Isaac @6months


Weight: 9.1kg
Height: 70cm
Head circumference: 45cm (I think or was it 42?)
Teeth: 2! Yay

I've started to feed him rice cereal when he's 5 1/2 months old. Besides rice cereal I tried Rusk biscuits+EBM, apple & pear puree. Compare to Naomi, Isaac is not that 'open' about food. Well, no worries for me as I guess every child is unique and I hope he will be willing to try and experiment with variety of food one day. I still breastfeed him and he will take about 6-7oz of EMB. I express my milk 2 times during office hours and will feed him direct when I'm at home with him. He still wakes up in the middle of the night for feeding.
I'm not sure whether it was his teething that gave him problem in eating solids but he has been cranky and refuse for the last 1 week. Finally, we saw 2 teeth on his bottom gums. Sometimes, he will 'bite' when I direct feed him and I need to control my expression cause if I over-react he will laugh (as though I'm encouraging him). But most of the time, I will scold him and ask him not to do it again.
As for his motor development. He's able to sit without support now, roll over both side and able to crawl from one end to the other end using his stomach.
We took Isaac for his first swimming experience 2 weeks ago and he's loving the experience!
