My 9 month old

Joshie turns 9 months today. How time flies!

This month, Joshie has been really active. No doubt he has always been a hyperactive child but recently, he refuses to be confined. There goes my attempt of training him to sit in his playpen. He used to sit happily in his yellow Bumbo but now, he'd struggle to get out 90% of the time. He loves to crawl on the floor and he can crawl really fast too. And he has been cruising a lot too.

He is also a chatterbox and has been babbling a lot. His favourite word is still "deh deh" but he has added "kah" to his vocabulary. =P

Joshie is also feeding himself very well. I don't give him the spoon yet (lazy mummy don't want to clean up the mess) but most of the time, I give him pieces of bread and he is able to use his thumb and index finger (pincher grasp) to hold the bread and direct it to his mouth. And with 3 little teeth, I do not need to mash fruits like banana, papaya and dragon fruit anymore. I can just feed him direct.

He is able to recognise some of his favourite songs like "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes", "Twinkle twinkle little star" and "ABC" and would grin happily when he hears these songs.
