Since my husband went back to work today, it was my first day to take care of Nathan by myself. He was busy playing with his toys most of the day. He will cry at times especially when he has to take a nap. Even though he cried, he actually fell asleep quickly once I laid him down inside his crib. His nap time is usually 1 hr on average. Shortest nap time was 30 mins and longest nap time was 2 hrs.
We buy his Gerber food at Target. I buy both the 2nd Foods and 3rd Foods. The 2nd Foods is more smoother without the chunky pieces of fruits/veggies/meat. The 3rd Foods has some chunky pieces of food. Usually, I serve him the 3rd Foods for his dinner. I do give him rice with small pieces of fish, chicken or steak for dinner at times. We also buy him Gerber oatmeal and rice cereal.
I don’t allow him to go in the kitchen especially when I am cooking. Our kitchen has an island. Since he is a tiny boy, at times I don’t see him sneaking into the kitchen because he is walking on the other side of the island. If I do see him in the kitchen, I tell him to walk back to the family room which is next to the kitchen. If he doesn’t obey, I point towards the family room. When he sees me pointing to the family room, he actually walks back to the family room with a sad expression on his face of course.
He got this toy on Christmas day and has been playing with this particular toy the whole day today.
This is the picture we took as a family in Hong Kong Disneyland. At Hong Kong Disneyland, we bought a picture frame which is now displayed on top of our fireplace in the family room. Before we had Nathan, our family room was filled with pictures of me and Nelson and our cat Smeagol. Now we have a picture with our first child in the family room.
Yay! Glad he likes the toolbox! Actually, I thought he’d run around the house with the tools pretending to “fix” things like Nelson.
