Chloe is 6 months old

Chloe is 6 months old. I'm not sure if time flies too fast or too slow anymore. One of my former colleague just sent her son to study overseas. Then I started thinking if it is me who is sending Lucas to study overseas, will I be filled with joy that I finally get my freedom or will I be so upset that I 'lose' him for good? After much deliberation, I think I will prefer to have Lucas as now. Everything 'mommy this' and 'mommy that'. I prefer him being dependent on me. It is such an adorable phase. Another friend also commented that she 'lost' her teenage daughter. The daughter is grown up and doesn't stick to my friend anymore. So, I am making a mental note to myself to enjoy them now. Yes, the kids are now very dependent and suck all the 24 hours a day of my time, but hey, it is only a phase. Soon, there will be no more 'mommy this' and 'mommy that' and I can't reverse the time.

Chloe is able to turn from the back to her chest and then back to her back. She eats solid but I must say it takes her a while to get used to new food. When I introduced sweet potatoes to her, she rejected the food the first time. The second time, she had a few spoons and then rejected the food. She only enjoys it the third time. The same goes with banana. So far, she is eating rice cereal, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, banana, papaya and apple. I will be trying pumpkins soon. She is going for her 6 months check-up and jabs this Tuesday. Will know her weight and length then. Sleeping wise, she is good. I just need to put her on her baby cot and she will go to sleep without a fuss as long as her stomach is full. She is sitting but not very steady. She reacts to her name. So far I must say she has been an easy-going baby :)

Lucas is building his fondness for Chloe. Every morning when Lucas wakes up, he will go to Chloe's room and give her a pillow or pat her or hold her leg. This is very sweet of him but of course will wake Chloe up as well. Lucas quite often asked to carry his sister. Meanwhile, when Chloe sees Lucas dancing, she laughs out loud. She thinks her brother is playing with her.
