One of the Daniel's behavior change I've noticed recently is that he has showed an increased interest on picture books instead of just dedicating his attention on chewing them or tearing the pages out. We bought couple of board books for him long time ago, things like Poppy Cat Splash, Bedtime Bear and fluffy counting book etc... then he received some free baby books from Health Visitor on his 7 month assessment, Peepo Baby, Happy Dog & Sad Dog. I've been reading the Peepo book, a pop-up board book and Bedtime Bear to him before his bedtime some evenings as part of the sleep training since the boobie trick doesn't work anymore. There is a large brand-new children library opened recently in our local library, I took him to there couple times to read the picture books and he loved it..
Daniel has a lot of interests on the world surrounding him.He definitely shows some signs of readiness for communication, Doing eye contacts with us all the time as if he's seeking approval; On vocal side, he's doing 'da,da,,, da' sound all the time and roaring sometime when he's showing off. On the wall our first floor hallway there is a painting which always excites him, each time I carry him upstairs, he would point the painting with quizzical look as if asking me what is that, obviously I always say 'painting' each time when we pass by... there are quite lot of examples like this in our day-to-day interactions. I know there would be a bit of time before his speech really kicks in, but he definitely understand some concepts now. Each time when I say 'deng, deng' (light in Chinese), he would raise his head up towards ceiling.

See, these are the beautiful things that money can't buy. They might seem tiny to some people, but they are huge and very exciting and special for parents especially for mothers like us. It's the greatest thing that we can witness our children's development.
Look at Daniel's arm, I want to bite!
Hehe, my Mum always say Daniel's arms are like the stem of lotus root...
