Cieran @ 4 months

Cieran weighs 8.23kg during his 4 month check up. Hummm...Ashley got this weight only when she is around 6 months. I suppose, this is a difference between a girl and a boy. Anyway, Cieran is a happy baby. He is much easier to look after in comparison to Ashley, in terms of demands and cleanliness. Eg, when Ashley wet/poo, she demands immediate attention. She will cry with her lungs out till we have complete all cleaning, diapering and carries her up. As for Cieran, he is much easy going, he doesn't cry at all, simply allowing you to take time to clean him up. It is much less stressful attending to his needs. Well... as parents, I have been worrying why Cieran hasn't learn how to turn over. Even how hard I lure him with his many toys (well, in fact-toys that was passed over from Ashley :-p), he just couldn't be bothered to try making a turn. He just left me behaving like a 'fool' shaking his toy, trying hard to attract him over.... My efforts of helping him to turn over never see any results! Sigh..... :-( But! On 22April...a surprised came... I witness together with Ashley (at around 6.45am), Cieran makes his 1st turn flipped over on his left by himself. It was quite a easy and fast turn which was least expected. I was trilled to see such sight. I turn him back lying flat on the mat, and hope he'll make another turn again, to ensure myself that what I am seeing is not in my dreams. I lure him with his favourite toy...and YES! He did it again. :-) I am really HAPPY. The next day, I brought him over to my parents' house and both gong gong and po po gets very excited over Cieran's achievements. Well.. they have been disturbing Cieran, naming him "dai lump baou' meaning 'fatty' due to his weight, and his showing no interest in turning. They laughed and cheered when they see Cieran actively turning and flipping over again and again... Achievement at 4 months-turn over on left side.
