What a brat

(The makings of a brat)

Aren't babies supposed to be sleeping ALL the TIME? Not only that, when he sleeps he makes the weirdest noise ever. No its not deep breathing, but sudden split second cry or those deep throat sounds which last a sec or 2 before going back to sleep again.

According to the missus he's not been sleeping in the afternoon like from 2pm - 9pm. Told the missus to torture him and not let him sleep like till 11pm... Wonder if it'll work.

(The smirk after driving his parents nuts)

What was fun is he farts like an adult. Like a real adult. A big huge BRRRTTTT. And it so happened I had a lots of air in my tummy so it was like an alternative farting orchestra which nearly drove the missus mad. He of course have to shit his pants (errr diapers), which incidentally is quite expensive and he uses like 6 of them a day. Sheesh. 

I've been thinking about how unfair it is to just post up his pics and not my wife so here is the moment when the missus is being wheeled out from the delivery ward into the room. 

(Missus looking at her creation)

See Jacob being so good and quiet, sleeping soundly not giving a care while the missus looks on wondering if all the pain she just went through was worth it.

From the picture below, one could tell she felt it was worthy. Look at her looking lovingly on Jacob.

(The missus still had no idea she has a brat on her hands)

Yeah with all the anxiety and the fear over, she looks on lovingly at Jacob. She had absolutely no idea the mess he'll be and i wonder if she'll look different after 3 weeks with Jacob.

(look, my baby, isn't he swell? ya rite... wait for 3 weeks...)

From hours to 3 weeks old, the bugger had grown longer, can't use the word taller coz I just feel its the wrong word to use. He's changed quite a bit aye?

Well sorry for not updating last week because it has been a very hectic week at work. Jacob's godfather the brit bhai is back in Sillypore for his full month party. So i'll be busy hanging out with him and I really like to see Paul change diapers for his godson. Do u think he'll do it?

What about a wager?

It didn't get better

Its Wednesday folks. I'm off to KL tomorrow and weirdly I think, I will, I feel, I gather that I will miss the little bugger.

(huh? Dad's leaving? Who am I gonna torment?)

Same level work colleagues don't seem to be having a nice day either. No its not Lehman Bros or AIG, its just the general mood and in reality .. just busy. I hate busy it means I'm not earning money. 

Oh I signed 2 policies for the little bugger today. Yes with AIA. No I'm not going to be afraid of AIG because the US government now has shares in it. And unless the whole US of A dies which I hope it doesn't happen soon (though I think God has a hand in most of the disasters recently), I'm not panicking and I'll continue supporting my insurance mate. 

(YAWN!! My dad is such a boring ASS)

Got that bugger an education fund thingy so I don't need to fork out a sum of money if he 'can' study and wanna go to the Uni and best of all it includes an insurance on me so if something happens to me, the policy will continue to pay its own premium. Sweet isn't it? And I can surrender his policy in 10years, If the bugger continues to pay Sgd250 till he is 60, he'll be a 3.6millionaire. WOOT. Why didn't my dad do that for me. Sigh...

Alright I don't think I'll be able to update till I'm back, so I'm gonna put some more photos for Jacob fans. Yes HE has fans... if you count his godfather.....

(Time to think about torturing someone else.)

(All these thinking is making me.. sleepy...)

What a bad mood day

(I'm so cute and adorable, Bite me)

Not sure what got into me today and I'm in a foul mood as hell. Nope its not the lack of sleep nor is it nicotine withdrawal. Hell no. 

Its more to do with work at the moment and I'm hell pissed with irresponsible partners. Sadly I've to admit I got cheated into dealing with them. Thank goodness they aren't the only one in the market, I'm  just pissed with the whole effort wasted.

We'll see what the team can spin around this evening. 

Oh its not about me why you came into my blog? What? Jacob is more important? Well he can start a blog on his own then. SHEESH. 

(Missus always insisting he has beckham hair)

I sort of missed carrying him yesterday coz I was home really late and he was just sound asleep according to the missus. Jacob was awake from 7pm - 11pm refusing to sleep and had his 2.5hours feeding before going to bed. Anyways I manage to carry him this morning before coming to work.

Here's a couple of pics. Enjoy. isn't he a cute little bugger?

(the I'm perplexed look, MUMMY I don't wanna be an ABC)

(Whatcha staring at? Wanna get beaten up?)

Hows your weekend then?

See the lack of sleep and motivation to update the blog is caused by none other than that Mr Jacob Tan. 

His antics over the weekend has changed and finally we are able to get 3 hours of rest after 2 hours of feeding, cleaning shit, feeding, cleaning shit and feeding. Yes thats the rolling pattern. 2x shitting for 3x feeding. And it has to stay that pattern because thats Jacob's pattern. 

