Coming 5 months!

Well, Ryker is almost 5 months old. Time flies. I was puzzled by why he still haven't sleep through the night. I tried ignoring his fidgeting in his sleep, refusing to pat him, waiting for him to settle down by himself. Obviously, it didn't work. He ended up wide awake in the middle of the night! Things would be much more convenient if we pat him immediately or give him my breast to nurse. Books said it would lead to problems when he's older. Hmmm....

Yes, he has started on rice cereal when he was 4 months 2 weeks. Initially, i tried to see if his tongue-thrust reflex is present. If it was, it would just mean he was not ready for semi-solid. Anyway, the first small spoonful got push out by his tongue. I tried again, and he got it pretty fast. He could swallow! And he was enjoying the rice cereal. Right now, as compared to the first try, he can swallow much better and was always eating with excitement! His legs and hands would be moving so fast that i'm worried he will knock down the bowl! =)

He could flip now but not smoothly. He is standing at a weight of 8.8kg! I have no idea why he is so heavy. Probably he just has heavy bones like his parents. He doesn't look obese kind of fat =p. His neck is pretty much well supported and he could sit up straight with help. I'm pretty glad that he's one smiley kid too! Sometimes, i just can't stand how my MIL claimed all good points to her son. She always go " Ryker is so much like Yida when he was young" " He is exactly like Yida! So smiley!" Blah blah blah Hey, XY chromosomes, the 'X' comes from ME! 'Y' don't contain as much genetic material as 'X'! Bleah!

Babies grow up so fast! Very soon, i can expect my little Ryker to be sitting up. Yida will be away for 3 weeks and i'm sure he would see a big difference on his precious son upon his return. Meanwhile, i'm pretty excited to take on the one-man show!
