Yeah, finally Chloe crawls on knees and crawls faster. She likes to explore around in the house so Mama needs to guard her now.

9 months, that was how long Chloe in my tummy. And now another 9 months passed, she is a crawler whom is learning to walk and stand. Feel satisfied seeing her growing, but hard to get satisfaction from being a home maker. >< Trying to get the fun from it but is not that easy while doing routine housework and baby care day by day...

By chance I read this blog, and discovered many many childcare info from there then I learnt about this Dr Denmark. Therefore I am interested on her recommended baby food, thus I did google, apparently not only Taiwanese mummies follow the recipe but also Caucasian, of course it is a westernized recipe but it makes me trust more as both East and West tried it. ^^

Like I mentioned, after started solid food, which is the traditional plain porridge with vege and fish meat, Chloe reduced her appetite and losing her interest in eating solid. Luckily I found this amazing recipe and solved the irritating feeding problem. ^^

The disaster for 7th month is Chloe had bad flu (doctor said already showed early bronchitis symptoms), so she nearly sicked for whole month, cough and runny nose up and down plus feverish. Slept not tight, bad temper, runny nose, chesty cough... when baby sicks, parents would not be able to rest well too. Furthermore, cw sicked and then Chloe spread to me also... However, now seems fully recovered, hopefully the flu doesn't come back again, at least, not so soon.

Btw, new milestone, 7 mth wk 1, Chloe was able to sit on her own from crawling position, thus now she can sit steadily without suport.

7 mth wk 2, Chloe first tried to stand with support. Now she can stand quite fast from crawling to kneel down position then stand. Currently she tries move her steps and exploring more places to stand. Guess, walking is not too far away from her. ^^

After being a mother, many things around me and hubby changed. We are not free to do anythings we like, we can't watch few movies a month, we can't go for travel that often, we can't sleep through at night, we can't sleep till 11am during weekend... many many more. I am also changed, from being a wife to a mother whose life with baby-oriented. I can't say all these made me regret to have a kid but sometimes do have grumble. However, after these 7++ months for being a mother,  I am getting used to all these changes. Whenever not enough sleep or boring, I will look at this adorable baby of mine and tell myself to move on! :)

The greatest achievement this month is Chloe knows to crawl! Yeah, finally she figured out how to crawl forward, even though still with tummy on floor but she can be quite fast if there is something she is really eagerly to reach for. And Chloe also joined the first 'run' in her life, but was the mummy and daddy did the 'run' for her. Lol. Oh ya, Chloe is having two little whites now! So please don't call her 'Boh-geh' anymore. Ha ha.

Just thinking to share some must/good/so-so buys for baby...kee kee :)

I just realized that this is also my first run..ha ha. Brian signed us up for Metta Charity Run so we woke up early in the morning to join the 'run' at East Coast. It was fun but was me did the 'run' for Chloe. Ha ha, by the way, is really a good experience. ^.^
