Max 3 Months Update



Our little man is growing like a weed. :D He is already way over half of his sister's weight! He is now 6kg and Kaitlyn still hovering at 10kg. He has these adorable chubby rolls, double chin and a very round tummy. He can sit with support now and looks like a little buddha. I just love chubby bubba...

He had his 2 months shots and amazingly did not get sick at all. He didn't even get more cranky than usual. It was still terrible to watch him getting jabbed twice and forced to take meds though. Next one is at 4 months I think...

He rolled both ways now, tummy to back and back to tummy, although he would only do the full rolls when he is very mad/frustrated. He is constantly rolling to his sides though.

He has very good neck control now and can lift his head up for quite some time.

He does this silly thing while feeding... He would look up at me, stare at me for a while, and if I make faces at him, he giggles and laughs out loud, and sometimes make faces back at me. I try not to do that too often though because he forgets he is eating and chokes and coughs sometimes when he laughs too hard. But it's so very cute and such great bonding moments.

He makes lots of cooing and sounds and is getting louder everyday. He does the same thing as Kaitlyn when he yawns, making a very cute long yawn sound. He also started to imitate some simple sounds that we make.

He loves to be tickled, also loves to have his head rubbed. These always make him smile wide or laugh out loud.

He now follows faces and objects and grabs things. He recognises my voice and foot steps and would always look around for me if someone else is holding him.

He finally starting to have a pretty stable schedules. His last feed is between 6:30 and 8pm, after that feed, he baths and goes to bed for the day. He would wake for a feed between midnight and 2, then back to bed till between 5 and 7. Sometimes he would nap a bit after that, sometimes just lie there entertaining himself for a bit. He would wake for the day between 8:30am and 10:am. Then feeds from there every 3 to 4 hours. He gets 6 to 7 feeds a day, awake for 1 to 1.5 hours and naps for 1.5 to 2.5 hours between each feed.

He loves Kaitlyn I think. He always smiles and coos when she talks to him and plays with him. He lets her move his arms, legs and rubs his tummy and head. She points at his face and names all the facial features, and he just giggles.

I just LOVE the toothless baby grin and the loud baby laughs... can't get enough of them.
