6 mths milestone

At last Skyler reaches his 6th mth! This is an impt mark for him. He would be switching from stage 1 fm to stage 2. Officially he can start on his semi-solid (in fact i have already started him on fruit puree for a week +). His milestone for this mth:

- Able to sit up independently

- Able to pull himself into a sitting position

- Likes avocado and papaya puree (havent try the rest yet)

- Likes organic brown rice cereal

- Able to recognise me and wan me to carry when he sees me

- Sometimes able to "crawl" forward, but most of the time, he moved backwards lol

- At 1 week short of 6 mths, he weighs 7.5kg and measure 65.5cm (50 percentile for both). On a suprising side, his head circumference is only at 25 percentile when we always tot that he has got a big head! lol..

- Now he will hold his own bottle when drinking, except during df-ing when he is half asleep and tends to let go of his bottle.

Happy half yr old baby :)

Skyler is 6 mths old!

Yes it's finally 6 mths!!!!!

Hug my Skyler boy n kiss: Thank you for coming into my life. Thanks you for being my little angel, little devil, little mr fussypot, little mr itchy backside (can't sit still), little mr eat-it-all (pls continue to do it minus the non edible items like TOYS, CLOTHES, PLASTIC), little clever boy, guai boy etc etc. You really brought a lot of excitement n fun n experience into my life. W/o u, my life seems so boring n uninteresting.

Hug my breast pump n kiss: Thank you for being my fateful fren for the past 6 mths. I see u every 3-4 hrly n work u to ur max. U have been good n did not give me much trouble. I will try to use u as long as possible but lookg at circumstances, I think I might be giving u ur deserved rest soon.. Continue to be good n shall see u again for #2 ya.

XOXO,
Mommy

Skyler's first taste of avocado

The recommended age for starting on semi-solid for bb is after 6 mths of age. However, Skyler has long since showed interest in the food tat we r eating. He would always watch us intensely when we r eating n when I pretend to offer him some, he would always open his mouth eagerly. Thus, I decided to start him on his fruit puree yesterday.

Did some reading/research and it's said that Avocado is one of the best first food for babies. When we introduce new food to them, we have to follow the four day rules. Ie, feed him the same food for at least 4 days before introducing another food.

So, early in the morning, I woke up to prepare the avocado puree. Blended 2 avocados with abt almost 100ml of bm. Unkin not sure if I did it correctly, but even with 100ml of bm, the puree seems thick.

Fed it to Skyler in-between his afternoon n evening milk feed. Conclusion, he loves it! He was happily n excitedly grabbing my hand (with the spoon) n pushing it into his mouth. He managed to finish half the baby cube worth of Avocado.

First day of work for 2011

Sigh.... I didn't end 2010 n welcome 2011 very well. Been sick since 31 dec having sore throat, cough n blocked cum running nose. To add to that, Skyler has been extremely cranky, crying m screaming ar the top of his voice n wanting to be carried for every single waking moments. Hubby is not much help too as he is working. It's driving me nuts.

So now, on the first working day of the yr, I was given half day MC n now gg home to rest. Hub gg to pick up Skyker at night so tat I can rest in the afternoon. Too bad I still need to pump regularly, if not I think I wld sleep till when they r home... Sigh...
