The Chipmunk

Meet Jayden's new toy - The Chipmunk!!!!

The moment I show J the Chipmunk that day, a big smile shown on J's face. I knew he would love it!! Hahah..

Worrying if J can hold/carry the big Chipmunk (compared to the Giraffe), it weighs a bit though, J amazes me by holding the Chipmunk up and down. J tightly grips Chipmunk's hair (poor Chipmunk) and sways it left and right, up and down. Poor Little Chipmunk..

And worst, a small chunk of Chipmunk's hair was found in H's hand.. now you can imagine how strong he is that he tore Chipmunks hair out!! My God!!!

I regret I didn't take a pix of the chunk of hair before disposing it.. What a careless mistake I have done.. Then I will have proof to show J when he grows up.. :P

Oh, I nearly forgot, he even grabs Chipmunk's ribbon till it falls out.. Well, I didn't get to take that picture though..

Tricks

Yesterday night, I found out that J is playing tricks on me.

When I was feeding him last night, he cried so hard and nonstop. When I stop but play with him, he smiled and showed me a happy look. Hmmm.. he is contented. That's when I decided to put him on my bed to let him coo coo by himself.. I guess you know it, he cried the moment I put him down. Sigh..

It's been on going for about 30 minutes when finally, one lucky shot, I put him down, yes, he cried but in less than 30seconds, he stopped crying as he was distracted by the curtains movement (blown by the wind). So he started saying 'ang gurrrr' to himself again. It lasted for about a good 10minutes when the moment he turned his head and saw me.. his mouth changed shape!!!! He made a thinning lips with frowning eyebrow.. starting to cry.. Ishhhhh... I should have moved away from his sight!

From this experience, I know for sure that J is bullying me. ::(

For the whole night, J has been waking up frequently for milk. I seriously do not think he was hungry because he didn't drink as much as normal times. Most likely he is awaken by the itchiness of his rashes.. So pitiful.. Well.. I am pitiful too.. :(

Mittens

Since the day before yesterday, J's mitten always fell off his hands.. It's like almost every few minutes, I need to check on his mittens. And sometimes, in less than a minute, it's removed from his hand! Perhaps they were just too loose, since those were newly bought. That's what I thought initially.

However, the secret is revealed today! :) I have figured out why the mittens fall off easily. It's Jayden!!! He has already learned how to take off his mitten by himself! I am so happy to see his new skills, despite it is quite worrysome when the mitten is away as he always scrathes himself.

After taking his bath and "breakfast", it comes to his napping time. When he was asleep, I cut and file his fingernails. Well, his nails are still very sharp even after filing them. :( Thus, every now and then, I keep an eye on his hands, to make sure that he didn't scratch himself.

Yet, it is a very fun and interesting experience to figure out his new learnings. :)

Aili's Home

This afternoon, we went to AiLi's new place in Taman Desa.. It is a cozy little condo she shared with her other half. Hehe.. Other than finishing her lovely and tasty Hershey's choc chunks cookies, she served us ice tea. It's a cozy lovely tea break. LOL!

While we were contributing ideas for Vincent's presentation, I was also busy with J. Other than carrying him around, I arranged some cushions for him to sit with support.. Here are some shots of him taken with my low resolution handphone which I feel like posting a few of them here.. Hehe.. :)

Fussy J.. ::(

Yesterday we went to bed earlier than normal time.. and perhaps it's due to that, J was behaving a bit odd. Immediately after I switched off the lights, J was crying for milk. I think he knows it's sleeping time so he wanna make sure he is full first before going to bed. However, it wasn't a pleasant experience after that. He woke up every hour for milk, a fussy one!

Thank's to hubby for waking up and comforting him (practically hold him and sleep together). His last feeding was at around 12.30am and his next feeding was at 5.11am!! Wow.. that's an amazing 4hour plus!! I was so grateful that I had a long sleep!!! :P

After that, his feeding was at 8.30am. Well, not as long as earlier but hey, this is so much better than 2hourly feeds. :P I think his pattern is resuming back to normal again. Thank God!!! :)

As usual, this morning J has been incredibly fussy. For some reason, he will be very fussy once a day, normally is between 10am-2pm. But I think he is not feeling well, that's why he is behaving like that.. but hey, once a day.. hmmm.. Anyway.. I was very disappointed at times because MIL likes to apply talc on his neck after bathing, though we had told her numerous times not to because J's next is terribly hurt. So, I have to clean it again before applying salve on it.

The pawpaw salve that Penny gave us worked wonders the first time I applied it on J's neck, however, it doesn't seem to show any miracle lately. I wonder why. :( Anyway, mom suggested me to apply Ginseng powder, so I think there's no harm trying it. Let's see how it goes.
