guess who's back... ...

2006-12-16T17:03:00.000+08:00

yes! finally i'm free to blog. hehe.

today 16/12/2006, Dylan is already 1yr 4mths and 3days old! he has really grown so much... here's a quick update.

Aug: He managed to wobble around at 11.5mths old, or rather 1 week before he turns 1.

Sep: He can walk very well and is starting to learn to run. and mummy is to busy to spend time with him

Oct: He starts to get noisy with all the baby talk! everyday there's also funny stuff that he does to make evreyone laugh.

Nov: He can say "ish", "duck", "ya", "daddy", "mama", "oh o", "shit" and many more.

Dylan has really progressed so much within a few mths. just last monday, he went for his 1-2yrs MMR last jab. My poor darling cried... for 10sec... haha. He is also getting a lot smarter. Nowadays he loves to go out. He would take his shoes and sit near the door, shouting for someone to help him wear his shoes for him and bring him out. haha. But it kinda gets a big headache cos he doesn't wanna stay at home, always wanting to go out and "scold" the sky for raining. haha. Grandma always tell Dylan, "Oh! its raining already, no more gai-gai" and Dylan would reply pointing out the window, "ah ja ja ya ja bu bu ja... ... " his alien language.

Almost forgot a very very interesting thing. There was a week whereby in the vicinity, there was lots of pasa malam. 1 night, daddy, mummy and uncle nic brought Dylan out to walk in the pasa malam. Before leaving home, Grandma gave Dylan $2 which he generously let mummy keep it. We stop by a stall selling the 'tu-tu kueh' as mummy wanted get some to eat. Dylan noticed the picture and he pointed at it and made noise. the aunty then ask if he wanted it. Dylan nodded his head. Then the aunty asked him again, "where's your money?", he pointed at mummy. haha. i took out his $2 and gave it to him. He happily gave the money to the aunty and waited for him food. haha. My baby has learned to buy things.

I will upload his recent photos asap. Now that mummy is working, there's so little photos of him!

Here's 1 to share:

Stylist & Photographer: Mummy
Hair Product: Perspiration Of(f) Dylan

a horrible monster is emerging...

2006-07-24T12:05:00.000+08:00

ya, that monster is dylan. haha. now that he is so much older, he knows a lot of things. i believe he can even understand us now. just last thu night, he wans to eat his pacifier. so i hold it in front of him to make grab it and put into his mouth. he didn't wan to hold it, even when i put it in his hand, he just shake it off. so poor baby cried and screamed for about 5mins when he went to bang himself on to the side of the playpen and cut his gums. by now mummy have no choice but to give in.

nowadays he wans things to be his way. watever he wans he gotta get it. i guess thats a passing phrase in life. i only hope he'll be better when he is older but from wat i heard, 2 will equals to the terror-2 or trouble-2. which means 2year old are like monsters. haha. so i guess dylan gotta starting growing more meat on his butt so spanking wun hurt so much. haha.

gotta go again. mummy recently so sick. haiz...

after another 12days

2006-07-19T12:38:00.000+08:00

my baby is already 11mth 6day old!!! soon he'll be 1year old!!! within this 12days, he learnt to clap his hands. all u have to do is say "pai pai shuo" and he'll do it for u to see, but only provided if he is in a good mood. haha. dylan really learnt so much in the pass 11mths. first he started off with wriggling his toes and fingers to a simple sound like "ah, da, eh". no he can even call his uncle alex. haha. he'll shout "a yak" something like that. but it's still not known if he know that is his uncle's name or like a "hey" to us.

a few days ago, dylan tries something very exciting. the staircase in my house and to the dinning tabble is abt 2feet away. grandma was sitting at the dining table watching him while mummy was on the staircase watching him. while dylan was holding on to the gate which was blocking the staircase, he suddenly let go his hand and walked a few steps when mummy shuoted "look, dylan can walk on his own!" baby dylan stopped to look at mummy before he squat down and sit, as usual. haha. so far haven seen his 2nd attempt! how exciting! one day i believe when i come home from work, dylan will be walking towards me with a great big smile and then hug me. i'm waiting... ... ... waiting for this day to come...

nong nong ago... ... ...

