68 centimeters and 8.7 kilograms.  It explains the sore arms I got after taking him on a day out at Universal Studios last Saturday. He is indeed at the most adorable stage of babyhood. At 4 months old, he is active, loud and always in a good mood.  He still sleeps through the night and this month's highlight is he can now roll over by himself and believe me, he likes doing it and doing it a lot. 


It's super cute but the only problem is he does it at night too, and sometimes we have to rescue him at 4am in the morning when he gets stuck. He can't roll back yet. His favourite pastime is still looking at his mobiles -- both the manual and battery-automated one.  He is attracted to trees and the television.  He seems to be always smiling or squealing at the top of his voice. His laugh is a rolling cackle which you can get if you tickle him under the arms.


He can grasp things although his fine motor ability is not quite there yet (all his fingers do is to mostly go down his throat). He likes to grab his feet and when he does this with both hands he looks like a big ball of fat rolls, it's hilarious. He can grasp his rattle and likes to bang hard with his fists so we're careful not to let him bang the rattle at his head (which he's done). He can also do a partial sit-up, like a stomache crunch, when he's in his rocker.  His hair is still shedding, but new hair is growing too. His debut haircut was a hit with everyone.  Oh yes, apart from his body mass index, his other big upgrade is his poo.  Everyday he's been doing a poop so big that it gets everywhere, and I mean EVERYwhere. His Pampers medium is not doing the job anymore. Time for a diaper upgrade. I'm thinking Huggies large.
