Brought Baby Joshua to meet my Primary school friend. Kaiwei, Annabella and Xiu Zhen (who joined us at a last min notice). They comment that Baby Joshua is very adorable.

First time try feeding him in the pram. It's a success!

That night he slept about 1am and woke up at about 8.45am. Is that consider sleeping through the night? As Xiu Zhen mentioned that if sleeping through the night is like 12hr stg. No disturb.

First time in Chalet. Hahahah... We brought Baby Joshua to Changi SAF Chalet. We had a 5 days 4 nights chalet at Changi. He did not sleep much during the afternoon. Sleep abit then wake up. Baby Joshua sweats easily. I suspect he have sweaty palm. Sometimes when i open up his hands there is this sour sweaty smell. But i am not sure, have to continue to observe him. Anysway, i only realised that he sweat alot when he brought him to the pool. It was already about 8 in the evening, by right it should be cooling and not warm. But still he was also sweating and to the point where he is feeling very uncomfortable and needed Daddy to carry. Poor thing! And the worse thing is, the fan doesn't work! Sigh...

Sleep at about 10 plus in the evening till 6am.

P.S: Daddy comment that his back is aching becos of Baby Joshua... Now he knows what i am going through... Hahahah...

Went to Changi Prison Musem. First time with Ah yi, Daddy & Baby Joshua.
Baby Joshua slept throughout the whole visit. Just when we wanted to board the cab to go back to Chalet, he woke up. Crying. The weather is very hot. As now he's growing very fast, there is not much space between his neck. He having heat rashes all around his neck. Poor thing.

Sleep about 10 plus in the evening and woke up at about 8:45.

Today's the actual day for the bbq. Sucks! Left lots of food and nobody really participate in the bbqing. So what's the point for having a chalet?

Anysway, Baby Joshua has been very good today. Slept most of the time and only woke up at 5 in the evening for bath. As usual, he enjoy his bath. After bath, i feed him when Daddy relative came. They all adore Baby Joshua. All want to carry him and play with him. Hahahah... Skipping the bbq part. At about 9 in the evening. He start to cry for his feed. Today is terrible, he ate 3 times! 3 times! First is 4 scoop with 160ml of water then 2 scoops with 80ml of water and then another 2 scoops with 80ml of water. Wow! Baby Joshua can really eat. Hahahah... Before he slept, he drink another 2 ounces of water. Then fell asleep at about 10 plus. Don't know for what reason, he woke up at about 12 am. Crying... As Ah yi still want to bbq, i brought Baby Joshua down. Luckily, the auntie is around to help carry him and rock him to sleep. After awhile, he dozed off.

Sleep till 8:45 the next morning.

P.S: Daddy's granny praised Mummy for looking after Baby Joshua really well. I am so PROUD!

Baby Joshua stayed over my mum place during the weekend. So, today i went over to my mum place abit earlier than usual. There he was wide awake, not sleeping after his feed. When he saw Daddy, he keep looking at him. With wide big eyes. Then when i went in, he did not look over to my side. Just continue looking at Daddy.

After awhile, he started to make those fake cry sound. I try petting him to sleep. But to no avail. So, i feed him again. This time 3 scoops, 120ml of water. During the feed, he was already feeling drowsy. With his eyes closed at the end. After the feed, he was closing his eyes and i thought he was sleeping. But he's not. He open his eyes and started to struggled. Then i carried him up with his head on my left arms (as always) and both legs (curl up) in my right arms. And started rocking him. Not awhile, he was sleeping. Usually, after awhile i will put him down on my left, with my left arm underneath his head. And with his body curl up towards me. And continue to move my left hand (like a rocking motion) till his really deep sleep. Then of course, when i put him down on my left, he will stir abit. Then i will continue to rock him. After awhile, he will stop moving.

I was rocking him for quite awhile, when i intended to stop rocking him. He woke up. With the eyes wide open again. This time i rock even harder, but he did not close his eyes and was going to start crying. Sigh... Stubborn boy!

So, i decide to ignore him and put him on the bed for him to look around (he love looking around, esp the ceiling). After when i came back from dinner, i checked with my mum whether was he sleeping. My mum said no. Sigh... Still not sleeping. Awhile more, he started to cry. Want to be feed again. That was about 6 plus in the evening. So i made another 3 scoops with 120ml of water. After feed and rocking he finally slept. Not more than 2 hrs, he woke up again! This time not crying just looking around. So, as usual i ignore him abit. Then about 9.30 pm, he started to struggle. Wanting to drink milk. So again i made him about 3 sccops with 120ml of water. After the milk, he did not want to sleep at all. Even though, he was yawning already. So Daddy put him in the room with the fan on and the light off. He started to close his eyes. Going to doze off.
We went down to run some errand, after when we came up, he was still not sleeping. So Daddy rock him to sleep. And when Daddy put him down, he started to cry. Wants to be carried. After 3 attempts, Daddy gave up. I carried him to the living room and rock him. Then gt a call from FIL, so we proceed downstairs. While he was in mummy arms, he slept. All the way home. Upon reaching home, he woke up again. This time not crying too. After sometime, he start to struggle. Want to drink again. About 11 plus in the evening. Daddy feed him. But still not sleepy, so put him in the Sarong. Have been sleeping till now (2.20am).

Now mummy jobs is to wait for him to wake up for the night feed.

MIL just told mummy that Baby Joshua snore when he sleep. Hahaha...

Happy 2 months to Baby Joshua!!!!
