Hi my name is Gabriel and I am 8 weeks old

Hi everyone, my name is Gabriel and I am 8 weeks old.  Well to be precise I'm 9 weeks old by the time mummy penned this post ;) In the first 6 weeks of my life, I had auntie with me and I was in a pair of good hands.  She called me didi (younger brother) affectionately, and I often had cuddles and kisses from her.  Mummy was recovering from her c-section wound, and so my primary caregiver was auntie.  I heard it was during the holiday season when I arrived, so daddy's workplace was quiet.  He still went in to work though, but took a week off to bring my jiejie (older sis) out to play.  In the first weeks, I slept a lot.  As with most newborns.  However in week 3, I started to fuss a bit more and refused to cooperate as much in terms of sleeping.  Mummy and auntie then decided to let me sleep in a prone position, after assessing my neck muscles and deciding it was safe to do so under supervision. My birth weight was 3.9kg as you probably know, so yes I am a chunky baby!

Hello, yes we are still around! Mummy just needs to find time to blog.

I've been meaning to blog for ages but I just can't seem to find the time as you can understand.  Life has been a blur with serious sleep deprivation.  We had a confinement nanny to help us out in the first couple of weeks which has been an immense help.  Now that she's left, we are left to our own devices lol but yes I'll try my best to keep this blog going! For now a few photos to share to tell our progress thus far: Our first family photo.  Smile Izzy! Gabriel at one week old Gabriel at 10 days old.  Our little burrito.
