1st signs of enamel!

Today we spotted the peeping tips of Jo's 1st 2 teeth! Its his lower jaw front teeth. Pray that it won't be too painful for him.

1st taste of Broccoli

Today Jo had his 1st taste of broccoli. It was mixed with wee bit of carrots stirred into his multigrain cereal. But pity that his wait was too long so he ended up gobbling down his cereal together with his milk without really tasting the broccoli. Better luck next time.

As of today, Jo has tasted...
vegetables: 'hoi chye', spinach aka 'bo-chye' ("swee'pea"), sweet potato, carrot & pumpkin
fruits: apple & plum
grains: oatmeal & brown rice
cereal: multigrain & banana breakfast

Later today he will taste potato and kiwi.

It's really fun watching his face twist with curiosity when he learns the new taste. Thank God for no allergies.

Piggyback ride

Best ride in the world!

Better and stronger balance

Now Jo can pull up to a sitting position without much assistance! It's amazing watching him develop. He is learning something new everyday! Now we can place him beside us on the sofa and he enjoys patting the sofa arm-rest cos it makes a sound. He's been promoted to the high chair as well though he tends to lean to one side.

Jonah's 5mth jab

Jojo bear had his 5mth 6-in-1 jab today. He's better at taking pain now. He cried for a while but was soon distracted by his sunny rattle.

Today's stats: (weight) 8.89kg; (height) 71.4cm; (head circumference) 43.8cm.
He's still in the 97th percentile...Mighty Jo (Swee's nick for Jo).

Today's the 3rd day that he's on the new sleeping program. He seems to be adjusting well to the 4hr stretch between feeds. Last nite he had his last night feed at 11pm and slept 6hrs straight to this morning! A vast improvement from the 3hr sleep gap! I wonder if it'll be the same tonight. I've yet to train him to sleep on his own though. I realised that I can't do this in front of his grandparents cos they can't take his cries of plea... In the end I'm the bad person torturing him... I must find a way...

And the 2nd word is...

Today Jonah kept going 'dadadada...' and it has stuck ever since! What happened to 'mamama...'??
