The Tutiger's Blog: One Month Old

Well, Boy you are one month old today but on the lunar calender it is tomorrow that is the Chinese full month (I dunno why they call it full-moon?????)

I have taken care of you till 5am this morning. I guessed your mummy was tire-out by your whining/struggling throughout the night. She waited so anxiously for midnight (she kept calling me to see if I can leave early), as soon as I returned home from work, she ordered me to clean up. After my meal she passed you to me for care and she jumped straight into bed. I really felt guilty that I have made the two of you suffered......

Things that I have observed about you
You like to take a lot more milk at midnight (it is possible, because in our line of work, your mum and I always took our dinner at midnight, even during pregnancy) And also you have a habit that you will want at least 1/2 oz Enfa (as a finishing bottle, is that a dessert for you?) before you retire to sleep :P

You would start by letting out more than regular 'small and short cries/moans' when you are about to want your milk...... By the time you really cry out and if the milk took too long, you would throw tantrum and would not wanna drink, sometimes you even use your hands to push the bottle away or swing your head away from it.

When you sleep you tend to make small noises as well as many facial expressions too (My mum told me that you are playing with the flower kids 'fa cai' 花子 where you would cry when you lose and smile when you win.

You like your "Guiness Stout" bath (you seem soothed by it) but you really dislike plain water bath and the "herbal bath for jaundice" given by your Aunt May

You disliked drinking plain water and taking Chinese Medicine (like Bo Ying Pills)

You are normally calm when we put you down as to preparing to change your diapers. But you would always throw a fuss when we start to change your shirt.

You are always able to break free of your bind, unless grandma uses the elastic band on you.

Your mum always freaks out when she hears you cry. She seemed to be pressured and lost whenever it happened. (Probably the reason why she was hospitalised)

You like to sleep in the living room more than in our room. You would prefer a big oversized pillow over your own cot. You would also not mind the noises we make when you are sleeping in the living room but are rather fussy of even soft whispers in the room, unless you are really deep asleep.

You hated heat and would sweat very easily.

Grandma have started the tummy oil rubbing and seems like it is wearing off some of the colic effect you are having.
