Today Is Sebastian's First Day at The Babysitter's

He slept at about 9:30, and started crying at 12:30am. I wanted to feed him 5 oz, hoping that he could sleep for 6 hours or so, but he only took 3 oz. It worked out better this way. He woke up again at 4:15 am, and this time he took 5 oz! I had to wake him up at 7:15 am to change diaper, dress him up and put olive oil on his face. On the way to the babysitter Co Ngoc, he was sleeping through the car ride. No crying or whatsoever. It was a pretty smooth morning.

When I dropped him off at 8 am, Co Ngoc asked me what time was he going to drink milk. How the heck do I know? I said "whenever he cries." Well, I don't think that was what she was looking for, so I added "probably 9 am. Last time He had milk was at about 4 am."

I hope Sebastian behaves at Co Ngoc's place, and gives her a good impression. :D

Time to upload some pix and videos taken from the past two days:





"My left eye is swollen. I think the tear duct is blocked"








"It's gotten worse."









"And worse..."








"My dada is multitasking!"









"What's that hanging?"








"I wanna watch TV, too"








"Exercise again?"








"Yes, I can push my legs to stand for a split second"








I Was about to post some videos, but it's taking a long time. I'll post those later.


Look, I found my left hand!




Play Play Play!!!




More exercise!

Sebby's First Christmas

Over the holidays, Tien and I have noticed that Sebastian has had a few changes.

Some good changes:
1. He has been observing his hands (more like his gloves). Perhaps he has realized he's got two hands which he can swipe his bottle away with. He's been opening and closing his hands lately.
2. He likes to look at himself in the mirror. He get excited for awhile before he gets bored!
3. Hey, he's on Huggies #2 now! More on diapers later.

Some bad changes:
1. In the past, nothing could wake him up. Now, he has become a very light sleeper. A typical sneeze would wake him up although he could fall asleep with some noise from TV.
2. His tear duct seems to be blocked. It's on the left this time. It seems to be worse in the afternoon which he has a teary eye all the time. I hope the extra moisture won't get him an eye infection.
3. His skin has gotten a little worse. The face is dry. There are ome rough and dried spots on his legs too.
4. In the beginning, he pooped N times a day. Not long ago, it has reduced to about once a day, but recently, he might just have it about once every two days. Right now, it's been 53 hours and counting.
5. There are some lumps, which appear to be cysts, in the bottom of the back of the neck.

Anyhow, I called the doc today and made an appointment for tomorrow. Hopefully the questions will be answered.


Below are some pix & videos over the holidays (this week)

"Who's this in the mirror?"

















































What can you do to entertain Sebastian when you are busy eating with both hands?










Tear duck is blocked. :(























"That's all, folks."
