Weight: 9.4kg
Length: 73cm

Feeding: 5oz water with 2.5 scoops milk powder 4 hourly. Tried rice cereal once a day, 1 tablespoon cereal with 1oz water. Then increased to 2 tablespoon with 2 oz water the following week. Tried Heinz biscuits as well. Gave him some pureed apple, pear and papaya sometimes. Payaya did caused him to have more bowel movements. He was constipated after we changed his milk powder from Similac Stage1 to Stage2. We tried giving him Heinz Prune juice 1/2 oz diluted with 1/2 oz water, luckily it helps.

Sleep: Normally he will take a 1-hour nap in the morning, afternoon and early evening. He normally sleeps around 9pm till 7am with once or twice night feeding. If he sleeps too late, he will get overtired and turn really fussy. We normally hold him and rock him to sleep by singing lullabies and some patting at his back. He likes to sleep at his side with one leg over his bolster.

Physical skill: He can scoot backward on four. Grasping things is also his newly acquired skill. He likes to grasp and taste any new things that caught his attention. That includes our face and hair. He pulled and broke 2 bead necklaces, one belongs to my mum and the other belongs to a friend. Anyone can hold him, he is not choosy at all as long as you carry him around. He can sit and stand with our assistance.

Talking: "Ah pa"

New possession: Lamaze Clutch Cube, Pooh Bear teether, sis hand-made owl, a cardboard  book, two flip and find books and a nursery  rhyme.

Fever

Baby had his first fever on 5 Nov. Parents In-law brought him to a GP and he commented that baby might have Pneumonia and referred him to the Hospital. They rushed him to the Hospital straight away. With his mild fever of 37.2 deg C, baby was still active and happy at the Hospital looking here and there.
It was a long wait till baby became restless and tired. Luckily Dad In-law went to check with the Doctor if they allow to let baby first and they agreed. After checking, the doctor commented: "This is 1 healthy  baby!" We were sent home with a bottle of paracetamol.
That  night, baby's fever rose, but we did not have a thermometer to measure the exact value. We used a wet hanky on his forehead to lower his temperature. It was a relief that his fever subsided sometimes past midnight.
Baby was supposed to have his immunization jab the next day, but was delayed to next week.
Later  that week, sandbox and I went to buy a digital thermometer.
