Nursing strike

Zachary has taken it upon himself to make breastfeeding EXTRA trying for the both of us! These few days have been very trying...when it comes to breastfeeding Zachary. He sucks eagerly for about 10 minutes then pulls away from the breast, cries and refuses to feed again. No matter how much i coax him to feed again...he refuses, even when i try using the bottle. WHY?? Just when i thought that he is getting gradually easier to handle, this comes along...sigh. Going to see the pediatrician tommorrow for some help...sigh. Maybe i should go on a mothering strike!

3 months and counting

I have actually meant to jot down some thoughts of Zachary turning 3 months...but haven't had the energy or spare time....so now Zachary is 3 and a half months...i thought i better get those thoughts down before i have new thoughts to share.
I still remember struggling with him during the first month and everybody told me that don't worry things will get a lot better in a few months time...more specifically in 3 months. So i was so looking forward to that magical 3 months where Zachary will suddenly turn into a big boy and everything will click! It has kind of happened but not in a sudden kind of way, more like very gradually...there are still moments with him when he forgets that he is actually a 3 month old and behaves like a 1 month old!! But the biggest milestone is probably that he is able to sleep for alot longer during the night! Thank God for that...
But one thing is for sure...i am growing deeper in love with him...each day...

Me and my new shoes...

Zachary's aunt from the States bought him new big boy shoes! I think he was more interested in his fingers though!

I found my fingers!

I have found my new favourite past time...fiddling with my fingers! I like to stuff them into my mouth...but unfortunately they don't taste too good!

Sleep only comes to those who are patient...

Indeed...Zachary is really testing my patience nowadays, especially when it comes to nap time during the day. He is so fitful and fights his sleepy droopy eyelids so hard that i feel sorry for him sometimes. I could be there patting him a good 20 minutes, until he closes his eyes...and just as i sneak away...he lets out a cry again! And there i am...back to patting him to sleep yet again! SIGH. Patience...patience...at least he is a lot kinder to us at night...and sleeps far better.

yi yi and me

Yi yi fascinates me...whenever i see her and all her jiggling and dangly earrings, it tickles me!

A family potrait

We realised that we haven't had a nice family picture taken...so we took the opportunity to take a picture while we were all dressed up for Eleanor and Ben's wedding. My sis says it looks like a mug shot!

3 generations...

Hanging out with grandma and mummy at Starbucks. I had my babycino already so i am quite satisfied!
