Sleep comes to those who wait...

Have been so frustrated with Zach lately!! It is getting to be such a struggle to put him to sleep...especially during the day. I would usually start patting him to sleep, then just as i think he is asleep i lay him down in his cot. After about 10 minutes...his eyes start popping open again...and he starts fidgeting wildly...threatening to cry. Then i have to start the whole ritual again!!! Which leaves me absolutely no time to do anything during the day...sigh...

More changes

From tomorrow onwards...Zachary won't be able to see daddy as often during the day anymore. Eugene has found a new job and he has served his 1 month notice at HP AND he is starting work tomorrow! Zachary and i are really going to miss having him around the house and the snatches of moments where he gets to hold Zachary and relieve me for a bit. I guess both of us will just have to adjust to not having him around. Sigh!
Updates on Zach...
- He is starting to find his fingers and fist very appetizing...always stuffing them into his mouth.
- He is starting to drool alot!! Yuck!
- He is slowly realising that his cot might not be too bad a place to sleep in!

I can wear what daddy used to wear...

Eugene's mum kept this suit that both Eugene and his brother wore when they were about 3 months old. My nephew has worn it and now Zachary is wearing it too! I must say that he looks quite good in checks!

Mummy is still trying to figure me out

Yup...if Zachary could talk that would probably be what he would say at the moment. Being a mother is really a FULL time job...and it takes alot out you!Still trying to search and acquire knowledge and skills as quick as possible and to replenish what Zach takes out of me everyday! I never thought that it would be this challenging.
Well, Zach is now 2 months and a bit, and am starting to understand him abit better, but just when i thought i have it all figured out and have established some sort of routine for him, his habits and schedule changes yet again...somehow i never feel on top of things for long! URGH. But at the end of the day, those heart tugging smiles and chuckles are really worth it and i can now understand what everybody means by a mother's love.
We have been bringing Zachary out a lot more often now that he is older. He would either fall asleep in his pram or start fussing to be carried. But when he is awake, he is very curious about everything around him and seem to soak up the sights and sounds with much eagerness. I have attempted to go shopping with him (usually with my mum and sis in tow) and i have never been so focussed trying to shop frantically before he wakes up! However half the time i am trying frantically to look for a parent's room or some quiet spot to feed him before he cries his lungs out! I have been stuck in quite a few parent's rooms by now...and the following places have very comfortable ones...Great World City (the best!), Paragon (not bad but males are not allowed into the nursing rooms although it is a single private room with a door), Taka (but there is only 1 room in the entire building!), Vivocity (not too bad but very bare).
