flipped at almost 6 mths old

kj can flip without hindrance! today marks another milestone

previously he could only turn half, only his lower body cause he got stuck with his arms which impedes the full swing (of the entire body)

today is the second day im feeding him with solids

first meal: avocado

category: fruits

method: mashed it against a siever then add some ebm (expressed breast milk)

why avocado?

nutritious!

can be eaten raw, so it is really simple

first feed: 28th july 2010

second feed: 29th july 2010

need to follow 4-day rule,

whereby u need to introduce one food (veggie or fruits) at a time for 4 days consecutively before starting the next

this is to see if there is any reaction to the food

this enables us to detect the allergen which causes any sensitivities or allergies

gotta bear in mind that milk is still the main meal at this stage,

food is supplementary

from 8 mths onwards, food will then be the main meal and milk will be supplementing the dietary intake

we did the ceremony last sunday (25th july 2010)

witness: flora ling, edmond, william yip, mommy and daddy

venue: wong kok dimsum

we let him taste a bit of everything

how?

by just touching the food on his lips

something like that, i hope i did it correctly

:)

as for the date for the feeding,

i chose 28th for my own convenience

no special reason for it

i planned before hand so that i could be there to watch his reaction on his solid feeding journey

i will give green light to the nanny to feed him with porridge this coming monday

things to do this weekend:

get a sippy cup for him

so fast i need to wean him off from bottles already :(

and think of whats next on his menu

i could introduce another new 'dish' on sunday!

wheee

just for my own record,