2006-07-07T15:50:00.000+08:00

... ... dylan had learnt to say "mum mum" and "nei nei" for "food" and "milk". not really that nong ago. haha. it was like a mth ago? cant remember.

nong nong ago... : 1 of singapore idol contestant sang it this way. really! got subtitles one. haha!

dylan is now so typically lazy like his mummy! haha. that day grandma gave dylan 3 choices, milk, water and pacifier. when grandma show him milk, dylan waved his hand "no". he did the same thing when grandma showed him water. and when grandma showed him pacifier, he shaked happily and open his mouth wide. but grandma wanted him to put it into his mouth himself. and guess wat, he screamed and waved his hand "no". haha. he wans the pacifier to be put into his mouth by us and not himself.so lazy right. even till now, he cant hold his bottle or rather he knows how to but just lazy to. sometimes when he is in a good mood he will hold the bottle but once he is tired, he wans u to hold it for him. hopefully he wun be lidat for long. actually he is real smart cos he knows that we'll never let him be. so baby does know that their being very pampered and spoilt by their parents and grands.

anyway dylan now knows how to respond a "no" by waving his hands, bye bye also by waving and opening and closing his fingers. there's lots more that he knows now but lazy to show. if only i have mre time to spend with him. 1 more week and he is 11 months and then soon 1 years old, 2 years old, 5 years old, 10 years old, 16 years old and then *puff* an adult with his family... ...

getting rid of spider webs

2006-07-04T23:51:00.000+08:00

haha. it's been so long. mummy is so busy with work and only has 1 off day per week. the special off day would spend wisely on litte baby dylan!

darling baby dylan is already 10.5 months. he can crawl very well everywhere. his favourite part of the house is definitely the staircase. (fyi, we're living in a masionette.) now he can alsmot walk on his own but the little baby seems to be afraid of falling, so he always prefer to have a bit of a support. nowadays he is also yakking a lot. just now, i think he mumbled "ke yi" which means "can" in chinese. grandma was asking dylan if he could step down the weighing scale on his own and he shout out loud "ke yi!" when his little feet touched the floor. amazing right!

anyway now mummy is already beginning to actually plan for dylan's 1st birthday!!! and its really a big time party bash. haha. sounds fun right? but nah! is just a simple 1 yr old party with lots of people who the birthday boy hardly knows.

hopefully i'll have time for this soon!!!

p.s. dylan likes to drink coke and eat chawamushi! hahahahahahaha...

babies on the go...

2006-05-17T00:01:00.000+08:00

last sat, mummy brought darling dylan to meet up with jerald didi (again!!!) and devon meimei. tiko dylan enjoyed "eating" devon's "tofu". haha. ask him to hug her, he'll look at u with a huge huge smile till his eyes become 2 lines. this time, we tried letting the boys hug again and guess wat, dylan actually got upset! so tiko right. haha. hug girl can but not boy.

anyway we went to paragon and had lots of fun there. esp at toys r us. haha. there was a little tikes see-saw, and it juz nice was a 3 sitter. so the 3 babies enjoyed see-sawing. they even played the slide and swing. the best part is when daddy sat dylan into the little buggy. its like a car, but in a shape of a ladybug??? not sure wat bug was it but its red in colour. daddy happily push dylan all around toys r us in it. as if it was ours but i so wished it was. when jerald sat in a tricycle, dylan wanted to be the "big brother" and push him in it. cute right! baby push baby.

fyi, dylan CAN crawl already!!! but not very good at it yet. his walking skills also not very good. but he is now best in pestering ppl by adding on to the noise pollution. he makes lots and lots of noise wherever he goes.

back to the paragon story... when we were abt to go home, we wanted to sat the babies down in a merry-go-round and it was juz nice again for 3. cuite devon juz sat there while jerald joined in only after a while. poor little dylan was too scare to sit. he grabbed on so tightly to mummy's shirt. perhaps another time.

my precious baby has grown so much and is already coming 1year old. time really flies. i'll definitely miss him as a baby but i'll still enjoy his toddler years when he starts calling "mummy". and hopefully i can enjoy all his "fun".

guess who's back... back again...

