One month celebration

The first month passed so quickly. We had a celebration for relatives and friends last sat and I just managed to have some time to post on this... this is a picture of J and me taken on the day itself. Unfortunately, he was not too well on the day itself (I attribute to his nanny leaving... poor chap missed her)...

After spending one month with J, I have learnt that he needs to be fed immediately so I have to pre-empt when his next feed will be. As a result, I have taken to expressing milk and leaving it out for his next time instead of refrigerating the milk. It is not as if my milk supply is abundant anyway! At the same time, J has an independent streak in him. He likes to explore his surroundings and tends to move his hands around during feeds. On a few occasions, he was able to hold his milk bottle on his own:

We also visited his pediatrician for his 1 mth check-up and hep B shot and his pedi commented that his growth has been "very fast and he looks like a 3 mth old..." In any case, I have added a section on J's growth in my blog to track his growth...

J also sports a new look now! I miss his crop but hopefully his hair will grow back nicely in time to come. The picture was taken in his sarong (we are using one now in the hope that he will sleep for longer periods during the night... so far, it has worked for 1 feed in the night...):
