Caleb first kite flying experience

2010-02-06T23:39:00.002+08:00

Good wind and good tutor (aka Daddy) made his first solo kite flying a piece of cake. Actually he did better than some other people. : )

This is the way we brush our teeth.....

2009-11-25T22:50:00.002+08:00

Some months ago, Caleb's teeth were found to have black stains on them (like that of a smoker's) and he was brought to the dentist at KKH. Dentist said it is nothing to be worried about, just some oral bacteria reaction which discolorize the teeth. Caleb's teeth was polished and mummy was surprised the 2 1/2yr old was not afraid! He was lying on mummy on the dentist chair and seemed to enjoy the cleansing and polishing.

Dentist suggested for Caleb to use toothpaste with slight floride but said discolorization may come back. This problem will go away as the child grows.

Since then, Daddy has been wanting to get Caleb a POWERFUL toothbrush, although that may or may not help with his teeth condition and finally, toothbrush is here!!

But mummy will still get the boy to learn how to brush teeth with a normal 'manual' toothbrush.

Mummy is down with runny nose and sore throat.

Caleb's nose is bad. like a running tap. Has mild temperature so mum suspects he has sore throat as well.

Caden seems to be recovering from runny nose but occasionally still see his nose wet and choked.

The cheer is returning

2009-11-25T22:30:00.004+08:00

Caden has more smiles today and his playful self is returning. Still not as bubbly as before ops but daddy mummy are confident things should be back to normal very soon.

O, during examination of his palate yesterday, we found that his top tooth is popping! Perhaps *sing* all he wants for christmas is his two front teeth...! ;p

One week after Palate repair ops

2009-11-24T22:21:00.003+08:00

Had a review with the plastic surgeon and the team of nurses today, all are well with palate, thank God! Stictches behind are slightly dirty but not too big a concern, just need to take note on flushing, mummy got tips from nurses today. Will have another review with surgeon in 3 weeks but next week going back clinic to let nurses check on wound cleanliness.

Caden took 300ml in one of his feeds today, boy, he must be farmished! The rest of the feeds avgs at 200ml. He is still on diluted milk, that is, 75% concentration from the norm. It is ok for him to be on full feed but cleansing must be very thorough as the thicker the milk, the more residue on stitches.

Thankful and appreciative for Caleb who is very sensible and understanding during this period of time. Mummy will try to spend more time with Caleb so he may be stimulated more for his learning development.

After Ops Day 6

2009-11-24T00:03:00.003+08:00

Today, Caden manged to take all feeds without aid. He was sucking from normal bottles. On average, he was taking about 200ml of diluted milk/juice per feed. Mummy is elated with his progress!

He will be at the clinic for 1 week post ops review on Tuesday. Hope all will be well.

The not so good update for the day is, he is having runny nose, all choked up. Given him a dose of med and saline nose drop.

Thanks to all prayer warriors out there who have been keeping Caden in prayer and cheers to the little fighter!

After Ops Day 5: Breakthrough

2009-11-22T23:03:00.002+08:00

A breakthrough at last....Praise God! Caden's taking fluid from squeezable bottle finally!

Today, Caden's feeding got worse. Before 630pm, he only consumed a total of 180ml of fluid and those are by force. Each feeding was like a war, with 3 people coordinating and strategizing on how to pin down the crying baby, get ready syringes of milk fast enough to minimize break of feeding momentum and one for feeding. By the end of each feed, all were exhausted and Caden will head straight back to bed after having just gotten up before milk feed.

Everyone was very worried because Caden was very letargic, sleeps a lot, which is unusual of the baby. No wet diaper and the very one time he urinated, urine has a very strong smell - concentrated due to lack of fluid. These are some signs of dehydration although there are many other signs not displayed. Caden was not dehydrated but if this continues, he may, that was why force feed was given.

Mummy decided to let him play with bottle teat (without bottle attached) again at 6ish pm, hoping that he will get familiar with it once again and surprisingly he started playing with it with his tongue and chewed from left to right. This means his palate is not so painful after all! Slowly, mum slipped the squeezable bottle in (attached with another similar teat) and he started chopping on it. mum assisted by squeezing on the bottle for greater milk flow before the little guy got irritated as his suction is not so strong at the moment. About 140ml of milk/juice mixture was consumed in about 10mins, good job!! Another 160ml was taken at about 9pm. So today, his total fluid intake was about 480ml, woohooo.....!!!

Prayer request:
- Caleb is having slight runny nose. Please pray for recovery and no passing this on to others in the house.
- Caden is quite chesty after feed and nose sounds congested. As there is still gap between palate and nasal bone (temporary), some fluid may have gone up the channel. Please pray fluid will not get into ears.
- Please pray that Caden will continue with his feeding well.

After Ops Day 4

2009-11-22T02:32:00.015+08:00

Milk, Juice or Mix of both? What does Caden really wants?

Mummy at wits end so all fluids were prepared at different temperature to see what the little gem preferred but seemed he wanted none although his hunger was obvious. Why?

