<font color="119911">sasa (sasa_xie) – he had some numbing cream before the 6-in-1, so that helped. Plus his fat thighs of cos! Even then, he cried for like 3 seconds during the last jab when he was 2 months old, and without the numb cream, and didn’t cry when the nurse took a blood sample last week! Braver than me when it comes to needles.
chewy_ring (chewy_ring) – wow, Zen is quite a long baby! K is 63.5cm, but 7.4kg! Think about 50% percentile for length, but 80% percentile for weight. He also has a big, heavy head.
Rough baby – looks like everyone's babies are the same! K also likes to grab my shirt or seek out my fingers when nursing and start tugging on them or scratching me with his nails!
Sucking fingers – he is doing that a lot more now – I noticed today that he does his tummy time and tries to crawl, he stops to suck his fingers, like to 'refuel'!
Japan – hubby spent 3 months there when he started work at his new job 2 years back, and I was with him for 3 weeks, working out of my Japan office and going for meetings so I didn’t need to take leave. I actually survived taking the train to work during peak hours and not getting lost!
xuanting (xuanting) – CNY Angpow rates:
This is what we have been giving:
1) nieces/nephews - $38
2) friends' (close) kids and other relo's kids - $8 to $28
3) other random kids - $6 (or $4 if really random kids we don’t know belong to who, but we bump into during CNY visits)
4) other random people – auntie that cleans the corridor for my apartment building, security guards, etc - $4 and 2 mandarin oranges
Jessi (jessi) – don't know about being too 'liang' on the floor, but we have been putting baby K at our room (his mattress on our floor) ever since the CL left. Been ok so far.
Detinox for cradle cap – got this from the PD some days back, think she charged us $11. Its pretty good - been using it a couple of days, and K's dandruff has cleared.
