Almost 4 months

....and my babe is blowing bubbles, yakking and sucking his own thumb or fist - whichever is more accessible hahahahaha.....And it's true what they say about when a baby starts blowing bubbles, the mother's hair starts falling off.....My drain cover looks like a Lilliputan head of hair on hair washing days....Aiyo, scary! I'm going bald I feel like.

Yikes, it's almost 4 months now - am still breastfeeding exclusively and I hope to continue for as long as possible. The baby does new things everyday. Tonight, I tried to let him stand and he did manage to carry his own weight for a couple of seconds. I have also started lifting him up by his armpits cos his neck is now much more steady. He lovessss the tv and doesn't like to be carried in a prone position anymore - that's for babies he seems to wail each time someone mistakenly does that.

He doesn't seem to smile so readily for me but he yaks away and smiles at his dad and grandma PJ lots. I really hope my parents also build a close loving relationship with him even though they are so far away and don't spend much time with him at all.....that's one of my biggest worries!

We're going home to Penang soon - in the car, in the car seat. Had a tough time deciding whether to fly or to drive but in the end, cost and the doctor's advice won out - well, she said that driving would be a safer medical option in terms of exposure to foreign virus and etc....the plane is an enclosed, recycled air environment with lots of people all stuck together......Ju Han hopes he can drive safely all the way though.

Am also glad to see and hear the daddy learning how to enjoy his baby more and more. Warms my heart!
