Ian @ 2 months

My friend Michael Ang always reminds me, "take more photos of your kid, they grow very fast". Well, he is definitely right.

Ian is now 10 weeks old. He has kind of 'transformed'.

A family-man doing what he does best

When he just came back from the hospital, he was so tiny and fragile. Due to that, I did not dare to carry him until he was 1 week. At 2 weeks, I bottle-fed him for the first time. From then on, he has learned to lift his head and neck on his own, smile and laugh, play with his tongue, sucks his fingers & hands and lifts his legs. But the most surprising of all is that at 8 weeks, he tried to roll-over. He managed to turn his body, and right leg to the left, but he couldn't roll over yet, as his left hand got stucked in the way. He also loves to be put on a sitting and standing position. How fast children grow.... I'm glad that I'm able to see the 'transformation' that has happened. At times, seeing him perform 'stunts' made us so happy....

Like father like son

Learning to roll-over

Mmmm....finger lickin' good

Poor 'lil Ian...down with fever

...but still manages a smile...

Hang Tuah who? Here comes Hang Botol....

A lovely smile

Another lovely smile....

There are also times when he was not well. He got a flu at 2 weeks, but the Dr said it was normal. Then at 9 weeks, he had fever and cough. The fever is gone, but he's still coughing. Poor 'lil Ian. He's still on medication now, hopefully he is able to recover asap.

Despite the unhealthy condition of Ian, he's still smiling and laughing when playing with us. He's not so active yet, as he sleeps after being fully fed, and wakes up only when he's hungry. I can see that my dad and May's parents are a lot happeier nowadays, after Ian is born. Not only them, we are also much different after becoming parents. There is a sense of more responsibility, being more careful, take lesser risks, and everything we do, we would think of our baby first. We have taken a step forward in our approach of living. Well, everyone has to go through that stage. I'm glad that we have done it. It's a new experience, an experience that we will cherish forever...

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all relatives and friends for their presents and for sharing the joy of our newborn. Thank you....
