Flatline no more

Thanks (or no thanks) to the spam comments I have been receiving, I have decided to revive this blog.

Was scanning through the past entries and now wished I had not stopped. It is such a nice diary of Aiden growing up! But guess I've just been too busy as my last post was just before I started working.

So I will try... To start posting again!

Throw throw throw!

9 months 3 days old - His new favourite activity.... Taking the things from the sofa and throwing ALL of them on the floor.

3 Years ! Long or Short ?

Today Aiden's pek pek went for his posting of 3 YEARS in Japan. 3 years... feels long to me... wonder how Aiden will recognise pek pek... from now on he can only see his pek pek from a screen... or rather all of us, not just Aiden...

The decorations are up!

We are ready for CNY!

11 January 2012 - Happy 8 years and Happy 7th ROM Anniversary!

Ever so sweet... the delivery man turned up with a bouquet of my favourite flowers, along with a sweet little pink Care Bear.

We didn't plan any celebrations today since it's a weekday and we didn't want to bring Aiden out for dinner too late in the night. But hubby took half day as a surprise so that he could buy an Awfully Chocolate cake for me... and some terribly expensive truffles! Yummy!

Went for a simple dinner. Not just the 2 of us this year as we brought Aiden along, and our helper too. But it was nice to just be able to go out :)

Happy anniversary sweetie!

Up he goes

6 months & 27 days old
- He has been trying to push himself up any chance he had, by pushing on my leg especially. Finally he managed to stand up by himself using the cot railing to prop himself up. Part of me wants to say Well Done!! The other part of me is cringing at how fast he learns these naughty things... Look at his super mischievous smile!

Freedom

6 months 24 days - Aiden realizes that he does not have to sit still in the pram... And that he can actually sit up and start to try climbing up or out!

(Sorry for the blurred pictures. Couldn't get a good shot and these were too cute not to post!)

Did he just say that?

Aiden's first alphabet - S
(I hope it was not "Ass".... Did you watch Meet The Fockers?)

Aiden's first word - Mum!
(Although I hope he meant mum as in mummy and not mum as in "mum mum" ie food!)

Cereal

Started Aiden on cereal. As expected, I think more cereal ended up outside his mouth than in. Gave up wiping his mouth after awhile.

I love this photo, especially when I realized that you can see his first tooth here! Good shot ya!

Aiden's diarrhea

Aiden has not been well. He has been having diarrhea for the past 2 weeks.

We started him infant cereal but he did not seem to like it. So we tried giving him a teaspoon of boiled mashed potato. It seemed to be going well until he started having diarrhea on the 3rd day. The doctor said that his body is adjusting to the new food type and told us to persist with the potato.

However, after giving him potato for another 2 days, the diarrhea didn't seem to let up. So we stopped the potato. Didn't help. Changed him to soy milk. Seemed to help a little but did not stop it completely. Tried the traditional way by giving him porridge water. Again, it seemed to help a little.

It was so worrying to see him pooing 6, 7 times a day even though sometimes it is just a little bit. And it was even more heart breaking to see him lose weight. The only consolation is that he is still active and playing well.

So many opinions from so many people. We even tried mixing the soy milk with porridge water (Doctor's orders during the 2nd visit) but he started to not finish his milk, so we stopped doing it as well.

Finally sent his stool for testing last Friday. Hope all is in the clear. And that all these is due to Aiden's teething, which could be one of the causes of diarrhea in babies.

Tooth!

First sign of a tooth today with Aiden being just 5 months and 11 days old!

Felt it when i was washing his gums during bath. Peeled his mouth open and true enough, there you see the slighest protrusion of a tiny white tooth! :D

Protest

Starting to dislike the car seat and growing strong enough to kick and protest. See how far he had slid down the seat.

Hubby and I are going to prepare ear plugs as we will soon need to strap him down...
