My growing Alvan...

My baby Alvan is growing pretty fast... He's already 10 months now and seems like yesterday that I went to KKH to deliver him!! Am really glad I managed to be his main caretaker this time... Seeing him grow really makes all my hard work worth it and especially when his first word is 'mama'!!! He had started saying his first word when he was 8.5 months old but we know he's not able to link this word to me, as his mother yet! Till now, 10 months old, he will cry 'mama' when he sees me leave him alone in his playyard or when he wants to be carried!!

And since the day he know how to grab himself in the standing position in his cot, he will get up the moment he's awake... And scream for 'mama'!! And it's bad especially when he's in a hammock when he's at my mums place... See the picture here?? He's able to make twist and turns inside when he refuse to sleep and sit up!!

You will never believe how much he loves to stand up!! The moment he's on his own, he will grab anything he can reach to pull himself up!! Even in my bed, he will without fail, move to the headrest and stand up against the pillows!! But I realised, he had been standing and moving around in tip-toe!! I reckon this is due to him being exposed to the walker at an early stage... And with his new playyard around, I hope he can learn to walk in the correct flat feet position and be like his jiejie and korkor, to be able to walk on his own before he turns 1 year old!! ;)
