Family Life

Joseph is seen here enjoying some tummy time on a playmat. He lies on his stomach and at times lifts his head to train his spine and muscles to be stronger. Thanks to Theo's parents Jeff and Konny for gifting this playmat to us!

Hello friends! This afternoon our little family ventured out to Taitua Arboretum. Joseph was in a Lillebaby carrier. He could see out the side (if only he was awake! ) The photo is showing our very first selfie. Ta da! We were accompanied by resident ducks, cows and roosters. The walk took 90 min and we built up a decent appetite! And here is a social media reel I made from the photos and videos.

Joseph's head is kept warm with a cute blue hat. Which happens to snugly fit the head of his 1st friend's Mr. Sloth!

We arrived at Ama and Agon's home for a brief confinement period according to Chinese culture. Usually this lasts 1 month. And there are strict rules like no hair washing! The photo is Joseph lying on his side using a apple patterned soft cloth that I used when I was a baby. My way of doing it was much relaxed and slack. Mum cooked every meal. We spent time in a heat pump warmed room. We established routine and Joseph has been a calm baby when he's not crying, an alert baby w

Andrew, Joseph and I transferred to River Ridge for the next couple of days. We were supported by midwives 24 / 7 to learn how to dress, feed, change nappy, bath and put Joseph to bed. My milk had not come. Joseph was also moderately jaundiced so we bottle fed him and was on a 3 hour feed-change-sleep cycle. The other photo is on towards the end of our stay.
