baby caleb is now 4 mth old ... weighs abt 7.5kg and is 68cm tall... :P
we brought him for his jab and to our surprise, he didn't cry ... coz the doc was so fast ... so fast till the extent that we wondered if doc did inject him ... ha ha ...
unfortunately, caleb was feeling uncomfortable for a few days - he felt warm but there's no fever ...
as the days progress, caleb has discovered his toes ... yea - he would bring his little foot and play with it ....
also, he likes to sit at the dining table when papa and mama are having their breakfast/dinner/lunch ... and he would pick the right timing! each time as we were to tuck in to our main course, he would make noise to show that he wants to be carried .. ha ha
on his sleep pattern - he needs motion to help him to sleep at night ... it will be the yao lan, sometimes it will be his little chair - each nite, we would have to try the various method to get him to sleep ...
also, he likes sitting at the piano with me ... tinkering away ... some times he would sing along too ... ha ha ...
Caleb @ 4 months ...
Random tots about caleb
where did my smiley angel go to? nowadays, he is quite grouchy ... doesn't smile that readily ... what is wrong? not enough sleep?
he is also not drinking as much - sometimes one oz, sometimes 2.5, sometimes 3 ... haiz.....
just days before he turned 3 mths, we brought him for his 5-in-1 jab ... he was happily talking to the doctor before letting out a loud wail ... haha ... the entire day, he was feeling tired ... my mum says that he didn even dare move his legs ... poor darling ....
at night time, he was crying badly in the car. he only stopped after the car started to move ... also, his temp was around 37.3 ... being kia see, i fed him some fever medicine before putting him to sleep .. i think he slept well that night ...
Caleb is 3 months old
yep, baby caleb is 3 mths old... he is now 62cm tall and weighs 6.9kg...
his favourite activity now - eating his fists, grabbing his shirt and putting it into his mouth ... he is trying to turn over to the right side ...
his favourite person now is daddy - only daddy can calm him when he is very agitated ...
he needs to start sleep training ... we realised that every evening, around 8-tish, he would start getting really grouchy and unhappy ... if left unattended, it will escalate into a full blown crying session .... so, we decided to start him on a sleep routine as soon as possible ...
today, i tried to get him to nap at 930am & 130pm ... after being awake for an hour to two ... and also, he is beginning to turn grouchy ...i hope to get him into bed before he turns grouchy tonite ... it is really energy consuming to calm him ...
Caleb's favourite person
Baby Caleb has been grouchy the entire week .... based on the info that i gathered from my mum and from the days that I had to take care of him...
Just last weekend, he was such a sweet baby - smiling and talking to me and has no problem falling a sleep ...
this week, we noticed that he cries more and sleeps on a less frequent routine ...
on thursday nite, he cried till his head shaked and almost lost his voice ... no amount of hugs, carrying, walking around the house helps ... i carried him and stood in front of the divine mercy pic at home ... he stopped crying for a while but resumed again ... told myself to keep my cool (yea, coz daddy is attending his RCIA)... in the end, i put him in his sarong and he fell a sleep ... phew ... it has been a long time since he cried so badly ...
friday nite, we wanted to go out with friends to chk out some bridal stuff and so, xp, sk and me drove to clementi ... along the way, baby caleb just cried all the way ... sweat for my friend who has to sit behind to look after him ... he was alright after she carried him out of the car and daddy took over ...
saturday afternoon, he also cried like mad ... and i am unable to console him ... guess who came to his rescue - his dad ... once he is in daddy's strong arms, it seems like a blanket of peace fell upon him ... he would look at his daddy and stopped crying ...
hmmm, at least there is someone who can comfort him ... BUT HEY! i am the one waking up to feed him and now, he just likes his daddy ... :P
same thing happened on sunday afternoon ... i guess he was feeling hot ... coz after papa carried him and put him on the bed with the wind blowing at him, he is ok ...
hmmm ... so now i need to read his cries more carefully - is it a cry of hunger, sleep or hot?
also, maybe it was something i ate that causes him to be so grouchy, can't fall a sleep ...
Sleeping Caleb
brought Caleb to church yesterday as papa kwee had to facilitate a session ...
baby caleb was sleepy but couldn't fall asleep on his own ...
so i had to put him in the sling and walked around for a while before he fell asleep ...
he is really a darling ... he slept from 3pm, woke up for his feeds ... during communion, father t blessed him and he fell back to sleep again ... and he continued sleeping all the way till 9pm ...
even after i put him back to bed, he continued to sleep, waking up for his feed ...
p.s with a baby like him, i dun mind having number 2 ... hahah but not so soon yet ... :P
He likes to look at his hand, especially when he is wearing this giraffe's mittens
Caleb at 2 months
Our little darling is 2 months old :) and I am going back to work ... hmmm, I am going to miss the days of doing nothing but just look/play with little Caleb and nuaing at my mum's house ...
here's caleb at 2 mths ... he has discovered the 'joy' of eating his fist(s)... but if he is hungry, he will still scream his head off to demand for food ... hahaha
his progress ...
hair is growing (esp the top part)
still want to seek attention - hates to be left alone (a while is ok but if any time longer than 10 mins, he will eh eh eh again)
diapers - sitll will eh eh eh/get grouchy and unable to take his morning nap ...
drinking - going haywire ... sometimes, one feed can take up to 3 hours ... my mum and i are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that he won't take after my eating/drinking habit (yes, i took a long long long time to chew my food and drink my milk ....)
night time - i will try to feed his last feed at 12 mn when he is sleeping ... think this is called dream feeding ... discovered this accidentally and realised that he can sleep till the next morning abt 5 am ... but becoz i am expressing milk, i need to be up at 4 plus to standby *bumpers... :P
more interactive now ... will 'talk back' when we talk to him :)
day time, sleep in his sarong ... night time, sleep in his cot ...
head is still flat on one side though ...
respond (smiling happily) to daddy when daddy carries him or look at him or call/talk to him ....
allows us to bath him when we take his top off ... :)
