At 5 months of age, he is developing well, and is hitting his milestones at an encouraging pace.
He knows how to lean his body towards his favourite persons when they offer their hands and say "bao bao".
He is an expert roller. He can roll from one end of the bed to the other end in just seconds, sometimes a few rolls at once.
His favourite toys so far are his hands. Recently he developed a taste for his legs.
He can sit with support since 4 months old; when unsupported, his sitting can only last for a few seconds.
He is now practicing to crawl. He can lift his buttock up, knees on the floor, hands supporting his chest for a mini push up. I think he has got his basic posture for crawling right, but still needs more practice and exercise to strengthen his hands/legs muscles, as well as to perfect his hands/legs coordination for crawling.
He is better at expressing himself now. He has developed more variety of tones and sounds to express his different emotions. And he loves it when people talk to him. Sometimes he babbles back as if he is having a conversation with people.
He is playful and cheeky. Sometimes he can be mischievous too. He bites sometimes, and look at me with a cheeky smile. Or he pulls hair, licks your skin, followed by the same cheeky smile, as if he is saying: Gotcha!
He still wakes up for his night nursing every night. On a good day, he wakes up 1 time at 2-3am to nurse. On a not so good day, he can make noise almost every other hour and demands to be comforted. I am still not ready to let him cry it out, so let's see how he progresses next couples months.
