Standing Up

Lately, Jayden no longer wants to be seated like before. Whenever we put on sitting position, he will stretch both his legs to stand up. Not only that, whenever we carry him up from sleeping/lying position, he will first stretch hig legs straight so we can never put him on sitting position.

Sometimes I just feel that I wish J will grow up faster. Not until I look back on J's pictures few months ago (since birth), I realized that he has grown so much.

Hence I recall the day my little precious J was born, and I was holding him for the very first time on my arms.. He was seemingly so weightless to me.. At that time I was thinking.. well, breastfeeding wouldn't be a challenge for me.. as baby is not that heavy though.

Little that I realize time goes by swiftly, and at times droplets tears of gratitude and happiness pour downstreams, my little J is growing up to be a toddler soon.

Playing with Tongue :P

We have been actively going out lately since hubby's sister (LC) was back from Canada for one month vacation. Thus, I did not find much time to jot down all the little things that J was doing, until today he did something that really amused me. :P

Since Jayden was born until now, I thought his tongue looks like his dad, round and short. He never sticks his tongue out for even a second. Not until today that we found him playing and sticking out his tongue. I think he found it pretty amusing too as he consistently did the same thing over and over again.

Not only that, he would purposely stick out his tongue to lick our arms and give us a big grin, instead of his normal practise - turn his head, put his lips on our skins and start suckling. :P

Wind is Back! =(

It's been so hot lately and our room's air conditioner doesn't seem to work - I think it is dying off. :S

Thus, for the passed few days, we have been putting J under the fan with heavy wind even though we did turn on the air conditioner (I still think the air conditioner doesn't work because there is not much difference in temperature).

Anyway, as J is already 4 months plus going to fifth month by the end of this month, he hardly has wind!! :) As an excited parent, I guessed J was having the 3 months colic thingy as described in BabyCenter. Boldly, I started to let J trying out the an with heavier wind.

However, the result is not really good as J starts to get his wind again! Well, I am not sure if he is just not used to the heavy wind therefore gulped a lot of gas in, or for any other reason. Whatever it is, I am gonna put him under the fan for a longer time and see if things got better. :p

Hopefully the wind will go off as soon as possible so J will always be the happiest and wealthiest baby ever. :)

BNI Meeting

Well, before I go to BNI meeting, I will feed J at around 5.00am-5.30am. Normally, J will wake up again for milk at around 8am-9am and the next will be around 10.30am-11.00am.

However, ever since i go back to BNI morning meeting in April, J has been skipping meals. :( Reason being that he doesn't wanna suckle the milk bottle. I have stored a few bottles of breastmilk in the freeze to make sure that there is enough supply for J when he wanna be fed in the morning whenever I am away. However, everytime my MIL prepared the milk to feed J, he refused to drink and the milk ultimately went down the drain. Sigh..

Well, I do not express breatmilk anymore as I know J will not drink the milk through bottle.. perhaps just wait until he is a little older. Afterall, we will introduce solid to J when he is 6 months.. And I guess the feeding time will definitely be less frequent with solids.. :)

By then, my concern will be the poo-poo.. must be really smelly.. yucks!!! :p

Long Sleep!!

For the very first time in Jayden's life.. He has for a deep long sleep last night.... A WHOPPING 6.5HOURS!!! Wow.. for the first time in my life since labor, I have a 6.5hours continuous and undisturbed sleep.. Guess my baby is growing up.. Hehe.. :)

Well, I hope J will sleep that long everyday.. Even just for one interval per night, that's good enough.

Turn from tummy to front

I am so happy today.. J turns when i put him on his tummy to the front.. within seconds!! it was indeed a surprise to me cuz he has never done it before, and we didn't like do any rehearsal for the past few days.. and suddenly.. he made it!!!

Wow.. My little baby is growing up.. and growing strong too.. Hehe.. ;)

He always has his little head tilted even when he was seated.. Being seated for a while, he is now anxious to stand.. He always wants us to make him stand, even for just a little while.. Well, he's still sitting with support and I am looking forward for him to sit without support.. I know the day is coming soon! ;)

I didn't have him recorded when he did the turning. Hopefully we can catch him turning on a video soon. ;)