Estimated total fluid consumed in the day - 250 ml. Better than the previous days. However as the day goes, he seemed to reject drinking more although hungry. He pursed his lips so tight even grandma has trouble opening his mouth.x

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is he having a sore throat, mouth ulcer or is his palate still hurting? Caden will drink eagerly initially but after a couple of sips, he suddenly stopped and closed his mouth so tight as if a sore point is hit. He is letargic most times and slept a lot, which is unusual of the baby. This worried mummy as these may be signs for dehydration. She has to 'force' fluid down his throat although the experiences were not pleasant.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's going to be Day 5, when will Caden accept bottle feeding again?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

One of the conversations in the day.......

Mummy>Caleb: Caleb, look at didi (little brother), is he happy or sad?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Caleb took a look at Caden, paused before replying*

Caleb>Mummy: Sad.

After Ops Day 3

2009-11-20T20:33:00.002+08:00

Much of the after ops mucus and phlegm is clearing and Caden is not choking on them in his sleep as much now although he is still 'snoring'. Feeding continued to be so-so but there was attempt to bite on the sippy cup teat at clinic review this morning. He is feeding at about 4-5 hour interval in the day. The best he did was about 90ml of fluid and that was quite by 'force' becos mummy thinks he may dehydrating seeing him getting more letargic. The ret of the feeding,he only took 10-20ml of fluid.

Nurse exmined his palate cleanliness today and commented it is clean....well it is quite obvious becos he is not drinking much milk. Nurse taught mummy how to flush palate with syringe and water should there be milk or medicne stains on stitches, identified by white obvious patches.

As for ear update, daddy and mummy are too upset to comment. They are thinking what are next steps regarding ear treatment. Will update then. Meanwhile, prayer request for ear is that his hearing or ears are not affected by the unnecessary procedures done by the ENT 'goon(s)', which included an incision made on ear membrane.

After Ops Day 2: At Home

2009-11-19T22:36:00.005+08:00

Caden is not taking feed very well as yet, which is expected. Before ops, he was on 180ml every 3 to 4 hourly. Now, either he does not drink or the most he took was 80ml (diluted) and this was only 1 epidsde.

Milk feed needs to be diluted - half strength. To enhance taste, juice is added. If he rejects milk, juice, for time being is fine as well. Options for feed - by Syringe, squeezable bottle or sippy cup with a super soft teat. Caden so far is taking through syringe best. After feed, his mouth needs to be flushed with clear water to prevent milk powder/medcine sediments from sticking onto the stitches.

This one week is crucial. Much of recovery should take place by end of the week if all are progressing well. Palate must not be damaged or else there it will be a long tedious treatment process and results will not be perfect.

Both Caden's arms are on bounded with 'guard' made of spectula - prevent bending of arms to put fingers into his mouth to damage palate. When sleeping in the night, arms are additionally pinned down, with limited movement in case the arm guards fall out as mummy and daddy will be sleeping too.

Prayer requests:
- Pray against dehydration as he is not taking in mch fluid and also not passing urine much
- Pray the palate will not be damaged and there is no chance for Caden to put his fingers into his mouth.
- Pray his mild temperature will go away
- Pray he will progress with milk/juice feed on bottle
- Pray against infection and that his mouth/stitches are cleaned well after each feeding.

Caden Braving the Last Storm

2009-11-17T21:47:00.005+08:00

Caden is now at the high dependency ward and mummy is staying overnight with him becos he knows how to recognize and search for her already. Overall he seems fine although uncomfortable with 2 splints on both hands and naturally the pain that comes with it.

Operation took about 3 hours - palate repair took 1 hour and the rest was for ear treatment and hearing test. It seems that no grommet was inserted, according to his case notes but we are going to ask the ENT doctor tomorrow about details.

When he was just out of OT, he was more drowsy than he was with the previous surgeries and oxygen intake wasn't stable and good. Was at recovery room for about an hour before sending him to ward. As he was more awake from sedation, his oxygen intake resumes to normal level at about 98%-100%, which is good.

He is on glucose and drip today. Glucose and medicine by syringe, which he is taking well. Boy he loves the sweet glucose and all the more when it's made in cold cold water. Very soothing to his palate wound. Tomorrow trying him on diluted milk and nurse teaching us how to flush (cleanse) his wound after feed.

Nurse said the coming 1 week is crucial - if anythg were to happen to the palate wound eg. got a tear/hole or wound breakdown, it would have been this week. If cross this week and nothing happens, most likely all will be fine and he will be on road to recovery.

Please pray:
- smooth and speedy recovery

- his nose is congested with mucus and seems to have more when drinking fluid, please pray for mucus to clear and there is no leakage of palate or breakage of wound
- no break down/infection of wound
- no pain
- good feeding, that he will be able to coordinte well on his sucking and swallowing and breathing

- no milk stain or dirt on stitches
- good oxygen intake
- good health and protection on whole family's health during this period of time

Will update on ear once we get more details of it.

