Baby Jayden Enjoys Music

Baby Jayden... For a start, let me tell you how proud I am of you! You had managed the achieved the 1st goal that Aunty Addy and you made. : )

Since your discharged, you had been receiving many guests. Everyone just wanted to have a good look at my darling nephew. :)
Everything about you are so small, your hands, legs, head, body...

It has been more than a week since you discharged. Like all first time parents, your Daddy and Mummy are still learning the rope of looking after you 24/7. It has not been easy for them for the past 1 week. They were kept awake for many nights because you just refused to sleep during the night. Aunty Addy knows it is not easy for you due to the change of environment. Don't worry, okie? Take your time. For you, we will be very patient.

Last Wednesday, I went up to your place to sleepover cos' your Mummy was telling me that you had been awake for 2 - 3 hrs everynght after your feeding. One of the nights, your Daddy and Mummy stayed up from 3 - 6am trying to pacify you back to sleep. You finally slept at 6am but you woke up half an hour later for your next feeding. Your Daddy and Mummy were super lack of sleep but to them you come first. Back to my sleepover at your place... It was a public holiday the next day so I thought I can help your Mummy should you decide not to sleep at night.

On the night that I was there, I was talking to your Mummy when she was feeding you. A thought came to my mind when we were talking about you waking up at night. I told your Mummy that maybe we can try to play some soothing music for you to listen. At that time, we weren't sure if it will work but Aunty Addy was thinking... Why not just try it? You might like it afterall.

I started playing the following 5 pieces of music for you:
1. Canon in D
2. Sundial Dreams
3. Ballade Pour Adeline
4. Theme from "Love Story"
5. Music-Box Tune

To our surprise, you seem to enjoy the music. We decide to play the music repeatedly for you over the night and for the first night since you came back from the hospital, you slept throughout the night except for the regular feeding times. Many times after that night, we will play the music for you when you were crying or grouchy and you will be pacified by the music. I guess babies do like soothing music but I am still quite amazed that the music actually works.

Because you like to listen to music so much, I am going to give my Shuffles to you so that your Mummy can play the music for you throughout the night but before that, I got to ask your Uncle Terence if he is okie to give you the Shuffles cos' I actually passed it to him since I had my iPod Video. I am quite sure though that he will give it up for our dear darling. : )

Your Mummy just told me that you will be coming over to Grandmama's place tomorrow... :D I am going to come home as early as I can after work to see my darling. Miss you already...

P.S. Just remembered a small little t-shirt that Aunty Diana bought for you a while back. Aunt Diana was shopping for Bro Darius and saw the t-shirt just for you. It is such a little cute thing!!