2006-05-03T23:15:00.000+08:00

finally i'm free to blog. there's really a lot to say but i dunno where to start. here goes...

1. he got 2 front teeth 1/4 (i think) out already. since 1mth ago? and is stuck since...

2. his learning to stand on his own!

3. he can stand on his own once in a while for a few sec!!

4. he managed to jump while standing on his own!!!

5. he can walk abt 2 steps while standing on his own!!!!

6. his very excited abt learning to walk!!!!!

7. his crusing around around the house but falling a lot.

8. he got new toys. hehe...

9. he knows how to say "ne ne" for milk and "mum mum" for biscuit. but only when he feels like saying it.

10. he knows how to shout real loud. haha. getting noisy at home already.

11. he knows how to look for mummy when i come home from work!!! *touched*

hehe. only got time to summarise all in this as lots i cant remember when and wat happened. will try to post up new stuff asap, esp the photos. dylan has alreayd grown so much and he is almost 9mths old. how exciting to see him standing more and more stable as each day passes. i cant wait for him to walk. toddlers walking are the most adorable thing!

anyway i went for the mattel sales and got dylan 2 new toys! the sales was great but sad too. i didn't really got wat i really really really wanted. haha. seems like i went for a sale for myself but NO! its a toy sale and i was so busy grabbing almost everything that catches my eye.

the saddest thing that is happening now is that mummy gotta work and there's not much time spent with darling dylan. almost everyday before i wake up he'll be already over at my godmum's house. she's taking care of dylan while mummy goes to work. after work sometimes, he'll already be aslp. sadx... so on my off days, i'll bring him out on a shopping spree. haha. not really shopping but spend some time outside with my little darling. i feel that i've missed out too much on dylan's life... i miss being with him 24/7. its really tiring to be a fulltime mum but i really missed it. being able to witness his daily developement is really very much of a treasure. and with every kid u have, everyone is different...

i'll be back... so stay tune...

1st birthday

2006-03-28T14:46:00.000+08:00

today while mummy was eating, she was planning who to invite for dylan's 1st birthday. juz thinking of frenz already got long list. mummy wants to invite lots of ppl! esp those who hav baby around dylan's age. so they can all have fun together. hopefully it'll not turn out to be a disaster ruin by little monsters! guest list will be out only in july, which makes it 3.5 mths from now!

4th in tangerined's cutest kid contest!!!

2006-03-28T14:31:00.000+08:00

so happy dylan got 4th, but really upset that the winner is not cute at all! or at least to me. recently mummy so busy, thats y stopped blogging a while. anyway there's lots to say today!

last thu was mummy's bday! wed was celebration day. brought little dylan out to bugis for a walk den met up with grandma at plaza singapura to let dylan be brought home. poor darling didn't get to join mummy and daddy for a feast at sakae sushi! that day mummy only let me meet up with uncle ah pui and bugs bunny! bugs bunny gave mummy a present, 1 baby pooh and 1 baby eyore which ended up being part of dylan's collection. at ps, we met mummy's fren. she carried dylan and dylan did not cry! miracle!

last sat was suppose to meet up with adelynn and kendy for a 3 little boys swim session. but due to financial constraints, we didn't get to go. but we'll definitely meet up 1 fine day!

yesterday only got 2 things to talk say, first, DYLAN'S FRONT TOOTH IS FINALLY COMING OUT! can feel his gums that the tooth is cutting it's way up! hurray! also wat happenn was auntie tuti went back to indonesia. she was a maid at great grandpa's house. she always played with dylan when we're there. so sad she is going back so soon.

so yesterday dylan went to changi airport to see auntie tuti off. grandma and mummy brought dylan to the viewing mall to see planes. but too bad weather not very good. it was ratehr foggy and quite empty at inside. so nth for dylan to see. anyway he fell aslp not long after he saw an aeroplane. will have to bring dylan there again when he's slightly older, so he'll know how to be mesmorised by the flying "objects".

swimming...

