Okay, it's time for me to write an update. I figure it's better to write a quick post in English than none in Chinese so here it is. I'll try to post more pictures later.
1. Desmond is now 8+ months old. He still doesn't know how to crawl yet but it's okay. I know as soon as he starts crawling he'll be trouble so I don't mind delaying that for a little bit longer. He just learned to stand holding onto something.
2. We are moving back to Harn's place this weekend!!! Oh my gosh, I am so excited! Desmond will finally get his own room! We'll paint it and decorate it. But most importantly, he can finally learn to fall asleep on his own! Baby - mommy and daddy love you a ton but you really got to learn to how sleep by yourself! I can't even remember when it was the last time I slept for more than 6 hours uninterrupted! Lately, I could barely sleep for 4 without him crying (either because it's too hot, too cold or that I move too much)
3. His second tooth came out (as you can see from my previous post). And... that means he's turned into a biter! He bit me so many times this weekend. I don't know why he doesn't bite daddy, only mommy! =(
4. Everything is "mamama" right now. When he's hungry, happy, sad, frustrated, sleepy, dirty diaper, he babbles "mama". It's really cute to hear him say it but I'm teaching him to start saying "baba" next time he needs a diaper change! ^_^
5. Desmond knows how to wave "bye bye". Well, he only does it sometimes but it's really cute when he does it. He would wave his little hand and open and close his fingers. I think with more practice, he'll master this.
6. He also knows how to give a "kiss". Well, so far, he will only kiss daddy (and sometimes mommy). It's really cute because he always open his mouth and move his face towards Harn until he touches Harn's face, as if he's trying to eat him! haha
7. We went clam-digging this weekend and Desmond LOVES to play with water! We're thinking of taking swimming lessons this summer. Matthew will be going too so they're going to have lots of fun!
8. Oh yes, he's developed "stranger anxiety". We have relatives visiting this past weekend, and Desmond would not let anyone hold him but me, dad or grandpa. He would cry as soon as my aunt took him. Actually, let me correct that - he did let Sarah hold him for a little bit this weekend. We joked that he only lets young and pretty women hold him! haha
9. He's got a BIG tummy! He's still very slender and tall but he's got a big tummy, especially after he eats! Grandma says he looks like an athelete because he's got "little mouse" (muscles) on his arms. Let me try to take a picture of his fat tummy. It feels as if he's gained a lot of weight over the past week or two. He actually feels "heavy" now!
Hmmm... what did I miss?
Daddy, anything else to add?
