Justin at 8 Months

Justin turned 8 months old on 25 March 2010. We took him for a check-up at the clinic on 23 March 2010 and he weighed 8.5kg (up from 8.1kg 2 months ago).

Here are his updates:

• No change in his diet. Still 4 3oz feeds of EBM at the babysitter's and breastfed on demand at home. He also takes 2 solid meals, porridge or cereal.
  
• He has suddenly become more interactive and seems to have a mind of his own... no more the lie/sit still blur-blur baby *horrors*.
  
• He can now pull himself up to standing position with ease. He does this most often at the sofa.
  
• He has developed a very vile gripping action as he tries to get a good hold on us humans when trying to pull himself up. It's quite painful. Julian has often complained, "Justin, don't disturb!" or he just cries in pain.
  
• He's crawling around more now, often in searh of Mummy.
  
• He loves putting anything into his mouth especially boardbooks, plastic toy cups and everything else that is not permitted.
  
• He's a real busybody in the making. He goes after anything Julian is playing prompting Julian to say, "Justin, don't touch!". He also wants a share of whatever we're eating or drinking.
