Jaezen's Development Update (2 Months Old)

Update sa Pag-unlad ni Jaezen (2 Buwan na)

Kamusta sa lahat! Narito ang isang mabilis na update sa aming munting lalaki, si Jaezen, na ngayon ay 2 buwan na!

• Kampeon sa Pagkain: Mas masipag nang kumain si Jaezen lately! Mukhang tapos na ang kanyang fussy phase. Tuwang-tuwa rin kami na nawawala na ang kanyang mga gas.
• Magandang Natutulog (Walang Pasifier): Napansin namin na mas mahusay matulog si Jaezen sa kanyang tagiliran at nang walang pasifier. Natututo na rin siyang patahanin ang sarili niya sa pamamagitan ng pagsuso sa kanyang mga kamay o braso bago matulog. Medyo naging mahirap ngayon dahil ayaw niya ang pasifier, pero nakatulong naman ang paglalaro at Baby Einstein!
• Lumalakas: Napakabilis lumaki ng munting lalaking ito! Sinubukan pa niyang tumayo ngayon with a little help from me and his sister. Malakas talaga siya!

Napakasaya namin sa lahat ng progreso ni Jaezen, at hindi namin mahintay na makita kung ano pa ang matututuhan niya!

Jaezen's Development Update (2 Months Old)

Hi everyone! Here's a quick update on our little guy, Jaezen, who is now 2 months old!

• Feeding Champion: Jaezen has been eating much better lately! It seems his fussy phase might be over. We're also happy to see his gas issues lessening.
• Sleeping Beauty (Without a Pacifier): We noticed Jaezen sleeps better on his side and without a pacifier. He's even learning to self-soothe by sucking on his hands or arms before falling asleep. Today was a bit tricky because he refused the pacifier, but some playtime and Baby Einstein did the trick!
• Growing Strong: This little man is growing so fast! He even tried to stand today with a little help from me and his sister. He's definitely a strong boy!

We're so proud of all Jaezen's progress, and we can't wait to see what he learns next!

Happy 2 Months, JC!

 

Nagiging madaldal na si Jaezen! Napakapractice niya sa pagsasalita nitong mga nakaraan. Nag-usap kami kanina at nag-enjoy siya. Masaya din siya sa kanyang bath time at mahilig talaga siya kapag sinusuklayan ang kanyang buhok. Nagbasa din kami ng konti tungkol sa kung paano nagiging puno ang isang buto, pero nabagot siya bago matapos at ipinaalam niya sa akin sa pamamagitan ng malakas na pag-iyak! Haha! Pauwi na, dumaan kami sa donut shop para bumili ng donuts bilang selebrasyon ng kanyang ika-2 buwan. Marami na siyang natutunan nitong nakaraang dalawang buwan at excited kami na makita ang lahat ng mga kamangha-manghang bagay na matututunan niya!

Celebrating Jaezen

Jaezen is turning into a little chatterbox! He's been practicing his talking skills so much lately. We had a lovely time chatting earlier. Bath time was also a hit, and he loves getting his hair brushed. We even did a bit of reading about how seeds grow into trees, but he got bored towards the end and definitely let me know about it with some good, loud yells! Haha! On our way home, we stopped to pick up some donuts to celebrate his 2nd month. He's done a lot of growing up these last 2 months and we are so excited to see all the amazing things he'll learn!

Jaezen's a Good Boy Update

 

Update kay Jaezen - Napakabait na Bata Napakabait ni Jaezen ngayon! Maganda ang naging pagpapakain sa kanya at kahit medyo may kabag pa rin, marami siyang pinakawalang hangin! Medyo grumpy siya kapag pinapatigil ko siya para mag-burp 😂, pero alam kong makakabuti ito para sa tiyan niya. Napakabait din ni Jaezen habang nasa doctor's appointment ako. Nakikinig at nagmamasid lang siya, at minsan sumasagot siya sa doktor para sa akin. Pero kadalasan, gusto niya lang na karga ko siya para mayakap niya ako.

Jaezen's a Good Boy Update What a good day with Jaezen! His feeding went so smoothly, and while he's still a little gassy, we got lots of burps and farts out – much better than before! He was a bit grumpy when I paused the feeding for burps 😂, but I know this helps his tummy. Jaezen was also an angel during my doctor's appointment! He just watched and listened, occasionally "talking" to the doctor for me. Although, he mostly just wanted mommy cuddles.

