Lleyton has been swimming regularly nowadays. He gets his weekly dip usually on Saturdays, or whenever Daddy & Mummy is home and weather permits. He is starting to know that he needs to paddle ("kick his legs") if he wants to move forward, but at times, he will be so lazy that he will cross his legs and rest on Daddy's supporting palms. Nua Lleyton.
Lleyton has developed a "bad habit" of sorts; he likes to put his tongue out, as evident in this photo with Grandpa.
Lleyton is also able to "cruise" along the sofa, using his hands to hold himself upright. However, he often forgets that he needs his hands to hold him upright and whenever he sees a toy, he will reach out and grab it with both hands....and then fall over!
Lleyton used to wake up a couple of times each night. In the past week, Daddy & Mummy have started trying to let Lleyton sleep through the night...by simply ignoring him when he wakes up in the middle of the night. It may sound harsh to implement such "cold turkey" treatment on a 7.5 month old baby, but Mummy felt that he is ready for it, and amazingly Lleyton really is. Mummy is proud to announce that Lleyton can sleep through the night by himself without feeding (at least for the last 3 nights)!!! Yippy for Mummy.. :)
The most remarkable change in Lleyton over the past two weeks is his apparent ability in recognising the people around him. He is now able to recognise Daddy & Mummy, and will break out into a wide smile and stretch his arms out in acknowledgment. Daddy reasoned that he is like a toy to Lleyton, for he always come up with new games to play with Lleyton, whereas Mummy is food to Lleyton for she naturally is the one who nurses him. Daddy & Mummy have observed that their Chubby-Chubby is developing an attraction or "stickiness" to Mummy...and Daddy laments that Lleyton prefers food than play!
