Teething

Siyuan started teething while in Singapore, and he now has two of them on his lower gum. We're still waiting to see the rest of the teeth, though there are hints of them emerging on his upper gum. As u can see he couldn't stop chewing when teething, nor dribbling all over the place.
Unfortunately, teething, the hot Singapore weather (after coming from melbourne in winter) and lack of water and sleep meant he fell sick with flu and a fever. It wasn't much of a holiday with a sick baby!

Have Been Remiss

I have been remiss in the past two months, with traveling back home to Singapore and Bangkok, falling sick, teething, coming back and adapting to winter, siyuan learning to crawl properly and then stand with support. Here's some backdated photos and posts. Will add more later.

This is wife and Siyuan enjoying the afternoon sunlight back in Singapore.

Greedy

As you can see, Siyuan can now grab different objects with both his hand, hold onto them while he looks around. Or he could play with one of the object, and leave the other one dangling in the other hand, much more rare. the variety of noises he makes seems to widen with the weeks. Now he whines with a ma ma sound. the first time i heard it, he was protesting me changing his diapers just before his last feed near midnight, which means he doesn't know the meaning of papa and mama yet.
He also seems to have picked up this habit of making pooing sound, while spitting out saliva. We couldn't figure out where he picked it up because we both don't do that. I reckon it's just something that's easier to do rather whine.
I wonder when crawling starts? He can move around quite a bit now, just by rolling around.

Solids

So, we've started him on a little solid a day, to let him get used to it, as well as bit more formula...still breastfeeding, but just easing gradually towards weaning at some stage. He seems to like the taste of food, guess it offers him variety.
The only issue? more solid shit too. Whereas in the past when he poo, the poo is watery and so spreads out in his diapers, allowing him to poo more. Now the poo just sits there between his butt cheeks and the diapers, and he's restricted from pooing more. So he has to work harder and shit a few more times, and you can sometimes hear him grunting away. And oh yeah, it stinks.
