Day 89

Ethan went for his 2nd jab today. He weighs 6.36kg & 60cm in height..

He has grown -- my precious baby...

Dear dearest & dearie

Ethan had grown over the days from a yelling crying baby to a sweet smiley baby who reacts whenever one talks to him. All the tiredness were eliminated the moment he smiles & rattles..


Motherhood is such a wonderful process....

Poooooooo-ingggggggggg

A typical day at home with the mommy thinking of training Ethan to poo at a similar time each day :)

Mery XMas

Ethan wishes all Godmoms, Uncles, Aunties, Jie Jie, Kor Kor a MERRY CHRISTMAS & a BLESSED PROSPEROUS 2009...

^_^

Tummy Time

Dear Mommies or Mommies-to-be,

I read from the net that it is essential for babies to have tummy time daily....This is how Ethan react during tummy time.

As the saying goes "A hungry boy is an angry boy" look at how hungry he is..

Yummy Drumstick

Ethan has learnt to stuff his whole hand into his mouth ^_^Reckon the little drumstick taste yummy!!!

To add on, anyone knows why is he getting tanner & tanner day by day despite being indoor all his time? My MIL had been asking me this question as at when she meet Ethan. My generic reply to her is " cos the mommy drink a lot of coffee :)"

Most importantly I am very sure I had not brought the wrong baby home from the nursery when Ethan was discharged.

Dear Dillion

Bestie's boy, Dillion @ 20 months..The boy is such an amazing boy...Adhere to mommy's instruction :)

Day 67

Time really flies...Ethan embarks his 70th day with the family in a few days time. During this period, it had been tiring yet enjoyable spending maximum quality time with him. He had developed from a baby to a toddler who reacts when you sing & talk. Often his different facial reactions amuses me.

Thank you Ethan for being part of the family.....

Tons of love from everyone :)

Baby Asher has grown!!

Seems like juz yday when I was @ my good friend house when her dearie had just "pop" in. He is already 9.5 months..Amazing fast..

Cute pictures ...

Day 55

Ethan has grown & has different facial expressions... All my tiredness diminished whenever I look at him.

Protruding Belly Button

Ethan has this enormous belly button protruding out. The seniors at home said that it was due to the constant crying resulting in excessive "wind" getting into his stomach. Whilst others said that the belly button was not thoroughly cleansed when the umbilical cord was "disconnected" from the belly button.

His mommy is still trying to apprehend what is the real explanation behind it.......

Personalized Pillow

This personalised bean sprout pillow is from Aunty Lindy. See Ethan's height :). The pillow is almost equivalent to his height.

The bean sprout pillow is used to be laid on the babies chest as they are more prone to be frightened by sudden movement & noises causes by the surroundings. This will thus give them a sense of security as they feel being cuddled in the mummy's arms or even in the womb. At the same time, it acts as cushioning to the loud noises & movement thus prevent shocking them.

Thank you for the pillow with mommy's favourite colour.

Authentic Look

Finally back from my mom's house after 4days-3nights stay as Ethan is grouchy & cranky after the jab. Felt so re-charged that my parents & grandmom are there to help out. It is so stressed-free @ mom's house as I get to sleep to the maximum (instead of waking up 3 times nightly), go out to dine with friends & most importantly spending quality time with Ethan & my nephew Jaden.

My mom made these for Ethan & all my nephews...It is tailor-to-make & not everyone has the chance to wear these "AH PEI" pants..Sooooo authentic right. Baby Asher also has this tailor-to-make pants as well.....

Simply Cool...............................!!!!

6-in-1

Ethan went for his 1st jab - 6-in-1* immunization today. He is 6 weeks old as of today & weighs 4.884kg & 52cm tall comparing to his birth weight & height of 2.99kg & 49cm respectively . This was mainly contributed to his rountine BI-HOURLY feed day & night.


Gosh!!! The PD commented " Your son can really cry out loud" after the needle was "poked" into his flesh..I joking told the PD" all the patients waiting outside must have ran off "..


Juz hoping he will not be dominated by the fever virus after the jab. Otherwise, will have to "tabao" & pack my bag to camp over at my mom's house.


* Dear folks, 6-in-1 covers : - Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, HepB, Polio & Hamemophilus unfluenzae.


Being a typical Singaporean mom, Ethan will also be taking jabs for chicken pox, pneumococcal & rotavirus ..

Day 43

Ethan has grown....An updated picture of our dearie boy :)

The mommy felt so refreshed after having a 3days 2nights stay at mommy's mommy's house - Ethan's grandmom. There are so many helpers around to fuss over Ethan whilst we were there -- SO FORTUNATE.

Now we are back to our own house when Ethan has to be alone when he yells for food.

Ps: Godmum D, does the clothes looks familiar?

