(This is a seriously back back back dated post. I wrote this up and simply forgot to post!)
My return to work also means that Zhixin is now 2 months old. Although born small and underweight, he is now on the charts for both weight and height.
Growth, Food Intake and General Well Being
- Zhixin is still fed on demand at home.
- At Aunty Babysitter’s house, he gets 5 bottles of 2.5 oz expressed milk everyday.
- He is still sleeping alot especially at home where it’s often quiet and dark.
- He is technically sleeping through the night already, often going for more than 5 hours without waking.
- His night time routine is rather unique. I nurse him to milk-drunk. Then Hubs rock him to sleep, while watching tv or playing games. Hubs consider this “quality” time.
Physical Development and Communications
- Zhixin can turn his head from side to side and follow our movements with his eyes.
- Often, he cries for me if he hears my voice.
- Zhixin is very patient, and seems to understand when I ask him to wait a bit.
- He is already displaying his boyish streak in that he hates to be touched on his head. He will kick hard or even cry out if you do touch his head.
- He is also much more interested in his father’s boisterous play than my soothing lullabies.
Boys will be boys.
