Rice cereals for his very first time!

Xy invited my family over to her place for dinner last night. She whipped up a simple meal, which of course was really nice. I love the tiramisu best.. why? Coz got ice-cream!! SO the question is -why are there ice-cream in a tiramisu? hmm... Nyways, it was a lovely dinner and lets hope she can hold more of this type of functions! Thankfully, the understanding girl prepared me a room to feed my young boss! *pHew* alas, we have to leave kinda early too because the 'boss' wants to nap and he was getting cranky! He just love to stay home... Gone is the word 'social' from Hubby's and my vocabs dictionary at the moment.

Jaden, too, have now started on his solids. Today is his 3rd day actually on his rice cereals. Although it taste quite bland, but I guess that is what rice cereals for a 6 month old is all about. Hubby and I are feeding him the Heinz First Baby Rice Cereals. He only take in a few mouthfuls, which he blek out half of what we feed him anyway but its a good start. We stop feeding him as soon as he shows signs of struggling and turning his head away from the approaching spoon. Don't want to scare him off solids now, do we? I plan to start to cook porridge for him in a week or two or is it too early for the porridge? I want to get use to the amount of water to put inside the slow cooker, the amount of rice grains, potatoes, carrots and chicken (for the taste). No salt, no soya sauce, no additional flavouring for the little boy!

He is now weighing at 7.41kg. Quite light actually I think but well, doctor did say its okay. Hes not too thin or too fat. Just nice! Doc says the ideal weight for him to reach when he is one years old is only 9kg so there.. nothing to worry about his weight at the moment although there are alot of breastfed kids at 4 months old weighing what he weighs now! Maybe its just my genes fro the metabolism!

Now that Jaden is 6 months old, I have began to bathe him twice daily. Once when he wakes up or when its about 3-4pm, then at night, a quick warm bath before tucking him to bed. It makes him comfortable and makes sleep comes easy!

Been putting lots of cream on him because he has signs of ezcemas at his back, his hands, his body... and of course, the cradle cap. Sometimes when he wakes up in the morning, I will dab enough almond oil on his scalp only to be scrubbed off during his afternoon bath. Then after, apply Doc's cream. I am giving the cradle cap one more week to show some improvement, if not, I shall take Bryan and Dylan's mum's advice and go purchase the Elomet cream which is steroid base to kill it once and for all!

Can't wait for my sister to give birth now. Her expected due date (EDD) falls on the same day as Gwen's birthday! Such a coincidence! *sigh* I hear my boss call out to me now... got to go. *gRin*

Happy 6 Months Old Jaden!

Frustrated at the paediatricians

Its pretty frustrating when you want to take your son to the paediatrician and when you reached there, it has a sign hang "CLOSE". Fine! Maybe its my fault for not calling earlier to check if it was opened but still, it was not a public holiday so no reasons right? Nevermind, then when you call the next day and the receptionist says they are open till 9pm and that was like 530pm when you call.. so fine! You dress up your son and braved through the traffic jam and then to find it close. BUT YOU HAVE JUST CALLED LIKE 1/2 hour ago!!!!!!! Freaking ##!!@@!!

You are disappointed with paediatrician #1, so you decided to try others and there is just one opposite where you stay. Yay! .. only to find out that it might be the wrong choice afterall. *sigh* The doctor actually asked me to wean my son off breastmilk now. WTF? What type of paediatrician asks such a thing of a pro-breastfeeding mother? Weren't they suppose to encourage it instead?

New toy for the 6 month old

Jaden is having his foul mood days lately. Might be due to him teething, so he gets irritated easily OR its just his temper. Short fused boy. Must have taken after his father.

Lately, he prefers to be carried in a standing position and he bounces whenever he cans. He no longer wants to sit for long. He prefers to stand and bounce bounce like a little kangaroo. If he lies down on the bed, then he will kick himself upwards till whatever above his head stops him from moving. His movements look like a caterpillar that Hubby and I now call him the little caterpillar. Sometimes, he is a rocking boat on his tummy. Rocking from right to left to right.

Sometimes, I tend to sleep a little later than Jaden and if he wakes up first, he will try to play by himself looking at his surroundings until he gets bored. Thats when the little boy is up to his antics. He will roll onto his tummy, and then if he could, he would slowly spin to face your sleeping face and then look at you. Ever ready with a smile if you open your eyes to look back. Sweet kan? But this wont last long. Once he knows you are awake, there is no turning back. Its get up and play and feed him time till he decides that he needs a nap, which he will sleep and leave you wide awake.

Today, we took him to The Curve to buy his first bowl because he can start to eat rice cereals. I plan to start him maybe in a day or two, maybe tomorrow.. see how it goes. While I was paying for the bowl at Mothercare, Hubby was showing him toys and according to Hubby, this toy got Jaden all excited at first sight. You know what that means -Jaden gets the toy. So I told Hubby, next time bring me out and when I get excited at the first sight of a bag I like, then he can buy for me too. The reply I got "EAT SHIT AND DIE!" *_*

So now, Jaden has another new toy to add to his collection. *sigh*
The Lamaze Musical Inchworm

o.Oh and Jaden is now longer than 60cm.. Should be around 75cm or more.. less than 80cm thats for sure but still.. My growing little baby!

Last class for Jaden

Never knew so much about the male anatomy until today. Do you know that a baby boy's scrotum doesn't really fall down till hes like 5-6 months old? and if it doesn't fall, its time to make that trip to the doc to find out why. Hmm.. things first time mothers like me without help from anyone needs to know.

Jaden did behave while he was at Sr. Choong's. We started off with washing his head because it was oozing out secretion from the cradle cap. Then Sr. Choong helped me apply some almond oil onto the affected area. o.Oh and I also found out that one cannot use baby oil to treat cradle cap because of its petroleum ingredient. To treat it, one must use vegetable oil. Thus, explains the failure in eliminating the cradle cap from Jaden's head. Jaden, then settled down to have his baby massages. Lucky baby kan? Mommy needs one badly too but too bad! *sigh* Jaden was just too engrossed with his own reflections in the mirror and kay-poing in adult's conversations.

It was rather a good day out afterall, nothing such as tantrum throwing this time. *pHew**

o.Oh and did I mention that Jaden was asked if he could be the demo-baby for the upcoming baby massage class gathering this coming June? Wonder if his father will allow it? Wonder if Jaden himself would allow it?

Good Morning peeps!
