Zac's Update: 5+ months

At 5+ months, I:

• prefer to be on my tummy whenever I can, even after milk, which usually end up with me puking on the mattress or the sofa or wherever
• am afraid of strangers, will cry when they approach me
• can recognise my name
• experienced my first fall (ended up with a bruise on the face and forehead) thanks to my mummy
• have started solid (some organic rice cereal that mummy bought), sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't
• am officially off booties/socks except at night
• still love to suck my thumb and fingers or whatever I can grab hold of
• enjoy sitting in the walker and can go on reverse only for now
• love watching 'Your Baby Can Read' cds
• still do not have a proper sleeping routine. I sleep whenever I feel like it. Sometimes I don't want to sleep at night, I want to play!
  
• love when my sister plays with me and will get all excited with whatever toys given to me
  
• still experience different night feeding patterns. For 1 week I was a vampire, waking up every 3 - 4 hrs for feeds. At another week (current week) I slept from 9pm till 6/7am in the morning with no feeds. I am just so unpredictable hehehe
  

I will need another haircut very soon. I will not be going for any jab until I turn 1 so I don't really know how much I have grown in terms of weight and height. But mummy said she is getting back aches carrying or lifting me so I believe I am doing ok :-)

My sister loves to play 'dress me up' with me
