National Library has a New Member!

Hubs took leave today and we zipped off to Whitesands for lunch.

But not before dressing him up.

He can actually fit into the Baby Gap top that Sis bought for him and the label says 3-6 months. Well, I would like to think he's a tall baby. :D

Here he is, all grumpy cos he's missed his nap. Check out his tired eyes.















Now that we are parents, we have to make sure the babe is bathed, fed and happy before we can tend to ourselves... so I'll usually prep him, watch over him as Hubs prepare, and when he's done, hand Jed over to him before I get to bathe and prepare. Oh, and the diaper bag too!

Phew!

A lot of coordination there, mind you.
...

Sis was having a day-off from her flights and she met us at Whitesands. We had lunch at Hei Sushi (why it changed from Sakae to Hei remains a mystery to this day).

And then it was off to the library to apply a membership for Jed (thanks Dawn for reminding me!) Hubs was actually busy snapping pictures of us registering... so pai seh..... the lady at the counter was so amused! Well, that's Hubs, wanting to capture his son's every moment.

(We have photos of him sneezing, coughing, frowning, bathing, pooing, etc etc. You name it, Hub probably has a picture of it in his archives. ;D)

Anyway, here are three books I borrowed for him that might be suitable for a 2 month old.















I read that a baby begins to see in colour only after 3 months. Before that, they love black and white or anything with great contrast. I managed to find these treasures for him, shapes in high contrast to stimulate him visually. Can't wait to go through the books with him tomorrow.

I tried out the nursing room again since he was fussing for milk. I place the stroller in such a way that anyone who comes will know that 'hey, there's someone in here!' before barging in. In the meantime, Hubs and Sis went to NTUC to get supplies.

It's really great to have Sis around cos she's such a great help (Thanks Tiam yiyi!). It's reassuring to have her with me everytime I'm out with Jed cos she's so level headed. I tend to get flustered easily so I need someone cool to calm me down and take control of things. Heh heh...

(Darn. A beetle just flew in and scared the living lights out of me!)

Hmm... I will post pictures of Jed and his beloved yiyi next time when I download the photos from the camera.
...

Anyway, after spending over 3 hours at Whitesands, we (sans Sis) went to Hui Jun's place at the Whitewater Condo. It was just as I've imagined... calm and serene. We really liked the environment there.

(Thanks HJ for having us! We had a great time! And you can expect us to pop over more often! Wuahahaha!)
...

Apparently, a whole day of activities proved too much for Jed's little soul. He was fussing quite a bit after we got home and had to be carried. And he needed a little comfort nursing before he could fall asleep. Poor thing. Kena overstimulated. ;P
...

As you can see, I've brought forward his bed time to 7:30pm. It used to be 9:30 or 10pm cos I was afraid that if I put him to bed too early, he'll wake up real early too! But yesterday I tried to put him to bed earlier and well, he still woke at 8am! Yay!!! That means I'll have a bit more time in the evenings to have a proper dinner, chat with Hubs or just hanging out at the desk.

Relaaaaaaak......
