Month 5

Swe-cha is 5 months old now and he's doing so many things! Last month, when he turned 4 months old, he started turning and turning and turning. He wouldn't stop! On the day that he turned 5 months old, he turned from his back onto his tummy and then turned onto his back again - a complete 360 degree turn! yay!

One night, he surprised Mommy & Daddy by turning onto his tummy (and sort of panicked them too) and sleeping. We'd push him back to sleep on his back but he would go back to sleeping on his stomach again. Eventually, we let him be as he seemed to be very comfortable with this new position but we watched over him for the next few hours to make sure that he's still okay and that he is able to breathe easily (nothing obstructing his airways). He can be found sleeping on his tummy on most nights now.

Last month's update includes a comment about making him spend more time on his tummy to develop and strengthen his upper body muscles. This plan seems to have worked as he's doing a lot of mini-pushups now. When I leave him in his bassinet, he would turn over to his tummy and push his shoulders and head up really high so that he can peek over the sides to look for Mommy.

Activity-wise, he can stay and amuse himself longer on his exersaucer now - sometimes, long enough for mommy to be able to prepare and make dinner. He also likes to watch more Baby Einstein videos now. He started with the "Orchestra - First Instruments" and "On the Go" videos. Now, he likes to watch the Baby Noah (animals) and Baby Neptune (Discovering Water) videos too. He also has a sense of humor now, he would laugh consistently at certain funny scenes in the videos.

Swe-cha knows how to kiss but so far, he's only kissed Mommy (no kissing other girls for now). He would make a "mmm-a" sound and slobber all over Mommy's cheek when asked. Ang cute.

We would sometimes look at his baby pictures and we are amazed at how much his looks have changed since he was born, he's got such big round eyes too! Winner :)
