Adventure at Home Base 2

Luther is always cared by me assisted by my mom and occasionally my hubby. Things were a bit easier and taking care of him was not much of a trouble. 

Grandma (my mom) needed to attend my cousin's wedding up north for 4 days. This is the start of our little adventure. Taking care of Luther the whole 4 days all on our own without any experience 'professional'.

It's morning already, papa!

Day 1 (Friday)

We got home at HB2 at about lunch and everything was going great. We were home getting comfortable and papa got mommy some lunch. Luther got to enjoy the stroller turn rocking cradle in the living room. The night was also good with Luther going to bed and only waking for feeding. 

Day 2 ( Saturday)

Luther woke up feeling a little grumpy but all is good until later that day. He started to be very attached to us. Practically want to be carried all the time. Move a little and he will cry. Hold him in a wrong position, he will also cry. Want to sleep, also cry. Want to eat, also cry. He was a cry baby literally that day. That night was bad too. We were carrying him most of the time to sleep because putting him down on his bed will will start his crying within minutes. We even tried changing hands whenever he cry to get to the right carrying position that will sooth him.

Day 3 (Sunday)

Luther woke up feeling a little better with mommy and daddy looking almost like zombies. However,as long as Luther is happy (or shall I say happier), we are all good. The day went by as usual and we found out something interesting. We got to 'know' Patricia Dunsten. She who believe that baby have 5 words that describes what they want. (Source: http://www.dunstanbaby.com/cms/index.php?page=nz-home). Amazing how it really works 90% of the time. Of course there is the remaining 10% where Luther was blabbing the same word for different purpose.... probably trying to confuse the mommy and papa... We were both experimenting the 5 words and laughing to ourselves. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop Luther from turning us to zombies 1 more time. 

Colic? Maybe.... Perseverance? Definitely.... Rewarding? Absolutely....

Day 4 (Monday)

Papa make me say, "Luther love Ah Ma"

It's the final day of our adventure. Luther slept through the whole morning after his feed and bath. Only active before that and my hubby was playing with him. Luther was definitely feeling all better and playful. How I love the look on my hubby's face and Luther's face when both were playing. It's a memory to keep and only me to enjoy that captured moment. Blissful........

Luther Grandma came to pick us up in the evening and she misses Luther so much that she carried him from me almost immediately. So sweet......

Well, mommy and papa made it without any help. We made it taking care of little Luther, although, it was tiring without help of a 'professional' mother... Nonetheless, every baby has their own style and taking care of them required imagination and experience.

What an adventure!
