Sleeping

Lately we've been trying to teach Sol-B better sleep habits: to sleep on his own, to fall asleep on his own, and to fall back asleep if he awakes. It really requires a lot of patience!

Poor Sol-B has a lot of gas and reflux so sometimes that wakes him up a lot. But if he feels well, he is able to sleep at night for 5.5 hours in a row! Last night around 1am, I heard a stir so I took a peak at Sol-B. He awoke and had his eyes open, and then he fell back asleep! Good improvement. Before sometimes he gets scared after he wakes up and he'll cry and I'll have to cuddle him back to sleep.

Before Sol-B goes to bed, we have to burp him a lot or put him in upright position for quite a while so he won't have reflux. Look at how tired he is but he still won't go to sleep!
















Sol-B almost falling asleep in my shoulder.















Very tired Sol-B burping after last meal of the day:














Sol-B is a very alert baby especially to sounds. Even a little bit of sudden sound he'll jerk. Aiya... too alike his dad!

豬肉佬

Sol-B has many nicknames, one of which is 豬肉佬. Although last week at his 2-month checkup he's only 9 lbs 2 oz, he looks very meaty, hence the nickname! Some bath time pics:

Sol-B enjoys bathtime very much, except washing his hair.



































Look at how relaxed he is! So 歎!
















Sol-B says: "I'm indeed king of the playpen!"




















Sol-B and I finally took some pics together. We haven't taken pics together for a long time!




















Daddy loves to kiss and even more to "bite" poor Sol-B.














Daddy and Sol-B and sharing a close bonding session:















Yea yea having a talk with Sol-B intently listening:














Sol-B sits much more comfortably in his car seat now. He used to cry every time we put him in the car seat. No more of that cuz he's big boy now!

Curious Sol-B

Sol-B is very curious now and focuses on objects a lot more. He loves to look at people's faces, especially mine! heheeee

Unfortunately sometimes he is too curious and doesn't like to sleep, especially in the car. He'd rather look out the window at the outside world zooming by. What baby doesn't like to sleep in the car?!?!


Gung gung and Por Por bought a new playplen so Sol-B can sleep at their home. Look at how focused he is on the mobile!

Sol-B's many firsts

Since Sol-B is only 2 months old, there are still a lot of "firsts" for him.

Last Friday, he had his first bottle of expressed milk. Since breastfeeding is quite established now and he likely won't have nipple confusion. He took to the bottle on the 1st try!




















He also attended Pearl and George's wedding last Saturday for his first wedding. Congrats Pearl and George! Sol-B was crying a lot during the ceremony but luckily the pastor let me watch the ceremony from his office so he wasn't too too disturbing. Also thanks to Lisa who helped me carry him for 1 hour during the reception. A+ grade to Sol-B for sleeping most of the time! hehe

Taking pic with Adele jea jea and pretty mommy Renee:

On Sunday, he also went to dim sum for the first time. Again, he slept throughout the meal in grandma's arms. Grandma went back to HK on Tuesday. Sol-B will miss her.

New pics with Snoopy

Sol-B took pictures with Snoopy again a few days ago when we went to por por's house for BBQ. Look at how much he has grown! Following are the pictures we took when Sol-B was only 2 weeks old.

Sol-B was already quite nosy at 2 weeks at was checking out the snoopies.















Sol-B in big Snoopy's arms:
















Now this is Sol-B at 7 weeks old. He has lost his newborn appearance and has grown quite a bit!

Sol-B fast asleep amongst the snoopies:















Hehe...I'm almost as big as you la, big snoopy!















My nose is much smaller than yours, snoopy!















I'm almost as big as you la, big snoopy!
