He did his first trip outside CA last month. He did pretty good in the plane. We booked a night flight and he was able to sleep on my lap. I mostly did take care of his needs. It still quite getting used to. I need to be organized next time for his next long flight international which will going to happen soon. We did follow what other mothers did tell me to give him food during take off and landing. Landing is hard to follow but I can tell that he naturally sense he need to suck his thumb during that time. His not into pacifier and all. He just did what comes to him naturally which he suck his thumb for comfort and somehow really worked for him. Next time, I won't stressed about it if his sleeping. If his awake I will make sure he will have something to chew so he could equalize his ears. But the opposite did happen when we came to CA. Daytime flight was not his thing. He want to explore what he can see so he was anxious in his seat to walk around. He make some squeak sound and I am sure the person next to me had a terrible experience with us. But at least Yanis is not a screaming baby. The stress of making Yanis feel comfortable was a task with that flight. I was stressed out. I just hope the next trip will be easy for him and us.
Right now, his into cruising around the furniture. I tried to hold him and let him stand on his own and pull back my hands but his smart enough to not let go. He will sit down right away when he noticed I am trying to test his skills. Hubby is not pressing the issue of him walking soon. For me, I just don't want Yanis to delay anything if I can help it. What other's are saying, let the baby do his own thing. He can walk by his own when his ready. So far, he loves to walk around the furniture and crawling. He love to explore tiny spaces.
As for food, like his dad his very picky. He loves bread and cheese. His not into cereal and oatmeal anymore. But I mixed it in with other vegetable and fruits so he can have the carbs that needed for his weight. His still very tiny. In the 15 pounds range. Despite his under weight, he will eat when he really like the food. He wants to taste the food on our plate. We give him something what we can and have him taste all differently. He already got so much taste and now his starting to be picky. I hope one day he will not be as picky. It will be easier for me in the kitchen. Anyway, he solely into formula now. I stopped breast pumping the first of July. I decided to stop due to the fact I don't have enough milk to waste my time of the day and energy to just pump 10ml each time. It was an easy weaning and my breast did somehow have pain in a couple of days. The only remedy I took was ice pack and tylenol and the pain was gone after a week. It didn't last long.
What Yanis' love to do during the day is listening and watching his favorite nursery songs. He loves to dance when the music is good. Just like his parents his musically inclined. He will be so happy with music and it calmed him down when his too cranky. I don't know what it is, Yanis likes Nylon or any strappy material, paper, tissue, remote control, laptop, ipod and cellphone. Toy's can't make him quiet if his not in the mood but if you give him what I enumerated he will be glad to just observe the things his holding. He doesn't have any teeth yet but I can see the gum is swollen and maybe in a week or two it will come out. His biting things when it irritated him. There were times too that we give him infant tylenol for his discomfort. For words, he can say dada, dadi, mom, mama , baba so clearly and just bubble with sounds I wish I know what it is his saying. lol.. His very talkative.
I think this is all for now.. will update as soon as I can.