Ohh....if feeding is good, Caden gets to go home by tomorrow (Wed) evening. Please pray that this will be so as his sleep is very disturbed in the ward due to noise and light.

Caden's update

2009-11-09T22:51:00.004+08:00

Caden's ops is postponed from Nov 3 to Nov 17. In this ops, surgeries will be done to repair the cleft palate as well as inserting a grommet in both ears. Grommet is to drain off fluid in his middle ear.

Please pray for:
- good health before and after ops for whole family
- feeding to be easy and that his pain is bearable. blood mix with milk is not a good taste.
- no infection of stitches on palate after ops
- smooth operation as 2 surgeries will be performed.

Will update more after ops if there are more prayer requests. =)

Dozed off while playing

2009-09-14T18:53:00.002+08:00

I've been pushing my boundary quite alot recently. Part of growing up mum said. I was very distracted and playful at nap time this afternoon and did not nap. While playing on my own this evening, guess I was too tired that I dozed off while lying on the mattress, halfway playing with my toys. Got the pic captured by mum!

We are back on!

2009-09-14T18:47:00.003+08:00

Hi there! So, updates have stopped for some months. Apologies for those following on this blog as mum and dad have been very busy with the arrival of my little brother, Caden. Now it seems life is back on quite normal, blog updates resume! Stay connected! ;)

2009-06-20T11:55:00.003+08:00

I miss my little brother Caden!!! Finally he is back home. Caden has alot of equipment and tubes coming back with him. Now and then I will try to press of his equipment switches or pull some of his plugs. I hope I didnt do anything wrong.

Caden is finally here

2009-05-09T00:05:00.005+08:00

We have been waiting patiently for Caden and he finally decided to come out on 080509... Both mother and child is well and thanks for all your prayers.

Look out for the next posting when Caleb meets Caden!!!

Bao

2009-04-19T22:40:00.002+08:00

I surprised mum today by eating a whole lotus seed paste bao all by myself.

Mum heated some mini baos for tea this afternoon and brought them out on a plate to the dining table. Without hesitation, I climbed onto the dining chair and reach out to one of them and without anyone telling me, I peeled off the paper beneath the bao and start munching on it.

Mum was observing me the whole time and hee, I think she was impressed ;) Mummy, I'm growing up ya!

February Update

2009-04-13T22:18:00.012+08:00

Hi there! How's everyone? Haven't been updating you on what's going on in my life for over 2 months now. Mum's been tired with my upcoming little brother but she aims to give updates of my growth and development for the past two months.

Hmm...where shall we start? ok, lets do by the month then....

February

A New Bed!

Remember I told you before parents were bed hunting for me? I've got a new bed! No more baby in the playpen. I'm now sleeping on a 6-inched super single mattress. Boy, do I look tiny on it. Gong Gong helped get me this new bed from his mattress wholesaler. It's Princebed brand at a special price of $128. Mum finds the mattress very firm but I'm ok, still get sounds sleep from it.

A Swing

Popo got me a swing! It's actually a hand-me-down from gor gor Jon & Josh....Nice!

As of today, I already know how to get up the swing by myself and slowly getting over the novelty...hee.... Popo, any other new toy?

Home Haircut

How do you find my haircut? Mum's first attempt.... She cut my hair when I was watching cartoon.

Other Activities in the month

On mummy's birthday, we went Paragon for lunch and this is just at the basement.

Liverpool or Man-U?

There's fun even in pulling out socks!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

2009-04-12T22:14:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday to ME!

I celebrated my 2nd birthday today. It was a simple affair but a very pleasant one. Thanks to everyone who give me ang baos and pressies! Love you all!

Haircut Needed

2009-01-16T11:31:00.001+08:00

I badly need a haircut. Hair on the sides are over the ears and it seems I have a mop over my head now. Mum, please bring me for a haircut please!

Hello Year 2009

2009-01-16T11:20:00.002+08:00

I had diarrhoea on New Year's eve. Poo-ed 7 times on Day 1, how painful!!! Mum gave up on wiping me to ease my pain but even contact with water is agonizing. Skin was red and sore from the acidic poo. the 40% desitin really helped. Diarrhoea lasted for about 5 days but from Day 2 onwards I poo-ed only 2-3 times.

Was on Isomil for the whole week and some nice banana flavored Lactefol, yum! But my meals were lousy, always the same chicken flavored porridge because mum was told fish will worsen diarrhoea.

Bye to diarrhoea and hi to cough ad runny nose.....bleah. Very phlegmy cough and I am now into Day 3 of medication. I enjoyed the mixtures though but caused me to be not as active. TV seems to be a good source of comfort for me now. I hope to be well before CNY to enjoy it.

What a way to start the year but the good thing for all these is - I avoided two jabs...hiak!

Bed Hunt

2008-12-08T22:43:00.005+08:00

Today, we went to a few furniture places. It seems that dad and mum want to get me a new bed. I am very comfortable with my current playpen although I often hear dad comments it is too small for me but I am happy squeezing myself to the corner.

I am guessing they may want me to give up my playpen for the baby in mummy's stomach.

