Valerie is 7 month

Half a year has past... time flies isn't it? Valerie is already 7 month old. At the last count, she was 9.3kg (20.5lbs) a month ago. She's gaining... and fast! She's now already wearing clothes for 1-yr olds.

Besides her increase in size, she's also able to sit upright on her own. She's not very stable yet but can sit quite long with me behind her. I won't support her but incase she does fall, I'll be there to prevent her from hitting her head. Sitting gracefully, she's keeping herself busy with toys.














Valerie's got 2 front teeth on the bottom gum. I wasn't expecting any teeth yet cos she has not fussed or had any fever like the other kids. I think it's been there awhile but I only noticed it on 12 Oct 2006. Was feeding her carrots and I heard this scratchy noise from the plastic spoon. And out of the blue, 2 white teeth materialized in front of me. And they are sharp! The picture below doesn't do justice to her cute little teeth, but even her mouth is so beautifully shaped!!














Enjoying daddy's company and relaxing in his bony arms!!
Hey! What's that in my daddy's mouth? It looks so familiar, hmm...my pacifier!

















Valerie's also learned to crawl forward now... previously she was only crawling backwards. She's still not very stable and would lunge forward sometimes. Especially when she sees something that she wants to get hold of immediately. Sometimes she'll fall to the side, guess her arms must be tired from the crawling. It's fun to see her crawl... but it keeps my eyes busy. Have to pay 100% attention when she's on the ground. She can get to places that she's not suppose to very quickly. I'm almost crawling with her at times...
Can't wait till she can walk!! hahahahaha....
