Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year blog! Its been a while since i have updated any sort of information on here!
Anyways, all has been well! Max is now 14 weeks old and is cheeky as ever! I am set here wondering what happened with the last 14 weeks!!! Time has definitely flown by!!!
Last year ended with lots of fun and started with lots of fun as well!
We went to London when Miks school holidays started and officially made Max a Malaysian! He's now got his Malaysian birth certificate and a Malaysian passport!!! Whilst in London, Miks went ice skating thanks to two very kind folks who decided to give their ticket to Miks coz the rest of the tix were sold out for the day!!!
Then, we spent Christmas with our dear friends in Horsham, UK. After that we were on our way to Malaga, Spain for the new year! Boy, was it FUN!!! We then returned home to reality and went back to good old routine! Miks is now back at school and Max....is what can i say....busy growing up trying to catch up with his sister! 
Speaking of which, against lots of books and health visitors advice, Max had his first taste of baby rice cereal at 14 weeks old!! He absolutely LOVED it!!! With that, he also slept much better at night and was not as fussy and wakey in the middle of the night! Looks like there is no turning back for us now in terms of food for Max!(Unless of course his body suddenly decides that it does not like food yet!) Then also as well as introducing food to him, last night i decided to try to let him fall asleep in his bed on his own, after having his usual cuddles and feed! He cried...no more like SCREAMED his little lungs out for about 15 mins with some breaks in between and pacifier soothing but no picking up! guess what?? he did it and slept after that. He also in my view slept much better last night with waking up only closer to 2 am rather than his usual midnite, 1am , 2am , 3am, 5am  and 7am!  After the 2 am feed, he only woke again at 5am  and again at 7.30am! So glad! I might try it again tonite! Hard as it was, i thought i wasnt able to go to bed last nite coz i was thinking about how mean i was to my baby boy! But i was wrong! I did fall asleep and slept much better than in previous nites! Will it work again???? Let's see! And also, he woke up in good spirits as well today so i guess no harm was done to him last nite having him scream like that!
