The past couple of months have been a bit hectic and overwhelming at times so I took a break from blogging. My camera, which I usually use at least ten times a day barely made it out of the camera bag even for weeks at times! Well, things seem to be calmer now, so I'll steal some moments here and there, whenever I can to take pictures, bake, sew, crochet, read and update the blog. Hehehe, wishful thinking never killed anyone!
In the midst of it all, our little boy is growing beautifully. I missed his three month update and I almost missed month four! He is currently closer to five months now! Goodness me, I cannot believe how fast he is growing!
Growth: He weighs 8.5kg and is 68cm tall which means he has grown by 4.3kg and 18cm since birth. It amazes me that their little bodies not only survive, but thrive on just milk! We will introduce solid food in two months or so if he shows interest and readiness, in the mean time he is growing so well on mama's milk.
Appearance: He has chubby legs with squishable baby rolls just like his sister had. His eyes are still blue and not showing any signs of getting darker, although I read somewhere that they can stay blue for up to six months to a year. His hair has curled up quite a bit in the last two months and I suspect the curls are still going to get tighter.
Development: E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G goes straight to the mouth! Big sister is so fascinated by this and is always more than keen to offer her sticky fingers, until she is thanked with a nasty gummy bite!
Loving: He still gets so excited by his big sis. He laughs at her (and with her sometimes!). He absolutely enjoys her singing and dancing, it cracks him up! Sibling love is so beautiful to watch.
Disliking: The dummy (pacifier). He gets so angry when I try offering him one. We have actually stopped trying now. No more dummy for Owen.
Mama is loving: I am just amazed by the miracle of life. Every time I look at this precious little boy I am in awe of the goodness of God.
