His royal chubbiness

Hey there Boy Boy!

As you are approaching 3 months old, you are becoming more and more entertaining. Just this afternoon, Daddy was happily telling Mommy how you tried to join in singing when Daddy was singing A-B-C to you... When Daddy sang "A", you followed with "A!", and when Daddy sang "B", you still went "A!". Same with "C" -- you responded with "A!". Of course we know you were probably just vocalizing your happiness, but it still thrilled us to think that you know at least one out of the 26 letters of the alphabet... Seems like the A-B-C song is your favourite song to date. No matter who sings it and how many times you hear it, you will still listen intently and join in sometimes.

We got to do a weigh-in again yesterday at WIC. At 11 weeks old, Boy Boy is now about 14 pounds (6.4kg). No wonder you are beginning to feel more and more like a sack of rice, and a real squirmy one too! Your chubbiness has now spread from your thighs to your arms, and you are filling up your onesies quite well. Mommy really likes to play with all that baby fat of yours. Every time you are feeding, Mommy will disturb you by pinching your chubby legs and arms -- couldn't resist it! Once, Mommy got scolded by Po-po for doing that "哎哟！你不要再弄他了啦！" , and that I should let you drink in peace... Well, like a friend mentioned, this baby fat of yours is "for a limited time only"... better pinch while I still have the chance!

Boy Boy has also found the joy of sucking your little hand. Sometimes you will lick it as if it were yummy ice cream, and other times you will munch on it as if it were a chicken drumstick. The sucking sounds can be pretty loud at times! In the beginning, you couldn't control your hands that well: Every time you tried to bring your hand to your mouth, it will hit your face or eyes, as if you are hitting yourself... And then you will start crying and Daddy will laugh at you... so evil of him right... But to his credit, he will still help you put your hand in your mouth. Nowadays, Daddy has fewer chances of laughing at you already, since you are getting better at finding your little hand.

Lastly, Mommy is proud to announce that your hair is finally growing! No more jokes about botak-ness and baldness... Well, your head still feels like a fuzzy peach right now, but at least it is better than a bowling ball... Hopefully soon we will be able to use a comb on you and create some really funky hairstyles...
