mommy checks in

Its a nice quiet Saturday in Seria. We did Aydin's first breakfast of banana and breastmilk. He had quite a bit which is always a good sign. He even did well with the second round of mashed potato with breast milk this afternoon. I think tomorrow we'll continue with the bananamilk brekkie and do a carrot lunch. Hope he likes the carrot. Hehe

We had the Beribi neneks over last night as they went to Azhan's Berbedak with us. Aydin looked thrilled to have the extra company and showed off his developing motor skills passing Grandma's green bracelet from hand to hand, my clever little boy.

A lot of people asked where the baby was last night. It was pretty late and past his bedtime for one thing. He was also pretty moody yesterday, methinks he is still very much into the 'stranger danger' mode which is natural for his age. He's much happier being with a few people he knows well and has thrown many a tantrum when too much attention is showered on him by so many. Child development experts say this is normal and babies will grow out of this. Babies when they are very young become distressed when they are overstimulated and will calm down when they are in a quiet corner with a loved one. His Nenek Lumut knows this well after calming him in quiet corridors at the hospital.

This is why I've decided not to bring him to large gatherings, why stress the little guy out? It also wrings at my heart when he's inconsolable. Happy baby = Happy mommy. Anyways he has a lifetime ahead of him of going to functions, he can take it easy for now.

Love my little guy
