O just left on a 4 day work trip to Kuching and I have J all to myself. I have to admit I am glad that the first day is finally over. No doubt J is relatively easy to manage and takes little to keep him occupied. But still babies all need attention. Lots of it. The moment he notices that have I stepped out of sight, the squeal comes shooting out of his tiny mouth. I guess 9 month-old babies still aren't totally absorbed with their toys yet.
I brought J swimming in the afternoon after his afternoon nap. He was looked rather apprehensive as he dipped his legs into the shallow pool, probably because it was still feeling cold from the early afternoon shower. But as soon as he start splashing his chubby hands in the water, he really took to the pool. He played around for a bit in the yellow float that his grand aunty bought, then I took him out and he was floating and kicking around for 20mins in the pool. The only thing that put him off was the water fountain in the middle of the pool. I think J got really frightened by the splashes when he was under it.
Early last week, I persuaded O to introduce a bedtime routine for J. After a warm bath, we would put him in his dimly light room and read a story to him. With soft music playing in the background, J would start yawning and cuddling up within 30mins and before you know it, he is out like a light. How glad I am today for this bedtime routine!
