安步的滋味

今天安步跟我一起update網誌，邊聽Dick Hyman在NPR的爵士鋼琴演奏 。
這禮拜因為有幾天很熱，安步每天都香汗淋漓，所以即興做了打油詩，也許以後可以編成一首rap

安步是黏黏的
安步是鹹鹹的
安步是甜甜的
安步是Sebastienne塞巴斯田

給我「臭男生」!

上個星期安步每天活動力跟活動量都超好，連喝個奶都汗流浹背，滿頭大汗，一天得洗兩次澡。餵奶時我常會把鼻子湊到他因為濕透而服貼的到頭皮的稀疏頭髮，有些開心又害怕的聞著他的味道，是種乳香加香汗的安步調味乳，開心他的vitality，想到還沒到夏天就一天要洗兩次澡，又有點小害怕將來家裡應該就會有個靜不下來，充滿汗臭為的「臭男生」。

但到了週五清晨三點，安步突然發燒了，一量就39.9度，小人兒開始因不舒服而發出呻吟聲，吃了退燒糖漿anti-phen，但並沒有退到37度半以下，接下就是處於退了又燒，燒了又退的反覆狀態，吃奶也是哭哭啼啼的，整晚比大人睡得還差，跟上回發燒不同的是，上次半夜發燒大概三個小時內，流流汗，就退了。隔天我帶他去看醫生，但需要再觀察才知道是感冒、腸胃炎、腸病毒、玫瑰疹，還是什麼。第二天，依然在發燒，初步排除感冒與腸胃炎，但安步睡也睡不著，玩也玩不開，吃也吃不好，偶爾肯賞臉吃個蘋果泥跟西洋梨泥，與奶瓶結仇似的管妳裝的是配方奶還是人奶，一看到奶瓶就把頭撇開，晚上睡覺時間更是變本加厲，一看到我的乳頭就給我狠狠的咬下去，我跟大尾都覺得他應該累斃了，但怎麼樣就是不睡，眼看著我們安撫的終極絕招都不管用（因為我真的開始害怕將乳頭伸到他嘴裡），再這樣三個人都不用睡了，疲憊的大尾要我先睡，他用背帶背了安步，走來走去，後來，不到兩分鐘小傢伙就睡著了。

第三天，不燒了，步仔開始恢復笑臉，乖乖的吸允，看著閃閃的汗珠在他喝奶時從臉上、鼻頭、頭皮上冒出，我很開心，還是給我「臭男生」好。

Flexin' Muscles

Everyday in the past week, I longed to update this blog so that I could promptly document the way Sebastian has changed and grown. But every night in the past week, I found myself falling asleep by 9:30pm, whether breastfeeding, reading, watching TV, or internet browsing. I kept the draft page window open on my computer so that I'll remember to post something.

Of course, Sebastian is growing by the minute. But he seems to be able to do more with his muscles lately. He is blowing raspberries when Da-wei and I feed him. He is rolling, more often from back to tummy than the other way around. He now splits his legs like Jean-Claude Van Damme when we hold him upright. He can move his body across a good distance on the floor just by pushing. When laying flat, he now bends his knees and places his feet firmly on the same surface. When waiting to be bathed, he puts one hand near his chest and extends the other hand outward like a princely figure skater (Brian Boitano comes to mind).

These small things he does somehow make me smile. So does this Fu Manchu-like picture taken in the middle of a meal.
