It's been some time since I last updated about Kendrick. We brought him for his injection just recently on 16 May and at this time, Kendrick weighs 7.5kg. As usual after the jab, he had slight fever the very same night. Fortunately, it cleared faster this time round. By the next morning, he was ok already :)
Anyway, during the last few weeks, Kendrick has gotten more fun to play with. He loves to make noises when he is at home, but tends to be more quiet when outside. Nevertheless, this 'talkative' boy has been making lots of high pitched sounds when he is lying on the bouncer, or on the bed. Kendrick is also drooling a lot more now and yes, he still cannot stop playing with his hands and eating them! Not much choice since Dear and I decided not to give him pacifier to suck. Grabbing onto stuff that you place in front of him is also something that he has been doing.
There were also occasions in the past few weeks that Kendrick has learnt to laugh and it's really cute! Previously it was more of smiling which he still does. But once in a while he gets really tickled through a simple play time and that's when he will start laughing for a short while :) I realised that he is also learning new emotions. Besides happy laughter, fear seems to be something that is more apparent now. He is beginning to recognise people around him more and if someone he is not so familiar with carries him, he will start to cry...He also suddenly began to fear the sound of the vacuum cleaner. This came as a surprise to me as previously, he was perfectly fine when we vacuumed in front of him. However, as of last week, he would suddenly cry out loud whenever the vacuum cleaner was turned on. Dear suspects that his hearing has developed another level and as such, loud noises affect / frighten him! Oh dear...Mummy hopes Kendrick will slowly grow out of this. A check with my colleagues and it seems that one of them also faces the same problem. Both her daughters are afraid of the sound.
On another happier note, it seems like Kendrick learnt to make this sound to indicate that he has poo-pooed. It came out of the blue one day. Because sometimes we make this sound 'umm-umm' to make him poo, there was once when he actually made a similar sound and I checked his diapers and indeed he pooed! We then went on to observe a few more times and each time he did poo, he made the 'umm-umm' sound. Perhaps he really did learn from hearing us and thus associated with pooing. Well, if that is really the case, we are quite proud of him! He has learnt something! Haha...anyway, we are still observing to see if it continues to be so or it is only a passing phase. Better than nothing anyway :)
Here's some new photos of Kendrick....
