Little Karl

Yesterday, Mom decided to enter me in some baby contest. She said, it does not matter whether I win or lose as long as I have tried. It’s true, you will never know the taste of the pudding unless you take a bite. Good thing I’ve learned this first-hand from my Mom. It makes me brave enough to try many things — like the one shown in the picture where I made my initial attempt to crawl.

Anyway, wish me luck!

The weather is sooooooo cold now. I guess the temperature’s been hitting zero degree (or below) especially at night. Since I am just a baby, it is very important to keep me in a normal room temperature all the times since my body can not endure yet too much cold/heat.

Here’s some neat tips to follow to keep us warm during very cold weather:

1. Prepare winter clothes such as long-sleeved shirt, long pants or pajama, jacket or coat, hat or bonnet, socks & shoes, and mittens, among others.
2. Wear winter clothes on top of the usual undies. Add another layer of clothes as the temperature gets colder.
3. Cover the head with a bonnet or hat since this is the single most exposed part of the babies body and heat quickly escapes from it.
4. Protect the feet with socks and shoes, and the hands by mittens.
5. Always have a swaddling blanket available in case of too much cold and from which the clothes are not enough.
6. Always have a vapor ointment available, but ask first your pediatrician for proper usage and further instructions. Some doctors do not advice applying ointment on babies’ body.
7. Check baby from time to time. Remove extra clothes if the temperature’s gets higher to avoid overheating.
