Noah has been drooling buckets lately. Going through 5-6 bib a day! Last night ZM told me he could now feel the tip of a tooth poking out. So i stick my finger in Noah's mouth, he was happily chewing away at it, and indeed, a tooth! Or the tip of a front tooth! on his lower gum.
Aside from the first few days out of the hospital, Noah had always loved diaper changing time. Now he had one more reason to be excited about diaper changing. Because it is also the time he could pick up his bear feet and put them in his mouth. Noah loved chewing his feet. We captured him on video the other night when it was warmer than usual, so i let out his feet from his sleeping sack.
小人儿这几天口水狂流. 刚换上的围嘴,几分钟就湿透了. 昨晚到家后,米粥说Noah啃他手指时,能感觉到小牙了.我伸了个指头给他, 小家伙欢天喜地地啃起来. 果然! 小牙冒尖儿了! 下面的门牙. 硬硬的.
Noah一直很喜欢换尿布换衣服这类活动. 现在更喜欢了因为他又发现了一个新鲜东西啃,自己的小脚丫. 前晚看电视时他有点热,我就把他的小脚丫从睡袍里掏出来. 小家伙津津有味地啃起来...

Noah and Food
最近我们吃饭时都会捡些小颗粒喂小家伙.一般他吃了张嘴还要,或者扑过来抓住我们的手都表示喜欢.噗次一声吐出来就表示不喜欢.
Dinner time used to mean nap time for Noah. Then it turned into half play time in the bouncer, half play time on Mom's lap. Then he started to notice the dishes on the table. We got him a high chair about a month ago, so he could sit with us, playing with his teething toy while we eat.
Very soon, he became a lot more interested in what we eat than in his toys.
After reading Hungry Monkey, we decided to feed him scraps of whatever we eat instead of making pureed "baby food" for him. Apparently before 6 months old, babies eat more for social experience than for nutrition.
So far, we found out that he liked egg omelet, bread, apple, grape (skinless), roasted chicken...He also loves to drink from my sigg bottle, which happens to have a sports cap that he could suck. Every time he drank from my bottle, he has this serious look on his face, as if saying, "this is serious! i'm drinking from a grown up bottle!"
He doesn't care for rice, porridge, curry.
Last week ZM cooked rib. We let Noah had a taste of it. He was blown away. His eyes popped out, he slammed both of his hands on his highchair table, and dived toward my hands for more! When I took the bone away, he cried. It was the first time he cried for table food.
这次吃排骨的表现不同凡响.只见他两眼放光,两只小手往自己高椅上的小桌子一拍,一个小人几乎要从椅子里跳将出来了.
周密因此发明了一种新的标准, 好吃到什么程度,有没有"拍案而起"?:)
可惜当时没有录像.这里录下的是他对我们把排骨拿走表示抗议.

Height 身高*: 2'1.5" 0.638m (74%)
HC 头围: 17.52" 44.5cm (96%)

时间选了个周四以为会避开高峰期(周一周五), 结果却落在退伍军人日, 一般公司不放假但是学校放假, 所以打针的地方人山人海, 等了近两个小时才轮到.以后千万要查好日历...这次打针又是出了护士室的门就不哭了. 真乖.

Food
Noah started to express interests in food we eat.
He is often awake during our dinner time, and usually only happy in his bouncer for half of our dinner time. During the 2nd half, i usually hold him in my lap with my left arm and eat dinner using my right. After a few weeks watching us eat and trying to keep himself entertained by looking around the dinner table. He finally decided he wanted some action too. He started leaning toward the dinner table, and tries to grab whatever we have in our plates/bowls.
So lately we started to pick up pieces of the food and gave him a little taste. He is usually satisfied or puzzled after a lick. His reaction turned interesting starting yesterday.
We had thai take-out. so i dipped my chopstick in a little of my green curry dish and presented the chopstick to Noah. He eagerly sucked on it. Immediately he made a yucky face and started spitting out, what looked like, all of the saliva in his mouth. He continued to making the spitting sound even after he spitted out everything. It was the first time he showed his dislike of any food.
It is either because the curry taste is too much for him, or he finally gained some taste-bud?
This morning, he showed lots of interests of our breakfast. So i offered him a small piece of my omelet to lick. instead of merely licking, he took a bite (even though he has yet to teeth) like a hungry little beast! He loved it!
This morning we bought some grape from the farmer's market, and i washed a bunch for snack. Sitting in my lap, Noah stared at the grape very intently. So i bite off half of one grape, and offered him the other half, he eagerly sucked/chewed it to taste the juice. He seemed to really enjoy it.
For dinner we had fish and veggie. He obviously loved the fish, and made spitting sound on the veggie. :-/

快四个月了 Almost Four Months Old
Noah's face seems to change everyday. He looks more and more like a little boy instead of a little baby now. He can sit sometimes with his arms stuck out in front to balance himself. ZM joked "just like a chimpanzee!" He could roll over consistently with some help. He loves lying on his stomach and look around. he could also grasp toys quite well now.
He still loves to smile and laugh, any hour of the day. He took two weeks off from babbling though. His silence got me worried for a bit, luckily he just started "talking" again a couple of days ago, coincide with another heat wave (in November! it is crazy). This morning, he woke up at 7:30 and started "humming" to himself. It was hilarious.
Noah的脸一天天变化, 越来越像个小男孩, 而不是小婴孩了. 他有时候把手支在身前就可以自己坐一会. 米粥笑他 "像猩猩似的!" 翻身还是需要外力帮助一下. 趴得很好了, 趴着时挺胸抬头地可以东张西望很久.
依然爱笑, 无论早晚. 前两个星期他突然沉默起来不再嗯啊说话了. 吓着了我们. 不过前天开始好像闭关结束, 又开始长篇大论发表意见了. 今天早上七点半醒了,天还没亮,他居然悠悠然唱起小曲儿来, 好玩极了.
昨天拍的录像. 抓东西时手指的协调性已经很好了.

翻身 Rollover
Last week was my first week back to work. ZM and Noah not only survived their first week without Mommy during the day, they even managed to practice roll-over daily. So on Saturday morning, Noah showed me how to roll over for the first time!
上周是我回去上班第一周. 爷儿俩白天过得挺好的. Noah只有在周三晚上我回家前大闹了一次,狂哭了四十分钟. 其他时间都很好. 他们还天天练习翻身. 周六给我表演来着.这是录像. 小家伙抑扬顿挫的哼哈声还挺有练武术的气氛...
