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!

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).

The boy's first trip out

Last weekend we headed to vivo city for the boy's first trip out together with the family after the 1 month confinement.  Well nothing interesting or rather he was a good boy as he slept most of the time while we had our lunch (I finally had sashimi!!) and did some shopping, in between we had a coffee break at starbucks while I fed him his milk.  Guess as a 2nd time parent we are more confident and ready to bring the boy out, unlike the first time when we brought No. 1 out - we were so "kan cheong" and blur ha ha...

Jasper's Full Month Party

We held his Full Month Party last Sunday, 19 Sep 2010 at SIL's condo. Fortunatly it was not raining as we only manage to book the outdoor BBQ area.  Thanks to my sister in law, brother in law and sister vivian the place was nicely decorated, the catered food and full month cakes came on time for the guest.  Baby Jasper was asleep most of the time, and our 60 odd guests got a glimpse of him in the pram, some manage to carry him. Party lasted for close to 3hrs and after that we were all tired out. Anyway it was a simple affair but we all enjoyed ourselves.
Food: eCreatives
Cupcakes: Cotton Candy Bakeshop
Full Month Cakes: Sweetest Moments
