Jaden approaching 6 months old soon!

Jaden will b 6 months old this coming 21st..

Went for his vaccination this morning.. he felt the syringe, felt uncomfortable n cried.. mil was coaxing him.. had another appointment for him when he is 9 months old, no injection, just a routine checkup, more on his motor development.. mil said he learn everything faster than any other bbs, sure ok one..

Jaden is slightly underweight, as stated by the nurse.. hmmm... according to the table, he shld weigh at least 7.5kg, but he's not even 7.1kg loh..
This playful baby of ours sometimes rather play, or sleep than to drink his milk.. mil n I agreed that Jaden is a good sleeper.. he loves to sleep, even til now.. mil said, by right babies who sleep a lot shld b fat, n indeed Jaden looked chubby, but he's not heavy.. will try to make him drink more, but heng ah, he is not over-weight.. or else need to control his diet, by then even jialat.. but both hubby n I aren't big sized people, so Jaden wouldn't b fat too.. we must think of something to try let him drink more..

just now went hair salon with mil, while hubby tends to Jaden.. i went to trim my hair, while mil cut her hair short.. we went to supermarket to buy some of Jaden's food, to prepare him for his 6 months nutrition...

He drinks Wyeth S26.. quite exp i koe, but he drinks it well.. compared to him drinking Nestle Nan 1, he had diarrhea, then i still have 1 can at home loh, dunno whether to throw or not.. whoever drinking Nan1, please tell me, i give u.. initially thinking if to change the brand, but in the end, decided to stick to Wyeth.. so we bought Wyeth Promil Gold 2, follow-up... the current Frisocrem cereal he has to mix with his milk, we bought the follow-up can too.. n bought 2 more bottles of Heinz Pureen for him.. mil bought 1 n let Jaden try the other day, n he quite like it... gotta let him try diff kind of nutritious food liao, n will intro spoon feed soon..

Hope he can adapt to the new food coming up soon... as he needs more diff kinds of nutrients as he grows older..

As for educational DVDs, i dun plan to let him watch any earlier than 6 months old.. readings proven tat the earlier u let your babies watch tv, his/her attention span will b v short when they grow up.. tats y i dun let him watch tv.. babies' linguistic n etc development are established n activated with parents' or caregivers' attention towards them.. talk to them, sing to them, play with them.. this is wat they need as a little infant.. dun blif, go read up... mayb due to my profession, i get to know some prob with the kids now, so tats y i try to minimise the % tat it will happen to Jaden.. let your bb look at u when u talk, play or sing to them.. Jaden can concentrate to me when i flash the flashcard to him n read to him.. let them b cultivated with all these good habits b4 letting them watch tv..

There's more things to buy when he grows older.. luckily i have PLENTY of storybooks at home, so tat i can read to him.. so no need to buy.. heng ah.. both english n chinese, i have it.. when he's even more nearer to 6 months old, will have to train him sit with me/hubby, while we read to him... wow, many jobs for us to do as a parent.. nvm, i'm willing... i'm prepared to do all these to Jaden, coz he is my responsibility.. Dear Jaden, hope u grow healthily ok??
