Crying in rear facing car seat!

Ryker has been regularly crying out his lungs when sat in car seat too long. Ever since, i converted it to rear facing, he gets cranky when the journey get too long. I can't blame him, i think he just wanted to see my presence. When it was front facing, he was totally happy in it. The moment i turned my head behind, he would smile at me! Things changed as direction changed. =( I have been cracking my head everyday for a solution till i see this:

Munchkin Safe View Mirror

The mirror is meant to be attached under the rear view mirror. I never wanted a view of Lil R from my driving seat as i'm afraid i would get distracted. Today, while driving to work, i figured out that i could stick it at the board beside the window! Hmm, i dunno what's e actual board is called so i just called it board. Haha. Before i went up to my office, i took a while to adjust the angle so that i could view the driver from the car seat. Then i went to the driver seat and check. I could see myself in the mirror so does that mean that Ryker can see me?? Hmm.. I must go experiment it later in the evening.

Really hope it works! Will attached a pic of the mirror done up in the car if my brain permits! =P

Feeling a little proud with the work done! Haha! Felt like i've done a man's job! Lol

There! *cross fingers*

Biting!

He has been biting me when breastfeeding! If i expected the bite, i would give him a stern 'No' then 'Bad Boy!' If i didn't expect the bite, i would let out a scream. =( It's real painful! I cannot breastfeed in public anymore coz i need to watch him like an eagle. Hubby been asking me to give up latching on.. but i felt that i took SO MUCH effort in establishing it, it would be kinda wasted to jus let go due to this.

I learnt that if i tried to stuff my breast to him when he's done with it, he definitely would bite.
I learnt that the best way to prevent him from biting is to latch on only when he showed tremendous signs of hunger! haha

Can someone help me with the biting? I seriously can't imagine if he grow two more front tooth!

No poo

Today marked the fourth day! Who will receive the present from him??

First tooth!

Felt his first little tooth when he accidentally put my finger into his mouth on 4/4/10 morning! My lil boy is growing up so fast.

Coming 5 months!

Well, Ryker is almost 5 months old. Time flies. I was puzzled by why he still haven't sleep through the night. I tried ignoring his fidgeting in his sleep, refusing to pat him, waiting for him to settle down by himself. Obviously, it didn't work. He ended up wide awake in the middle of the night! Things would be much more convenient if we pat him immediately or give him my breast to nurse. Books said it would lead to problems when he's older. Hmmm....

Yes, he has started on rice cereal when he was 4 months 2 weeks. Initially, i tried to see if his tongue-thrust reflex is present. If it was, it would just mean he was not ready for semi-solid. Anyway, the first small spoonful got push out by his tongue. I tried again, and he got it pretty fast. He could swallow! And he was enjoying the rice cereal. Right now, as compared to the first try, he can swallow much better and was always eating with excitement! His legs and hands would be moving so fast that i'm worried he will knock down the bowl! =)

He could flip now but not smoothly. He is standing at a weight of 8.8kg! I have no idea why he is so heavy. Probably he just has heavy bones like his parents. He doesn't look obese kind of fat =p. His neck is pretty much well supported and he could sit up straight with help. I'm pretty glad that he's one smiley kid too! Sometimes, i just can't stand how my MIL claimed all good points to her son. She always go " Ryker is so much like Yida when he was young" " He is exactly like Yida! So smiley!" Blah blah blah Hey, XY chromosomes, the 'X' comes from ME! 'Y' don't contain as much genetic material as 'X'! Bleah!

Babies grow up so fast! Very soon, i can expect my little Ryker to be sitting up. Yida will be away for 3 weeks and i'm sure he would see a big difference on his precious son upon his return. Meanwhile, i'm pretty excited to take on the one-man show!
