Asha 5 months

Now Asha is 5months counting days to 6 months. Her milestone so far is, she has started to turn at the beginning of 5months, but I gotta say, she doesn't look so eager to turn hahaha. So she only turns once in a while.. She talks more often now, even tho she looks like she is on the quiet side. She is grabbing things, really likes to hit things with her palm and making sounds.

More importantly, she is starting to show signs that she is ready to eat. E.g she has sit up straight, still wobbly, but straight, and managed to stay in the position for quite some time. She looks eager whenever she saw us eating. Some people have asked why in such an age she hasn't been given food yet. I've done my homework browsing on the net. I concluded that 6months is the perfect time to start, not too late, not too soon. Too soon might cause the child to hate food itself, and making it difficult for us parents to adjust them to food. Too late also might cause the child to be lacking of nutrition. Because at this age, the nutrition in my breastmilk is getting lesser and lesser.

I am looking forward to next week when we are introducing food for the first time. A bit nervous, but bear a positive thinking always. I really don't expect her to like it right away, or likes anything i give her. I'll just do and see how it goes and keep on adapting.

The Beginning

It's a bit late maybe to start a blog *not THAT late* concerning Asha's development... She is *just only* 5months old haha! But I really think I still wanted to remember those itsy bitsy moments for the past five months. So I guess *abit* late is better than never true??
