Wow! 10 days since I last updated!

Dear all,

I can't believe how fast time flies! Its already been 10 days since I last updated! I might have to do this in 2 different shots - just a narrative first and then pictures and videos later.

Isaac has been doing okay. His weight gain has slowed down a little bit and he just got to 5.70 kgs today. His eating got a little messed up when we tried to let him "play" with some solids (rice cereal diluted with formula) so we decided to stop that for now and wait till he is a little heavier before we start it again. His feedings are finally back to normal now. Basically, when we let him play with solids, he started turning down the formula and breastmilk. Since he is still so small, solids are just supposed to be "desserts" for him and he still needs to get all of his nutrients from the formula and breastmilk so that's why we are going to take it slow. Although he will be getting to an adjusted age of 6 mos in a few days (when most people start feeding solids), his weight is not at the adjusted age of 6 mos yet so we may wait a bit longer.

Isaac is basically a very happy baby until he realizes that he is getting very sleepy and he might fall asleep for the rest of the night. He ends up throwing a bit of a tantrum every night when that happens (sometimes its better and sometimes is worse). Once he really falls asleep, he has a very hard time waking up (for example, sometimes he has a very hard time waking up from naps). Its eerie how much like his daddy he is as Jong hates falling asleep at night but once he falls asleep, it takes a lot to wake him up. LOL. There are also a few other things where Isaac is like his daddy but I don't want to embarrass Jong too much. I don't know what I did to "deserve" two little boys like them in my life. Hee hee.

Oh darn. Isaac just woke up and he is WIDE awake!!! Gotta run! Be back later.

Hmmmm. Wish I did get a chance to Issac throw a tantrum while I was in Tokyo. That would have been REAL cute! ^_^