In any case, I am happy testing and shopping for a bed. See how relaxed and happy I look on a display bed at Ikea.

Sleeping Habit Changing

2008-12-01T22:32:00.003+08:00

I have been waking up later in the morning. I used to rise at 7am in the monring, have two naps in the day and end the day at 9pm.

For the past few days, I have been waking up at almost 8am (which is good news for mama), have my morning nap over lunch and waking up at 2pm+. That will be the only nap for me for the day. I will then be up until bedtime at 9pm. On some days, if my morning naps are shorter, waking up at 1pm+, I may have another late pm nap at 5+, waking up at 6ish. On those days, I will be allowed to stay up a little longer, hitting bed only at 9.30pm or 10pm.

Mum suspects I will drop my morning nap soon and taking only a pm nap. She hopes it will be settled beginning from 2 to 2:30pm and waking up at 4:30pm to 5pm. We'll see.

So You Think I Can't Talk?

2008-12-01T22:09:00.004+08:00

Mama

2008-12-01T22:06:00.002+08:00

I can call Mama now. Mum has been waiting for this day for long. I can call Gong-gong too. These are the two persons whom I can pronounce accurately. As for the rest, I recognize and can call but they are not that accurate.

Potty Training : Day 4

2008-12-01T21:36:00.003+08:00

It never came. I have a change of 'nanny' and mum a helper at home so she is a bit tied up and tired with the transition to be bothered with my potty training. YEAH!...at least a break for me hiak! ;p

Potty Training : Day 3

2008-11-23T22:30:00.002+08:00

There is slight improvement on Day 3 - two successful collections of pee onto the potty; once after I woke up from morning nap and the other time in the late afternoon. Other times, I am either too busy with my toys or no patience to stand by the potty.

Potty Training : Day 1 & 2

2008-11-21T12:34:00.002+08:00

Potty training begins!!

Day 1 - Did not manage to catch on any drop of urine until the later part of the afternoon. Pee halfway, I thought it was something interesting, I put my hand into the potty. The adults shouted and my pee stopped! Continued on the floor awhile later, hee *wish wash wipe* Evening came - the last hour before I hit bed, mum usually observed I do not pee much so she decided to put just a pair of shorts on me without diaper so I will not be so warm. She was so wrong of me that evening (hiak). I pee-d 3 times with minutes of intervals - in my room, playyard and the living room... *wish wash wipe*

Day 2 - Again, urine was caught on in the later part of the afternoon and the sound of pee hitting the potty intrigued me so again, I attempted to put in my hand but it was prevented in time.

So far, I think peeing in the potty seems fun. Not sure if I will continue to like it or get bored with it soon. We'll see soon! ;p

Have I progressed? Well, compared to the last time, at least I am more patient now.

Last Weekend

2008-10-14T11:44:00.015+08:00

On Saturday, I went to Novena Square. Got 3 ballooons there and was thrilled by them. Then we went to get my tricycle.

After my pm nap, we went to Marina Square and had dinner at Kenny Rogers. How can I miss the famous corn muffin there!

Passed by Lego shop and there's a bike there too!

Now which one do I look smarter on?

Before going home, the slide at Kiddy Palace caught my attention. Now how can I go off without having at least one slide.

On Sunday I went to town. Took a walk around some malls there. Ended my day at East Coast Park Big Splash, joy riding on my new tricycle. Had dinner at Sushi Tei - Chicken Katsu-don with Akadashi Tofu. But I was not very hungry so did not eat much. O, bumped into Kao-gong and family at Carl's Jr!

New Toys

2008-10-14T11:26:00.002+08:00

Hey! I've got some new toys at home! I'm enjoying them each day.

Mom rented the ball pool for a month. I love diving into it and always making a 'whoo...' sound when rolling balls down the side ramps. It will be nice to have my other little friends join me in the pool (at least that's what mummy thinks - hiak!)

My playyard has to be put away in the storeroom for this month until I'm done with this round float thing due to space constrain in the house.

Now now, isn't this cool? My first owned 'Harley'. It's got buttons and lights, music and rooster crowing - uh-huh, rooster crowing not that cool eh...but STILL, this is my own bike ;) Dad got this for me from a shop along Balestier Road.

September Outings

2008-10-13T11:39:00.008+08:00

O gosh! It's almost a month since I last gave any updates. O well, mom is a little unwell so that caused a little delay there cos I need to look after her *grinz*

Alright, here's the snapshot style of where I have been in the remaining month of September.

Went on the Singapore Flyers with all my cousins. Trying to 'choup' best seat for next year's F1.

Wedding lunch at the Crown Plaza Hotel at Terminal 3. A toast to the newly wed!

I Need a Company-Part II

2008-09-18T15:14:00.002+08:00

Phew for mum it's just a phase for a week. I am back to my normal routine of sleeping by myself through the night now although there are still days I will try to be funny and need a company. Well, this is part of growing up I guess, even I cannot explain my inconsistent behaviour =)

I Need a Company

2008-09-08T15:38:00.006+08:00

I have been sleeping on my own since 3 months old in my own room and have been able to sleep through the night since 5 months. I do wake up in the midde of the night occasionally and need a hug or pat but I am generally easy to pacify.

