Two months!

Hey there Boy Boy!

In a few more weeks, we will be going back to SG! Lots of people are waiting to see you, especially your Ye-ye and Ma-ma... You must be on your best behavior, okay?

Mommy is pretty anxious about the trip back home. We will have to drive 3h to the Chicago airport, take a domestic flight to Houston (2.5h), transit there for 3.5h, take a flight to Moscow, then another transit (1.5h) before our final flight back to SG. In order to get ready for the big journey back to SG, Daddy, Mommy and Po-Po have brought you out for two "big" outings so far -- both to Indianapolis, which is slightly more than an hour away by car.

Our first trip was on the 4th of July, to Uncle N's house for a BBQ-pot-luck-cum-fireworks night. Boy Boy was pretty obedient in the car both ways! You were sleeping most of the time, and only cried once to indicate that you were hungry. We had to stop at the gas station to feed you because, unlike in SG, it is against the law to remove you from your car seat to feed you while in a moving vehicle.

The second trip was an impromptu trip to Daddy and Mommy's favourite buffet restaurant in Indy. Unfortunately, Boy Boy got hungry on the return trip, and there were no gas stations to stop at in the vicinity. (Yes, Indiana is that ulu...) So poor Boy Boy was wailing non-stop for twenty minutes before you finally relented and took the pacifier. Mommy felt pretty helpless listening to your cries but yet unable to do anything to help you... Hmm, must learn to tune-out baby's cries sometimes...

New (and huge) present from your 舅舅 and soon-to-be 舅母... You were super excited while playing in it -- lots of kicking action!

Sleeping-wise, Boy Boy has managed to sleep four hours straight for the past few nights, which really helped Mommy a lot in terms decreasing the level of panda-ness during the day. But Boy Boy still gets real grouchy at night every night, which Daddy has dubbed your 闹闹 period... Hopefully this 闹闹 period will gradually disappear as you grow older, Boy Boy!

Tomorrow, Boy Boy will be going for your two-month well-baby visit, which includes your jabs... You must be a brave boy, okay? Mommy will treat you with an ice-cream if you are good. But since you can't eat it now, Daddy will eat it for you first... :)
