A Journey to Remember

Happy 6th Months Old to our precious
Ahmad Farrel Daniel. Really happy for your progress and development
till today. You are an apple in our eyes. Time flies so rapidly and we
couldn’t believe he is already 6 months today. I still can remember
feeling him in my belly and seeing his feet poke out my belly. That’s 7
months ago. However, the memory still fresh in my memory. What an
amazing experience it was, now he is a big baby. In 6 months ahead he
will become a toddler. And we are really hoping, all the reminiscence
to raise him since newborn will remain forever in our memory.

• As
  a mom, we can feel our baby may ‘need something’ more than formula or
  breastmilk. Yeah.. my biological clock is ticking. Farrel need
  something more!!

• Maybe our baby is beginning to awaken
  more often at night or eat more often than ‘usual’ and we wonder if
  introducing solid foods may be what he/she needs. But pls keep in mind
  that a growth spurt will occur between 3-4 months of age (the earliest
  stage). But bear in mind, he/she may also be waking due to illness and
  teething. Yes.. Farrel woke up more frequent than usual (usually he
  didn’t woke up till morning since he 3 months old)

• Ability
  to know she/he is full from a ‘meal’ with signs such as turning away
  from bottle or breast. This is important so that baby able to
  self-regulate the amount of food being eaten. This helps stop baby from
  accidentally overeating as parfents may continue to feed baby thinking
  she/he is still hungry.

• Doubling of birth weight. Huhu… Farrel is 8kg now compare his birthweight was 3.21.

To
fill up my day without internet, I just ‘layan’ my new novel by Nicolas
Sparks while my hubby keeps himself busy to finish his internship
project. Sometimes I lend him a hand in MATLAB script though I forgot a
lot about it. Special thanks to Nurul and Am because help him a lot in
order to accomplish the project. He determined to finish the project
before Ramadhan if possible; even the time is not against the clock.
For Farrel, he doesn’t bother either internet is OK or not as long as
he can rolls his body on the carpet boundlessly and watching his
favourite cartoon Oggy.  Actually me n hubby
enjoy watching Oggy as well. Hehe.. At present, Farrel likes to lift up
his butt as high as he could, we think he puts a great effort to the
next phase (crawling) which normal for baby developmental milestone.
C’mon babe!!! Allez allez!!!  You can do it.
Latest achievement for him, he successfully gets out from his car seat
by himself when we didn’t buckle him. He truly ‘hero’, just like his
name (Farrel = warrior).
