How do you store your disposable diapers?

I slice it in the middle on 3 sides and fold it open. How about you?

Way: Now that I'm on my tummy, what's next?

That's what he seems to be wondering. This baby is intent on rolling over, over and over again. Then he seems to be figuring out what's next. I think he wants to crawl, he looks in front of him, as if willing himself forward, but his legs are held straight afloat,  as if flying...

Funny. Frustrating for him.

Keep trying, little one, you'll learn soon.

Comotomo to the Rescue

And some props to keep both of us comfortable, and we'll entertained.

I tried once a day with this bottle, he first drank 15ml, then 25ml, 25ml, then 40ml, and today 35ml again! Today, I was trying for 55ml, but I think he was sleepy already... Fussed, latched on a bit then slept.

He was actually trying to put it in his mouth today. Sucking is still a challenge for him though. He did try a few times, but think it's different from latching on. With this bottle I could squeeze the bottom, to help move things along. That's the beauty of it. And it doesn't spill easily even if I lose grip for a bit.

Thanks, Missy Sya from FB for recommending it to me!

Macho Man Can Roll to Tummy Now

And quite professional at it too. This started last week, somewhere in the wee hours of morning, after latching on... He is 4m 2w old.

Rolling back is another challenge.

Keep it up!

Doubled His Birth Weight at 4 Months

What a coincidence.

We went for his 5-in-1 immunisation last Tuesday, which included 2 injections, and 1 oral Rotarix. He weighed 6.825kg (3.4kg at birth) and measured 62cm in length. I must have looked comical trying hard to and expecting to stretch his neck out like an accordion, trying to add another half cm. The nurse was certainly amused.

Wow, just 2 more months, then he can have solids! 2 more months and I won't be his sole source of nutrition. Yay! Erm... Sorry, I love Baby Way too, but it's a kind of freedom and stress unloaded for me, since Ning seems to need me more during these transitions... Lougong, it's not just taking her to gym, but the support and pride she feels from Mummy. Hehe. I gotta do it. We don't want to kill her only interest / enrichment right? I mean, besides Math, that is due to you and her best friend...

There, I've said it. Phew. Counting down the days researching for baby food preparation, storage and feeding now!

My Mother's Day Cards 2015

These are the cards from my 5-year old, Ning. My favourite is the rainbow card which she did while waiting for school to end.

Then again, she has always shown me her love all year long, making every other day a Mother's Day. She can make me into a monster sometimes, but I will do it all again, for her.

Hua Shay Ning, Mummy love you very much, now and always.

Roll over, baby!

Lately, especially the last 3 days, the little one has been trying to rollover to his tummy relentlessly. With mixed results.

Sometimes, he manages but over-rolls right back to his back. But mostly he gets stuck like the picture below. Yesterday, he managed to roll his legs over consistently, like the second picture. The head and under pinned arm is more tricky.

Check out his expression in the mirror. He was trying to watch TV.
