Jasper @ 2 months

Jasper is 2 months old today! Time seems to go by quickly for the 2nd child.  I really don't want to think about the time when I have to say bye bye to my Maternity Leave :P

At 2 months old the boy is growing very well and still maintaining his good appetite for milk - He'll get really upset and make an angry loud cry when his milk is not serve to him fast enough. Anyway I'm still mixing his feed of BM and FM. He enjoys bathing and has no fear of water. He seems to be slightly more wakeful nowadays so we have brought out the playmat as well as fix on the cot mobile for him.  As for his sleep pattern, it still remains fairly the same as he has not begun to sleep through the night yet. Still waiting for the BIG day he can sleep longer at night... since no.1 slept thru when she 2 months, but than again she was a lazy piggy and didn't fancy milk. Anyway like they say every child is different so better not compare.

Anyways here's a picture of him taken a couple of days back. So cute and innocent!

Milestone:

• Vocalizes: gurgles and coos

• Follows objects across field of vision
• Notices his hands
• Holds head up for short periods
• Smiles, laughs
• Holds head at 45-degree angle
• Holds head steady

Celebrity birthdates

Just some silly post / comment I had earlier wanted to make but didn't have time.
Our 2 bundle of joy coincidentally enjoys the same birthday as some of our fav celebrity.

Hazel's birthday is 13 Nov - same as Kimura Takuya 木村 拓哉 (My fav Jap actor beside Fukuyama Masaharu)
and
Jasper's birthday 23 Aug - same as Alan Tam (Hubby's fav HK singer)

Isn't this cool or what since the kids chose their own birth dates! Yes I know this is pretty pointless and 'bo liao'... ha ha ha

Decided to try out the new "rocker" which we got as a gift from Hubby's office. It's called a sunny swing bed and it's from Haenim, Korea. Although the box says from 3 mths onwards, the boy seems to be able to fit in comfortably. Think he did enjoyed it as he manage to get some rest, cos after all he was being rocked.

Week 7

Hubby is away this week in Thailand and so I have the task of tending to the little fellow in the night by myself, luckily my mom is around so we kind of "switch shifts" around 2-3am. She will help me tend to Jasper till morning while I sleep with Hazel in her room. Anyway that's kind of working quite well so far, as I do get some hours of undisturbed sleep. 

So far we're trying to stretch his feeding time from 3 to 4hrs. He'll usually wake up for milk 3hrly and if it's BM it will be 2-2.5hrly, so far he's able on a few occasions to go on 4hrly during his night feeds so praying that he'll adapt soon.
At week 7 he's taking about 130-150ml milk (FM/EBM).
