Alyssa @ 6 months

"Standing" at 66cm and weighing in at 7kg.

Language
She's making many noises which is a good thing. She is a rather "squealy" baby haha. She squeals much more than Nadya ever did. She gurgles quite abit these days as well...and gives little baby sighs that are oh-so-adorable...


Social Interactions
She is slowly recognising people these days I think. She is quicker with her smiles when someone she knows is interacting with her. And I believe she already looks up to her older sister. Whenever Nadya is around, she would be staring at Nadya and watching intently whatever Nadya is doing.


Emotional Control
Erm, little to say here for a 6-month-old. She is a very happy baby compared to when Nadya was her age. She is quick with her smiles and goofy grins. There are times when she raises her brows in a comical way and other times when she breaks into such a happy grin that her entire face scrunches up. Stay happy little sunshine!


Food
It's a trickier affair with Alyssa. She's a breastfed baby, till now. I only managed to breastfeed Nadya for 1.5 months last time. Alyssa has so far gone from 100% breastmilk to a 80-20 arrangement then a 50-50 arrangement and now she's doing 20-30% breastmilk each day with the rest being formula. Why so? Because I was aiming to wean her off at or around 6 months old. Well she's 6 months old now and my supply still hasn't diminished fully so I guess she will still be on the 20% BM and 80% FM arrangement for awhile longer...

I will be starting her on solids either today or tomorrow. :) I look forward to seeing her reaction actually. Because she has been showing interest in our food for several weeks already. :) She stares and licks her lips when I eat in front of her haha...
