3.5 months old

The older they get, the tougher it is to control them.

Sheldon attempt to hold the bottles while feeding, boy this isnt a so good thing. This boy of mine is getting really mischievous, he will push away the bottles and burst into laughter....... Sometimes he will try to suckle his fingers while drinking his milk, he is really greedy huh!!!

I really wonder who teach them all this below behaviour so that they can refuse milk.
-Push away the bottles
-Bite the teat
-Use the tongue and play around with the teat
-Spit out the milk
-Scream(not cry) to protest
-Struggle ferociously

His motor skills are developing fine. He is able to roll over, hold his head 90 degree for quite a while. I think before we all can realise he is probably able to get around in the house REAL soon.

NAM treatment - Taping

Sheldon was 1 week old during his first appointment with Dr Catherine Lee (Orthodontics for his NAM treatment). We started off with simple taping and were to see Dr C.Lee in a week time.

2nd appointment - This time round, the tape was changed to a higher pulling power tape and we were instructed to tape tightly. Sheldon's nose manage to be push back up to normal when taping was correctly done.

3rd appointment – We did not managed to tape it tightly, were instructed to tape it correctly for another week. (1 week wasted.....)

4th appointment – Pass the taping, mould taken to do the plate.

We spend almost a month on taping before Sheldon proceed with his plate. I shall share more about the plate in my next entry.

Serum - Artistry Serum (Can be oily at times) & Face Shop Marine series Serum (So far so good)
Moisturisers - Face Shop Marine series moisturisers & Artistry Anti Aging Night Cream Repair
Sun Block - Face shop water base sunscreen (not oily at all)

Foundation - Artistry (Very natural but too light for function) & Faceshop
Powder - Artistry & Pupa
Blusher - Pupa & Faceshop

I manage to purchase the limited edition of Fancl Mild cleansing oil.

First toy

Since Sheldon started kicking, I thought it was really good to get him this toy. The toy will sound off different music and sound upon his kick.

My Mom find that $69.90 for a simple toy like this is not worth it. Im willing to spend so long Sheldon enjoy playing with it, .

First Mother Day

Bascially there is nothing much we did this year as Baby S is still too young to dine outside. In the end the whole family came over and we had a simple dinner. We got Mom a Long Champ Pilage.

Baby S is too young to get me anything or even say Happy Mother's Day, but its okay. Having him in my life is already the greatest gift. 当妈妈有一重莫名的感动, this feeling has been with me since the birth of Sheldon.

To my surprise, my youngest sis got a box of Ferraro Rocher chocolate and wrap it up personally. She told me my son is too young to buy me anything so she buy on behalf of my son. So sweet of her.

Looking forward to the day when Sheldon know how to bring home a self drawn Mother's Day card from school.

My last day at home with Sheldon

Today marks the last day of my maternity leave. Im returning to work tml and will consume the rest of the ML during Sheldon's surgery.

1st month was Confinement Period, with Mom's presence a lot things get done easily.

2nd & 3rd month, Mom head back to work and Im all alone with Sheldon. The initial few weeks, I literally went on with an empty stomach for the whole day as I not confidence to bring Sheldon out all by myself. When Sheldon much settle down, then I head down with him to get my lunch but at times when he decided to nap and nap, I will have to give up my lunch.

Rushing in the morning twice a week for his orthodontics appointment was a BIG challenge esp when Sheldon demand for his milk when you are about to step out of the house. Most of the time we turn up late for the appointment.

Im so sleep deprived that there was once I slept while sitting in the toilet bowl, if Sheldon had not cried I would probably be continuing sleeping. I never had dark circles in my life despite those crazy late nights I used to have during my younger days. Im stuck with 2 panda eyes, Im not sure whether it will go away esp when now I have to return to work.

I spend so much time on Sheldon that, I totally forgot about myself. Most of the time, I look like a lunatics with messy hair. I never have any time for skin until they turn so DRY and Painful now. Due to all the washing, my hands feel like a 80 yr old grandma hands.

I didn't know a mother can go so far for her child. The "old" me was totally gone!!! The one who will die w/o splashing all the toner and cream on the face, cant go out with make up and heels. Most of the time Im in 3/4 cotton pants and plain t-shirt. If there is a need to go out, yes its slippers. 100% like an AUNTY!!!!

Im quite glad Im heading back to work as my life would be more scheduled. With my mom quitting her job to take care of Sheldon, my life will be so much easier and definitely less stressful. Than again Im will be missing Sheldon badly!!!!

Im so going for run every evening to lose that 5 kgm of fats!!!