For the past week, however, I have been quite insecure in my night sleep. I needed someone to accompany me, not just to sit beside my bed, which began with that, but someone must touch me or I must be able to feel and see someone close to me before I stop fussing. Even if I do sleep by myself, I have been waking up more often in the middle of the night requiring a company before I fall asleep again.

Mum is wondering why and if only I can verbalize my thoughts and feelings. Mum guesses that perhaps now that I am older, I know how to feel scared and insecure; she also guesses it could be me teething or a passing phase.

I know my parents are thinking of either letting me fuss and cry should this carry on so I may overcome this habit or continue to support me with their tired physical presence whenever I fuss. Of course I am hoping very hard it will be the latter.....

Recently, I have been liking to act very surprise whenever small thing happens, eg. dropping or toppling of something be it a toy, food or something that goes out of slight alignment. And I'm trying to be cheeky by smiling it off with my hand covering my mouth, hee hee....!

Month of August

2008-09-02T22:12:00.027+08:00

The month of August is filled with short trips. Went on a total of 3 trips.

First was to Bangkok - it was a 3D2N trip where we stayed at the Grand Diamond Suites. It wasn't really that grand but it is like a mini apartment and is located right beside the big wholesale mall - Pratunam Complex.

Pulling drawers---------------Playing with dustbin

This was my first trip overseas by aeroplane and my parents thought I did quite well with the flights both to and return. A passenger uncle even commented I was a GOOD TRAVELLOR!*proud*

The trip was quite enjoyable, with many things to see, many things to eat, although it was a little tiring for me with all the shopping and even more so as I caught a flu virus on the second day *gua gua* Nonetheless, it was a good experience for me and my parents too! ;)

Seeing that I was recovering well from flu, Dad & Mum decided with the Hong Kong trip, which was in the pipeline of the original travel plans. Popo and Yipo Diana joined us in this trip where we got a connecting room at the Regal Hong Kong Hotel. I find this hotel much nicer than the one in Bangkok - more so as I have more space to toggle around 2 rooms!

I had great fun pulling out the hand receiver from the telephone, pressing buttons on the bedside consol for room lighting control and I just love exploring the bathroom, which made the adults quite mad at some point that they decided to have the bathroom door closed.

Hong Kong is such a fast paced country. Many things to see and eat and shop til drop but the sad thing was my flu worsened. Mucus was non-stop and phlegmy cough developed and I was more uncomfortable. I even visited a 24-hr clinic at the St. Paul Hospital beside the hotel.

Despite my health condition, I was still very keen to get out of the hotel although some of the sightseeing plans were cancelled as my folks think more rest was better for me. Flight back from Hong Kong was terrible...! I fussed and screamed almost the whole flight back! Mum could not even have her meal properly. Nobody commented I was a good travellor this time :(

Well again, all was improving upon returnce to my sweet home and my sweet room. Initially, I overheard my parents saying that's it, no more trips for me since I was unwell so they shelved the Genting trip plan. But hey, how can I be so inconsiderate so to ensure the trip happens, I made great effort to have myself get well. I was very cooperative when taking medicine, I took every drop of it, even wanting more, if the adults allowed (alright mum, I know I was just being greedy...).

And so, Genting happened.

This was a road trip, like the last time and we stayed at the same hotel - Resort Hotel. Given this was my 2nd time there, I pretty much saw what I have seen the last time except for the casinos. This trip was with more people, besides my family, we have Popo, Yipo Diana & Amy, Yigong Wenrong & JK and Didi came with us too. Quite a pleasant trip. And I think this should conclude travelling for the year =)

My Weekend

2008-07-28T22:57:00.006+08:00

Last weekend was full of activities!

On Saturday, I took an MRT to town for high tea with many of my Yipos at the Sheraton Towers. Yummy chocolate mousse, grapes and petite cuppies.

On Sunday, I went to a house warming lunch, then to Carrefour at Suntec for some grocery shopping, before resting at Gelare for yummy waffle! O, and I had a pkt of vitasoy as appetizer.

I was enjoying the vitasoy so much you know what happened to me when it finished? Look at the photo of the week....kekee

The day ended with durian party at Tai-yipo house - HAPPY!

I was at the outlet at Guthrie House. If you are keen to have breakfast with me, this is a neat place to consider.

My first Membership with Explorer Kid

2008-07-18T12:15:00.010+08:00

Yoz! I had great fun at the Explorer Kid yesterday with mum, Aunty Caryn and Ian gor-gor. I am now a member of the club, big deal eh! I enjoyed the ball pool and loved going up on the car cushion thinking it is a rocking horse, haha! That's the beauty of a child, always full of imagination. O, be sure to catch me in action on the squirrel cushion! *LOL*

Went on the Ferris Wheel too. It was so attractively litted up in the evening. I was excited at first but got a bit frightened after awhile. Maybe it took me awhile to realise I am actually on high grounds.

