6 months 3 weeks

Ethan is developing at amazing speed... it could be that I only see him a few hours each day... and so it surprises me that hey now you know this...
- flip from his tummy to his back
- go down on all four(palms and knees)
- turn 360 degrees easily on the bed
- hold 2 objects, one on each hand
- he is refining his pincher grasp (thumb and index finger)
- heard him say "ma.. ba.." amongst many other sounds
- can hold his own bottle
- dislike lying on his back, will flex all his tummy muscles to be in sit-up position, once on his back will cry or immediately flip to his tummy
- grown taller, at 6mths he is 68cm, 8.67kg

We have also started him on solids 2 days after his 3rd 6-in-1 jab, and he loves it! We gave him Bellamy organic rice cereal first, and he hates the oily nutty smell, simply reject it twice... but he likes Heinz organic rice cereal. He'll eat like it is the most delicious food in the world. If not enough he'll cry... no matter how full he is, he can always take a few spoonful of solids... hehe. So far he has also tried organic avocado, & steamed organic potato... hmm.. thinking of making him applesauce this week, or maybe jarred organic carrot puree, read that it is not safe to prepare non-organic carrots at home due to nitrate content.
