Can you believe it? Ethan's coming to 6 months now. And this is the first time we're taking a family photo. :) Here it is.

Sigh. Many baby woes.
(1) Reflux
Drinking milk now becomes painful because of it. Because the valve that connects between the esophagus and stomach is not formed properly, each time he burps, the acid will travel up the esophagus and burn his throat.
(2) Teething
He has been biting quite a bit. Particularly his fingers. Tried giving him teething rings but he seems confused how to use it. I think it's really painful cutting teeth and sometimes he just cries and cries. Sucking at the breast or bottle worsens the pain at times.
(3) Eczema
Sensitive skin. Most of his skin around his joints and fold are usually red. Whenever we apply cream on those areas, he squirms. I guess that's painful
(4) Loss of appetite
Because of the reflux, coz it's painful and because of teething, coz it's painful too.
(5) Frustration.
Which leads to him scratching his head and sometimes he scratches so hard it bleeds.
(6) Left eye not focusing well
Seen the pedi on Sat and he says his left eye drifts more toward his nose instead of being in the centre. So he recommended us a baby eye specialist. $$$ again.
(7) Infant care accidentally billed me twice.
Now I have to settle this with them. Can't people get things right? I've got enough things to worry abt.
Sigh. when will this end? It's torturous feeding him. and if he doesn't eat, he won't grow. it's so worrying. And I'm so tired. It's a battle to feed him. Because it takes so long to feed him and I get so tired, it short changes him on play time and possibly brain development.
So worrying.

i think that's what's happening.
visited quite a number of friends' sites. they're probably updated like once in 2 months. and each update is only 4 sentences long. haha. so much for blogging.
well, i don't fare that much better as well. looks like the era of blogs is probably nearing its end.
some say, technology is like dog years. so if something has been hot and around for 5 yrs, that's like 35 yrs of hotness for any tech thing. so that's not that bad.
i started bloggin' like in 2004? now's 2009. not bad. 35 yrs of activity. haha!
anyway, i doubt i'd be updating much anymore. at least until blogs are popular again. i'm even starting to think that facebook is also fading. soon, some other networking website will take over.
yes, it works like pinky and the brain. someday, we'll take over the world!
ok. i'm ranting.
that's all for now. ciao!

LOL. i think you all know who i'm referring to.
since his escape there has been many conspiracy theories which really tickled me. hahaha. here're a few i can remember
conspiracy theory #1
he's actually dead. the escape was just a cover up.
conspiracy theory #2
they purposely set him loose so that he can lead us to the mastermind so his escape was a set-up.
conspiracy theory #3
they let him off to show how great they can be when they catch him again.
anyway, i'm pretty sure there weren't any conspiracies. and i'm glad that he is now back behind bars. some of my colleagues were joking that now, his cell would be the "presidential suite", he no longer has to come out to use the bathroom! hahaha!
