We are very proud and happy to share
with you some snap shots of this little cutie...
Jovi Yue-Sheng
Tseng
Jovi now weights about 8+ pounds, measures 21 inches tall.
Cry,
Eat, Poop, and Sleep
The
major challenge in our first few days of parenting was to establish breast
feeding.
Fortunately
Jovi learned to latch on pretty fast and Hai-Ping's milk came in on the
fourth day.
We
thought once we have enough milk to feed him, Jovi wouldn't cry so much.
However,
Jovi cries for food every 2 to 2-1/2 hours, and a lot of other times for
companionship or who-know-what reasons.
Jovi
poops every time during feeding. He soiled and wetted 360+ diapers in his
first month.
Jovi
does not sleep as much as what we'd like him to. This is especially hard
for us at nights.
With
a newborn, it is like living in a different world where the clock is set
by the baby's stomach instead of days and nights.
Tai-Ran
lost 7 pounds in the first week.
Without
Hai-Ping's mom here to help, we would have black eyes and be like zombies.
Each
day we see Jovi grows, and each day we love him more.
Jovi
has lots of facial expression. You see him expressing joy, anger, curiosity,
and hunger.
He
likes to kick and move his hand around as if he is playing Tai-Chi. He
would reach for objects.
He
is able to lift and turn his head when on stomach. He would follow your
voice, face, or a moving object.
He
started making sounds other than crying.
Although
infant acne started popping up on his face in the second week, we still
think he is a lovely cutie.
