Month 8

We got invited to our very first pool party during our 8th month. Swe-cha got scared of the water at first - Mommy isn't sure if it's because of the chill or if it was just something new but something made him cry. He did warm up to the water eventually and loved playing and splashing around.

Milestone-wise, this is when Swe-Cha first learned to sit (unsupported) by himself. He had started crawling last month and would just pause to play with his toys while on his belly or on his hip, Mommy thought he would just skip the sitting stage and go on to standing but it wasn't the case. There were some amusing moments when he would try to get to a book but wouldn't be able to get it because he'd be sitting on it, then he'd cry for Mommy's help.

Swe-cha also discovered the joys of tearing paper during his 8th month. Mommy, on the other hand, discovered that it's not wise to leave Swe-cha with paper as he would try to eat them.

He drank from a sippy cup for the very first time (water), grew his 3rd and 4th tooth and graduated from his infant car seat to his big-boy-convertible-car-seat but he still faces the rear though.
