Chinese New Year in a nutshell

19th Jan and here's my baby in the car, playing. It's always a challenge to get him into his car seat and it's always a joy to see him shrieking and playing.

Chinese New Year and Ethan has been so sweet. He's been playing and adapting really well to the very little sleep he's been able to get this season, what with all the visiting. Ethan "performed" 2nd day of New Year eating 7,8 spoonfuls of porridge from Cousin Margaret's spoon. Of course fat hope us duplicating this on 3rd Day.


Gross but mum had to rush to our house to soap my poor crying Ethan's butt cos crap was stuck and won't come out. Ethan was crying and straining until he was exhausted and there was a little bleeding. But after mum came and crap was released, Ethan went straight back to playing.

My sweetheart got up from his cot to hug me first thing this morning. Seems he knew I scalded my hand twice making milk for him last night. Couldn't do anything about the scalding cos I had to try to boob him to sleep. Of course Emmanuel only woke up after Ethan screamed. Ethan also only screamed after I scalded myself, before that he was a sweet koala holding onto to me from the back :-)
