Month 6

Swe-cha has reached the 6th month marker, yay! He's accomplished so much!

Milk-wise, we're still at the 3 hour feeding cycle. Mommy is beginning to worry / wonder if we're ever going to move forward. Tita A has suggested a couple of books with different approaches to sleep training, let's hope that everybody can stick to the plan.

Swe-cha started on his solids last 5/31, with plain organic rice cereal as his first food. Since then, we've added oatmeal to his diet. He's doesn't always like the new tastes that we give him but we would just try the same item again a few days later and he would usually like it then.

The best part about Swe-cha's 6th month was Ama and Ape's visit, he got to spend several weeks with them. Mommy was worried that Swe-Cha might get stranger anxiety but it wasn't the case. He took to Ama and Ape like a fish to water and loved spending time with them.

We got to go to the farm for PYO berries (pickings were slim so we just bought a few packages from their market) and even went to Atlantic city for a walk along the boardwalk. Unfortunately, the Atlantic city trip also showed us how Swe-Cha isn't ready yet for long trips. He was very good on the way to AC and was very well-behaved all day long. He loved feeling the fresh and cool ocean breeze on his face so he was on his best behavior during the day. He must have been tired or cranky on the way home because he cried the whole two hour drive. :(

Mobility-wise, we found out that he's able to push himself backwards now. Mommy also put him back on his mat after a couple of weeks of not doing it (we packed up his rubber mat to free up some floor space for Ama and Ape's visit).

The moment his body touched the mat, he became very excited and started pushing himself around backwards :)