Which is Bigger ??

"Its addictive, dun give your child the pacifier." .. "The teeth willl grow out of place"..

These are the common answers when mommies are being asked why are their babies not being given pacifier? Pacifier are also commonly known as "baby comforter".

Many of us are against babies "sucking" pacifier but I am left with not much choice. This chap has the tendancy of yelling for food practically hourly. The main reason why I allowed him to have the pacifier is hopefully to reduce the amount of air getting into his stomach - colic at the same time encouraging him to sleep longer.

I hoped I am not a bad mommy who had introduced lousy habit to baby Ethan.

This is how he looks with pacifier. It looks so big on his small little face !!

Home-Alone

Baby Ethan has turned 1 month old.

The mommy is trying to cope alone since the confinement lady leaves... that leaves me with minimum time to update the blog. Will try to update it whenever I can..

So stay tune :)

Sideburn

Anyone had side-burn longer than this young chap !!!!!

Double Chin

Fierce looking when he is only half-full. Frown, stare or yell for attention. Notty but cute..

Look at the double chin he has......

Mittens

Found this rather interesting & cute so i took a picture to share. Short & fatty fingers :)

The long fingernails Ethan possess. Looks more like French manicure to me !!!

This is when mittens comes into pictures. All babies are suggested to wear mittens to protect them from scratching their face or where-so-ever....

Gifts from Godmums

Gift from Godmum D, H & C (Clockwise direction). Thank you Godmums for the great gifts despite being separated by the Timor Sea...

20 days old

Ethan has turned 20 days old today!!!

Thank you all the Godmums, Bosses, Aunties, Uncles, Jiejie, Korkor, Didi, Meimei, Ah gong, Ah ma....etc (countless) who have had visited, called, emailed, IM or even sms.
Ethan has been TRYING hard to be a good boy..Keep trying !!

Pimples or Polkadots??

The 1st thing that I do daily morning is to go over to Ethan's room making sure he is sleeping , breathing (typical paranoid behaviour) & giving him a morning kiss. (I know my mouth stinks cos i rushed over to see him even before I brush my teeth)

This morning as usual I went over & got a shock. His right face has an additional of 8 shocking RED "pimples or polkadots"...... Being a paranoid mommy, I searched through the baby books & surfed the net for more information.

Answer : Either mosquito bite or just pimple like (all babies will have & will slowly die off)

I just have to wait & see...

Octopus Flip

Ethan's sleeping posture reminds me of a good friend cum sister in Melbourne.

Recalled the good old days when we camp over at a friend's house, with 3-4 girls sharing a Queen size bed . This posture alone takes up 1/2 the bed.

Hayley, your sleeping posture is something like that.

Polkadots

4 Bright RED polkadots appear on Ethan's left face this morning. It's the work of terror mosquitoes..

No wonder human beings hated them to the core ^_^

Sleeping Posture

Saw the sleeping posture of Ethan? I called this the "Octopus Flip". The moment he knock his head against the walls of the baby cot, he yell & wail out loud......

Goshness.....

Panda @ home

This boy who is less than 3 weeks old is already up to his mischief. Saw the big red scratch on his face?











The result of his constant yelling for his food is EQUIVALENT = Mommy's panda eyes. The dark circles under my eyes looked like this.. "~"

Equation:-
Bb's food + yelling = Lack of rest & sleep = Dark eyes ring

4th years old ^-^

Time really flies...This boy will turn 4th years old soon. We held an early celebration for him at my house today as the family is travelling soon.

HAPPY 4TH YEARS OLD ENRIC!! Behave yourself in Xi-an ^_^

Mommy&son

Fresh from the oven..this picture taken an hour ago....BB Ethan's eyes half closed when the picture was taken. Of course he yelled !! Poor bb he is being forced into taking pictures with the crazy mother ;)

This is him....Posture needs to be corrected right :)

A cute photo of Jaden

Suddenly saw this picture in my D drive taken when he was 2.5 years old.....

I named this photo as "Nezha" "哪吒" who is a deity, the enfant terrible trickster, originally of Chinese mythology. Now tat he is approaching 5 years old this year, can you see the drastic change?

So mommies & mommies-to-be, it is important to capture the daily life of your loved ones..

Sis, hoped you will not styled unique hairstyle for Bb Ethan next time.. hah hah hah....

I am 10 days old!!!

Baby Ethan had juz turned 10 days old today!! Recalled 10 days ago when I was still struggling in the delivery ward.. Past 10 days had indeed made an impact in my life as well as the daddy's life too. We MATURED as a newly promoted parents ;)

Mommy has been asking BB Ethan to pose & smile till he surrender !!

Hear No Evil !!!!

A Bogus BB....











Finally relieved !!





Finally both Mommy & BB can rest ......
