3mths old.

Keston turned 3 months old on 28th Oct. We 'celebrated' by bringing him for his 2nd dose of vacination! The little fella screamed abit but promptly stopped when he was fed. He is now 6.2kg and around 64cm. Big boy already! His face is getting rounder and his thighs fatter. He's also going through a growth spurt which meant my SS is falling behind his DD again so gotta supplement a bit of FM. He's also taking ages to finish his milk, so it's time to change teat size. BUT he can't handle the faster flow and the milk keeps dripping all over his neck. sigh!

We've started putting him on his bumper mat, play gym and rocker when he was 2.5mths old. He barely tolerates the bumper mat and starts whining after a short while. Guess the bright colour's over-stimulating him. He starts out fine on the gym and hits the toy ball but gets more and more agitated till he either starts hiccuping or crying. The rocker keeps him entertained for a while longer although unlike reviews from other parents, he does not fall asleep on the rocker. The only thing that puts Keston to sleep is still carrying him. One of his most annoying habbits is when he's tired, he doesn't just fall asleep. He gets agitated and irritated. You can pat him forever and he won't shut his eyes but pick him up and cuddle him and he's deep in sleep within 2 minutes.
We are terrible parents. While experts suggest giving baby a bath and reading before putting him to sleep....we carry him and put on a dvd. Nothing suitable for babies hor. One of Keston's first movie was "Sex and the City". Now Keston loves to watch tv and it calms him down. Even when he's drinking milk, his head automatically turns towards the tv. I blame HW for that cos he doesn't turn Keston's head away from the tv!
Many people comment that Keston's v tanned. Honestly we have nothing to do with it, we don't bring him swimming (not yet) or suntanning. I don't mind though cos he looks more athletic and boyish.
