Happy 4 Months!!

Mikael turns 4 months old today. Coincidentaly I've never been to any of the hot air balloon fests before, and decided to make a field trip out of it. We missed all the balloons on the Saturday, arriving on site at 8am and Aboh spent a good amount of time helping out a family getting their car tyre out of the mud..so we went again on Sunday! Mikael probably wont recall any of this but I wasnt going to let this chance slip away- my being on leave, F around and onshore..and Mika young healthy and cute!

Thank you Aboh for taking us-twice. Sorry it may seem like you've got two babies at hand sometimes. We love you dearly!!

Wk11.

Mikael now really loves to sleep in people's arms. We couldn't manage a spot to put him for his naps..so we had to hold him throughout his naptime - which lead to hours and hours. He slept at 4 hours per average of a nap. Now thats the winter effect! Afraid that this might spoil him a bit, but really there was no choice. Back in KL he's gonna have to sleep by himself no more bed sharing co sleeping shebang. He has just developed the skill to spit up if not properly burped. My body aches from the bed sharing and I end up waking up really grumpy and tired.

Mika may has the snuffles or a case of sore throat perhaps? But his voice has gotten croaky its almost man-like haha!

Wk10. Astana!

Mika travels to Astana! I think I am more nervous than anyone on the trip. You cry out now whenever you are cranky - that is a new milestone for you!! Before, you hardly cried unless you were hungry and thats it! Haha..its more of a squeal than anything, I personally found it rather funny. I have a funny feeling that you are nursing less than usual. Am not sure if its the weather or the food I've been eating thats making me less sore and feeling less full =(

Its too cold for you dear, -27 the day we arrived. Tokji and NannyK showered you with presents which ended up being your staple everyday wear while you were there. It was just TOO cold. (Will have to make another entry about Astana- promise!)

Mikael's second trip abroad

Thank you Aboh for having us stay with you. We love you!
