Alfee does not have many first hand possession although we have been splurging a little on clothes. Besides necessities, we hardly buy anything for the little fella. That makes me feel a little guilty. After all, we are still buying his sister lots of toys, books and whatever she wants. However, this has hardly dampened his spirits and determination to make his mark in our hearts. He seems to have quite remarkably won all of us over with his coy smile, friendly disposition and adorable antics. I must say, he is not a cute and handsome baby from start. Yet, he compensates that with his quite unique personality.
Unlike his sister, Alfee has been on breast milk since day one. Tis a blessing because I could not produce enough milk for Sophie then. With the help of the hospital staff, my gynecologist and motilium, I am able to feed him until today. I am not sure how long I can sustain breastfeeding, but I will try my best. I have not got used to breastfeeding him in public yet although I do it every weekend. It does not help at all that he drinks like a monster. He snorts, grunts and moans. He struggles to find a comfortable position and also hammers, kicks and cries when he is unhappy about the flow. At three months, he has learnt to bite me just to get me to look at him during breastfeeding. He would then give me a smile and resume his feeding.
I never thought I could possibly love another baby, but apparently it was not too difficult. In fact, Alfee is much more manageable compared to Sophie when she was little. Hope he stays this way...
