matt turned seven months yesterday!

so many things happened last month matt went swimming in cebu and batangas, rode another airplane to go back to australia and started eating solids! unfortunately for matt, he got a cold (and still has it) because of the weather here in canberra. he has also started being very bungisngis and more attached to me. he still hates his car seat but he has allen asleep a couple of times on it which is very promising.

thanks to his activity center i am able to get things done even if it’s just the two of us, even taking showers! lol his sleep habits are ok i guess, it’s hard to say cos his being sick has messed up his night sleeps.

some memorable pics from this month:

i’ve always said that i prefer winter to summer, just because it’s easier to get warm in winter than it is to get cool in summer. i think i like summer better now! winter is so hard with a baby, having to dress matt in so many layers, and then having to peel off most of those layers when i have to change his nappy. and he’s decided he will poop every couple of hours, sometimes less, which means i’m spending so much time dressing and undressing him!

another downside is we’ve all gotten cough and colds it’s true what they say that if you can just take your kid’s pain you would do it in a heartbeat. i hate it when matt’s having a hard time breathing and i hate it even more when i have to give him his saline nasal drops and try to clean his nose. he hates it with a passion and i have to be the bad guy who has to insist on clearing up his nose. he’s getting a bit better though, i just hope he gets better soon so that both of us can get some sleep at night!

i think for the next baby i’d prefer him/her to be a winter baby. it’s easier to dress and undress a baby that’s hardly mobile, as opposed to matt who doesn’t understand the concept of staying still hehe. and by the time that baby is six months, it would be summer already and won’t have to wear as much clothes! lol

matt turned six months a few weeks ago and i haven’t had the chance to write a post about it until now.

while we were in the philippines matt has mastered rolling over, so much so that as soon as he wakes up in the morning he rolls over straight away. i have also seen him sleeping on his tummy on some occasions, although he usually goes back to sleeping on his back by morning.

we tried training him on the bottle a week before the wedding but he wouldn’t have any of it. instead he preferred drinking from the lid of the bottle, sort of like a cup. on the wedding itself he actually drank from a bottle, probably from being really hungry. he also got baptised on 19 july, and he really hated wearing a barong! LOL

he has also started getting upset whenever we eat in front of him, shouting at the top of his lungs and the only way to shut him up is to give him a boob lol he also puts anything and everything he can grab hold of into his mouth.
