Our Sweet Elijah ;-)

Elijah has just turned 3 months old, and looking back at the last 3 months, he's really grown quite a bit. From a birth weight of 3.25kg, his most recent weight 2 days ago was 6.915kg! He's more than doubled his birth weight already, and Daddy says that that proves that Mummy's milk is best ;-) (haha, and free and convenient too, since he doesn't have to wake up at night to feed Elijah ;-))

At 2 weeks ago.... comfy in Granny's arms

Daddy makes a real good pillow

Is that a smile I see??

Is it nap time already?

Other than growing in size, the last 3 months have also seen Elijah progressing from near constant sleepiness, to now cooing and playing. He has a really nice and pleasant temperament... very undemanding... I don't think it's only because as 3rd time parents, we are a lot more relaxed, but rather that he is really not a fussy baby. We very seldom hear him cry very loudly, and although he fusses on and off and wants to be carried (which I guess is normal for any baby), his cry is usually a whine or a whimper (unless that is ignored for prolonged periods), and he can sleep through his brothers' endless chatter, singing (which is very loud), quarreling, temper tantrums and crying. I don't know how, but he seems to understand his brothers' need for attention, and in his own way is willing to share the attention with them.


Lazing around on a late morning...


Mummy making me "do a workout"...

Caleb and Dylan have also been darlings in their own right... from attempting to change Elijah's pampers when he is dirty and fussing (see earlier post), to offering to give him milk (even breastmilk!) when he is crying and hungry. They even sing to him in the car when he cries in attempts to calm him down...


Dylan trying to wear the breastfeeding pillow so he can "feed baby Elijah".

Caleb thinks Mummy also produces Milo and Apple juice.... Gosh... is Mummy really a vending machine???

Dylan looking on as Elijah sleeps, trying not to make too much noise so that he doesn't wake up...


"Er Ge" paying extra special attention to his "Xiao Di"..... always wanting to carry "baby Elijah"....

Guess u can see how difficult it is to take a nice picture of the 3 of them all together???

I just thank God for our 3 lovely boys, and I won't exchange them for anything!
