Aston's Progress @ 7 Months

 I'm shy to admit that this post is way outdated.  In another 16 days Aston will be 8 months! Time really does pass by with just a blink of an eye.  I've been busy lately with Aston demanding more of my time and also cooking.  Yes, it's been a while since I step foot into the kitchen.   Ever since my FIL went for his long holiday I've decided to brush up my cooking skills and at the same time give myself a test whether I can be a typical housewife (ie ensure all 3 meals are taken care at home rather than eating out).  Well on this matter, I must say I'm quite proud of myself that I manage to do it all 3 meals most of the days with the help from our house maid of course!  I even did meal planning on a weekly basis so that I don't need to go in and out of supermarket.  

Anyway, back to Aston.  Looking at him really confirms that he's grown so much over the last 6 months.  He's also much more demanding and very vocal! Well, he's able to turn very quickly and infact it was so quick that he fell off the bed once.  It was lucky that he fell onto the side where I've placed his playing mat and at the same time hubby was sleeping there so hubby's bolster cushion his fall.  Nevertheless, my heart skipped a beat the moment I heard the 'thump'.  Hubby quickly picked him up and hold him tight as he was crying his lungs out but he stopped just less than 3 minutes after consoling him.  You must be wondering where was I and why I left him on the bed without supervision...well I was on the bed with him but I was too distracted with the iPad and I lost concentration from supervising him.  Yes..lousy mother I am.  The whole time every now and then I will look at him making sure he's never at the edge of the bed but just that one minute my worst nightmare happen....A very big lesson I learnt here.  So ever since that incident, unless I am going to lie on the bed watching him the whole time without any distractions I will not place him on the bed.  I will put him on the floor mat to play instead.

Back to more happy occasions, Aston's been taking his solid food really well and loves it to bits.  He's been introduce to quite a variety of food and vegetables but there's still so much more to go! Up to date, this is what I've introduced him:-

 1. Sweet potato

 2. Broccoli

 3. Pumpkin

 4. Cauliflower

 5. Avocado (he hates it)

 6. Banana

 7. Apple

 8. Baby Spinach

 9. Potato

10.Pear

Typically, his daily routine is as below:-

7.15am              Breakfast  (7oz milk)

7.30-8.00am      Walk around the garden

8.00-8.15am      He watch Brainy Baby while I quickly freshen up

9.00-10.00am    Morning nap and I quickly have my breakfast

10.30-11.00am  Morning snack (usually I will feed him fruits/vegetable puree that I have not introduced him before)

11.00-12.00pm Play time

12.00-12.30pm Lunch (7oz milk)

1.00-3.30pm     Afternoon nap

This is how he moves around on the bed by pushing his butt up and kicking the bed
