2009 was a good year, more so because of the new little bubba. I spent ¾ of the whole year carrying Ian inside me, and it’s a tumultuous yet fun journey I dare say. He is such a joy when he finally says hi to this world, and to his mommy and daddy. he has regained the position as the little king of the house, and we all have been relegated to become his humble servants, attending to his every needs.

Like very newborn, he is impatient, and likes to be cuddled a lot. Sometimes he goes to sleep after feeding, and sometimes he likes to carried and sleeps in your arms. He got used to the bottle after my hospital stays, and does not want to suck directly from me during feeding. so I need to pump for him very often now. One day I told him, “mommy gave you nenen, u don’t want. U preferred the pacifier eh?” and he smiles back at me after I said those words. -_-

 A friend told hubby, if baby cries and don’t want to stop, get him to sleep on his tummy. That’s what we did with Ian one day when he bawls at the top of his lungs. Guess what happened? After we put him on his tummy, he keeps quiet for awhile. Then he starts to frown, and both hubby and I thought we finally can get him to quiet down with this trick. Little did we know, he pulls his legs into a crawling position, pulls his hands into his chest as if he wants to crawls, and tries to lift his head up going all red in the face!!! Coming from a baby who is not a month old yet, my mum was marveled and both hubby and I were so shocked we decided to not let him sleep on his tummy anymore. For fear he will injure his neck muscles when he strains that hard!! My mum said this is the first time she has seen a baby does this.

Oh ya, the nurse from Jabatan Kesihatan though that hubby is a big sized fella because Ian is so tall for his age, but I said no to her assumptions. And some aunty who came said that Ian looked like he is 2months old instead of just 20+days. And he has already outgrown his new born sized pyjamas and weighs 4.3kg at 20days. He’s got long, thin pianist fingers and that definitely got me green because I have short thin fingers. -_- that gene definitely came from my mum I guess. Everyone speculates he’s going to be a tall fella, so let’s just wait and see. no matter how he turns out to be, he’s going to be my baby boy and I love him very much.
