It is 6am on a Sunday

and today's video is going to be...

(Levi babbling)

- Hiiii~!

Helloooo! (both laughing)

Oh, wow!

Excellent... Wow!

Okay!

(whispering) What's that? What's that?

Good morning!

Okay, so the first thing I do when I get him up

is change his diaper and then I feed him

Okay, now it's time for my coffee

and for that, I go to my new coffee bar in my bathroom

It's the place where all things loud go

So here I have my coffee machine

We have, on this side, the blender

Naptime is sacred in this house

I unplug the phones

Everything loud comes into here

which is the furthest room from Levi's room

and that is just how it's got to be

(rattling coffee pods) Wooooow

Hi! (Levi babbles) Huh?

I drink one cup of coffee a day now

I started, I think about a month and a half after I gave birth

I tried it and it didn't seem to affect Levi, so, yeah

One cup a day works wonderfully for me

It does wonders

So now we usually sit and talk

and have some quiet playtime

So I usually just give him a toy

He loves these right now because he can grab them

so this one and he likes this ball

(Levi babbles) - Yeah!

What do you wanna do today?

Hmmm? Huh? (Levi laughs)

You wanna go outside for a walk?

Yeah, it's a nice day!

Okay, we can do that! (Levi babbling)

Uhhuh? [TOM - Babe]

- Oh, Grandma

Hi! [- Oh, there's a little angel!] - Hi!

[- Hi, there! How are ya?]

(music)

- Let's get changed~ There we go! There we go!

(Levi babbling) - Oh, okay! (more babbling) - Yeah?

These diapers are getting a little bit too small

but I have one pack left so I don't want to waste them

(Levi babbling) - Mmhmm!

You always want to fluff up these points around the legs

because it helps to prevent any leaks

This is very important

(laughing) Okay!

The first thing I do is grab this, it's a gauze

and I use it to brush his teeth

Carol taught me this and I've done it since day one

so that he gets used to brushing his teeth

and it helps to remove any of the milk residue

or any of the bacteria inside of his mouth and tongue

I also have this reusable one

It's just a little bit big

I'm slowly trying to get him used to this and switch from this

But when he was a newborn, I always used this gauze

So I just dip it in the warm water

Okay! Ahhhh~

See, he's very used to it

And I just clean his tongue, his gums, his cheeks

Yeah!

And then I will take a cloth and I'll wipe his face

So I'll use one side to do his eyes

Just get out all the gunk

and then I'll flip to the other side to do half of his face

and we do the chins

(cooing) The beautiful beautiful chins, yes!

and then I'll flip to the other side, do the eye

The other half...

(Levi babbling) Yeah! There we go!

This is the cream I use for him

It's Stelatopia by Mustela

This was developed for babies with eczema

so it's very very good for sensitive skin

and there's no fragrance or anything inside

It makes his skin super soft

Actually I stole some for myself

and that's what I use now on my body and face because...

I don't know, I squish my face against his all the time

Actually, that's not really the reason

I just, I love the smell

It smells like him and it just feels really nice

And if it's good for baby skin, it's gonna be good for our skin

(Levi babbles)

- (laughing) Do I have a baby dino?

Do I have a baby dinosaur?

If you want to see in more detail what I have going on here

I'll link an Instagram video I made below

I think all I added was these changing pads

These I don't change every time I change him

I just throw it away when they get dirty

Are we ready? One, two, three!

And then this pillow

This is to help with flathead

because Levi has a little bit of a flat head going on

It happened at birth

I think getting his head out of me was very difficult

and then it hasn't gotten rounder...

It's slowly getting a little bit rounder

his doctor said there's nothing to worry about

especially when he sits up more and crawls and stuff

It will naturally form

We just have these pillows around

to help with that when he's laying flat

Also I haven't showed you guys his nursery yet

because it's not done

All we have is big furniture everywhere

and I'm still deciding how I want to place it

I rearrange it practically every week

so once I decide that, I'm gonna put the final touches

and like little decor pieces on it and then it will be done

I don't know how that... how long that's gonna take me

but it's on my to do list

and then I will do an official nursery tour

Right now, it's just exactly what he needs

very functional stuff, but it doesn't look pretty

He's up...

22 minutes

Who slept for all of 22 minutes today?!

Huh?! Was it this guy?!

(laughing)

What kind of nap was that?

Do we feel refreshed anyways?

