Babies grow really fast, my mother just can’t believe that I’ve already spent half year of my life. Mom have this idea of  keeping my picture every month so that she  can easily see how my personality changes every month.  So can you spot the difference?

I had my DPT vaccine (Diphtheria?Pertussis?Tetanus) last saturday August 16 and will be back in the hospital for the second injection of this vaccine on September 6. It hurts huh!

Well, being a six month old baby  mom can easily tell now that I’m a right handed baby because I’m always using  my left hand in grabbing things and holding something directly to my month. Lately I have this manner of pulling everything wherever my hand reaches that is why you can always see falling objects inside my room.

Some situation me and mom have misunderstanding were during diaper change she have a hard time to change my diaper because I want to roll over right away from the moment she put me down so all I have to do is cry during this time. And oh! before I forget she is worried because I’m crying or laughing  almost always on a high pitch, she forgives me on the noise I made by thinking I will be a  great singer someday. But a part of her mind is  worrying not knowing whether I’m growing  normally or not , some says that I’m just trying to communicate by shouting. Another thing is that you can hear me crying but easily laugh when someone teases me which results crying and laughing at the same time like crazy .LOL.

I just wish I can speak soon so that I can express myself in words.

This was my photo when I turned five months old. This is a stolen shot while playing with Dad. There are times when mom jokingly says to my dad that maybe her real baby is not me … maybe accidentally changed in the hospital when I was born. Silly thinking mom. She said that because me and mom never looks the same in any angle. But dad will answered with a big NO because he said that my face is very much looks like him and he is very glad hihihi I don’t know why hes glad maybe because I’m cute. Anyway forget about it because that conversation happens many times.

On the other hand one thing they’re not discussing is about my eyes. I have a big expressive eyes. Both of them love my eyes.

A health worker in our place came in our house yesterday to see me at first mom were hesitate to talk because she still not good in speaking complicated and deep Japanese language but when the lady says that she wants to talk about the baby yes that’s me, then mom feels glad and decided to talk with the woman because there are things mom worrying about me. At first the woman asked mom everything about how she feeds me, mom always worried about me because lately I stopped drinking milk in the bottle before it was mixed breast and bottle milk feed. I don’t want the rubber nipple nor the taste of formula milk its like a pacifier. It will be almost a month of intensive breastfeeding. The woman asked about what time I sleep and wake up. Then they talked about appointments, what to do when the baby have a fever, etc. The woman give different advice to mom. Lastly they started to undress me and put me on the scale… I was 6.8 kls and they measured my height I was 60.0 cm. They made a chart and the result everything was normal. The woman says that I need to go to my pedia for BCG vaccination since I am four months old. Thoughts of going somewhere makes me feel happy because I don’t like to always stay in my room I always want to go somewhere. I hope we can go next week.