Dinner was at but I had my homecooked chicken apple porridge (YUM!). Look, we are little charimen of the meal! Impressive isn't it ;p

I missed my afternoon nap because of this excursion, it was all worth it. But was so exhausted that I fell asleep in the car on the way home and mum had a difficult time waking me up. If you can listen close enough, you can actually hear my snoreZzz!!! *shy shy*

Rejecting Milk NO MORE!

2008-07-18T12:07:00.003+08:00

I'm back to my usual routine of milk intake. For the past few days have been drinking 480ml and that hits the average minimum requirement for toddler my age and mummy is happy. Actually nothing much to worry, I'm still a baby and babies are ever changing!! Now smile! =)

Spiffies Tooth Wipes

2008-07-17T10:53:00.004+08:00

I have been using the Spiffies tooth wipes to maintain my oral hygiene in the night before I sleep. Now I am on the second box of wipes which is Grape flavored. The first box I tried was Apple flavored.

I like the Apple better.

There's the Mango flavor too but mum doesn't see it on the shelf, discovered on an online store. I think that is an interesting flavor I would like to try too.

Part of Growing Up

I really tried my best - thinking one side of the foot does not fit, I go for the second one, still no success, then it turned into frustration.... and mum was laughing at me whole time... *grump* Well, at least I know the shoe is where I put my foot in ;)

Rejecting Milk

2008-07-11T22:22:00.017+08:00

I have been rejecting milk since two days ago. Before this happens, I was on about 690ml on a good day - 270ml in the morning (that's my first feed), 210ml at tea time and 210ml before I sleep. But there are days where I could be on only 480ml if my pm nap clash with my tea break. (Avg min. milk intake per day for a toddler my age is 480ml)

Somehow since two days ago, I lost interest in milk. I know it is milk, I recognize and said "mumm mumm" but I just refuse to drink it. The adults tried different ways to trick me into drinking but hey, I'm a Gain-IQ boy alright, I know what they are up to, I selected what I want to eat and spit those that I don't want... hee, I think Abbott should consider me as their spokesTod *grinz*

Mum thinks I am reacting this way because of teething. I think I'm still young to understand, can't really tell but I have been really short tempered recently, screaming at the slightest thing. Perhaps too bored cooping up at home whole day. Mum hopes this is just a phase that will pass soon.

O, just to monitor, there will be a Milk Chart during this period recording on my daily milk intake.

Wed, Jul 9 - 270ml -------Mon, Jul 14 - 480ml

Thu, Jul 10 - 170ml ----- Tues, Jul 15 - 480ml

Fri, Jul 11 - 10ml --------- Wed, Jul 16 - 480ml

Sat, Jul 12 - 450ml --------Thu, Jul 17 - 480ml

Sun, Jul 13 - 370ml

Accident

2008-07-09T22:33:00.004+08:00

This is my 3rd "major" accident. There're minor ones in between - not reported. The first accident was on my lips. Second time I got a blue black on my left cheek and now, a blue black on my right cheek. How I got it? Walk without looking in front and bumped onto my room door frame, poink! Hope to have my handsome face resumed soon!

Joining in on the Table Soon

2008-07-03T17:27:00.007+08:00

This is about food. I love sharing about food cuz that's where it's closest to my heart....and stomach *grinz*

Last night was the 2nd time I have the same food for dinner as the adults. I mean SAME. I had rice, minced pork wrapped in egg (like a dumpling shape), cabbage (mong kok) & lotus soup, o yummy! How I love adult food! They are much more tastier than those that I normally eat although I know that these table food has been customized slightly for me as well. Because I still do not have that many teeth, the rice was cooked slightly softer, lesser salt in the food, no salt at all in the soup (but it is tasty on its own already). Gee, I feel I'm a big boy now. One thing that will be perfect for dad & mum though is my behaviour at mealtime. Yes I love food but my attention to sit nicely throughout the meal has shortened. There are so many distractions around me I just want my hands on everything! And soon after I lay my hands on them, I thow them on the floor and insist that I have them back again before I agree to open my mouth for another spoonful of food.
I kinda know this exasperates the adults sometimes - its like they will say "hey, you said you want but now that you've gotten it why do you throw it away and then want it back again to have it be thrown again..." Well, I'm not too sure myself the reason but I guess throwing is about the only big action I know what I can do to the things in my hand. Probably next time when I discover what else I can do to things I hold, I can make better use of what's in my hands.

A cheeky & mischievous Evening

2008-07-02T22:09:00.012+08:00

I am in very good mood today and when daddy mummy come back home after work, I especially like to show off to them what I can do. Today, I just love disturbing them at dinner, what a fun evening! ;p

Daddy, I want to play with ---------You want to take my picture?

Awww....I'm not that -----------------Yes yes, I fell and bump

mischievous. See, ------------------my head but no sweat,

I'm a harmless little kitten. ---------I'm a BOY!

