Bootylicious Eli ;p

Eli likes to do this recenly...

 Here he goes..

Yay..he did it...

Not til after a few falls...

But he ain't a quitter..

See what I meant? ;p

He does get frustrated in between falls...

 But once he gets the hang of it...

...its easy  peasy to do ;p

Love bite

No, its not what you're thinking...rather am talking about special 'love bites' by my cutie pie Eli ;p

As of today, our precious baby Eli has 4 incisors (2 at the bottom and another 2 at the top). Looking at the "When to expect babies' teeth" guide I posted much earlier, I'm expecting at least another 4 more incisors before he turns 1 in March. I guess he must be trying to satisfy his biting instint because of late Eli has been sinking his baby teeth on me!! Just yesterday alone I received two love bites from Eli! ;p

The second love bite I received yesterday courtesy of baby Eli ;p

When it comes to brushing or cleaning his teeth/ mouth..forget the finger brush or a towel..this will do less damage to my fingers, thanks to Pigeon!! ;p

Our little treasure ;p

The beginning of another wonderful piece of work by FM..it's all about the arrival of Baby Eli...The end

Briliant isn't it?!! :)

Oh btw, FM sent me this card via pos the other day...cute eh :)

Balding Eli

Like Ethan, baby Eli started shedding his baby hair a few weeks ago...previously Ethan's new hair was very curly so I wonder how Eli's new hair will turn out to be :) MIL and myself wouldn't mind at all if he has curly hair like Ethan too ;p

Anyway, Eli's hair loss is pretty bad as I can see hair on his baby cot, his clothes, in his bath tub after bath. I sometimes see hair near his mouth too...so from a 'well-haired' baby...

....Baby Eli is now balding ;p Thank goodness my hair is not shedding...well at least not as bad as baby Eli's ...

Eli turns 3 months old!

This is a delayed post as baby Eli turned 3 months old 5 days ago i.e. 10th June ;p He still has reflux which can be heartbreaking and annoying at times. But at least baby Eli is growing well and happy. Like Ethan, he wakes up with a smile on his face too and its a joy seeing his smiling face during the crazy morning rush :) I've updated his developments here.

Weight : 5.3 kg

Length: 60cm

"Conversations" with Baby Eli

Baby Eli will be 3 months old in 8 days time.

His reflux has toned down although he still throws up once in a while. But it is much better than previously. In terms of milk intake, he now takes 120ml every 2 hours though there are times (rarely..) it may stretch til 3 hours especially when he takes a long nap. He is mostly on Similac formula milk...I only breastfeed him during his early morning feeds and occasionally during the day when am not at work.. I know am not a perfect mum ;p

Anyway, the two videos below are recordings of him "cooing" with his grandma :)

You can hear some background noise coming from his big bro Ethan who was busy watching his Elmo's World dvds ;p

Say "cheese"!!

Besides "talking", Eli also loves to smile..here are some smiling pictures of him :)

This is not his best smiling shot but I just want to show you his dimples! ;p

Eli's Fullmoon

I know I've been away for too long...been busy and been lazy due to tiredness lately...will make another entry on that later on ;p

Anyway, a month has gone by...I'm back at work and baby Eli is now 2 months old. How time flies....so before I forget I would like to make a short entry on Eli's Fullmoon. It was an intimate Fullmoon Party with a few relatives and close friends at my parents' home on 11th April afternoon. Eli was asleep most of the time during the party while Ethan was busy roaming and socializing ;p

Oh btw, in case you're wondering, we ordered the cake from Pink Roses Cake while the cuppies were made by Sharon S.

Here's another blog entry on Eli's Fullmoon by Aunt Agnes :)

Not Needs juz Wants

I'm sure every mom to be, be it the 1st time mom to be or 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th mom to be, we always have our needs and wants when it comes to shopping for our new bundle of joy. I for one not excluded and even though we have most of the things we need since our precious Ethan was born almost 3 years ago.

We have almost everything except 3 items that I intend to buy next week or after Baby Eli is born i.e. Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump, Baby Car Seat (I'm eyeing a particular brand in Kids Avenue, Times Square) and Bengkung Moden.

But somehow there are still other baby stuff that I wish for or long to own but it is not a necessity;p Although a part of me would love to own them but instinct tells me not to buy simply because it may not be practical or worth buying as we plan only to have 2 children. Oh well, still no harm in sharing them with you right. Who knows you may find some of them useful especially if you intend to have more children and/or just started your family planning :) And who knows I might just decide to get some of them after all and sell them as pre-loved items later on ;p

1. Fisher Price Baby to Toddler Portable Rocking Chair

This can also be found in Little Me, CT Department Store, Toys R Us - this seems practical as can be used for Eli and Ethan. But Ethan may dominates the chair most of the time instead ;p
2. Baby carrier
I have baby ring sling and pouches but these seems tempting too ;p

Either Patapum Baby Carrier (in dark chocolate)

How it will looks like

Chocolate color

OR

Littlepods Soft Structured Carrier


3. Infant Stimulation Baby Crib Set

This set I sooo want to buy but I can't find online seller that ship to international address...sigh...How nice if any of the Malaysian online shops could sell more RBW brain stimulation toys...so far I can only find very very limited choices...sigh...
4. Kiddopotamus: Snuzzler Head and Body Support


5. The First Year: Close & Secure Sleeper

Can also be found in Little Me - doesn't seem to last long I supposed. The most will only be used for a few months hehe...
6. Bumbo Bay Seat in Lime with Tray


7. Thermos Combo Pack - either one of this sets

OR

These two sets are value for money coz the original price was RM199 but now they are only RM99 a set - very tempting indeed...I'll probably get a set...

Elijah

Yes, we have a name for our second baby. We have actually chosen a name for our second baby boy many moons ago but we've only decided to announce it in my blog today :)

So yes, Elijah (meaning => the Lord is my God) will be his name and "Eli" (pronounced as "Eee-lai") will be his nick :) And this is how Eli looks like :)

Eli weighing 2.2kg at 32 weeks. His estimated weight during fullterm is 4kg!! ;p

I think he got my high forehead and thick lips don't you think hehehe...his seems to have high bridge nose from this 3D scan...oh well, what really matter most to us is that we'll have a smooth labour and Eli will be born healthy and at the perfect time :)
