Ern's First Experience - Walker & Solid Food

I bought this walker for 2 simple reasons:

1) as a chair when we feed Ern
2) another toy for Ern.

We started to place Ern on the walker (Saturday) to see her reaction. Obviously, she liked it as the walker comes with several musical buttons...so, whenever we placed her on the walker, music will play non stop as she will press and press the button...

Poh Poh started to feed Ern rice cereal yesterday noon. First attempt, failed because Poh Poh just add water. I guess it's tasteless and Ern disliked it. Second attempt, I added breastmilk and Ern ate it! Yipee.. * didn't snap photo as I was feeding her*

BUT, I need to figure out what other ways Ern will eat the cereal. Mixing breastmilk is a short term solution as I will stop produce breastmilk one day(soon, I think). Maybe I need to consider buying other brands. Another "trial and error" task. :-)

Btw, Ern is coping well with the formula after 3 attempts. So now, she is drinking formula once per day. The remaining 5 meals still on breastmilk, via bottle.

I have stopped nursing her ever since 2 weeks ago. I think it's zero impact to her as I only nurse Ern like 1-2 times a day, even weekend. Moreover, she is too small to associate me with breastmilk. :-)

I have posted new photos on Ern. Check out at "Ern's Photo Collection", click on "Month 5".

Happy Viewing :-)

Rock & Roll

We noticed for the past few days Ern started to creep by swinging her body left and right to reach out something. In fact, she started to lift her butt up but I didn't see any movement when she did this! Poh Poh said it could be a sign of crawling. :-)

First, I was using the Cube Toy (free gift from my gynae) to attract her but it didn't work. She started to get bored with the Cube(I guess). So, I have to use my camera cover instead as the sound of velcro attracted her. There goes, she started her version of "rock & roll"....

1) First, she turned left




2) Then, right



3) Almost there



4) Tadaa, I got it!



5) Ern gave me a "Don't take that from me" look (the camera cover was underneath her, actually)

"Low Battery"

Ern had her 2nd dose of pneumococcal injection & rotavirus. As usual, Ern cried (shorter this time, like 10 seconds) the moment paediatrician took out the needle. She didn't spit that much on the rotarix as compare the first time.

Here's the development of Ern:

Weight: 7.8kg
Height: 67cm
Head circumference: 42.5cm

Within the next 24 hours, we were constantly measuring Ern's body temperature as we were told she may develop fever. Thank god she didn't.

However, she was moody and cranky. Kong Kong said Ern in a "low battery" situation as she was less active and playful. Maybe it's the effect from the medicine. Well, she slept right after the her last meal(11pm)till 7am this morning.
