By the 7th month, Baby can grasp well with his fingers. He reaches for his toys with his fingers instead of palms. His co-ordination is also improving. He now can bang his hands and loves to pull Mummy's hair and grab Daddy's specs. Just last week, he started pointing with his right index finger, a sign that his pincer grip is about to emerge. He can sit better now though he still needed support. His hands are also strong enough to lift himself up in a press-up position and follow the object he desires. We found out from our staycation that he loves rolling on big and high beds and so Daddy and Mummy bought a new high bed for him to roll on! :)
Diet wise, we introduced him to a variety of food in addition to his staple cereals. He had tried mashed papaya, canned banana puree, baby biscuits, yogurt, homemade avocado puree, crushed fish (2 teaspoons only), porridge and pumpkins puree. I'm very glad that he is eating well and did not reject them like he did to his milk! Milk intake was miserable, it's only the first feed that we could down 150-180ml into him, subsequent feeds were difficult. So now, we have started to increase the frequency of solids from 1 to 2 (maybe 3 next month).
Sleep wise was ok, he's been napping at least 3 hours in the day. However, he was alternating between warm and cold these 2 weeks. This got us worried for a while until we heard that this was one of the symptoms that the first tooth is coming out. Now we are relieved but can't wait for it to appear! :)
Weight continues to be a problem although he has grown heavier by half kg but next month, I expect he'll become more mobile... we got to work harder at beefing him up and it's also time to baby-proof the home! :)
