Mommy's first week back at work..

One week has passed since I went back to work..

The first day was terrible for me. I missed Wayne so much.. kept worrying about him, whether he could get used to not having me around, whether he could get used to drinking from the bottle for so many feeds a day etc... When I went home after work that night, I was so happy to see him! Played with him the whole night.. and then suddenly it struck me that I'd only have the nights to be with him. That short 2-3 hours if I am lucky. And then I cried. Cos it dawned upon me that I probably won't be around to see my little Wayne learning for the first time to grab his toy, or say his first word or take his first step.. Every new thing that he learns, I can only hear it from my mil who is helping me take care of him, cos I will probably be in office typing away or be in some meetings..

It didnt help when I learnt that Wayne was not drinking much as well.. Usually he averages 110ml which is already considered very little for his age. But on the first day I was back at work, he only drank 70 and 80ml for 2 feeds in that day. And, he cried and screamed very loudly thrice.. it was so heartbreaking. I'm not entirely sure he is able to realise at this age that mommy & daddy was not around.. but I think so.. cos over the weekend, little Wayne hardly cried at all! In fact, he was so happy and cheery the whole day. Smiling, cooing and playing with us the whole day.

So that was the first day.. the second and remaining days of the week wasnt that bad. I still missed Wayne alot, thinking about him in office. But somewhere along, I kind of accepted it... that I HAVE to work. That there wasnt a choice. And so I started to feel better. Coming home each night to play with him and learn to be contented with just that. And, yes looking forward to the weekend when I can spend the whole day with him!

And, during the week, on Wednesday and Friday, we rushed home after work and brought Wayne out for dinner. Both times to East Coast as it was nearest our home. That was fun. =)

Another jab at the paedi's!

Poor Wayne had to go for his second jab today! Cried a little more than the first this time round.. but only for a short while still.. by the time we were out of Dr Chan's room, little Wayne was all smiles. =)

At 3 months and 1 week:
Height 61.5cm
Weight 6.1kg

This month, Wayne only put on 0.7kg, which is considered little. Perhaps it was due to the change in his feeding habits now that I've gone back to work. Wayne Wayne must jia you! And Dr Chan said we must let Wayne practise lifting up his head while lying on his tummy more often! As well as letting him sit upright without supporting his neck! Wobbly wobbly still!

Happy 3 months old baby!

On this day, the 20th of July, mommy & daddy wishes our little Wayne Wayne, a very happy day turning 3 months old!

2 months and 3 weeks old

At 2 months and 3 weeks, little Wayne is now 57.5 cm tall. =) He has grown 7.5 cm from birth. Not sure what's his weight as of today, but 2 weeks back, at 2 months and 1 week, he was 5.5kg! Up 3kg from his birth weight.

And little Wayne has developed quite a character of his own.. demanding, feisty and impatient but super adorable too! Hehe. Sometimes I find it really amazing how a 2 month plus baby can actually know how to throw tantrums, show his displeasure and manipulate us adults in order to get his way. For example, he will always want to be carried sitting upright lately. No longer can we carry him lying down in our arms horizontally. Perhaps he is now in the stage where he wants to see things and look around.. once we carry him lying down he will wail and wail. And, thats not all! When he is being carried, he will want you to walk around too! Its amusing, once you sit down, he will start crying. Once you get up and walk, the crying stops! Thats Wayne Wayne's way of talking to mommy and daddy ah!

Anyway, I thought 2 month old babies are supposed to sleep most of the time???

Bu he's in a really cute stage now. He can now smile back at you and baby talk.. and he also loves to suck his fingers! He started doing these when he was about 2 months old, about 3 weeks back. So adorable! Love to hear him gaga and gugu.. and when daddy & mommy sings to him at night, Wayne Wayne will also start to sing (in his own way la.. aahhh oooh...)!!

My first trip to East Coast Park

Daddy was on leave today, so the three of us woke up early this morning to go for a stroll at East Coast Park!

The weather was fantastic - cooling and breezy, with just a bit of sun towards the end of our stroll. Wayne Wayne slept throughout most part of our outing, in his comfortable Maxi Cosi, only waking up towards the end. In his Obaibi polo t-shirt (thanks da yi!!) and Levis shorts, Wayne Wayne looked so cute! Bet you enjoyed the cool sea breeze baby!

Looking forward to more morning strolls with our little baby!!!

Wayne's dim sum outing!

Brought Wayne for dim sum today, its his first meal out with HK's parents and aunty. Went to Tunglok at the Chinese Swimming Club.. and took lotsa lotsa photos! He was such a good little boy, he sat happily in his stroller while we ate.. he spent most of his time sucking his little fingers, while mommy kept snapping photos of him!

Wayne's wearing the cute outfit Aunty Lena bought for him from the States. =) Cute cute cute!!!

Mommy loves Wayne Wayne! And so does grandpa!

Wayne and his new toy doggie!

Say hi to Wayne Wayne & Muffin!!!

Do I look like Daddy??

Daddy & me! I wanna grow up to be like my daddy!!!!

Wayne's attention seeking cries!

Our darling Wayne Wayne seeking daddy's attention - caught on film! See how 'teh' he is, always curling down his lips.. so adorable!!! Over the past weeks, we have learnt to distinguish between his many different kind of cries and this, is his attention seeking cry. Wanting daddy and mommy to carry him!

Wayne wayne makes mommy smile!!

Lately, little Wayne have been smiling alot! Yippee!! And, because of that, mommy have been feeling happy too! It has become a routine now, each morning when I go over to Wayne's room with a big smile and a loud, cheery"Good morning Wayne Wayne!", I will spend the next 15 minutes playing with him.. talking to him and seeing him smile and baby talk! And, mommy will feel so so happy... I love seeing him smile and hearing him baby talk.. ah ah ooh ooh ..so damn cute lor! =)=)=)

And we have been letting him lie on his tummy for about 10 minutes each night recently, to strengthen his neck and back muscles. Wayne cant really hold his neck up for very long yet. Just a few seconds and he will be tired, but its a start! Jia you baby!!!!