Diaper Story II

2008-06-28T22:29:00.005+08:00

After some weeks of trying out different brands and comparing prices. I am now settled on 2 brands - I wear them at different times of the day, depending on my shee shee quantity.

PetPet is similar to drypers except that I find it slightly bigger, which suits me since I am in between size for Dryper L and XL now. There are also indicators around the waist so it is easy to gauge on where the side tape should be for conistent tightness. Unlike Drypers, The stickiness of the side tape for PetPet are not too sticky so it is not difficult to remove. However, I cannot have conscutive changes of PetPet for too many times as there will be redness on my 2 sides. It has nothing to do with the tightness, it's probably the material. Anyhow, PetPet is still good to wear and help defray diaper cost =)

Just so you know,
Cost of 1 = 2

and the above calculation is based on where mum know sells the cheapest PetPet so far, which is at a medical hall at Pasir Ris West Plaza ;)

Well, thats about all about my diaper updates, Cheers!

Photo Me - 'Chik-Chak'

2008-06-27T00:49:00.006+08:00

Finally, we had our family portrait taken in the studio on June 24. A total of 130 photographs taken and fully given to us, unedited in a CD. Well, there are actually more than 130 snaps but many were deleted by the photographer (PG) because they were not presentable.

Uncle Benjamin was our PG. He is a tall guy with greyish hair, wearing a pair of nerdy spectacles. Mum prayed hard before the photoshoot session that I will not be uncomfortable in the studio and I was not. What a great relief to her! Phew #1. I guess maybe the toys and space in the studio set me at ease. Uncle Ben ice-broke with me before the session began and seeing his sincerity, I responded to him with a faint smile. Phew #2.

My fav music CD was played and the photo shoot began - 'chik chak chik chak' boy, I'm like a movie star!...starlet =) I have a total of 5 changes and dad mum had 3 each - all in that one hour...well, 1 hr and 20mins to be exact. Uncle Ben is kind enough to extend time for my last change. We have props brought from home, some were from the studio and the part where I enjoyed most is where I have bits of FOOD given to me. Kinda like a bribery or bait for me to comply with the adults' wants. It's good to be cranky at the right time *grinz*

Fun time is always short and although 1 hour sounded like a short time for a family studio shoot, I think the timing works perfect for me. Yes, I had fun but anything longer than that I would have complained. Ok, enough is said, hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as we have enjoyed taking them! Say cheese! Chik-Chak!

O btw, if you are wondering what the 3 little bears are doing in the album, beats me too! Maybe Uncle Ben thinks they are our family members too...kekkee...

A Nice Weekend

2008-06-19T17:10:00.005+08:00

Last Saturday, my family had a good time out. We went to town in the afternoon and proceeded to the Botanical Gardens and met up with Ian 'gor-gor' and his daddy mummy.

At the Swan Lake area, I saw many fishes swimming in the pond and I was delighted! There were turtles too and 2 beautiful white swans. They were huge! Mum brought me near the edge of the water so I can have an up close and personal experience with the swans but I was...well, i'm not scared (ahem) but mmm...SHY...yes! I was SHY! (haha)

We headed down to Tanglin Mall foodcourt for dinner and there was where I had my FIRST proper meal out - as in no home-cooked porridge but EVERYTHING was bought over the counter (impressive? or big fat harry deal?) . I had grilled fish with baked potato and I must have done a great job because mum could taste some pepper on the fish but I ate it all the same though I think there could be better food somewhere.

There are actually some nice pictures taken that day which I wanted to share but as usual, the card reader is not working properly again so will have to share it with you some other time!

We may be going Sentosa this weekend - hopefully...! =)

Photo Me - Foto U

2008-06-06T13:50:00.004+08:00

Ok, mum finally made a booking with Foto-U for our photo shoot. It is having a promotional price at $120 for an hour session, with all softcopy returned in a CD. It's a STEAL!

But, the catch is it's only an hour session on a weekday and I'm not sure if I can warm up in time for good happy shots . Also not sure if I will like Benjamin, who is our appointed photographer, or the studio for that matter. Date and time have not been confirmed, it depends on my folks' schedule - mainly dad's.

Well, we'll see how it turns out. Will definitely update you when this comes to past. ;)

Diaper Story

2008-06-03T22:19:00.013+08:00

Recently my wee wee seems to leak from the diaper quite frequently, mum wonders why. There is no change of the brand of diaper that I have been using but there is just leak even when the diaper is worn properly and not totally full.

So mum bought me a pack of Nepia 'L' size two weeks back, to try if this can solve the problem. I tried Nepia "M' before and Mum loves it. She says it is soft and cloth-like so it is gentle and comfortable for my delicate skin. Its coming to the end of the pack but this time round, mum does not find it as impressive as before. Still leaks.

Mum says she is going to try for me. She got feedback from friends and Yi-ma that this is really good and absorbent. Costing more though but lets see if it fits me good. I'm more interested with the pants - heard there is difference between what is for a boy and a girl. There's even pooh bear prints on it, hee so cute!!

And since we are on the diaper, this is just to share what else mum got feedback on about other brands of diaper.

