Standing up


For the first time today, Lucas stood up on his own!  I did not witness it, but Charles did.

I tried to put him to bed, but he wasn't sleepy yet so he got up, sat in his crib and started playing.  I left him there.  He normally would just fall asleep when he gets sleepy.

A few minutes later, Charles went to his room to check on him and there, Charles found him standing on the corner of his crib trying to grab the baby monitor that was placed on top of the dresser next to his crib.

Lucas managed to pull himself up!  Charles was so shocked at what he saw, he exclaimed "Hala!" and frightened Lucas.

I think Lucas is pretty advanced when it comes to his mobility skills.  Today, I read this at Babycenter.com:  "Your baby is now 7 months old.  As your baby's muscles are becoming stronger, he's apt to lunge forward onto all fours from a sitting position.  He may go into a "precrawl" exercise, rocking back and forth on hands and knees with his trunk parallel to the floor."  Well, Lucas was already doing this a month ago and this was exactly what I wanted to describe him do in this blog.

I am happy to see these early signs of mobility in him.  At least I know his muscles are strong.  I was a little worried about this part because he drinks less milk than he's supposed to.

About This Blog

This is where I document my day-to-day as mother. Every single day with my boy is a new experience, a new adventure for us. If, in the future, the universe will not allow me stay to tell my boy how I feel for him every single day, my journals will be here--a living proof of my unconditional love and devotion to him as his mom.

About Me

My photo
I am happily married and a mom of one. I am working full-time as a Director, Software Business & Integration of a San Francisco-based software company called LiveNote, owned by Thomson Reuters. Being a mom is to me an adventure in itself. I consider it a full-time job and a rather challenging role. But it is also the most rewarding job of all. What I find most exciting about motherhood is that everyday means something new and exciting. And it's hard not to document these things! So here's my little journal of motherhood. Someday, I will look back and read everything I've written here and marvel at how much I have grown and changed as a person, as a mother!
