A Baby Diary In Pictures

Russell: 89 days old ;-)

Russell really likes to take a bath. I know we're not supposed to bathe babies everyday but this is the only way for him to get some good sleep.

Russell: 88 days old ;-)

Russell watched Tom & Jerry, and boy did he get so excited. He was nice all day as long as he has something to watch.

Russell: 87 days old ;-)

The weather was finally nice and cool so Russell and me went outside just to chill. He likes being on his rocking chair.

Russell: 86 days old ;-)

We went to the park just for a walk. Russell was getting bored inside the house. He cried and wanted to be outside, so I took him to the park.

Russell: 85 days old ;-)

Russell had trouble sleeping again. He doesn't wanna sleep, he only wants to play. And I need some sleep :(

Russell: 84 days old ;-)

Today, Russell decided that he will not feed from me and that made me really sad. So tomorrow we will be putting him on formula. I really don't want that. I just hope that he would change his mind and feed from me. Man, I never thought that breastfeeding would be this hard :(

Russell: 83 days old ;-)

I am a little sad today. Russell don't wanna feed from me anymore and that means I either have to pump or switch him to formula which I am not very comfortable with. It's just too inconvenient for me. And the thought of giving him formula instead of breastmilk just breaks my heart. Formula, as we know, is not the best, and it's expensive too. And it's not very safe. I am talking about the recent recall on Similac. Don't know what to do :(

Russell seems to be so eager to run. And he is also drooling too much lately, I'm not sure why. But as long as he seems fine, I don't think I have to worry about anything.

Russell: 81 days old ;-)

Russell was in a happy mood on this day. We went to the park and he did not give me any problem at all. So proud of him ;-)

Russell: 80 days old ;-)

Russell was having trouble sleeping tonight. It probably because I drank a lot of coffee :-(

Russell chillin' out before going to sleep.

Russell was being a good boy today. He was with me while I was cooking and he did not cry. He was just watching. On our way to Baton Rouge, he fell asleep on my lap. Everybody likes him. He is not choosy yet about who picks him up. As long as somebody is holding him, he's fine.

Russell: 77 days old ;-)

My future little destroyer is 77 days old today. He is getting smarter and smarter everyday. He now screams like there's an emergency every time he wants me to pick him up ;-)

Russell: 76 days old ;-)

Russell at 76 days. He is getting heavier and heavier each day ;-)

Russell: 75 days old ;-)

Just another lazy day with Russell. He turns 75 days as of today.

Russell: 74 days old ;-)

2010-10-12T00:57:00.000-07:00

Today, we went to the health clinic and we found out that he weighs 11 lbs 6 ounces, yayyyyy! Go ahead baby!

Russell: 73 days old ;-)

Russell really likes being on the snugli. I guess he likes being close to mommy ;-)

Newborn baby ;-)

This is Russell's video just after they took him out from me.

These are some of Russell's pictures from yesterday. We were trying out some winter hats for him. We also gave him a bath which he liked except for the hair-shampooing part. Overall, he was a pretty good boy yesterday.

We also went garage sale shopping yesterday and last week. We found some really really cheap but in excellent condition winter clothes for him. They were like 10 cents a piece, not too bad ;-)

Russell: 71 days old ;-)

Something really unexpected happened today and I don't know whether to cry or just laugh about it. I was giving Russell a bath and while he was on his tub, he pooped!!! It was like the grossest thing I have ever experience. Don't get me wrong, I change his poopy diaper all the time and I'm fine with it. But when he pooped while on his tub with about 3 inches of lukewarm water, now that's another story. And oh btw, Russell is a breastfed baby so you know what his poop looks like. I was so frustrated because Nunnie wasn't there to help me. But anyway, we survived that chaotic mess. I guess I'm just gonna take this as a memorable experience of a new mom. Whatever ;-)

Russell: 70 days old ;-)

Boy boy boy, my baby is getting older and older each day. I wish he would stay as a baby for a long time. He is growing up so fast and I'm not sure if I like it not :-(

Russell taking a bath ;-)

Russell taking a bath. This was taken sometime last week, I couldn't remember what date. But anyway, he likes being in the water and he cries every time we are done bathing.

Fussy baby in car seat :-(

This video was taken on the 3rd of October. We were on our way to the park for an evening walk with daddy.

Russell: 69 days old :-)

This morning with Russell. He is a little bit fussy today. I guess he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

68-day-old Russell...

This morning with Russell. Too bad Daddy missed these moments.
