Our little prince is 8 months old

My little boy turns 8 months old today. Can’t believe it. 8 months has passed since the day he was born. And not to mention, the 9 months of anxiety before he was born when we were told of the risk of a Down Syndrome baby. God is good and He blessed us with a perfectly normal and healthy baby.

It is a great joy to see how he has grown. He smiles a lot and very playful. He loves to go for a walk outside. Whenever I have the time, I would bring him for a walk either before I set off to my office or in the evening when I come back from work. He would be leaping for joy (of course he couldn’t leap yet but he would be kicking his legs and hands actively) whenever I carry him knowing that it is time to go for a walk. As if he knows how to read the time, when it is the usual time to go for a walk, he would be restless and whining. When carried, he would reach his hands for the door.

At this stage, he still prefers breastmilk to formula milk. Good thing that he is okay with milk bottle now (he rejected the bottle when mummy goes to work after maternity). We have been slowly exposing him to formula milk bit by bit because the breastmilk supply is getting low. Hoping that by the time the breast milk runs out, he would have not problem switching to formula milk.

With the little baby around, he dictates the time we sleep, the time we wake up and all our other activities are scheduled around his timing. Well he is the big boss after all
But we thank God for him, our bundle of joy.
