Milestones of Baby J at 5th month

Baby J is able to accomplish the following:
  • able to reach accurately for an object (if he wants to and depending on his mood).
  • hold his head steady when sitting upright (Mummy has been training him everyday).
  • raise his chest with arm support while lying on his stomach (he hates this position and can’t lie on his stomach for long).
  • roll over in one direction (occasionally he can make it and also depending on his mood)
  • grasp a rattle (getting lesser each day - Good news for Mummy!)
  • pays attention to very small objects
  • squeals with delight
  • spontaneously smiles
  • mimics sounds and gestures (especially sound and gestures made by Mummy)
  • turns towards the source of a sound or voice
  • gets attention by babbling (his favourite past time)
  • makes different sounds for different needs (e.g. Hungry - Ah Meh or appu)

Things that Mummy hopes that he can accomplish soon:

  • sitting and sleeping in his "Mercz" stroller
  • increase his feeding quantity
  • sleep through out the night
  • able to fall back to sleep after waking up on his own
  • able to call "Daddy and Mummy" :)
