Three months!

(photo by John, 20 march 2008)

My fave photo from the snaps that John took for Val and I last Friday. We had initially gone to his place to get passport shots of Val but ended up taking some fun snaps. John caught this on film when i was laughing at the bubble that Val was forming. It was a perfectly round bubble with a droplet still inside and he was blowing it in and out. Really tickled me! I must say, this is like the best photo we have of ourselves cos most time i'm too busy taking shots of him and noone else taking shots of us two together. So it's nice...I took the opportunity to print some photos for the scrapbook i'm keeping for him, and went back to see some of the photos of him when he was a newborn. Gosh! it really made me shocked to see the changes. He was soooo scrawny and sooo newborn and soo raw even then. Eyes closed, peeling skin, tiny limbs, hardly any fats, a pigeon chest...... And now, at least he's got some fats on him and twinkling eyes! My Ma calls them Mata Kuching or Cat Eyes that never seem to close for his nap! This past week's been quite a challenging one for me cos Val has suddenly changed his sleeping pattern. He used to tank up a lot at 7pm and then could sleep from 8pm till 1am, and then have one feed which can last till 5or 6am. These 3 nights, the lil un been getting up every 2 hours on the dot which is driving me nuts... and i think the scratchy throat i've got is thanks to his antics. But what can i do? He's probably on his 3-month growth spurt and if i dun nurse him once his eyes pop open, he'll end up waking up fully and then not sleeping. So yeah..... tough..... i just hope Val reverts to his nice sleeping pattern again and SOON!
