Aston's Progress @ 6months

Aston turned 6 months last week and to me all of a sudden he sound so grown up.  He's no longer the small little baby that just eats, poop and sleep.  I must say he is one matured little boy.  He loves being around people but it does not mean that you have the permission to hold him.  Yes he has developed separation anxiety.  He just like to listen to adult conversations as if he's part of the conversation.  He will be even more delighted if we include him in the conversation.

I Tried watching babyTv on Astro with him but he don't seem to be interested at all.  I even bought Brainy baby DVD's and that also couldn't really capture him.  At most he will sit for 20 minutes but out of 20 minutes only 8-10 minutes he was watching.  The other times he will look around and try to squirm out of his chair.

Anyway, I decided to make his 6 months old a memorable one by bringing him to his first appointment.  The appointment is to the barber.  Yes, my FIL need to make appointment with his barber to cut Aston's hair.  Both papa and I was very excited for his first hair cut.  I even brought some toys for distraction just in case he started screaming at the top of his lungs.  When we arrived at the barber I carried Aston and sat on the chair.  (It was my first time sitting on a barber's chair too!!) The barber cover Aston up and we told him the style that we want.  Aston was trying to look at the barber when he started touching his head.  Daddy quickly took the toy out to distract him.  Half way through Aston had the urge to bite so papa gave him his fingers.  I think papa was very nervous I told papa to give him his teether he end up giving him his pacifier! Anyway, at the end of it all 3 of us yeh yeh, papa and me were so proud because Aston did not shed a tear.  We quickly went home and papa gave Aston a quick bath to rinse all the hair away and I also had to take shower because I was covered with Aston's hair and we went to Gardens to have lunch.

Another achievement at 6 months is mummy drove Aston to visit greatgrandpapa, grandmama & grandpapa at Bukit Rimau just the two of us! Aston behaved very well.  I was very nervous at first but when I arrived at Bukit Rimau I felt so proud of myself.  Anyway, I fed Aston his lunch and make sure that his diapers are changed before leaving the house.  I couldn't see him because the car seat is rear facing and he is sitting at the backseat.  I gave him his beanbag and a toy hoping that it will keep him occupied.  Anyway, he did not make a noise and somewhere in between he fell asleep.  It was a pleasant drive I must admit.  As for the returned journey, he fell asleep again.  I even went to Gardens once just the two of us to have lunch and we had a short walk because he started getting a little bit cranky sitting in the stroller so I left.
