Harry is the name! Happy 2 month birthday

After much deliberation, we finally settled on the name for bay Hao - Harry, Yukai (昱愷)! My little Harry seems to be a much calmer and quieter baby than Rayray but then I guess most second children at like this? He is also a much much better sleeper than Rayray! He would wake up around 4/5am after the late night feed and considering he is only two month old, I am very very happy with the progress as I still vividly remember how Rayray woke up at 2/3am till she was nearly weaned on solids.

Height - 56.3 cm 

Weight - 6.2 kg 

Eating - Feeds 6 times a day and still takes bottle well!!! It makes such a big difference for me as it means I can go out to do my own things and leave Harry with the nanny! Basically, I breastfeed him first thing and in the middle of the night only. He is pretty much a GF routine baby as unlike Rayray, I wake up at 7am/7.30am so he does down well for his MN. 


Looking rather serious 


One very proud sister!

I have to say that Rayray has been very very good in terms of accepting the fact that there is a baby in the family and she has to share daddy and mummy with her baby brother. She loves cuddling and kissing Harry and I try to get her to 'help' me whenever she can so she doesn't feel left out. I also try to spend as much time with her just as before and I really cannot complain as she has been brilliant! 

Hello there, are you looking at me?

This month, every one of us in the family is ill and it includes poor little Harry. It started with Rayray's cough back in November/December and maybe because I was at confinement centre and her cough was constant so we didn't really think much of it until it got really really bad one night in the end of December. After that, we all have been coughing non-stop and it was just so heartbreaking to hear and see a two month old baby cough. Poor little love has just learnt how to breath properly and now he has blocked nose and serious cough. It turned out that Rayray has a mild chest infection and Harry caught that too hence my two babies were on antibiotics...my biggest fear. But thankfully, they both seems to have responded well to the meds and are now on the road to recovery.


Yes mummy! I am here!

Development - 
  • Harry sleeps on his tummy so we don't really do tummy time with him. He can move his head from side-to-side smoothly and tracks us whenever we walk around the room. 
  • He has started to dribble! (I don't recall Rayray started dribble so early?!) 
  • Has learnt to express his feelings i.e. screams when he is 'bored' and cries when he is ummm bored!
