Jasper @ 4mths

The boy is into his 4th month today! His daily schedule is now more or less settled with 2-3 naps and 5 feeds a day.  He's really getting more and more vocal and noisy.  He's into exercising his vocal cords by "screaming" and squealing.  He still loves to put his hands/fists in his mouth and suck/munch on them, since than we have gotten him the teether to munch instead of his hands, but he still can't hold very well on it so we still need to assist him.  He likes to look at things that make noises ie. rattles/musical toys, so he can lie and his gym mat for quite sometime before getting bored.  The boy now prefers to sit upright as well as be carried upright instead of lying flat.  Anyways he has been trying to roll / flip over to his tummy but can only do 1/2 - 3/4, think very soon he'll be able to flip - that's when we really have to be extra watchful of him.

Milestones:

• Recognizes your face and scent

Passport to Travel

The boy has gotten his passport @ 4mths old, even earlier than his big sister.  His first holiday trip will be a road trip to Malacca! I'm actually not too keen to bring the boy as I think he's still too young to travel and hard for everyone to enjoy, but the hubbs is keen to go with his friends so I give in...

3rd Mth immunisation jab

Brought him for his 1st dose of 5-in-1 immunisation jab today.  All looks fine with his development; his wt and ht are in normal range, but PD pointed out that he does have a bit of sensitive skin.  The lump at his groin area is still present tho and PD says it doesn't seem to be growing so just monitor and allow it to slowly shrink.

He was really brave and didn't fuss much during the jab only gave a loud whine.  Now we need to monitor his temperature for fever...

After note: He developed slight fever during the evening and fever subsided till next morning after 1 feed of paracetamol. However he had on-off slight fever (37.5-38)the next day - decided not to give him medication and allow the fever to subside on it's own since he's still feeding and playing as per normal.