We'll try again later? Yeah?

Oh...

Oh!

Did you have a nice dream?

So Tom's out there playing with him

I'm going to take 15 minutes to get ready

I'm doing my makeup today because I'm shooting some content

I'm going to shoot some other short videos as well as this one

And I always just feel a lot more like myself when I do my makeup

which really goes a long way these days

because I feel like I'm still in the transition period

where I'm a new mother and I'm also me, the past me

So I'm trying to merge those two together

and figure out who this ... who this new Taylor is

that incorporates both

And I just find that doing the things that I loved to do

and still love to do, like my makeup or putting on an outfit

makes me... just makes me feel good and put together

But this isn't the case for every day

Some days are just like a mess and the day just flies by

and I don't even know what happened

I haven't even brushed my teeth, brushed my hair

gotten dressed or anything like that

So I'm going to try and have a very put together day

but just know that it's not the case the majority of the time

There was a quick change because he spit up on himself

a feeding, a pumping session

I got changed

And now I'm gonna put my bun into a more sleek version

My hair is starting to fall out... which isn't alarming me

because I was mentally prepared for it

I knew it was coming and it's not like a lot

It's just... I feel like it's a normal amount

During pregnancy, a lot of people's hair doesn't fall out at all

and that's how it becomes a lot thicker

So I feel like now it's just those hairs that didn't fall out

are all starting to fall out

I don't notice a difference in the thickness yet

Maybe it's still coming

The place I notice it the most is my hairline like look at that

We are ready to go wash some dishes

(Levi babbling)

- Yeah? Can you get it? Can you get it?

Wheeeee!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

That's so good!

(babble) - Yes?

Yes?

I'm struggling with naps right now

He only will take cat naps during the day

like maximum 30 minutes, as you saw, if I put him in his crib

If I hold him, it's like an hour to two hours

His nights are really good, thankfully

So he'll do like 2.5-3 hours max during the day

So we're working on that

We're working on the independent sleeping

We're not there quite yet but, um

It's just fine, it's gonna be fine

Are we matching today?

Sleep, eat, active play, quiet play

diaper changes, burp, rock back to sleep

We repeat like the same six or so things

throughout the entire day, over and over and over again

So what are we going to do now?

Let's listen to your favourite song

It's actually my favourite song to perform

(Frozen's Let It Go playing) The snow glows white on the mountain tonight...

[TOM - Babe!] [ROSIE - Woof]

[ROSIE - (barking)]

Don't let them see, be the good girl you always have to be

Let it go, let it go!

Cold never bothered me anyway...

Oh, huh? Can you see yourself?

It's almost lunchtime

So I'm going to order something

Our go-to lunch is this Japanese bowl

We eat it all the time

They have salmon, beef, pork or chicken

Salmon or chicken?

What do you want to eat? Through breast milk

Chicken?

Chicken? Salmon?

Rosie, you like the chicken?

Okay, sister chose!

Sister chose chicken!

Okay

Oh, that's a good sit!

When his eyebrows get a little bit red

that's a good indication that he's getting tired

Is somebody getting tired?

This is my lunch

I'm gonna add half an avocado on top

It's a chicken bowl

Every day, it's kind of a little bit different with the vegetables

and then there are some Japanese pickles, an onsen egg

And this shop is called KOME Corner

They have locations all around Hong Kong

And then it also comes with a side of miso soup

and just... I love it!

[TOM - Oh my God!]

[Oh!] - (laughing) Is it bad?

[- Euuughhhh, monster poo! Ack! Eck!] - (laughing)

[- He peed!] - On you?

[- A little bit]

- Oh my god, it's on the wall

[- Really] - Yeah [- Oh, my god...]

(Levi whimpering)

- That's okay! That's okay!

We'll clean it up! (Levi babbling)

[- He doesn't know what to do... "What are you guys doing?"]

Right now Levi's wake windows

are usually about an hour and a half

so from the point that he wakes up from the nap

to the point he goes down for his next nap is an hour and a half

We're almost there now

We're pretty exhausted too

So we're all just going to kind of lay down, watch a movie

(music)

We ended up falling asleep

Well, Levi did, I was just laying there

And he slept two hours! So yay!

But I didn't get anything done today that I planned on getting done

I didn't shoot any of my short videos

which has been happening a lot lately

which is why I'm really slow to upload content

but I'm trying to remind myself that it will happen
