Dear Family & Friends,
It has been 2 weeks since we have our new family member, Ethan Samuel Chandra. We must say that it is a great relieve that finally we can stay at home over the weekend, after Ethan was discharged from hospital last Sunday.
The 2nd week has been another learning process for all of us, as well as full of exciting moment. Last Thursday, I woke up at 7:30 and find Baby Ethan already quite alert. Upon looking at my face, Baby Ethan start making some noise to attract my attention. I relent, and cradle him downstairs, where I usually have my breakfast. I must admit that preparing even a simple peanut butter toast was tough with one hand cradling a baby.
I start eating while watching TV, and Baby Ethan, in my cradle, was fixing his eye to my face. Not long until Baby Ethan start “munching”, moving his lips as if he is chewing something in his mouth. Of course, nothing in his mouth, he was just mimic my lip while eating the hard-earned peanut butter toast.
Baby Ethan has also slowly have his own schedule. If on the first week, we have to wake him up for feeding, in the 2nd week Baby Ethan will wake up by himself most of the time for feeding. Well, sometime we did have to wake him up, and he is still as sleepy head as ever. He also less fussy in the evening, and more alert during the day. Speaking of being alert, he is now not only crying when he is awake, but also observing. Probably we the parents have to start to watch our manner in front of him :D.
Baby Ethan would like to announce himself that he is now 2 weeks old, so we attach his picture in this email. It was taken this morning, exactly 10 days of Baby Ethan. From his face, you can tell that we did have a great time, and we certainly wish you a great time as we all prepare for Christmas and New Year.
Sincerely,
Benny – Grace – Ethan
PS: We haven’t have a chance to say thank you to everyone who has come to share our joy in the past 2 weeks, and for the present for Baby Ethan. So, allow us to say A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE
