I didn’t realize I hadn’t updated my blog since Tuesday. D:
I guess it’s really because of Dayre! It’s so easy to update there because I can do it on my phone and most of the time I’m doing it while feeding Fighter (or pumping) which takes up about a billion minutes of my time.
The good thing about Dayre is that whatever random thoughts or occurences that I think are worth putting down, I put it down there. Yea because I’m narcissistic like that and I think my thoughts are worth saving. Lolol.
The bad part is that because I put down my thoughts so quickly there, they don’t have time to evolve into a bigger idea, one that deserves to go into this blog.
So although I have tons of things I wanna say, I’ve already written down the condensed version on Dayre and then have nothing to say here. D: Not a good thing!!!
I need to get into the habit of writing longer and putting more effort in… cos I don’t wanna lose my skills. Already I’m deteriorating, just look at how much better I wrote while I was at Moho!
Anyway, first up, Fighter spam! (yea I’m really writing longer here ah wtf)
I buckled and got Fighter a pacifier. I didn’t want to have to wean him off it, but then I noticed he was nuzzling at my breast and trying to feed every hour! We thought it was a growth spurt but he’d overdrink and puke. -___- And he also started stuffing his hands into his mouth and sucking his fingers so we figured he only wanted comfort and got him a pacifier. This one’s from Avent!

Sucking contentedly while in Grandma’s arms.
Stupid boy hahahaha. This night he spat up 4 times wtf and this is his 4th tshirt we had to change him into. Look at his face hahahaha.
Out with our Bugaboo Bee for the first time!!! This was my dream pram haha and I’m so happy I got it in this color! Got it from Mothercare if anyone is interested wtf. The yellow outside and monotone stripes inside design is a special edition.
Super match my outfit some more! Totally coincidental hahaha but it makes for the best picture ever. We were all in minion shirts that Angie got us and in this pic, Fighter really looks like a real minion hahaha.
Went for dinner the other day at Pierre and Lay See’s so Fighter and their #littlesumo (who are by default BFFs and golf buddies already according to their dads wtf) could meet.
I guess they find each other’s company damn boring cos they both slept through it all wtf.
Lay See was laughing at how Fighter was sleeping…
And her daughter smacked her doll down next to him. HAHAHAHA SAME POSITION ONE.
Fighter’s onesie was a present from Uncle Ming. 😀
Put the two babies next to each other and they’re all like “bro, bro, not so close dude.”
Fighter’s clothes changed cos he puked again. -_- Wearing Javier’s pajamas hahaha cos I forgot to bring spare clothes.
Random pic of the girls that Pierre/Fats took.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!
His face is extra irritating here because he kept me up half the night before. And he on the other hand so good mood. Lolol irritating baby.
Just checking my email. I’m a busy baby.
Then out for a lunch with my uhh colleagues. That’s Chief Milk Officer and Chief Burping Officer to you. I’m just the Chief.
Fighter’s most dreaded time of the day. The hair wash.
He actually likes the bath itself! Just the hair washing, and strangely recently the part where he’s wrapped in a towel. Then he cries the house down. :X No idea why!
Bath time over? Don’t believe. I’m watching you.
Don’t talk to me I still haven’t forgiven you.
My handsome boy! Bath time all forgotten wtf.
He’s been smiling a bit recently!!!
I didn’t know if it’s just reflexes or real smile but nowadays when we talk to him or make funny noises he’s been smiling! Or if I machine gun kiss his cheek he’ll like smile tentatively ahahaah.
But I googled for real smiles for babies and they only come from 2-3 months onwards. Fighter’s corrected age is 1.5 months so I don’t think it’s a real smile la haha. Oh well.

6 weeks will usually have social smile, so that’s a great big smile you got there!!:(
Oops..it was supposed to end with a smiley face..sorry!:)
Agree with comment. Social smile usually comes at 6 weeks. Pretty sure that big gummy smile is a real one!
Hi Audrey, I don’t know if this has been asked before but Im actually kinda curious…nUnderstand that fighter is considered “1.5 months” old but his actually age is around 3 months now? So in terms of growth of baby he’s considered a 1 and 1/2 month baby but actual age is 3 months? Is that how you & Tim are counting it as?nn(I hope I didn’t ask a stupid question, but I guess I’m a bit curious and each baby is different so I didn’t want to google but would like to hear the view from you)
if he keeps puking, put on bibs. saves you loads of washing his clothes..
Awwww… cute to the MAX! 😉
even got curious for you and googled why bb scared of bathing time. seems they are insecure without clothes. have to put on mittens or put a hankie at stomach while bathing. hope it works!
Aaaw..he totally melts my heart. Love the big gummy smile.
aisshh….too cute…beh tahan…wan cubit again. and he got chubby so fast~
Like mother like son! You also hated washing hair when you were baby and screamed the house down as well. We panicked whenever you screamed so I didn’t really wash your hair thoroughly then, I think that’s why you have thin hair now hahaha. You’d better don’t make the mistake which I did!
Daphne : fighter was born at 31 weeks, which is about 7 weeks premature (38 – 31 = 7).nOf cos cannot compare him with a term baby, have to give him some leeway. So if he is three months old now which is about 12 weeks, then you have to minus 7 weeks, which would be about 5 weeks old, that is the developmental age that we should assess him for. 🙂 if he is more advance the of course it’s all well and good!:)
The last photo of Fighter’s beautiful smile has to be one of my favourite baby photos ever! 😀
Hahaha yay!
Anonymous is right! To calculate his corrected age (which is what I should refer to for his developmental milestones) I must take his real age and minus the amount of months he was born early. So he’s 3.5 months old but corrected age is 1.5 months.
Yay!
Yay!
Bibs are too big for him lol. It still ends up on his clothes
That’s what our confinement lady told us! But no difference. He doesn’t hate baths anyway he likes it. Just hates the hair wash.
Mummy is that you? Hahahaha why are you anonymous?
Hi Audrey, nI’ve been a silent reader for some time but decided to pop by to say hi. You and I were preggers about the same time and while my circumstances were not as drastic as yours, I too was hospitalized prior to delivery – my contractions had started at 21 weeks. Eventually, delivered at 34 weeks. as a teeny tiny scrawny little thing but he’s making up for lost time. Similarly, I love watching how Fighter has grown and is progressing in leaps and bounds. He’s come so far and I truly think that’s due in great measure to the love that you and Timothy have shown him. You guys really seem to be wonderful parents with so much love to give. Looking forward to more updates of your handsome little man – after all, he’s really the product of your love. Take care!
OMG Fighter is so chubby!!!nGood job you – quality breastmilk ok!
*pounds chest
Thank you! Appreciate the answer… 🙂
He’s getting even cuter! Also, almost nothing is quite as annoying as a cheerful baby who kept you up all night. That’s why they’re so cute, so we don’t eat them when they do that lol
I learnt once in a module that babies smile because they are imitating their parents’ facial expression. So keep smiling at him. Haha. He looks more and more like you everyday Aud.
Aww, that last picture is too cute!!! What an adorable smile =)
