Teething againnn

It's just few days before Richie's birthday but he's down with fever and teething problems.
His appetite was down again for few days when it started to pick up, he got so much saliva on his throat and liked to cough
oh well well...

Hopefully after the tooth has emerged, his appetite was back to normal again

Growing up appetite

Richie has been in good mood for meals.
His appetite is growing strong. He can eat mommy's portion of rice + fruits for lunch and dinner.
In addition he still drinks 600 ml milk a day
Hopefully he grows taller and fatter faster hehe..
Well done boy !

Eating Strawberry

Richie's eating strawberry while waiting for main course and he seems enjoying all by himself

Drinking milk more

Recently, Richie prefers to drink milk than eating meals.
He only takes few spoon of meals and refuses them especially home cooked ones, but when mommy offers him milk, he can drink one glass of it within 10 minutes. Of course, mommy still need to feed him the milk with spoon.
So now he can drink the milk until 800cc a day compare with before.
No wonder, he still looks chubby even though he's not eating much.

Unless, mommy brings him to eat out, he will eat more meals

haiyaaaa....! you can choose what you want now

His big portion meal

Since Richie doesn't really like milk, he eats quite a lot
His breakfast is only 200 cc milk + yoghurt /+ yakult
His lunch is meal portion + 10 pcs of grapes + 150 cc juice
His tea break is 200 cc fresh milk + bread/banana/ice cream
His dinner is meal portion + 10 pcs of grapes

That's all hehe and he gains about 1 kg so far within 3 weeks

Yeayyy...I hit 11 kgs

Well for some other kids, 11 kgs is just normal weight for 18 + months kid but for Richie, it's a big achievement haha...
Finally, he hits 11 kgs scale...means that within a week after mommy gave him fish oil, his weight increases by 300g in average.
Well done boy !

Even though his milk intake is only 400ml/day, his meal portion is almost as big as mommy's
It's really good improvement and he now likes grape very much

Eating Adult Food

home made fried rice

home made fried noodle

After 18 mos, he's sick of soupy food and wants to taste more adult food. So mommy gives him a try when we eat outside on weekend.
Mommy don't cook for Richie over weekend, instead we eat whatever have in food court.
So far he's quite okay, he eats fried rice, char kwee tiau, Indonesian chicken noodle, unagi don etc.

Since he can eat noodle now, mommy cooks him prawn mee, fried noodle ...well it's make mommy's job easier too hehe...mommy doesn't need to cook twice one for Richie and one for mommy and daddy.

As for milk, he's "forced" to drink once every morning about 200cc and once every afternoon after nap about 180cc. And in between mommy gives him yoghurt, yakult, ice cream to boost his calcium intake.
Starting from yesterday, mommy also gave him one tablespoon of Scotts emulsion orange flavour from advises one of mommies.

Hopefully it boosts Richie's appetite and calcium intake too.

Slow intake in milk

Since his diarrhea last time, he don't really like milk especially when he has choice
When we left him with his grandparents, he only drank milk for about 120cc a day sometimes less.

Now, our home is quiet as before so Richie has no choice to drink milk every morning because mommy gave nothing to him unless he finishes his milk.
Hopefully, his milk intake increases

Meal wise, he's okay with eating varieties of meat, vegies, fruits, cakes, rice, pasta etc. Even though sometimes depends on his mood too.
Now his teeth are still 8, hopefully when his teeth are completed, he eats a lot and gain weight more
