Techniques

Just weighed you my little darling & you are finally almost a kg above your birth weight - 2.9kg.  It is so nice seeing you getting chubbier and rounder in your cheeks, both face and bottom. :)

Today you were a tad cranky not wanting to sleep until you had your bath despite having your favorite massage by Aunty.  No matter how I tried to carry you, put you in the sarong, cajoled you to sleep (or so I thought), your eyes will be brightly lit up in less than 5 minutes.  I concluded that the crankiness was a result of the morning bath that was skipped in view of the massage and so you had your evening bath slightly earlier.  You cried so much when I tried to wash your hair, face, mouth but kept smiling and laughing when you are placed inside the tub.  You, little one, just love bath time! You slept through thereafter.

I enjoy seeing you hiccup, somehow.  Reminds me warmly of the moments when you were inside of me. Everyday, I will await the moment when you have your daily hiccups.  Now, you can hiccup through a feed.  Sometimes, you can hiccup almost an hour after a feed! That's almost as long (& more) as we need to carry you to get you to sleep because you just love to be cuddled.

Now, burping is the other art that we need to learn.  Sometimes, you burp so fast while seated upright on lap.  Sometimes, you take forever to burp.  As if in replacement, you let out a loud fart.  You also love to be on daddy's shoulders upright.  Sometimes you burp, sometimes you fall asleep.

I guess what mummy is trying to tell you, my darling, is that I am still trying to understand and know you.  You are such a unique individual and I am trying to understand the meaning of each cry.  It's really one thing to attend classes and know the techniques, it's another to have you with us and KNOW the techniques. :)

Nonetheless, my little darling, we love you. :)
