Jeremiah is finally sleeping through the night now without asking for milk at night BUT he has developed another sleep disruption habit.
He seems to have a very punctual body clock which goes off at 5am which triggers him to wake up and look for me. If I do not attend to him, he will sit there and scream the whole house down. If I go over and coax him, he would want me to CARRY HIM AND SLEEP, as if I am nursing him!!
Last night, it irritated me terribly, he still refused to sleep on his own after carrying him for half an hour. So I just let him cry it out. And cry he did! He screamed, shouted, yelled, hollered at the break of dawn for half an hour. When he realised no one is coming to his aid afterall, he shut his mouth and laid down to sleep on his own. I was relieved the torture was only 30 mins but I am sure my neighbours were cursing me for waking them up at that unearthly hour.
I plan to do this again to help Jeremiah kick this bad habit, hope it does not take too long.

March Events
It has been such an eventful March for us, many things happened and some have probably already slipped my mind ...
1. Jeremiah has finally started teething with 4 teeth at one go, there were a couple of nights in a row where he woke up every hour. It was the ultimate test of endurance for me. Fortunately my mum came over this month to lend me a hand and I could catch some sleep during the day when Sofia napped.
Despite all the night wakings, the boy was still his usual cheerful and energetic self. Jeremiah was also down with a chesty cough and cold for 2 weeks and after it was all gone and done, the finale came with a fever and skin rash. During this period, he broke his own record with a record 5-hour morning nap. We were so very worried if he was alright cos he has never took a nap this long! After the nap, we were all relieved to see him playing and eating again, phew!
2. Daddy has been travelling a lot again so my "single-mum" days are back again. Sofia misses Daddy a lot when he is away, she will always ask me "Where is Daddy?" and "Let's pick up Daddy from the office?". So when her hero is back she will be all over him, tailing him wherever he goes.
Daddy will try to come back with presents for her and here, she was trying to cover Daddy with her new clothes.
3. Sofia and Jeremiah loves to bang on the piano together. I don't know how my neighbours take it, they are probably very disturbed by the noise pollution we create day and night. Sofia loves to sing and dance too and the best part is Jeremiah loves to join in. He would stand, hold on to something and sway with the music, or sometimes, he would go "WAH BAH BAH BAH BAH! MAH MAH HOO!" , which makes everyone laugh!
4. We celebrated Daddy's birthday as well with Jeremiah in the picture now. When Sofia saw the cake delivered to our house, she was so excited over the birthday celebration that she kept singing the happy birthday song over and over again! Of course she could not wait too, kept asking me to take the cake out and cut it, arrrghhhh!!
5. I also came to know my good friend, R, is going back home for good mid-April. It came very sudden due to family reason and everyone has little time to react. We will spend some time catching up before the whole family moves, hope we will meet again soon.
