Sun Tan

J has been going out on a daily basis since the day he turned 1month old.. Despite the fact that most people said he has quite fair complexion.. well, I wouldn't have realized how tanned J has become if I didn't come across his folds.. :P

I have always wonder why J is not as fair as mommy and daddy (used to be fair) and I never thought going out will sun-tan him so much.. I think this is mainly due to the un-tinted windscreens on the car..

Poor lil' J.. We should think about investing in tinting DD's car soon..

Tainted Love by DD

There is always a song that will sooth J.. and it always works.. that is "Tainted Love". I do not know who is the original singer, but DD always plays the Marilyn Manson's version.. And it seems like J just like it..

DD tried to play other singers' versions too.. and it works!!! Including DD's singing (just for this song)... :P

I wonder what's with this song that J likes so much.. I have never been listening to this song during my pregnancy.. nor did DD I think.. Hmmm...

Eating Solid - Organic Rice Cereal

Well, for the passed few days, Jayden has taken 2 rice rusks with breastmilk and finish the meal with breastfeeding.. From his respond, I think he quite enjoys it. When he is full, he will blow the rusk out from his mouth.. making things messy.. LOL! :)

Finally, I manage to buy rice cereal for J yesterday. :) It is an organic fruitty rice cereal and it's quite yummy.. Yes! I tasted it to make sure it is tasty.

J still doesn't know that taking rice cereal is a proper meal. Sometimes, he will cry so hard and refuse to have solid meal because he still couldn't relate that solid is a proper meal. Therefore, I do my best to prepare solid for him before he cries for milk, and that's the time that he will eat without making much fuss. :P

Now, J is having 4 teaspoon of rice cereal every meal and I am looking forward for him to have more! :)

J's First Solid

It's a Sunday noon and there isn't much to do since we didn't go out shopping. Since there is banana at home, I am thinking perhaps it would be good to try letting J having a little bit of banana.. this could be a great experience for him to try a little different taste. :P

Guess what, J vomits the moment I put some banana in his mouth!! Hahaha.. well, it's not like he vomits a lot of things, he just makes the vomit sound. I guess he is not used to strong taste yet.. shouldn't be he doesn't like it right? :P

We go to buy some rice rusks for J at Giant as his first solid and see how much he likes it. When we got home, we tried with half a biscuit.. Hmmm.. looks like he likes it!! I am gonna go to organic shop to buy some organic rice cereal for him soon.

Why organic? Well, it is easier for me to find rice cereal that's not just organic, but milk, sucrose, sodium and gluten free! :)

Busy-Baby

I have summarized the things that I observe J doing lately and due to my busy-ness and lazy-ness, I didn't write them into readable blog until now. Hehe.. Finally, I have made up my mind to get them done today and get them posted. Here it goes...

Hands and Feet
J often amuses himself by his own hands and feet. He figures out that he can play with his own feet.. so every now and then, he will lift up both of his feet, play with them, and pull them towards his mouth. :P As a busy mommy, I have to make sure I wipe his feet clean every now and then to get him ready to mouth them. Haha..

Recognize Own Name
J starts to recognize his own name. Not only that, he is a busy-baby, he always turns towards voice and sound. He likes it when we make funny voices and new sounds. :)

Roll' Baby Roll'
J can now roll in both directions. Today, he performs a 360 degree rolling.. First, he rolls to his left side 360 degree, and about 10minutes later, he rolls backward (to his right side) 360 degree again!! It's amazing!! :)

Reach & Drag for Object
Carrying Jayden is harder than before as he learns to reach for objects now. He will lean forward to the object that he is attracted to and will stay in that position until his hands reached them. And then, he will drag and pull the object into his mouth. Even when I am not carrying him, he did it like so spontaneous that he will drag the objects, hold them in his hands and then push them into his mouth. So I have to keep an eye on him all the time. Busy Busy!!

Sit Without Support
J starts to be able to sit momentarily without support. Well, when I say momentarily, I mean it. It's just a little while before he falls to the side. LOL!!

Imitate Speech Sounds
Everyday, DD will be busy talking to J, and the things that DD always tells J is "pa pa". It seems like it's gonna take a little longer for J to catch up "papa" and "mama" but he did very well on saying "ai ya ya". I don't know where J learns it from, but he does always says "ai", "yaya" and "da da" and I heard him saying couples of times "ai ya ya" and "da da" today. Hehe.. How much I wish he will call "Mommy". :P

Strangers Anxiety
I am not sure if I feel it right, but lately, I found that J is having the symptoms of "strangers anxiety". We have been trying to avoid J to have such feeling by meeting a lot of friends and make sure J is having fun with people around him by carrying him and playing with him. I really hope J will not develop this anxiety or else we will have hard time coping with it. Must bring him out more often again. :P
