Zoe's Milestone

I was quite busy awhile ago putting placing alphabets on the wall. That's what I did when Chloe was a baby. This time, I'm doing it for baby Zoe. I always believed that if you help your child, the more their young minds are practiced at an early age. I've exposed Chloe to reading alphabets, books and pictures suitable for babies and now I'm applying it to Zoe. Young as she is, her mind is already working. At 4 months, baby Zoe knew how to flip pages of the book and now, it has become her hobby. Sometimes, I don't mind if she tears some of the pages for I made sure to give her old books anyway ;-) But there are some instances where she can get a new book and oh well, I can't do anything about it but repair it afterward.

Baby Zoe is already 1 year old and 1 month now. She learns how to balance and can walk up to 4 steps only. Some of the babies may learn how to walk before they turn 1 but am not so worried about this for every child has a different developmental stages. I will only be worried if she doesn't know how to talk when she reaches the age of 3!

Zoe is a happy baby and am glad she's not that hard to take care unlike my first, hehe. If not feeling cranky, baby Zoe will sleep in her crib by herself. But of course I check on her from time to time to make sure she's safe. And oh, she's quite big for her age, perhaps because she's not a picky eater. She loves to drink water also, which I'm glad for she's not a constipated baby unlike my eldest.

I'm just posting here the latest update on Zoe. Her favorite playmate is her big sister and I really like see them play. I don't mind the shrieking, at least I know my baby is healthy, happy and okay (",)

Zoe's Progress

When baby Zoe turned 6 months old, she made a lot of progress in her milestone. She's now starting to crawl by trying to slide her tummy and use her knees to push herself forward. But most of the time, she pushed herself backward :D :D And I don't let Zoe sleeps beside me at bed at night anymore. She's safe on her crib, safe from mosquito bites and safe from fall especially now that she rolls so fast.

She still wakes up at night to ask for milk but at times, she sleeps thru the night and wakes up at 5 am. This is where Chloe and Zoe differ for I remember Chloe slept thru the night when she turned 4 months old and woke up only to ask milk the following morning. But every child is unique so I'll just enjoy every moment of it.

Zoe is starting to eat her solid food, too. Starting last Monday, she ate Cerelac Rice and Soya flavor 2x a day and so far she loved it! I'll be feeding her this flavor for the whole week and next week, I'll let her try another flavor.

But what I am happy about her in new development is that I don't carry her most often these days. Before, I used to carry her until she's asleep but right now, she sleeps by herself in her crib. But there were times when she wanted me to carry her for awhile until she's contented, then I put her back on her crib and then she sleeps. I am so glad for this progress!
