Rub a Dub Dub

Didi still loves his bathing time .. i like to take his picture once awhile to show how he fill up the tub.. haa.. now, he is longer than the tub.,. but mum find it easier to bath him using this tub than a deeper one.. so we continue to use this, while didi kick and kick and sometimes his leg will stay outside of the tub.. haaa how adorable..

it's getting harder to bath him now, as he has the strength to twist and turn.. like when we wash his hair he will turn his head down and make us wary the soup/water will go into his eyes/ears. so have to grab him tightly when rinse water.

Didi starts his cereal

Didi tasted his first rice cereal

Didi has been drooling quite a bit recently; follow by his first tooth (lower central incisor) and second incisor. He has since shown great interest in our food. Just yesterday, he snaps his jiejie’s bread when his jiejie is happily eating her whole meal peanut butter as breakfast and she was stunned by her brother’s action.

Didi not only snap the bread from his jiejie, he even put it directly to his mouth.. we were so amused by his action .. Super hungry haaa..

So, mum and I thought, ok la... maybe it’s time we introduce him the rice cereal, which we home-made ourselves. We bought the organic brown rice, wash it, dry it up under hot sun, and grind it to power form. Then mum also bough “Shi Sen” washes, dry, grind into power form too. Shi Sen is to open up baby’s appetite. We did the same for Missy last time.

Yesterday, mum use one spoon of the rice cereal, add in my breastmilk and boil it. Let cool, then let didi try, we feel the grinding not so perfect as still can see small particles (not that smooth), but didi slowly slowly swallow... And eat it all up (even though only one spoon of cereal)




Wow, not bad for his first time, he even make noise after I move the bowl away, as if he wants more.. So we give him some plain water, which is his second time tasting water, cos he is on total breast milk since birth. The first time I gave him plain water was just to let him try the different taste of drink besides milk.

So, we shall let him try the rice cereal from now on, with just a spoonful in amount.

Cute cute boy.. Jiejie is so curious with us feeding him the rice cereal, she keeps saying didi no teeth cannot eat. But I reminded her, didi already has one tooth 

didi 2nd tooth

didi second tooth is very obvious now..tt's fast.. before 6 month old already have 2 teeth and my main concern now is that.. should i start to wen him of breastfeeding ?? cos he bite me in two occasion when i bfed him.

once during the night, when he finished one breast and i try to get him to drink from next breast but he seems to prefer sleeping than drinking, so i kinda force him to open mouth to drink, and ended up, he gave me a hard bite.. sobbb

second time, during day, weekend, when i feel maybe he should drink and then make him take his nap, and he refuse and gave me another bite.. sob again..

sigh.. hopefully, he wont bite me anymore.. sobb

Didi & his new teeth

Didi already his first tooth ..lower central incisor, exactly like missy's but his is a month earlier. hoo..

with that, wehave started to feed him rice cereal now..



today, 7/08/2010 (sat), we noticed one more poping out.. just beside the first tooth. :)

Didi taken rotavirus #2 -completed

Today , on leave to bring didi to take his last dose(2nd) of rotavirus. he again, swallow the oral vaccination like sweet at one go. Doctor said, very good appetite !.. haaa..

so, at least, now, i have one thing lesser to worry abt, no worries on diarhoea/vomiting caused by rotarix.

Mum wasn't feeling well since last night, having slight pain when urinate, and after tested, confirmed she has UTI. Oh, mine. how come ? doc said one reason being that after menopause, if never drink enough water, likely woman can get UTI.

so, mum is now on antibiotic for a week. poor thing.

Didi turn N turn

19th July 2010:

Didi is 5 month old today; he is getting cuter each day with lots of smiles and chuckles... And he enjoys the playing time with us and with his sister. The two of them really adorable as the sister will touch him and he will make loud loud voice each time... So, it’s their bonding time.

Didi likes to play in front of the mirror, I will carry him and we move towards the mirror then away from the mirror, he will chuckled none stop.. and he will even use his little feet to kick himself away from the mirror. He likes when I carry him and dancing around... He will smile and smile...

He likes us bringing him out for walk; he will look up look down... Turn here and there... Sometimes we have to grab him tightly as he will just turn from left to right with lots of force when we carry him upright chest-to-chest. That’s how active he is now.

And yesterday, maybe he want to mark his 5ft month-old with some achievement, he turn over and then from that lifted up position, he lie down and turn to his back.. Then again turn over and lift himself up then again lie done turn on his back.. 4 times mum said, which I missed as we tried to get him to “repeat” in the evening, he refuses and only want to turn over and lift himself up… hee

My love for didi deepens each day... cos he is sososo adorable... And I love to see my two babies spending time together playing... That’s provided missy is playing gently and not play “rough” la... she sometimes will stroke didi’s face or hand too hard or pinch his didi’s cheek saying “so cute” so many times. And I love taking their photos together. I’m in the midst of doing up photos collage of them... I am procrastinating again. When I have time I take it to read things or sleep... so my study table again piles up like Small Mountain...

My little boy is growing up stronger each day!
