of letters and two months...

Dear Sue Yi,
Today you are officially two months old.
Mommy is out in the living room sorting out some photos to bring to the kedai photo to be printed. Looking back at the photos, it’s pretty amazing to note how much you have grown.
Your face is much rounder now, the patch of skin on your head have healed completely and hair have started to grow. Your forehead has more hair now (much to the relief of poh poh).
Let’s see what else:
You are starting to practice your facial expression and needless to say, you have the sweetest smile that will send the unsuspecting straight to the dentist’s chair. And talking about your smile, you will sometimes smile at the oddest times, sometimes halfway through drinking your milk you will stop and smile. I’ll shake my head coz I dunno to be happy or tell you to stop and continue drinking.
You can follow the movements of objects in front of you with your eyes and turn your head to follow through but your attention span is still pretty short as you will lose focus if the object moves out of your field of vision.
You can recognize voices, especially especially of mommy’s. Even when sometimes when you are about to fall asleep, if you were to hear mommy outside, your eyes will open up and your expression will be as if you are trying to listen to what mommy is saying.
You are taking 3 1/2oz of milk now but still have that bad habit of stopping right before it finishes and leaving just a little bit in the end.
You truly enjoys your bathtime. Mommy says that every time she tells you that it’s pom pom time, you will smile and get all excited.
You still have issues with gas (colic) and your worst times are between 6.30 to 9pm every night. You will cry and cry and won’t be comforted. You will ‘kek’ or push so much that your face will turn red. By now, it’s a miracle that our neighbours still have not called the jabatan Kebajikan and report us for abuse.
You like to kick into the air when you get excited. I call it cycling and you can do that for up to an hour. Sometimes it just seems that you are ‘kan cheong’ about something and will be like kicking and breathing heavily. Maybe you are in a rush to go somewhere, but for the time being (or at least until you can earn your own income) I will be dictating where you will go ;)

We will be taking you to the govt clinic for the 2nd month shots next Monday. We went last Monday as it was a replacement holiday but the nurses there told us that it’s still too early and they can’t give you your shots. I am a bit concern on how we will handle the fever that normally associates with the shots. Let’s hope and pray that it will be a mild and fast one for you.

These two months have been nothing less than an emotional roller coaster and it has been a good ride. I’ll be looking forward to continue on this ride with you and experience every dips and peaks with you.

Come over for a hug will ya?

Love
