Aston's Progress @ 4months

We went for Aston's monthly check up and vaccination last week.  Aston now weighs 7.3kg and his height is 61cm.  He can now hold his head up quite steadily during tummy time and enjoys doing tummy time too.  He can turn to his side only if he feels like doing so.  He is also able to sit up right with support and at times papa will sit him on his lap and watch tv together.  We also noticed that he's quite interested in TVB dramas.  Somehow, when we are watching TVB dramas he will look at the direction of the television.  I tried changing it to BBTV on Astro and he does not show the same interest.  He will be looking here and there trying to move away.  We even downloaded some flashcards on iPad but that scared him! I have tried a few times and after looking at a few flashcards he will burst out crying everytime! Will try the flashcards again when he is 5 months old.  

Feeding Aston now is getting tougher as he knows how to use his hands to push the bottle away and on top of that he recently found out how to play with his tongue so even if I hold the bottle tightly and make sure it does not come out of his mouth when he use his hands to push it away he will use his tongue and start twisting and twirling the teat till all the milk start flowing out of his mouth which then you have no choice but to remove the bottle and wipe the milk.  After that, he will not allow you to put it back in anymore.  Even if you force it in he will repeat and start twisting and twirling his tongue around the teat and at times he will even start making cooos and ahhhs with the teat and milk still in his mouth! When he's not drinking his milk he will stick his tongue in and out which is actually quite cute I must admit.  Not to mention the endless supply of saliva drooling out of his mouth especially when he starts playing with his tongue.

Aston is very talkative especially when he's in a good mood.  He will make all sorts of noise from high pitch to low pitch from loud to soft and he will even pause to wait for your response and at times he will even laugh out loud after listening to our response as if he understood what we are saying.  Needless to say when he's in a foul mood he will still make all sorts of noise but it is no longer pleasant to hear and you wish that he will stop as soon as it starts.
