First of all, THANKS HEAPS to those of you that recommended all those iPhone apps yesterday – you guys are brilliant! I’ll be downloading ’em and checking it all out for sure 🙂 Idiot me actually nearly lost my brand new iPhone today.. was out shopping with a visiting girl friend and left it behind at one of the shops. Discovered it about 20 mins later and we rushed back, and thankfully it was still sitting there waiting for me! Thank goodness there were no kleptos around…
I’m relieved that since arriving in Singapore, Hunter’s night time sleeps have been really good (ie. solid) and he’s taken to our epic outings (we leave in the morning and come home for his bedtime) really well. WHEW!!! I guess he has no choice since we like to drag him all around town with us, rain hail or shine 😛 He actually enjoys being out more than he does staying home, I guess he takes after me. Except for today when we went out to ION Orchard and drove everyone insane at Marmalade Pantry with his incessant fussing/crying for about 1 hour (!!!). First time in his life he’s fussed outdoors like this, and figures it’s when I’m alone out with him (if Chris had been there I can hand him over, as Chris is infinitely more patient). I have no idea why he was like that. Bloody hell. But then he ended up conking off for a (random) nap and napped for almost 2 hours! Does anyone’s babies suddenly fuss when they’re out? And WHY do they do that? What do they want?? I really hope there’s no more repeat of today’s behaviour, I’m not prepared to deal with that out in public :X
One thing that I was a bit of a nervous wreck about was his Baptism ceremony, held a mere 24 hours (!!!) after we landed in Singapore. We braced for the worst – a screaming baby in the (quiet) Church. To my relief, he was awake and happy through the first-half of the service, and didn’t flinch when Pastor put water on his head.. then fell asleep for the second-half of the service. Thank you Lord! He was very nice to Hunter that day 🙂 I’m very grateful, as I’d have had no idea what to do if we were standing up in front of everyone and Hunter was screaming his head off :X
His Baptism was particularly special to us as the Pastor that baptised him is the same one that baptised me and also married Chris and I 🙂
At church
Thank the Lord he was very cheery during the church service, and fell asleep mid-way!
What concentration

Happily cuddled up on his Dad

Hey Bev
It was great meeting up with you and Hunter at ION Orchard. Honestly, I didn’t feel that Hunter fussed a lot. And I felt that you managed to calm him down pretty well. So yeah, don’t be so hard on yourself, you did just great! Will post the photos that we took together soon….. as soon as I get back down to a regular routine in Germany!
It was lovely to have lunch with you too! Hunter was pretty grumpy, he usually laughs and is cheery, but has been rather grumpy the past few days… argh! \
Can’t wait to see pics 🙂

My son loved going out everywhere until suddenly around 4 months old he started screaming everytime we went into a shopping centre. He had been into the same exact shopping centre countless times before and he was fine. After that he started screaming in restaurants as well so that was pretty much the end of our outings until he was older…..around 8-9 months old he was fine again. Don’t know why. Maybe it was just a stage he was going through.
oh weird!! I wonder why he was like that.. if only babies could talk 😛
he’s a boy, doesn’t like shopping hehehe!
Good he did that at the shopping centre rather than at the church!
Yeah, quite random, they can be good sometimes and less happy other times, good think is that overall Hunter seems adorable!
Congratz on his Baptism!
Kisses from the Weber!
Oh true hahaha. But yes, thankfully he was well behaved at Church – whewwww
You guys in SG anytime? Miss you!

You can tell that Chris’ dad really enjoy playing with his grandson in the last pic uh? -)
Yes, he was delighted with Hunter 🙂 Shame he was here for just a few days!

my friend’s baby is incredible fussy, and will cry for no reason other than to cry. She doesn’t want her bottle, she doesn’t want to be changed or be held, or anything, she just wants to sit there and cry, scream rather. Some babies are just like that….
I wish babies could talk and just TELL us what they want! It’s tough to figure it out when you’re frazzled with all their fussing.. argh
awwww.. what a special and beautiful moment! congrats! 🙂
btw, hunter looks sooo ‘pretty’ in the pic where he is happily cuddled up on chris hahaha… 😀
Hehe he does look a bit like a girl in that pic!
It’s so nice and meaningful that the same pastor who baptised and married you could baptise Hunter!
My friend has an even more intense pastor tradition. Her husband’s family’s pastor is also an O&G doctor, so he (1) was the pastor who married her husband’s parents, (2) was the doctor who delivered her husband, and (3) married her and her husband…
Wow that is impressive and so lovely!

hunter is really taking after chris and his dad. he’s getting chubbier and cuter too! 🙂
Yeah he has strong Burgess genes!
Its amazing that you manage to take Hunter out for entire days without him fussing much! Its amazing even to know that today is the first time he fusses outdoor! It seems he is just overtired or overstimulated since he conked out 2 hours after that! He probably just need to shut down and sleep but has difficulties sleeping, thus the fussing. You can try covering him up with a blanket the way you did in church that day to reduce stimulation. Isy does that all the time (less so if he is in my MIM sling) and I have gotten used to stares from people thinking that I am a horrible mommy for causing my baby to cry and cry!
He is really a very easy going baby! Hardly heard him wail or cry! But trust me we’ve seen many babies wailing/crying/spitting/blowing bubbles while being baptized. LOL!
I love the first pic btw! So natural!
I was really miffed about his weird fussiness @ ION today… had no idea what to do! And it was super irritating :X Total opposite of his good behaviour at Church when you saw him on Sunday, lol…
