Sitting up and flipping

BB Ashton can sit up pretty well now, he can sit and play his toys himself. This makes our life easier as we no longer has to hold on to him while he plays with his toys.

Daddy bought a few outfit for him from his trip to the States and below is a Pooh outfit from the disney store. The hat looks a bit hip hop style cause daddy bought size 12-18months. hehe.. But he still looks very cute in it.

These few days, I realised he can flip very well, most babies learnt to flip before sitting but for Ashton, it seems to come in a package of flipping and sitting. I was latching him and halfway through, he flipped and continued latching, I flipped him back and he flipped over again, I had to call my mum to come into the room and she gave him a lecture before he behaved himself.

Learning to sit

Ashton started on semi-solid diet about a month back. So far, he has not rejected any type of food and we have given him apple, pear, mango, multi grain cereal, oat cereal, brown rice cereal, pumpkin, carrot and prune.

Here is a picture of his first try of pear puree.

When he is lying down, he can hold the small bottle by himself.

He is learning to sit and here is a video of him sitting by himself engross in his show.

Daddy first business trip

You had your first trip to Changi Airport yesterday but you were there not to take a plane, you were there to send Daddy off on his first business trip. We interrupted your sleep and changed you at 6+am and you were not very happy about it but luckily, you fall asleep on our way there.

At night, when it was bed time, you kept turning to the side where Daddy usually sleeps to look for him to play with you but you can't find him there and you turned back and look at me and this process repeated a few times. Mummy off the light and lied to you and said that Daddy is sleeping and you finally decide to sleep.

Baby Ashton must be a nice boy when Daddy is overseas ok? Daddy is bringing alot of toys back for you to play.

On a happier note, you love to play mahjong, maybe to you, they looks like toys so you enjoy sitting on our lap and "play" mahjong together. Here is a video of you playing:

New toys

Every morning after Ashton wakes up, he will turn to his dad and disturb him by scratching his pillows, touching his hands/face, calling him and etc.. to wake his dad up to carry him. While the disturbance is going on, I will call him but he usually ignores me and continue disturbing his dad. Hehe. His dad finds it cute and annoying at the same time. 

We bought Ashton a new toy - an imitation of the bumbo chair with a cart. He looks very happy in it and even happier when we push him around but the handle is abit too low so I will sit down and just move him around the spot.

"Studying" his new toy

He still cant flip completely yet and he only flips when he wants milk, I think he's just too lazy to flip but he is starting to learn to sit and enjoy playing his jumperoo. He starting to use his hands to reach out for the toys hanging from his jumperoo and it's interesting to see Ashton's development even in the smallest thing.
