Up and Flip!

Today, Little Tyler showed Mummy how he can raise his head without grabbing onto anything... Similar to the way we doing crunches, he placed his hands above his head and pushed them towards the bed... And that's how he raised his head by about 2inches... It's just so incredible... It seems like he can't wait to get up without us assisting him~

At around 5.15pm, just before his evening wind down routine, I put Tyler tummy down at his gym... He flip onto his back instantly and next thing I know, he was back on his tummy!! I'm amazed! Too bad I didn't have a camera on hand to video this Major Milestone!! I've been anticipating for this moment~

I'd have to be extra careful from now on... =D

Tyler is 4 Months Old

My precious little one is 4 month old today!

Tyler "reading" Adventures of Peter Rabbit

He's always trying to pull himself up with anything he can get his hands one... Tiki and me were saying, he'll probably get 6-pack abs very soon with all the "sit-ups" he's doing all day long! He's learning to sit even before he can turn! haha...

Still very very obsessed with sucking his fingers... Every opportunity he gets, you'll see his fingers in his mouth! He starts putting toys into his mouth too! Gets really frustrated when he cannot suck well on the toys! haha...

Yum Yum!!

I'm not sure why, but Tyler is getting less chatty nowadays... I'm guessing because most of the time, his fingers are in his mouth or he's figuring how to put them in... Producing more saliva and starts to drool a little... Or perhaps it's due to his saliva... *Shrug*

Tyler's getting really playful!! He laughs out loud when we play peek a boo and other games with him... It's so funny and I'll laugh along with him... He loves to see me smile (vice versa), he shows his widest gummy smile when I do... hehehe... It makes everything all worthwhile!! hehe~

He is still not able to take long naps... Usually starts crying after 30 to 45mins... It's not easy to calm him down... I can see that he still wants to sleep... He'll only be able to fall asleep in my arms... But when I try to put him back in his cot, he'll yell and cry again... Sigh... I wonder when he'll start learning to nap on his own... Cos I feel it's also part of the reason he doesn't feed that well...

BUT! He is improving a little on his feeds... about 4 to 6oz each time for 5 times a day... I'm happy about it! Hopefully he'll keep this up!! I'm gonna trial on Nutroplex Multivits with Lysine this couple of days... But he hates it! Spits everything out when I give it to him... His tastebuds are sensitive, spits out any "foreign" flavours everytime! hehehe... Dr T is a little concern about the amount of milk he's taking, which makes me worry somewhat... Then again, as long as I get wet nappies, nice poo poo and a Happy Baby, I'm satisfied!! =) I don't want to stress myself or Tyler again... It'll drive me nuts if I get too anxious...

Wonderful thing is, he falls asleep by 7pm... So we get some time to ourselves... I'll wake him up around 10.30pm for another feed then he'll snooze till about 6 to 7am in the morning...

Tyler has his 2nd dose of DTP1/PV1/Hib today... Did a good job once again!! Screamed for 5secs this time and stopped! So proud of him~ =)

He took his Rotavirus vaccine last week when we went to see Dr T regarding his milk intake... This time we didn't feed him milk beforehand, I guess he was thirsty, so he took in the vaccine easily...

Tyler's growth rate of both height and weight lies in the 50 percentile... His head circumference tho is in the 10 percentile... I was a little worried, but he's developing well... Perhaps he just has smaller head...

Tyler's Weight: 7.2kg
Tyler's Height: 64cm

Chilly Bangkok

This couple of days, weather in Bangkok is absolutely Wonderful!!
Temperature around 18 to 20ºC... I love this weather.... So cooling!!!

We had to let Tyler wear a beanie before heading out

Tyler's been doing alot of sit-ups and crunches recently! Looks like he can't wait to get up by himself...
He tries to grab my fingers and pull himself up all the time!


On Friday morning, he was lying next to me after his morning feed, chatting with me and Daddy... All of a sudden he pulled himself halfway up! Both me and Tiki were shocked!! haha... Tyler actually grabbed our comforter with both his hands and tried to pull himself up! Then when he couldn't get up, he started to whine and get frustrated... hahaha... 


Brought him to take his Visa Picture in the afternoon... He didn't need much support on his neck this time as compared to the time when he took his passport photo when he was barely a month old. Anyway, he kept looking down while I was holding his back until I told the lady to show him the "twinkle twinkle little stars"... We got it after a single shot!! hehe~

I can't believe that he's going to be 4 months old in 2 days' time... Time flies! I'm imagining his 1st Birthday already... hehe~

Cry it out!

This afternoon around 4pm, during nap time, I let him cry for about 15mins after he awoken... He hasn't been able to nap well recently, so I was trying out the Cry-it-out method to let him learn to fall back to sleep... It worked well once... So I tried again...

Sigh...

It was a disaster!!!

He cried very badly, so I picked him up and soothe him down... It took him awhile to calm down... he was doing the crying hics... But anyway, he calmed down eventually...

At 5.15pm, I gave him some milk...

[He's having a hard time taking milk recently too! (I had to rush to Siam Paragon yesterday just to get him new bottles and teats to try~) Walking, swinging, singing, rocking, etc are all the things I have to do each and every feed just to make him suck and swallow...]

He was doing a good job, almost finishing all 4oz of milk when suddenly he just choked and possetted EVERYTHING OUT!!! EVERY SINGLE DROP... I think it's due too all that crying causing all the wind in his little tummy to push all that precious milk out...

Consolation was he still smiled at me... it didn't seem to cause him any discomfort. In fact, I think he felt better after throwing up...

I hate myself for having to do all these things to him... I know it's part and parcel of parenthood and I have to train or trial and error many stuffs! But I get heartpain each time I see him suffer or fail...

Sorry Baby Tyler...
Mummy love you alot!!
