Still Sleepless, So What's New?

Summer is officially here!  I like summer :D

So Mar Mar comes home from her cruise and I'm uber happy!  I can sleep again!  Honestly, CLM's roller coaster sleep habits (still) really gets to me.  Last night, he was wide WIDE awake after his 1am feed and didn't want to sleep until after 2am!  Now the doctor recommended that 文生 sleep in another room since CLM's wakings are negatively affecting his own sleep cycles and thereby jeopardizing his work but unfortunately, that's not an option.  As mom went home for the weekend and CLM wouldn't sleep, I decided to go into mom's room so 文生 could get some undisturbed sleep.  Which meant I HAD NO SLEEP LAST NIGHT.  CLM refused to sleep in the play yard so I had to bring him into bed with me.  This was the first time co-sleeping and with all my previous nightmares of suffocating him (and my fear of squishing him), I dared not sleep.  And so I didn't.  What a fml kinda night, sigh...

With mom away, it meant boring, simple meals (or takeout) as I just had no time to cook.  Not to mention I had no 心情 to cook.  So last week was pretty uneventful: Father's Day, couple of doctor's appointments, stayed at home, meh.

All CLM and food!

Gerber rice cereal is on sale this week at Walmart and since I got a coupon for two bucks off, I picked up a box for 88 cents.  Yay.  CLM's pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start him on solids at his four month checkup but I've been putting it off.  I was going to stick with making my own baby mush but I got lazy so I think I'm going to try giving him the rice cereal this week and see how it goes.

Speaking of mush, my brain feels like it right now so I think I will go sleep.  zzzzzzz..........

Another Week Flies By

Wow, week 24 already.  Give another two and the year's half done!  As we inch towards the first day of summer, it also signals the start of shorter days, the upcoming birthday (and wedding) month, CNE, then back to school... Christmas... aiya, time flies!

This week was pretty interesting I guess.  Of course, it's for the lack of a better word.  My kitchen window leaked again!  Good thing they were able to schedule me an appointment on Friday.  So now that the window's re-glazed I hope it fixed the problem.  I really don't want to wake up to a puddle and worst yet, warped floors.

What a week!

Seems like all highlights of the week happened on Friday: Mom goes on cruise, window guys came, met new family doctor, picked up bridesmaid dress... busy bee!

This Boy Just Won't Sleep!

For some odd reason, CLM doesn't really like sleeping!  He doesn't sleep for the night until at least 9pm and wakes up for sure by 7am (less than 10 hours at night with two feedings in between) and only naps for about 2 hours max in aggregate during the day!  I thought what all babies did was eat, poop and sleep!  Not this one!  Heh!  Wow, and hell breaks loose when he's sleepy and can't fall asleep...

I'm starting to notice that CLM will look carefully at who's around him now but he'll still go to whomever when he's not fussy.  Just like on Sunday, when he practically got carried into the kitchen at Owl of Minerva, LOL~!

Week 23 equally dominated by CLM and the Keurig, aiya~!
Zio Adrian says Curtasee's cheeks look like he's smuggling golf balls, LOL!

Wednesday was a special day for 文生 (again) as he was convocated to his MFin!  Congrats!  No more classes, no more assignments, no more exams.  Yay!

Despite not being a coffee drinker, I have this new found fascination with Keurig machines so I went out and got one (it was on sale, couldn't resist!).  Fresh, different flavoured, single cups of coffees can now be had in my household.  Now I want to learn how to pour latte art!  Well, first I gotta get myself a milk frother... and then someone to drink the lattes.

I'm So Proud!

OMG, I'm so proud of CLM!  He fell asleep by himself not once, but TWICE yesterday!  Put him in his crib while he was wide awake and he dozed off!  What a first!

First Time Painting!

Yesterday, we went to Paint Lounge for Sofia's bridal shower.  My first time painting!  Curtasee was pretty much co-operative... at least long enough for me to finish my artwork (ya right, if you can call it that)!  Well, due to the fact that there were several more than willing people to Cur-Cur-sit for me!  It was fun-filled and full of laughter!  Then we proceeded to Il Postino on Main Street Unionville for part deux of the girl's night out.  Good times!

Not a bad painting for my first eh?

Curtasee continues to have roller coaster type sleep cycles.  Five hours one night and three hours another...aiya!
