Gareth At 7 Months

Gareth started waving goodbye and clapping his hands vigorously when he was 6 months 1 week old. When he was 6.5 months, his first word was "Ma Ma". It's a pity Mum isn't around. Otherwise she would be so delighted to be the first person Gareth calls. Greg used to call Papa first before Mama. Some people say that if the baby says Papa first, then it's likely that he/ she would be closer to the father than mother when he/ she grows up. Hmm... not too sure if there's any truth to such logic or not.

Right now, Gareth has also begun making attempts to crawl. He tends to go backwards or if not make a huge lurge forward. Unlike Greg, Gareth has been having bad constipation. I have tried so hard to increase his vegetables, water and fruits intake, but somehow he would only clear his bowels at best every two days. He can get so badly constipated that his faeces are often "stuck". Sigh.. hence I have decided to really go very slow on his solids intake.

I would be starting work in July. It's definitely something that I have been looking forward to but at the same time, I am somewhat worried. I guess it's the similar kind of anxiety any student experiences before their school reopens after a long vacation. Kekeke... I hope all goes well...and ahem, July marks the end of my "taitai" lifestyle liau.
