Overstimulation
For the past few days, I have been having these big meltdowns every evening...no its not colic.
I turn all red and my eyes turn big and then I cry my little lungs out.
No one could figure out what triggered off these tantrums...and then mommy thought about things that have changed in the past few days.The one major change that has taken place is that I have been going out everyday..to peoples houses and to the park...and when she mentioned this to the nurse at Kaiser, the nurse talked about "Overstimulation". Apparently at about this age, all babies go thru this phase where they learn to observe new sounds and sights...Excitement, tiredness, and tension combine to prevent the baby from settling down.
So the nurse recommended that we stay home the next few days..that I not be exposed to too much too soon.
That puts a damper of our spirits coz my grandparents were sooo enjoying the daily outings:(

Mommy's little insomniac
Mommy is raising an insomniac!
For the past few days, getting me to sleep has been such a struggle.
I wake up at about 7 every morning and then refuse to sleep all day and then by about 6 in the evening Im so cranky I can barely eat.
So my mom has been reading this book called lull-a-bye baby and is learning how to get me to sleep well...So today just to humor her I slept all afternoon..Mommy is still trying to figure out whether it was due to the book or if that was just a flash in the pan.
Here are some pics of me getting daddy to sleep...oh wait..it was supposed to be the other way around...I was the one supposed to nap!
Whoever coined the phrase "Sleeping like a baby" needs to be clubbed on his head.
Notice how well I used to sleep when I was just 4 weeks old..Its only now that I have turned into a little brat!
Central Park

We went to Central Park today and had a great time there.
We took lots of fun pictures and I had a great time looking at the big trees. We kept away from the duck pond coz the ducks were rather rowdy..and mommy was scared they would come close to me.

Mommy took me for my first "Mommy and me" class. There they taught her different ways to burp me and other little tips and tricks.
Here are some pics from when they showed her how to put me on my tummy safely.

I graduated from the lactation class today!
02/28/2007
Im 5 weeks old and finally today I graduated from my lactation class!!
For those of you who came in late..heres the story so far.
My mommy struggled with lactation for the past 5 weeks..I took waaaaaaay too long to learn to latch on. By the end of the 2nd week she was ready to give up! But my grandma and Toral aunty kept nudging her on..So every 2 days she would go in to the lactation consultants at Kaiser and they would try and find new ways to help me latch on.
Today..after 5 LONG weeks I finally graduated! I have finally learnt to latch on!
Thank you grandma..thank you Toral aunty!
