Wow, our little princess was 2-month-old last Tuesday! At times, it is still a wonder that I gave birth to this bundle of joy :) She is getting more responsive and looks ard the surrounding with curious eyes. Erhm, she cannot sit still and wanna us to carry/'talk'/play with her. With her increasing weight, our arms/shoulders get tired easily! Some friends joked that treat her as weights to train up biceps :P
BB outings
Yeah, I finally managed to bring Yuan2 out alone! First time was to push her in the stroller to buy lunch from nearby coffeeshop. She slept soundly in the stroller :) Next was to meet up with 30+ mummies/babies from SMH May 09. After giving her a full feed FM120ml, she slept through the 30min journey -- so happy to be able to drive her out alone FINALLY. We bought this small little mirror so that we can see her while driving -- infant care seat is backfacing the driver. Our little darling was quite immuned to baby crying -- slept through the gathering *FAINT* It was a challenge to bring BB out alone -- handling the stroller and diaper bag. TK is a gem -- going out with him is a breeze as he takes care of everything :)

BB's own roomWe decided to move the baby cot to the nursery room @ 8-week. Beside making her independent at early age, both us and her can sleep better! Her sleep used to be interrupted by our movement in the room while we were disturbed by her many "sounds". Now, after her last feed at 11pm-12midnite, we put her in the cot and leave her to sleep in peace. I will wake up for her next feed when I hear her loud cry -- ignoring other "sounds" :)
BB sense of touch
Since we took off her mittens and booties @ 6-week, she is exploring different texture with her fingers and feets. Sometimes, she will wail suddenly and when I ran to her room to check on her -- haha, she is pulling her hair and dunno how to let go! Oh, I gotta trim her nails diligently -- she scratched her face a number of times!

BB Fussing
Lately, Yuan2 will fuss during feed :( She will cry for milk and when milk is given, she will drink a few mouthful, stop n wail! We were at a lost what to do with her! Heard from other mummies that she may have wind in her stomach which makes her uncomfortable. To release the wind, we tried to burp her more and not let her cry too much before feed -- our double bull is impatient and when she wants milk, she wants it NOW!
Infant Care
We plan to put Yuan2 in an infant care centre when I return to work in September. Those around our home are fully booked -- hence the alternative is near my workplace. We managed to reserve a slot @ Learning Vision's Zero to 3 Infant & Toddler Centre @ NUS Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory http://www.learningvision.com/Parent/centres/temlifescience.aspx. The fee is more expensive than those near our home -- we will be paying $898 per mth after government subsidy of $600 for working mothers. Hope Yuan2 will adapt well @ the centre :)
