The bo liao parents are at it again.... let's do a comparison using baby photos =)
n.b. the one on the left is papa, me centre, and mama on the right
Call me biased, but my baby Jan is the cutest! Haha....you don't expect anything else from the parent right?
Jan usually don't like to be placed on her tummy, but we the kiasu parents wanted her to learn how to turn over, and we heard that babies in this position have more opportunities to practice turning and exercise the necessary muscles, so....anyway, she will usually ruin our plans by protesting violently (now that I said it, I think a video of her protesting will actually be very interesting, though I fear that when she grows up she will condemn me for publicizing such embarrassing footages 
).
We learned that one way to overcome her protesting is to let her "climb" on top of a pillow, so her upper body is propped up and she can see more of her surroundings.
HOWEVER, even then, she would still protest if you leave her there long enough....or she would start sucking her fingers and fall asleep in that position...so much for wanting her to exercise...
Another unrelated thought: now that our blog is linked to facebook, I wonder how many more/less people are reading it...do post a "hi" on our blog if you can =)
You must have heard about how newborns take on different looks during the first few months of their lives. It is almost as if the babies could not decide which parent's features to take on, so they just try new combinations each month.
For us, it is hard to detect this change as we look at Jan everyday. So we decided to put together snapshots of her from every month and see if we can see the metamorphosis in action.
Jan indeed did change her looks! The five photos below show her growing from June (when she was born) till now. In fact, she looked rather different at birth compared to how she looks now!
However, comparing her looks from one month to the next, it is harder to tell where the changes occurred. Can you "spot the difference"? =D

Jan turned 11-week last Friday! We are thankful for how she has grown over the past weeks, and her schedule has also settled down considerably. Even though we are still waiting for the sleep-through-the-night to happen, we can now predict pretty well when she will next be hungry or sleepy. She is also much less fussy, and is especially easy to handle at night. And that of course translate to better rested mum and dad. =) And we also got more of our usual schedules back--going to church, running errands and such.
Jan has been growing well! She now weighs 5.8kg, 2.8kg heavier than her birth weight, which means she has been following the expected 1kg/month weight gain for 0-3 month old babies.
She now runs on a 3-hourly schedule -- every 3 hours, she would wake up for a feed, then have some wake time, before she goes for a 1-1.5 hour nap. It is so predictable nowadays that I can tell what those hours are: 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10:30pm, 4am. She has dropped the 1am feed, and our attention now is definitely on the 4am feed.
