The many faces of Jayden

...After much procrastination, we finally bought the bumboo seat for Jayden.

It's amusing to see the many faces of your baby when you put him on a new toy.

P.S. Of course, the excitement is usually short-lived. :( He was yawning most of the time.

Always use your head

Jayden has been showing signs of crawling at 4 months but all attempts failed when he tried to kick, wriggle, stamp his hands & feet. So finally, he found the way to get his around...

... by using HIS HEAD.

See how he squealed in delight when he found his new 'skill'. :D

Let time stand still...because...

Hair extensions anyone?

I've been losing an outrageous amout of hair.

It is enough to make hair extensions or make a bald man weep at the amount of hair I could afford to lose. Blame it on pregnancy hormones. My hair just keeps dropping, I have hair everywhere in the house, on my bed, even sometimes I find Jayden covered with my hair after kissing him. :(

This is very depressing. Dylan suggest I wear a shower cap.

I hope it stops soon...

When you have a baby...

... Even a queen size bed is not enough for him... Jayden has been sleeping beside me every night as it's easier to attend to the little one when he needs me.

Ever since he knows how to flip, turn, roll, whatever-you-may-call-it, sleeping with him will sometimes result in: -

1) Finding him at the edge of the bed (you'd wonder how he managed to get there beyond the pillows and bolsters surrounding him)

2) His feet 'slapped' across your face (you'd also wonder how he managed to do that because he was actually sleeping in parallel with you)

3) Finding yourself waking up several times in the time whenever he yawns or sighs in his sleep (yes, he actually makes yawning sound IN HIS SLEEP)

4) Finding him turning over to grab your hand before falling back to sleep.

It is really amazing to see how a baby be so active even when HE IS SLEEPING. -_- And this resulted to a very worn-out mommy because her sleep was interuppted several times because of these little night activities.

I must move him back to the cot soon.

2nd vaccination

Today, we brought Jayden for his 2nd vaccination. Unlike the 1st time, where we'd worry that
1) It's his milk time when the doctor sees him,
2) He'll start screaming and tearing the entire hospital down because he couldn't sleep,
3) He'll burst his lungs out crying after his jabs.
Today, we felt like confident parents for the 1st time.

After 4 months of 'wrestling' with our little terrorist, we finally got the hang of it, tho still amidst the sleepless nights, the joy he brings to us each time he flashes his gummy smiles is PRICELESS. :)

We took Jayden out for lunch in hope that he'd have a good nap before his appointment at KK hospital. WE WERE SO WRONG. Our restless baby just wouldn't sleep! We were worried that he'd get cranky as his appointment time draws closer.

The doctor did her routine check on Jayden.

At 4 months 1 week, Jayden was: -

Weight: 6.39kg (@ 2 months was 5.29kg)
Height: 62cm (@ 2 months was 59cm)
Head: 31.5cm

Doctor said his weight and height was at the 25-50th percentile. Not very promising for his weight hor. :(

Jayden was doing fine when the doctor examined him. Coo-ed, smiled and even did a short tap dance for her. (We were secretly thinking Jayden was trying to impress the female doctor. Hehe...)

So we thought he should be fine and even while we settled him down for the vaccination, he looked all cool and ready UNTIL the needles went into him and he was a goner, screaming on top of his voice. :( Chey...and we thought he's going to be a hero today.

Tonight will be the moment of truth. I really hope he doesn't catch a fever and sleep well. Let's just keep our fingers crossed...

Jayden is a rich boy...

This year, Jayden had his 1st experience of receiving ang baos. And to our amazement, the amount he collected was far more than the amount Dylan and I ever received in our life! It's nice being a baby sometimes! We finally found a new source of income. Heheh...
