Recent developments

J's growth
  1. J is now at a stage where he likes to shove everything into his mouth...
  2. We also discovered that he has a tendency to cry before peeing and it seems that this is common in infants after reading up and checking with his pediatrican :(
  3. He has slept through the night (defined as 5 to 6 hours of sleep at a stretch) for 3 nights and is now still waking up twice a night. This means my dark eye circles are staying put...
  4. J can now turn to his side. What fun for him! For us, it means being extra vigilant at all times now...
  5. He can be entertained/distracted with this baby gym (see below). J's current favourite playtime is literally a ball of fun for him now :)
  6. J can grasp objects now (see below)! Yeah! :)



Our life
  1. We finally have a family outing to eat at Din Tai Feng and this is a fuzzy image taken at Raffles City.

  2. We (just G and me) took a trip to Beijing... this trip is a "work trip" since I am still persisting with cow duty so I pop back into the hotel ever so often and Beijing's bad traffic does not help matters. It was good to spend some time alone with G and to meet Y, an uni friend in Beijing...
  3. Am going back to work next monday... I hope my brain is not too rusty and that I can continue to express milk till J is 6 months old. Am back to work before the end of 16 weeks so I can take another stretch of leave around Mar to May. This will be the time when my mummy has to look after my niece after my sis-in-law goes back to work.
  4. We hired a live in help. For the past 2 weeks, she has helped with housework and learnt to interact with J but it does not feel right to leave J alone with her so still counting on my mummy to help out. Arrangements will be made as and when things change (i.e. niece is born)...