Extremely Expensive but comfortable and cloth-like. But still leaks for my friend, Gayle.

My neighbour said it's very thin and not that absorbent but Aunty Caryn has a different take on that.

Aunty Cles said this is good for her princess but mummy's hairdresser finds the cut at the thigh more suitable for a girl than a boy so for her boy, there were frequent leaks. She is now using Mamypoko for her son currently.

Any sharing or suggestions from anyone regarding this? Feel free to comment.

Photo Me - Who will?

2008-06-02T22:54:00.004+08:00

I am thirteen months now. Mum is trying to arrange a studio photo shoot for me and my family but have not been able to decide on the photographer or studio. Hopefully it will be finalized soon.

Do you have any suggestion?

Who's Who Again?

2008-06-02T22:44:00.005+08:00

An Eye for an eye,

A nose for a nose,

A mouth for a mouth.

What daddy has, he duplicated all for me

What I am having, I got it all from him.

Do you agree?

In a scale of 1-10 what would you grade our resemblance? (1 being least alike, 10 being most alike)

Ahh....What a treat it is to have a nice afternoon tea with a lovely young lady. I enjoyed myself, so did our mummies - in fact, i think they act more like kids than us - hehe!

The strawberry cake there is really yummy! I just can't stop asking for more 'mumm mumm'.

Perfecting Footsteps

2008-05-28T21:58:00.009+08:00

The baby footsteps concept is the same for every learning.

It takes much encouragement and courage for the 1st step to be taken.

It is alright to fall, important thing is to pick yourself up soon and try again.

The process of correction is tedious but necessary for success - be patient!

Even when the skill is learnt, a mistake once a while may still be unavoided - accept it.

and finally.....

So amused!

Bon Appetit!

2008-04-22T12:59:00.007+08:00

I have been exposed to quite a lot of new food ever since I turned ONE. I think mum suddenly realizes I'm a big boy now *ahem* and boy, am I enjoying all the food, although some taste kinda weird i must say, like.....yoghurt?? ha, but I eat it all the same. Dad & mum often say I am not worried about bad tasting food, just worried about NOT HAVING FOOD, oh no then I'm in trouble!!

Road Trip to M'sia

2008-04-17T16:14:00.024+08:00

Dad & Mum were discussing for WEEKS before deciding on a roadtrip to Genting & Port Dickson (PD) with me. Well I guess preparing and packing for babies like me is not exactly an easy task esp for mum who is first timer so she spoke to experienced mums for tips and read up the WHATs & HOWs.

Hee, but however well prepared, something is bound to be left out and guess what was missing for me? - Mosquito Net! O well, I guess that's not such a big deal since my all time fav playpen is brought along, (with mattress of cos!) but it does constitute one of the reasons for changing our accomodation to the Garden Chalet from the Water Chalet in PD-Avillion.

Overall experience was great & fun and I came back wanting to go out more! Hiak hiak, I am no longer the 'sam-pat' boy you knew, I know what's good stuff! ;p

Alritey, here're some pics & clips to share! Cheers!

Just ONE Bday Wish

2008-03-26T15:06:00.005+08:00

Many people have asked me what I want for my birthday. Actually, there is really no need to get anything, Mama thinks so too but still people insist so Mama made a list on some ideas. But I do welcome any other pressies, its the tot that count right. Even if there is nothing, it is also absolutely, perfectly, ALRIGHT! ;)

What if there are duplicate presents or maybe all turn out to be the SAME presents....Hahaa!!! O well, its from people who love me, I will like them all.

O, I do have ONE birthday request though is if you see me on my birthday, do shake my hand and wish me HAPPY BIRTHDAY ok? Afterall, this is my first time and I will be thrilled if you do that. Cheers!

2008-03-25T12:51:00.003+08:00

Yet another progress.....Mum dipped me into the pool without the float and I came out of the water - BLUR!! What just happened? Reflex action - swept the water from my face and complained...

Mum repeated the dipping act a few more times, some which I was ok with, some I was not. Overall experience was ok but more practice needed. For now, I shall cling onto Mama like a Kuala!

My Little Library

This is my little library. Make a guess - which is my fav book?

Peter Rabbit musical book is the very first book mum exposed me to because it has music!

Well, I am beginning to enjoy very much Mirror Me, given by Auntie Corina.

Jemina Puddle Duck & Chug Chug are little books I enjoy flipping and throwing, hee.

New additions which I have yet explore much into to decide if I will like them but from quick flipping at the bookstore, they seem appealing!

Oh, I can sip water from straw! It took me less than 5 mins to discover this new skill.
Now I can drink water from bottle, from cup (drip & leak though) and from straw. Mum's trying all ways to entice me to drink more water.

"Please"

Daddy, Mummy and Didi are all so happy when I can finally sign for "please" one evening while eating my porridge. They clapped! You should look at their faces.

Now I sign "please" whenever I want something but sometimes I get what I want, sometimes I don't. Especially when I "please" to touch a power plug, I always don't get it....I wonder why.....
