Jerald at 5 Months Old

Jerald turned 5 months old on 28 June 2016.

As of 15 June 2016 (4.5 months), he weighed 6.7kg and was 62cm in length. No immunisation jab this month.

His development updates:

• He can lift his head while on his tummy.
  
• After consultation with a paediatric ophthalmologist for his earlier delay in tracking objects, the MRI scan is now not necessary.
  
• When lying down on his back, he actively flips over on his tummy and sometimes back on his back again.
  
• He is making screaming sounds which we think is his way of trying to communicate something.
  
• He is showing signs of being sticky to certain people, resisting being carried by strangers.

Jerald at 4 Months Old

Jerald turned 4 months old on 28 May 2016.

As of 17 May 2016 (3.5 months), he weighed 6.00kg and was 59cm in length.

His development updates:

• Still trying to lift his head while on his tummy. He generally still feels unconfortable being on his tummy.
  
• He can now visually track and follow objects and faces quite well much to our relief. We are postponing a scheduled MRI scan pending further consultation with a paediatric ophthalmologist.
• Since 8 May 2016, he has started flipping over from his back to his tummy but only a few times.
  
• He has started laughing.
