Hitting the Milestones

It is amazing how time flies... Baby Matty will be 8 weeks old come this Friday. It is even more amazing to see how much he has grown in just 8 weeks. Even Dr. Chan cannot help but comment that he is developing fast despite his age. Baby Matty was able to "walk" and lift up his head at the last checkup even though he was only 5 weeks old... he could smile at us when he was barely 3 weeks old. Nowadays he will smile whenever he sees a familiar face... his smile melts Mummy's heart everytime without fail. In fact he was able to hold his bottle for a while today.

The thought of returning to work in less than 3 weeks brings on mix feelings. On one hand Mummy is looking forward to getting out of the house and going back to work... but on the other I won't be able to spend as much time with Baby Matty and be there with him when he crosses each single milestone.

Alot Better

Mummy's confinement is finally over... and that is a big relief. It was really depressing for the last 4 weeks with so many restrictions and had almost "no contact" with the outside world.

We had a big celebration for Baby Matty's first month but it was a little too overwhelming for Baby Matty to see so many guests and being passed around. He had a tough time calming himself down that night.

Things are getting more settled as compared to a month ago, as Baby Matty starts forming a fixed daily schedule. However, it is rather taxing taking care of him in the afternoon when he needs to be carried alot unlike in the morning when he can happily lie in the playpen and keep himself entertained. Then there are the occasional nights when he refuses to sleep. Otherwise we are coping much better than before.
