Baby has reached the following milestones:

Language: 
Say "bah, bah", "vah, vah", "mah!", "ah!", "eh"... otherwise nothing much that sounds like our adult's language... He seems to understand what we were trying to say to him although he couldn't express in words. He shake his head when he doesn't want something and will hold out his hand and say "ah, ah!" if he wants something.

Motor skills: 
Good pincer grasp, can feed himself finger food and actually we are now teaching him to share his food by asking him to pick up the food and feed papa or mummy instead of putting it into his mouth. He still prefers to put it into his mouth. Haha.
Able to pull himself to stand up position by holding the edges of a solid object like a table and push down.
Able to sit down from standing position by extending a hand out to the floor and slowly bend his knees.
Able to crawl instead of creep and is crawling almost all the time now.
Able to sit up straight without falling and able to move to sitting position easily while on his back or on all fours.

Personality: 
His personality is starting to show although it may change throughout the years. He loves going outdoors and he's active and easily bored. Although if he's very attracted to something, he will focus and concentrate very hard on it and for a baby his age, the time he spent concentrating seems to be rather long. He likes to climb around and he likes to explore. He's one baby who cannot keep still. If we restrict him from doing what he's keen on doing, he'll protest noisily and actively by struggling to get free, make loud grunts and cry and scream at the top of his voice if he still can't get what he wants. Teaching him what is allowed and what isn't is a tedious and continuous job because babies have short memories, and even if he remembers, he still will try his luck to get his hands on the "forbidden items" or crawl into the "forbidden places" likes bathrooms and kitchens. Taking care of this little one requires one's full attention!
