5 months and I can flip

Keath is 5 months old and he can flip from his back to tummy loh. There would even be instances where we find him sleeping on his tummy. Scary- we will quickly turn him back to sleep on his back. So at 4+ months, we find that he is more and more responsive. He smiles when you smile at him; he laughs out loud; he can hold and bite a teether; he flaps his hands in the water while bathing; he squeaks high pitch; he grabs things.

Dont know whether to be happy or sad that whenever he cries, only mummy can calm him down. If mummy cant calm him down, mummy's boobs can. Which also means that mummy is very tired taking care of him cos he needs to stick with mummy all the time. My biceps are toned now, but my wrist is painful and my lower back aches. It is physically tiring but emotionally rich when taking care of a baby.

Keath is growing chubbier by the months. This is his growth rate, which is shooting up exponentially.
At birth: 25th percentile
1 month: 25th percentile
2 months: 50th percentile
3 months: 75th percentile
4 months: 85th percentile
5 months: 90th percentile
Now: >90th percentile
There is nothing i can do to make sure he doesnt drink excessive milk unless i apply for npl and comfort him when he cries. So what to do, mil just has to feed him to stop him from crying. We found out that he tends to cry lesser when we bring him out. But that would mean non-stop pushing of stroller and walking the whole day. He is the type whereby once you stop the motion, he would cry. Why is it that he cant keep still one! I cannot imagine the time when he starts to walk, how are we going to find the energy to care for him!

Enough of his developmental milestones. Here are some pictures to share with you.

Kiss ah gong

I cannot decide whether to sleep or eat.
