Yikes...I hate carrot...mommy tried me on carrot yesterday and I didn't like it at all. I find it too geli and spitted out all. Mommy tried to give me some more and I ended up crying like being bullied.
I don't accept new food easily. It takes time for me to accept a new food. Mommy said better try me on potato instead of carrot.

First Time Cereal
Backdated post..
Mommy started me on semi-solids 3 days before I turned 7 months old. It was brown rice cereal. I didn't really like it. Can see from the photos below.
The 3rd time, mommy added milk into my cereal..yeah.,..it tasted much better...from then on, I started to accept this new food called cereal. Mommy has slowly increased my serving and now I can eat about 1/3 bowl of cereal during lunch time.

Happy 7 months old
A very backdated post...
Feeding
---------
1. Taking 5oz of milk 5-6 times a day. 3-4 hourly. Mostly on formula now since mommy admitted hospital 3 weeks back.
2. Started cereal 3 days before I turned 7 months. I dislike cereal initially but now I am ok with it. It takes time for me to adjust to a new food.
3. I have no problem drinking first half of the milk but come to 2nd half, I will need to hold something in my hand and play with it. Or else, I can't finish my milk. Even with something to play with, I still always leave 1 oz behind.
Sleeping
-----------
1. I still do not have a routine. I am a poor napper. There was once I could nap longer but after mommy came back from her Ipoh trip, everything went downhill. Now with the renovation on, it is even worse.
2. Night time is ok. Since I slept with daddy when mommy was away (Ipoh trip and hospital), now I can sleep better in the master bedroom with everyone.
3. My napping place can be on my own cot in bb's room, on kor kor's mattress in master bedroom or on my cot in master bedroom or on mommy's bed in master bedroom.
Overall
---------
1. I am very playful starting this month.
2. I am very responsive.
3. I always want people to play with me, talk to me.
4. I will cry when seeing people walk away from me.
5. My legs are very strong. I can grab things with my legs.
6. I can turn very fast. The single mattress downstairs is too small for me now. Within a minute, I can roll out of the mattress.
7. I can't crawl yet but I can move my body to the directions I want and grab my toys.
8. I get bored with my toys easily.
9. I like to chew on hard plastic parts, not the soft teether. I put almost anything in my mouth.
10. I started baby talk..first word..tata..then papa...now mama or mum mum... Daddy likes to hear me talk.
11. I don't sleep during my outing unless mommy carries me. I don't sleep in the car seat or stroller. That's why mommy doesn't want to bring me out.
Happy 7 months to me...

Mommy is so proud of you (sleep)
updated by mommy on my 6 mths 3 weeks and 2 days old.
If you read my previous post, you will know how hard I tried to make Isabel sleep on her own and we all FAILED to do that. Surprisingly, when I started to give up and take things easily, miracles happened.
Finally Isabel was able to sleep on her own in her baby cot continuously for 3 times (last night, this morning and this afternoon nap) without much fuss. I was overjoyed when she did it again during her afternoon nap just now.
She was sleepy. I put her down in her own cot. She played on her own. Throw her pacifier away and kicking here and there. I was sitting at my bed. I put extra cot bumper at the side and she couldn't see me now. She played and played for about half an hour, make some noise...and finally she felt asleep on her own without pacifier, patting, carrying or rocking though it took some time. Last night, she fell asleep while I was washing up in the washroom and I asked hubby to check her up in the baby's room because she has not sleep yet. Hubby came back with the surprised answer that, "She slept already".
I never expect that to happen honestly. After the previous incident, I told myself to take it easy. When I started to let go, things slowly fall into places. Well, she may not be able to sleep on her own EVERY TIME. But to me, as her mother, it is a big achievement she has achieved that I feel so proud of..although it may be only this THREE times...haha...it's good enough for me to shout at this moment.
I hope she can continue sleeping on her own. I hope I can be persistent enough not to carry her and have the time to let her go to sleep on her own. I hope her time to drift to sleep will be shorter and she sleeps longer. I hope...I really hope one day, I can just put her into her own cot when she is sleepy and I can come out of the room and she will drift to sleep on her own.
Anyway, if she can't, it's ok too...just take it slowly and don't put too much pressure on myself and the baby...
At the moment, I am a proud and happy mama.
