Xavier @ 6 months old

Today, Xavier has turn 6 months old !! He weighs a nice weight of 8kg and height of 67 cm. I have increased your feeding to 170ml (ebm) with 3 teaspoon of cereal.

Daddy's thought : Hi Little Boy! I remembered the very day you were born. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was excited and happy. It is the start of Fatherhood. Your mummy "suffered" for about 6hrs before you were out. I had the first hand to carry you in my arms, walking around the delivery suite. Watching the nurse taking your weight, length and head circumference. Now you are already 6 month old. You started to crawl,throw tantrum and make funny face and of course, your smile and laughter.

Unlike your mummy, I got to work. Sometimes got to work 24hr. My time with you is only during day off and weekend. Hope you understand. I tried to spend my time with your mum and you. Bath you whenever I have the chance. play with you and make you laught.

I like to watch you sleep. You are sooo cute you know. Your laughter make our days. You cries make us at lost. Not knowing what you want. Your grandmother likes to peep at you and see you in action. She likes to talk to me about you. In fact, everyone is excited about you.

Lastly, you bring us joy and happiness. We both you little boy! Muack!

Mummy's thought : From the first day I held you in my arms, you have turned 6 months in a blink of an eye. Though time flies, but probably mummy was burnt out looking after you full time, giving you all the attention, love and care. It felt like it has been 6 long years heh.. hahaha

But nevertheless, you have brought joy and happiness to everyone, especially mummy. Tears of joy when I first held you and tears of helplessness when you were hospitalised. MAkes me loss for words when you gave me "fountain" at times when I changed you or bathed you. And your poo-poo.. really gotta clear your shit !! heh heh..

Thank you for giving me a chance to learn with you right from scratch. Be it learning how to bathe you, dress you, feed you, observe your feeding and sleeping patterns and best of all, I have learnt to sing new nursery rhymes to you which I have never learnt before.

Thank you for allowing me to learn to be more patient towards you although mummy still have a long way to go to be more patient. Sometimes, you can really drive me crazy with you cries and luckily, Aunty Jo is there to help me when daddy was at wotk.

Thank you for rewarding me with your laughters and beautiful smile when I greeted you in the morning. Your gentle eyes gazing at me as I sing you to sleep.

Xavier, you're mummy's pride and joy ! I love you !!

New clothes for Xavier

Here's the handsome Xavier

Banana Puree for Xavier

Bananas are full of slow-release sugars which provide sustained energy.
Good for treatment of diarrhoea and constipation.

They make a perfect baby recipe as they are portable and come in their own easy to peel packaging.

(Reference from Annabel Karmel- First meals "Recipes little kids can sink their teeth into ")

When Xav was about 22 weeks, I tried mashed banana mixed with 10 ml of ebm (expressed breastmilk). He loves it, and was greedily asking for more. He will aim at the cup which I was holding onto and would readily jump on it when he saw the spoon reaching his mouth. Very cute sight. I bought a bunch of organic mini bananas from the market which costs me about $1.40 for about 8 mini ones.

Ingredients
1 small banana

Method:
1. Peel a small banana and mash with a fork or spoon.
2. Add a little milk if necessary to thin down the consistency and add a familiar taste.

Here's some pics of Xav enjoying the mashed banana.
Ah ....
Umph ...

Yummy .. slurrp ..

Who asked you to snap my pics when I'm having my meal !!!

sigh .. when is the next spoon feed gonna come ???

My LG prime mat !!

I was about 21 weeks old when I finally mastered a skill to flip to my left !! I had knew how to flip to my right long ago. heh heh .. This time, daddy and mummy will be busier to look out for my movements !! Mmuahahahaha !! But freak not, because Daddy and Mummy bought me a super soft and nice colourful mat ! Big enough for me to do my flips and rolls !! Do check it out here !!

This is the LG prime mat. Design: Yellow bear, thickness: 15mm, measuring: 23m x 14m. This mat burnt a hole in daddy and mummy's pocket, costing $266.

Mummy loves the vibrant colours and soon it became our activity mat. Mummy folds my nappy, surfs internet, sleep and play with me and daddy too sits on the mat during his VCDs marathon. For me, I can pose and take pics ..

Bintan Trip

Daddy and mummy brought me for a short trip to Bintan !! This was my first trip after I was born. Mummy had been deprived to go on a trip for almost one year plus. Daddy had brought her there to pamper her for a spa treat.. heeee.. and me to become the "light bulb" hahahahaa..

Finally, the sun was nice extremely warm on the last day. We went and snap some pics by the seaside.



Let me enjoy some sea breeze before I say sayoonara to Bintan.


That's the end of my first trip !! Looking forward for another one !!

Water melon for Xavier

We tried it yesterday evening, just for Xavier to get to taste how water melon tastes like. He certainly likes it. He keet licking and asked for more. Though he he does not know how to talk, his body language told us.. hahaha... so funny.. When dear dear placed the piece of water melon into my mouth, Xavier's head moved forward and wanted to snatch and bite off the piece I'm having.

Here is a pic of the greedy Xavier..



Anyway, today, I tried stirring one teaspoon of Healthy Times Cereal into 20ml of EBM and allowed Xav to try. He was enjoying as much.. hee.. Xav still does not know how to eat from the spoon, infact he was licking the cereal off.. what a sight ! I could not help but laughed at him.
