Hint: 80% of him is hidden under the (white) sofa....

Cereal

Started Aiden on cereal. As expected, I think more cereal ended up outside his mouth than in. Gave up wiping his mouth after awhile.

I love this photo, especially when I realized that you can see his first tooth here! Good shot ya!

Aiden's diarrhea

Aiden has not been well. He has been having diarrhea for the past 2 weeks.

We started him infant cereal but he did not seem to like it. So we tried giving him a teaspoon of boiled mashed potato. It seemed to be going well until he started having diarrhea on the 3rd day. The doctor said that his body is adjusting to the new food type and told us to persist with the potato.

However, after giving him potato for another 2 days, the diarrhea didn't seem to let up. So we stopped the potato. Didn't help. Changed him to soy milk. Seemed to help a little but did not stop it completely. Tried the traditional way by giving him porridge water. Again, it seemed to help a little.

It was so worrying to see him pooing 6, 7 times a day even though sometimes it is just a little bit. And it was even more heart breaking to see him lose weight. The only consolation is that he is still active and playing well.

So many opinions from so many people. We even tried mixing the soy milk with porridge water (Doctor's orders during the 2nd visit) but he started to not finish his milk, so we stopped doing it as well.

Finally sent his stool for testing last Friday. Hope all is in the clear. And that all these is due to Aiden's teething, which could be one of the causes of diarrhea in babies.

Tooth!

First sign of a tooth today with Aiden being just 5 months and 11 days old!

Felt it when i was washing his gums during bath. Peeled his mouth open and true enough, there you see the slighest protrusion of a tiny white tooth! :D

Protest

Starting to dislike the car seat and growing strong enough to kick and protest. See how far he had slid down the seat.

Hubby and I are going to prepare ear plugs as we will soon need to strap him down...

Back crawl

Realized about a week ago that he has started to move backwards already. From the centre of the mattress to finding half of him on the floor.

Being punished?

Concepts of time

Me: Aiden is exactly 4 months old today!
Hubby: Only 4 months ah? Why not yet 4 years old?

Too much turning!

He had been sitting in the rocker for about 10 minutes. I left to check on his milk in the warmer and to my horror, came back to find Aiden in this position!

We have been putting him in the rocker when we don't want him to turn onto his tummy. Looks like the plan is not working anymore, he still found a way to turn!

Babies do love tags

Taggies are blankets invented because babies often like to play with the toy's tag instead of the toy itself.

Even with his very own taggie blanket in one hand, he still wanted the toy dog's tag...

I can turn!!

At just 3 months and 19 days, Aiden managed to turn and move his hand to the correct position on his own!

He has been trying for weeks and always got frustrated when he got stuck. Look how happy he is at his own achievement :)

Hold that bottle

You are 2 months & 26 days old today my dear boy, time to train you to hold your own milk bottle :D

Grab that dog!

Noticed Aiden trying to grab the bean bag on the left of the rocker a few days ago at 2 months and 20 days old.

Was so amazed! Managed to capture him trying to grab the dog's paw on his right :)

Trying to turn
