Our precious bundle is no longer a light load now. He now weight 9 lbs 9 oz compares to 6 lbs 5 oz at birth. His weight gain rate is outstanding. He spits up and hiccups a lot and Dr. said this is absolutely normal for a "big eater" and an extreme rapid growing baby like him.
Mommy has been breastfeeding him and she loves the skin to skin contact every 2-3 hrs. This schedule keeps her very busy tho. Even though she might feel tough and exhausted in some freezing nights, she loves to cuddle and nurse bb anson EVERY single times. No matter how she enjoys it, it's time to try the bottle feed now before mommy goes back to work. Daddy took 3 wks off after Anson was born and now he's back to work. In order to keep the bonding going, he wakes up earlier every morning to change diaper and plays with him and gives lots of kisses and hugs to boy boy once he returns home.
Overall, Anson is a great baby. The luckiest parents couldn't have asked for more. Even Anson doesn't sleep a lot, he doesn't cry a lot either or we should say he doesn't cry for no reason. He can stay nice and calm in his crib for hrs and fall asleep by himself. Of course every baby has his cranky moments, we are lucky enough that it doesn't happen very often for this good bb.
For the past month, mommy followed the Chinese "moon sitting" tradition and didn't go out at all except for the Pediatrician appointments. She is now "officially" free to go out but to her her world her life has been changed. Now Anson is always her first priority, she enjoys staying home with the bb but at the same time, she can't wait to bring him out to explore the world. She recovers fast and well. All the visitors said she's back to her pre-pregnancy size (nah nah she doesn't think so) and she looks full of energy. Mommy and bb are doing wonderfully.

"Yi Ma" has been so happy since Anson was born. He is such a cute nephew that Ken and I can't help but seeing him in person a few times weekly. We will keep taking many photos of you good boy!
Thank you Kam. I miss you and the 2 Js too but probably we won't be heading back to hk soon. Please let us know your next Bay Area visit. I can't wait to see the boys play and fight together kaka.
wow the weight gain Anson pick up this month is great, its tremendous, i am sure he can catch up with 21 lbs of sumsum (7 mon old). I am glad to hear anson personality turns out so mellow and calm, opposite to shawn but similiar personality to sumsum. I am glad to hear you are back to the original weight, i am still 20lbs away before I was used to be! Treasure more time with anson before you go to work! baby can grow so fast, it can become too fast that you would like to video tape them as much as you could!
