a new benchmark of life..baby iyad starts eating

happy 6 month birthday, baby iyad! alhamdulillah, we had a wonderful journey for the past 6 months and baby iyad has been growing up healthily..his developmental milestones had been excellent for his age and he entertained us with his ability and capability (and his adorable, cheeky smile) day by day... i wish to capture every single moment of his life in my mind and i don't want to miss a single achievement that he made...

alhamdulillah, for the past 6 months, he had been growing well only on mama's precious milk... there were times my milk production was low due to many factors, but i would shed blood, sweat and tears to make sure he had enough milk supply when i'm at work and via direct feeding when i'm at home..

now that he is 6 month old, it's time for him to graduate to another milestone..we are starting him on food..we tried baby-led weaning on him, he grabbed the carrot stick and tried to put it into his mouth, sucked it and had a big bite and threw it out of his mouth...he made some funny gestures and expressions and we were so excited about his new milestone...after a while, i pureed some of the carrot and feed him via spoon and he was so eager waiting for the next spoon and the next and the next...

we tried giving him cauliflower, spinach, potato and banana as well and he loves them very much..he still continue feeding on breast milk in between his meals and at night...

we brought him for his 6 month check up and vaccination.. he weighed at 5.6kg and length at 63cm...

baby iyad was also making good progress at school...although he would still cry and scream towards the end of the session, he was very excited to play and did the exercises with all his heart and we are very proud of his achievement...