Jaezen's Tummy Troubles

 

Masakit ang Tiyan ni Jaezen: Mukhang mas maayos ang tulog ni Jaezen ngayon, pero sa tingin ko ay sumasakit ang kanyang tiyan😣 Ang kutob ko ay sobra siya sa pagkain kapag inaantok. Dahil dito, masyadong napupuno ang tiyan niya, nalilikha ang hangin sa tiyan, at lalo siyang nagiging antukin! Para makatulong ngayon, dahan-dahan ko siyang pinakain – mga 4 ounces, at humihinto kada 5 minuto para padighayin siya. Halata ko na nahihirapan talaga siyang ilabas ang mga utot, umiiyak at sumisigaw, pero kapag nakaka-utot na siya ay humihinga siya ng maluwag at nagiging antok ulit hanggang sa kailangan na naman niyang umutot. Ginawa ko rin ang pagmasahe sa tiyan, paghaplos sa likod, at ang paggalaw ng kanyang mga paa na parang nagbibisikleta para mailabas niya ang hangin. Sa pangkalahatan, mas mabilis siyang nakatulog ngayon, madalas lang nagigising para umutot o mag-burp.

Paalala para kina Mommy at Daddy: Ngayong gabi, pakainin siya tulad ng normal na ginagawa niyo at ipaalam sa akin kung bumubuti o lumalala ang pagiging magasin niya. Bukas, susubukan natin muli ang dahan-dahang pagpapakain at tingnan kung kaya na niyang kumain ng mas marami.

Jaezen's Tummy Troubles:  Jaezen's sleep has improved today, but I think he's been struggling with a tummy ache 😣 My theory is that he gets a little overzealous with his eating when he's sleepy. This leads to a too-full tummy, which makes him gassy, and then even sleepier! To help today, I fed him slowly – about 4 ounces with breaks every 5 minutes or so for burping. I could tell he was really struggling to push out the farts, crying and screaming, but as soon as he farted he relaxed and started to fall asleep again until he had to fart again. I also tried tummy massages, back rubs, and the bicycle leg motion to help him pass the gas. Overall, he fell asleep faster than usual, mostly waking up just to fart or burp.

Note to Mommy and Daddy: Tonight, feed him as you normally do and let me know if his gassiness increases or decreases. Tomorrow, we'll try slow feeding again and see if he can handle a bit more to eat.

A Sleepy and Chatty Day

 

Antok at Madaldal na Araw

Hindi masyadong kumain si Jaezen ngayon, mga 5oz lang hindi tulad ng dati. Pero, bumawi naman siya sa tulog! Isang sobrang habang tulog, halos 2 oras, at isa pang halos isang oras. Habang sinusulat ko ito, natutulog na naman siya, mahigit isang oras na, pero sa tingin ko ay magigising din siya maya-maya. Kanina habang nagpapakain, humihinto si Jaezen para mag-burp, at marami siyang nailuwa, pero tila gumaan ang pakiramdam niya pagkatapos. Sa tingin ko ay nag-aadjust pa rin siya sa formula. Sobrang daldal at masaya naman si Jaezen ngayon! 😁 Nagiging palamasid na siya araw-araw. Pinakamasayang nangyari: Nakatulog siya habang karga ko, at tulog parin kahit binuhat siya ng daddy niya at sinakay sa car seat!

A Sleepy and Chatty Day

Jaezen didn't have a big appetite today, only eating about 5oz compared to his usual amount. However, he made up for it with lots of sleep! He took one super long, almost 2-hour nap and another for about an hour. As I write this, he's napping again, already going strong for an hour, but I think he might wake up soon. He kept pausing to burp during today's feeding, which led to some spit-up, but he seemed a lot more comfortable afterward. I think he's still adjusting to formula feeding. In other news, Jaezen was extra chatty and smiley today! 😁 He's becoming so much more observant. Best moment: He fell asleep in my arms and stayed asleep even when his dad picked him up and buckled him into his car seat!

Short Naps and Little Adventures

Maikling Tulog at Maliliit na Pakikipagsapalaran

Medyo magulo ang tulog ni Jaezen ngayon - puro maiikling 5-10 minutong pagtulog, siguro mga 2 oras lahat. Alam ko nag-aalala sina mommy at daddy tungkol sa tulog niya, pero wag masyado mag-alala sa kalidad muna. Ang pinakaimportante para sa paglaki niya ay makatulog siya, kahit hindi gaanong mahimbing. Nagkaroon kami ng kaunting pakikipagsapalaran ngayon, tinulungan namin ang pinsan ni Jaezen sa isang appointment. Gaya ng dati, napakabait niyang bata, natulog siya sa halos buong appointment sa kanyang car seat – may kasamang ilang mababahong utot! Akala ko siguradong nadumi siya, pero pagkapalit ng diaper, maling alarma lang pala... hanggang sa dumating si mommy at nagsimula ang gulo! Hahaha.

Short Naps and Little Adventures

Jaezen's naps were a bit chaotic today – lots of short 5-10 minute bursts, adding up to about 2 hours total. I know mom and dad worry about his sleep, but don't stress too much about the quality just yet. The most important thing for his growth is that he gets some sleep, even if it's not the deepest. Today, we had a little adventure helping Jaezen's cousin with an appointment. He was such a good boy, as usual, sleeping through most of it in his car seat – along with a few extra smelly farts! I thought for sure he'd pooped, but his diaper change proved it was a false alarm... that is, until mommy arrived and things got messy! Hahaha.

