I didn’t take a lot of pictures of Matthew during his 2nd month as he was down with Chicken Pox, so in his 3rd month to 6 month, I tried to compensate back. The statement that “babies really grow up very fast” is so true. In his 3rd to 6th month, Matthew had learnt how to flip and turn back on his own as well as to sit up straight.
I just recovered from Chicken Pox, feeling blues.
Hmphf, Who says I don’t know how to smile?
I hope Mummy can quickly take the pictures before I slide downwards.
Ah Yee Julie and Me.
This Chinese New Year (2008) was our first New Year with Matthew. It was great as we finally can go and collect some angbaos from relatives and friends.

Casper, just 2 months older than Matthew is really tall. I hope Matthew will not take after our genes. Geez.

Soon after Chinese New Year, Melvin had to go for overseas business trip again, so we had to shift to Zee Gou’s place temporary till he comes home. In fact, this arrangement has becomes a norm whenever Melvin travels.
Julie decided to set up a play corner for Matthew. He is a relatively active boy and really enjoys flipping and turning around after he becomes a pro. This is when he is in his 4th month going 5th month.
I realised that I still have not open the gym set that office had given me for the delivery of Matthew. Guess, it is time to open and let Matthew plays with his new toy.

Shiqi recommended me this colourful Korea play mat which is good for babies to learn crawling or rolling. I decided to get one for Matthew as well.

A picture of Matthew in a sitting up position. Well, he still couldn’t sit up by himself properly but is trying very hard to cross over this milestone. One day when we brought him out for shopping, he suddenly sat up straight on his own, we were both caught by surprise. That very day he was 6th month old exactly. That was a good news to us, he can finally be strapped on a car seat without sliding left and right, which meant that Melvin can fetch him back home from nanny’s place on his own without needing my help to carry him. yay!!!

Ever since Matthew knows how to flip and turn, he started adopting this sleeping style and found comfort in doing so. Sometimes, we wondered whether his air passage would be blocked and would check regularly on him but he is fine lah!
