Justyn's sleeping updates

These 2 days have been a miracle for us as Justyn is sleeping well through the night. He stirs a little and I only need to feed him water and that alone can last him till morning. His last milk feed ranges between 10 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. And he will wake up about 6 a.m for his first milk feed. Praise the Lord!

I can see a little light at the end of a very dark tunnel ... I am believing that things will only get better and better!

Week of Prayer

This whole week was a "week of prayer" for me too. While the people are praying at the various locations in the mornings, I will be praying at home. Reason? For Justyn to sleep peacefully through the night!

Justyn was very cranky throughout the week. He will sleep from 1030 p.m. and will wake up at 1-2 a.m. for a feed. After which, he will try to sleep but to no avail. He will be tossing and turning on his mattress and will be crying as he is tired but unable to sleep. This process can go on from 2 to 4 a.m. and then it will start again at 5-6 plus. In his tossing and turning stupor, his eyes are actually closed but his hands are waving to and fro ... it is as if he is fighting in his dreams! I wish he can just stop moving and SLEEP!!!

Well, we will see how this goes. Look out for further updates in my blog. May the updates be positive and encouraging ones!

Wheels on the Bus

Justyn is now kept entertained in his car seat by watching the "Wheels on the bus" series. His favourites will be "The Grand Duke of York" and "Itsy Winsy Spider". Personally, I enjoy humming to the tunes of these songs too! I am still a child at heart.

I managed to capture some shots of Justyn while he is watching the cartoons. He can be focus when he wants to. By the way, one of his habits is now putting his finger in his mouth and bite, as you can see from the pix below.

Screaming Phase???

I have heard of the terrible twos phase. But is there also a terrible one turning two phase? Justyn is now into the screaming phase. He screams when he is excited, screams when he is upset, screams when he is hungry ...

I sometimes wonder maybe this is his current means of communication with us to get our attention? Anyway, I am waiting for that day when he can utter his first words "Mama" and "Papa". And I think for that, the current screaming phase is all worth it! (The Lord help us!)

Justyn's walking updates

Justyn has now progressed from being able to walk a few steps to walking many steps unassisted. He is now learning how to stand up by himself from a siting position. His favourite hobby is now bending down to pick up a ball, throw the ball, walk towards the ball and pick it up and starts throwing it again. He really has boundless energy. This new found hobby is making his daddy and mummy very tired as we have to follow behind him and walk around the house with him!

Justyn's First Haircut

We finally brought Justyn to cut his hair! This is his first haircut eversince he was born. It costs us $20! Nowadays, children's stuff can be comparable to adult's stuff in terms of pricing. Anyway, back to Justyn's cut. Being unaware of what is happening to him, he happily allowed the hairdresser to snip his hair INITIALLY. As you watch the video below, you will see how his facial expression changed from one happy boy to a crying baby!!!

Justyn's First Few Steps

Justyn is now learning how to walk. He can now walk about 4-6 steps unassisted. I believe he should be able to walk very very soon! Yeah!
