Pipay @ 5.5 Months

Pipay is now 24 weeks or 5 months and 3 weeks. We visited her Pedia last Friday, Feb. 7, 2014. She weighs 9.15kg and her height is 68cm. The Pedia told her she's obese. I think that's ok for infants. Especially since she is breastfeeding, exclusively (oh! I don't want her to start with solids yet!)

Since her Pedia don't compute percentiles, I looked online for a calculator. I found a nice one, with graphs here. According to them, calculation is done using WHO data.

Pipay is at 93.3 percentile in height. She is a little bigger than the height of most the children her age.

For weight, she is at 99.6 percentile, which means she is heavier that most children her age.

I think, since it is based on WHO, which is world wide, Pipay is really tall for a Filipina baby. :)

I am glad, she is happy, healthy, pretty and super active. She can roll over now. :)

Roll Over

I wish I can pinpoint the exact moment of this very important milestone, however, I can only share some of her firsts.

Last Feb 6, 2014, when Phil and I was about to sleep (at around 1:30 in the morning), Pipay woke up and rolled over 2 times! Nawala ang antok namin just to see that. A few days back was her official first roll over, but we can't remember the date, plus we though she was able to do that because of the uneven surface.

Then Feb 7, Friday, we visited her Pedia. The Pedia asked if Pipay can roll over already. I told her, Pipay did it less than 5 times. Then she said, Pipay is delayed if she can't roll over yet.

The weekend after, as if she is proving the doctor wrong, Pipay rolled over more than 10 times. :)

Here is a video of her rolling over. :)

Biting

I don't really know when it started, I just noticed that instead of thumb (whole fist actually) sucking she was biting her fingers, that was past 3 months old.

Then, err the pain, she started biting my nipple. Thank goodness she doesn't have teeth yet! Ohh and sometimes, she'll bite while pulling away. That hurts a lot. I just tell her not to bite mommy. Haay, Kaso, nanggigigil talaga sya e.

Today, she is 5.5 months, and I think she is starting to teeth, and for sure the biting would be painful. However, I am determined to breastfeed her until, at least, 2 years. Lez go baby!