A Trooper Among the Chaos

 

Matibay sa Gitna ng Kaguluhan

Napakabait ni Jaezen ngayon kahit na ang ingay-ingay ng mga bata sa bahay! Hirap pa rin siyang matulog, pero sana ay magkaroon kami ng routine at masanay na siyang matulog dito 🙏. Kung hindi, may iba pang paraan na pwede nating subukan. Lumalaki na talaga ang gana niya sa pagkain– mga 9-10 oz ang nainom niya ngayon, 3 oz dito ay breastmilk 😁. Bago siya sunduin ng daddy niya, grabe ang pagdumi niya!💩 Tapos, bago siya umalis, sa tingin ko ay nadumi ulit siya... o baka mga sobrang lakas na utot lang 'yun 😂. Dahil halo na ang pagpapakain sa kanya, magbabago ang kulay at amoy ng dumi niya. Noong isang araw, medyo berde ang kulay, kaya walang dapat ipag-alala 😊.

A Trooper Among the Chaos

Jaezen was a champ today, even with all the noisy boys at my house! His sleep is still a struggle, but hopefully, we'll get a routine going and he'll adjust to napping here soon 🙏. If not, there are other things we can try. His appetite is definitely growing – he ate about 9-10 oz today, with 3 oz being breastmilk 😁. Right before his daddy picked him up, we had a major poo-plosion! 💩 Then, just as he was about to leave, I think he pooped again... or maybe those were just some very impressive farts 😂. With mixed feeding, his poops are going to change colors and become smellier. The other day it was a bit green, so no worries there 😊.

Sleepy Day and Growing Fast

Antok na Antok Pero Hirap Matulog

Sobrang antok si JC ngayon pero hirap siyang makatulog at manatiling tulog 😔. Buti na lang at nakaidlip siya ng mahigit isang oras. Sa tingin ko ay mahimbing ang tulog niya mamaya ❤️. Hula ko ay namimiss lang niya ang kanyang mommy 🥰. Ngayon ay nasa kuna niya siya, masayang nagkukwento at sinasabi sa akin ang kanyang mga plano ngayong weekend 😁. Maganda ang naging unang linggo ko sa pag-aalaga kay Jaezen – talagang isang tagumpay! At dahil mabilis lumaki, sinubukan ko ang size 2 Huggies, pero hindi na kasya! May pulang marka rin siya sa braso. Akala ko ay bungang-araw dahil sa pagkakahiga, pero tama ang mommy niya – galing ito sa pagsuso ng kanyang braso imbes na sa pacifier!

Sleepy Day and Growing Fast

JC was extra sleepy today but had a tough time falling and staying asleep 😔. Thankfully, he finally managed a good nap for over an hour. I think he'll sleep like a champ tonight ❤️. My guess is he just missed his mommy 🥰. Right now, he's in his crib, happily chatting away and telling me all his big weekend plans 😁. Overall, this has been a fantastic first week taking care of Jaezen – definitely a success! Speaking of growing fast, I tried size 2 Huggies, but they're already too small! He also had a red mark on his arm. I thought it might be a heat rash, but his mommy was right – it's from sucking on his arm instead of the pacifier!

Bath Time Breakthrough!

 Tagumpay sa Oras ng Paliligo!

Sa wakas ay nagkaroon kami ng tagumpay sa oras ng paliligo ni JC ngayon! Umiiyak siya dati tuwing nadadampi siya ng tubig, kaya naisip ko ang mga paraan para maging mas masaya ito para sa kanya. Ngayon, tinitiyak ko na ang tubig ay nasa tamang temperatura at dami – sinusubukan ko muna ito bago ko siya ilagay, at inaayos kung magsisimula siyang umiyak. Hindi kataka-taka na ayaw niyang mapunta ang tubig sa kanyang mga mata, pero gusto niya ang pagrelaks at paglangoy sa kanyang maliit na bath net, at masaya siya sa pakiramdam ng pagbuhos ng tubig sa kanya. Ang paghuhugas ng buhok niya ay isang challenge pa rin, pero naniniwala ako na sa patuloy na routine ng paliligo, matututunan niya ring mag-enjoy sa lahat ng ito sa lalong madaling panahon!

Bath Time Breakthrough!

We finally had a breakthrough with bath time today! JC used to cry every time the water touched him, so I've been brainstorming ways to make it more fun. Now, I make sure the water is just the right temperature and amount – I test it myself before putting him in, and adjust if he starts to fuss. It's no surprise that he doesn't like water in his eyes, but he does enjoy chilling and floating in his little bath net, and he loves the feeling of the water pouring over him. Washing his hair is still a work in progress, but I'm confident that with consistent bath routines, he'll learn to enjoy all of it soon!
