10th Month

For my 10^th month I caught my first ever colds and had also coughs with it. I was not able to escape from the virus as everyone at home had it going round to each and every one of us. At night my sleep would be disturbed as I cough due to my very itchy throat… and then I would throw up the ingested milk in the end. The good thing is that I don’t cry when I vomit, which surprised Mommy, because my brother cries when he vomits. The smell and the feeling are definitely not pleasant, but I guess I just cannot be bothered by it. I just wanted to be done with it and get back to sleep. Now, as of this writing I am having another strain of colds and cough… (sigh)

Aside from the cheerless report above, I have been busy balancing and trying to walk. Guess what, I can do 2 or 3 steps without holding on to my crib railings! Quite an achievement right?! But Mommy is not comfortable with me doing it on the floor. I think she is protective of me because she knows that I am the adventurous type and that she knows that I will surely get hurt if I venture to try my no-hold-2-or-3-step out of my crib. =D

I also have my 4 upper incisors and 2 lower incisors showing if I haven’t mentioned it already. Because of this, I like to eat solid foods. I so would love to try what my family is having for their meals. But, as of now Mommy would only allow plain bread and a bit of pancake/waffle from Prima Deli shop for me to munch on aside from my usual baby food staple (Heinz biscotti, mashed fruits and veggies and Cerelac). Mommy tried mashed boiled egg for me but I think I am not ready for it yet as I was having a hard time chewing and swallowing it.

I love to laugh now when I find things are funny. And oh, I love Gracie Lou music DVD. I will clap my hands and shriek with delight when I see the TV and DVD player being switched on. Among my favorite songs from Gracie Lou music DVD are Ten Little Indians, I Am the Music Man, Horsey Horsey, If You’re Happy and You Know It, etc. Gracey Lou can make me sit down and stay still for a few minutes.

I love to throw things on the floor. I think I love the sound or noise it makes when I throw my toys out of my crib and from my high chair. And I also yell in disagreement when anyone in my family gets something that is in my hands. Oh yes, I can tug something with anyone now. But don’t worry, anyone can have my toy or anything that I am holding after a few minutes without my objection after I am done examining it…  =)
