matt turned three months today (LA time). the last three months has been such a blur.

in the last month matt has been smiling randomly, crying less, outgrew more clothes, took his first domestic and international flights, went to LA, slept on his crib, started pooping every other day instead of 6 times a day, squealed in delight, can lift his head for a couple of minutes during tummy time, saw a paediatrician for the first time, got his second set of immunisations and started “talking” to us.

as for me i am still sleep deprived, my back is starting to suffer from carrying matt (he’s almost 14 pounds already), watched a movie for the first time and have been eating regularly since getting here in LA.

it’s a bit difficult to measure matt’s stats cos we don’t have regular visits to the doctor, not to mention they don’t use kg and cm here. but i’m pretty sure he’s gained a lot of weight cos he’s really quite heavy now and he is quite chubby already. he looks a bit like the michelin man

i hope he starts giggling soon and will smile a bit more and become less grumpy lol

last night matt slept in his crib and i, well, didn’t get any sleep cos i was waiting for him to wake up so i could resettle him

i suppose he will need to get used to his crib, especially if we are going to teach him how to sleep using sleepy planet’s methods. apparently when he is 4 months old AND 14 pounds, he is ready for sleep learning. i am hoping he will do it on his own without us having to resort to this, but if not i think i am OK with letting him cry for a bit. he has to learn how to sleep somehow, and i need to get a full night’s sleep!

anyway matt is napping on me right now, i think i’ll let him stay this way so i can get some sleep myself. zzzzz

height - ??
weight - 6.18kg (grew by 1.32 grams since week

his weight is only an approximate, since we haven’t really been to a doctor yet. what i did was weighed myself on a scale first, and then weighed myself again while carrying matt. the 6.18kg (or 13.6lbs to be exact) was the difference between the two weigh-ins.

i think he has been feeding well, i haven’t been really giving him much formula since we got here in LA. only during those times when butch and i have gone out or if i’m not particularly feeling full while at home.

we’ve bought a crib for him… he only slept 1.5 hours in it last night, i was too tired to keep trying to settle him. hopefully tonight will be better. right now it’s been about 15 minutes since i last put him in it.. fingers crossed he will get a proper nap!

it’s so true that babies grow up so quickly that buying too many clothes in a specific size is a waste of money. matt’s only turning 3 months and some of his clothes don’t fit anymore! i’ve been dressing him up in his new “going out” clothes just to get at least one wear out of them, before matt outgrows them.

here’s matt looking like he’s going to go jogging lol

it’s so funny cos the jogging pants actually have POCKETS! what would a 2 month old need pockets for??

in other news i’m getting some normalcy back into my life… i’ve ironed my hair a few times, got a pedicure and got my eyebrows threaded. now if only i can go back to my pre-pregnancy body, then that would be great hehe
