When baby Cola was 6-months-old

Physical:
I thought the private clinic will do the measurement when I brought baby Cola to take the PCV (Pneumococcal conjugated vaccine), but no. The doctor only tested on the hearing and eyesight only. So, I roughly estimate that he is now at least 8kg and above. (What kind of estimation, he is already 7.95kg last month! haha)

Sleep:
Sleep at around 8:30pm. Still wake up at least 2 times at night for milk.

Feeding:
Drink 5oz every 3 hours.
Introducing him to rice cereals. For the first 2 spoons, he opened his mouth and leaned forward. But for the third spoon, he opened his mouth unwillingly. And after feeding him the forth spoon, his expression showed that he dislikes the rice cereals 'x' Also, he closed his mouth tightly after that. We mixed the rice cereals into his milk and fed him using bottle, but he chose to starve himself instead.
Next, we gave him Milna Biscuit. He loves it slightly better than the rice cereals.

Interesting facts:
  • He can wave goodbye.
  • He learns to shake his little head and this brings us lot of fun.
Popo asked: Gong gong swing you to sleep, ok?
He shook his head.

Waipo asked: Baby Cola, you want waipo to carry you?!
He looked at my mom and shook his head POLITELY with a smile.
Waipo asked again: Baby Cola, waipo carry, ok?!
He shook his head once again!
Waipo asked: Baby Cola, waipo carry and bath you, want?!
He shook his head and pouted a bit.
Waipo asked: You do not want to take bath?
He shook his head!
My mom said he seemed to understand her!

My sil asked: Baby Cola, next time when you grow up, will you be as naughty as bulat koko?
He shook his head!
Hahahaha...
~~~~~
When we sing the same songs to him, he will shake his little head as if he is telling us that he does not want to listen to the same old songs.

He also shakes head when my mil asked him whether he wants her brother to carry him or not. We tried to test him on this, we asked him the following questions:
1. You want mummy to carry you?
2. You want papa to carry you?
3. You want gong gong to carry you?
4. You want popo to carry you?

He did not response to all the above but once you asked about lao gu (my mil's brother), he will shake his head immediately.

  • He greets me with a charming smiley face when I got back from work.
  • He loves to play the chasing and catching game. Example: I carried him going up the staircase, and the daddy chasing from behind, he would get very excited, laugh out loudly and kick his legs.
  • He learns to clap.
  • He enjoys playing with saliva using his mouth, lips and tongue.
  • He can grab thing with his little hand firmly now. One morning, I carried him down from upstairs without realising that he had his pacifier in hand until my mil asked why was he taking the pacifier with him. He did not drop it halfway.

Remarks:
He is like an angel when he smiles after waking up from his sleep every morning. He is a little monster when he cries in the middle of the night waiting to be fed. I have to wake up to comfort him while waiting for the dad to make the milk. By the way, it has been more than a month the dad offers to wake up and feed baby Cola in the middle of the nights so that mummy can get more sleeps.
