Gareth's Developmental Milestone

Gareth turns 6months old today, weighing 8.2kg and his height is 70cm. Physically he's developing fine. Just like any normal 6month old babies, he could flip from back to tummy and vice versa. When he's lying on his tummy and if he sees a toy in front of him and beyond his reach, he would move his buttocks up (like a worm) and lunge forward to grab the toy! Gareth does seem like a very determined boy.

Language wise, he's into baby talk. However, I notice that he could somewhat understand what I talked about. For instance, I taught him where his toy beetle is in the midst of playing with him. His toy beetle is hung just right above his cot, behind where he's sitting. Then I asked for his toy beetle about half an hour later and he could turn to look at it! Amazing isn't it? This goes to show that babies have very good learning capacity... so never underestimate babies' ability to understand our language! I couldn't upload the video which I played and taught him where beetle was because the file was way too huge. I could only put up the video which I asked for the toy half an hour later. See Below.
