Annoy annoy

Rob has returned to work after 3 weeks. He comes home and kisses vincent until he's cranky!  It actually helps as I think it tires him out before bed time at night!  

Rob also lets vincent eats his nose.  So disgusting!  

At last, I should mention that vincent is not very fond of being held by Rob.  So I let Vincent go into deep sleep and asks Rob to hold him.  It's a win win as Vincent sleeps longer when he's being held.

Grandpa gets shots

It was suggested by dr Hu and all doctors that anyone who cares for Vincent should take their flu shots and his shot shots.  It's a no brainier as it is often spoken of.

Everyone got their shots but my stubborn father.  Finally, however. 2 days before Vincent is 1 month old, he gathered the courage to get his shots.  Since then,he's inching closer and closer to Vincent.

Baby Moon

Thinking back, the best decision I've made is going on our Baby Moon before Vincent's birth.  It has been so difficult to travel with Vincent as he is constantly hungry.  When he was about 3 weeks old, we took him to JC Penny Portrait to take pictures.  It was so stressful.  Even if we change his diaper and feed him prior to leaving our house, he will always have to have his diaper changed and be fed while we're out.

At JC Penny, he cried for quite a bit.  Even with the appointment, we still had to wait a bit.  I ended up changing at their changing room inside the portrait store.

I wonder when we will be comfortable taking him out again.  I've always been the one that disliked seeing babies on the plane.  I've also disliked parents who do not console their children when they cry in public.  I've never been on the other side.  These parents must have been so stressed traveling with kids.

Making memories

Since Vincent's birth, we are making memories on every occasion.   We get out of our pjs.  We document everything we do. It has never been as important as now that we need to know what we did to celebrate his one month of birth, what we are for thanksgivings, what presents we will exchange for x'mas.  It has been close to ten years since Rob and I have been together.  To be honest, it has been a bit of a blur as to what presents I received for what occasion.

Sleep patterns

Vincent starts the night with one good sleep which unfortunately is when I'm still awake at around 19 pm.  He also has a good sleep before we wake for the day.  

Outside of that, vincent wants to eat hourly from my first meal to the end of my last meal.  He also needs to be held.  At night, he eats every 2-3 hours.  

How does one do anything else?

1 month old

We celebrated Vincent's one month yesterday.  Time flies!  I can't imagine how much harder it will get when he is even older.  This also means that maternity leave is also counting down.  It's going to be tough adjusting when I return to work.

Vincent takes first bath

Vincent takes first and second baths and it's confirmed that he loves water.  We all got a good laugh at it.  On two separate occasions he immediately stopped crying when he's in the tub.