(Jacob looking nonchalant about his antics)

He's turning a bit yellow again and the last trip to the Pd, he has reach 12.6 and would have to be hospitalized for jaundice treatment again if he hits 14. Not only will that hit my already very sore wallet, its going to drive the missus nuts. 

(Staring into space is 1 sign that the shit is coming soon)

The problem can be resolved if we get some sunlight in Sillypore. We could bake the bugger in the sun for 15mins each time twice a day and we're all set to go. But no Sun in sight for the past weeks! 

(can you spot the changes?)

He'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow and there are obvious changes to his face, not as cute as when he was a couple of days old :P But just as cute I supposed. 

During certain times of the day when it was my duty to look after him, I could see the brat in him, the bugger better watch out who he's being a brat with, I don't take nonsense kindly. MUAHAHAHAH 

In another 2  more weeks we'll start carrying him around to some friends whom we really need to meet. 

So how was your weekend then?

The best laid plans

The best laid plans can go awry when the tormentor aka Jacob refuses to adhere to it. It was the same plan as yesterday. Feed it late, feed it lots. Oh No, he had to eat his fill way earlier and then wake up 2 - 3 times in the wee hours of midnight. 

Unfortunately some people have forgotten to wash their hands before carrying him or touching his face (which no one should), no one should touch a baby's face because its more tender than your ass. So our dear Jacob has 4 huge pimples around his face. Oh well if he gets to earn some money himself or allow me to strike some type of lottery we could maybe bring him to some skin care salon. 

Not much to rant about but oh, this came to mind.  wonder if the missus would want to try for a baby girl soon... hmm food for thought.

Neways more pictures for my dear readers.

(The feet of our future star footballer. I'd kiss those feet if he ever plays for Arsenal)

(or he could be a blues singer, look at those fat lips!)

(Jacob looking pissed after being cheated with a nipple that doesn't give milk.)

Getting away with it

Nope, there's no way to get away with it. The plan was simple, feed it every 3 hours, during 10pm - 12am feed it as much as it can eat, the objective being that it will sleep through the night.

Not only it made the Missus really tired, the little bugger woke up once at 4am and another at 7am. DARN!!!!

I've noticed how he'll drink a bit, take a shit, look stoned for a while and start looking for the nipple. If no nipple is found within 5 seconds, all hell breaks loose. Well, he's hell is still quite tame compared to others. Nonetheless, its hell. He'll suckle and suck the nipple with all his might for exactly 1 minute and then fall into a doze, each time we pretend to remove the nipple, he'll wake up and give it another 3-5 sucks and then fall asleep. This will continue for 15mins and then I'll have to burp him. After the burp, he'll be wide awake, staring into the distance, moving his eyeballs and then.... fart.  Not once but a few good wet farts. 

This continues for 3 hours. Until Missus got pissed and decides to bring the bottle upon him, which by then he'll be sound asleep. And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it except throw the milk away.

Here are the photos of Jacob tormenting his folks.

(Enough of Nagging Already!!!)              (If i don't find my nipple in 5 seconds......)

After completing the 'torment parents' assignment.

Blues and Yellows

Yup it was blue yesterday, Yellow gone today. Doesn't make much sense, so does the rest of my blog anyway. 

Jacob is back from the hospital after his jaundice treatment so the missus is all well and lively today. For me, its just back to wiping backsides. The weekend without Jacob was actually a blessing in disguise like I was saying yesterday. So lets see what challenges are being brought on from today.

I'm back at work and tons of things to do. Jacob nearly gave me some luck in the 4d thingy where I could have won $4150. I used his birth certificate number and the first prize was just missed by 1 miserable number. Oh Well, thanks anyway Jacob, I know you tried. It could have paid for your hospital fees. 

My earlier post about fatherhood stated that I shouldn't be boasting about my baby, but damn this is not a boast but really a bewilderment. That bugger is exactly 1 week old and he can turn himself on the BED. Damn it, I'm ranting about the danger he is posing himself more than the strength he has. Imagine a 7day old baby suffocated to death due to his neck strength making him lie face down. EERIE~~

Anyway the whole family is happy (yes including me) that he's back to give us more problems. Parenting is indeed about learning. Learning how they learn things and at the same time they are teaching us on how we should learn things. Confusing? Well read it slowly and UNDERSTAND.

I'll leave a couple of pics for Jacob's Godpa, who incidentally said, 'He (Jacob) looks lovely, thankfully he doesn't have your ugliness" KNN that smelly Chan Ho SINGH pok kai. Can imagine Jacob turning into an ass just like him. Maybe I should strangle him now before he grows up to be like his Godpa.