2006-03-20T15:04:00.000+08:00

or rather dylan was in the pool! finally we brought him to the pool. at first he was kinda scare. not sure why cos daddy was carrying dylan close to him. maybe the surrounding made him felt unsecure. he tried sitting in the float but he could not balance. but overall he had a great time although not much expression was expressed. haha. will post his pic tomorrow. so stay tune!

dylan is learning to crawl

2006-03-13T20:36:00.000+08:00

today, dylan finally managed to get himself up in a crawl position. and yes it was definitely, 100% without help from anyone. yeah! funny thing was he didn't move cos he dunno how to crawl. haha. actually the best part was when he tried to move. haha. he only know how to jerk himself forward. it was very amusing seeing him do that. cant imagine when he'll start crawling. think the gates for the stairs have to be up soon!

anyway recently, i've been looking around the hse for a spot to make it dylan's little corner. but there's no area avail! sad!

friday 10mar

daddy and mummy brought dylan to babycare festival! it was very crowded and there was nothing great on sales. or rather nothing on my mind to get. anyway dyaln met up with tasha and zenden! he was happily looking at tasha and even wanted to hold her hand. cute! tasha was also so cute, she seems rather shy when dylan touched her hand. she kept her hands near her chest, away from dylan. haha. before we left, dylan met up with zenden. wow! he is big, not fat but big and definitely cute! both mummies held the babies in front with the babies facing one another. they enjoyed taking turns kicking! cute! hopefully we'll all meet up soon and the babies can all have fun together!

i did it! plus...

2006-03-09T12:41:00.000+08:00

latest update

2006-03-09T00:40:00.000+08:00

i have included a wishlist! finally!

he fell again...

2006-03-08T18:38:00.000+08:00

... yes and it was juz this afternoon! head down again. the first time was on the 18 or 25 feb. he fell off the sofa as daddy tried to get his pacifier and mummy was bz cooking dinner. today dylan fell of the bed while i turn to get the phone. bad mummy, never take good care of baby. naughty boy's awake already. he slept barely half an hr!

the PLASTER incident

2006-03-07T17:29:00.000+08:00

today, stupid mummy cut dylan's finger nails when she accidently cut off the tip of dylan's index finger. surprisingly he did not cry but mummy almost cried. so heart pain. the worst part is that it bled a lot. i think the blood dried up but naughty dylan peeled it off and it bleed again! end up i had to plaster it up. both daddy mummy and everything he came in contact had blood stains. heart pain! my poor darling! i dun dare to cut his nails again. so scary seeing the amount of blood he loss!

PAPA & MAMA

2006-03-07T17:06:00.000+08:00

last sunday, dylan went "papa papa papa..." while i was trying hard to wake daddy up. so exciting! i'm not sure if he actually understand wat he said. haha. its ok if he calls daddy first as long as he knows "mama"

monday morning, while i was bathing, dylan was left sitting on the bed with daddy looking after him. he went "mama mama" he kept quiet after daddy say "mama bathing". cute! his only coming 7mths and he did it!

at first, of cos u not sure if he understands wat he said. but i guess he does understands a bit. today daddy brought us to lunch at Mac, dylan wanted to eat his hand when i scolded him, cos there was a plaster on his finger. (will get to the "plaster" incident in a while.) so he went "papa @#$%^&%$# papa papa..." it seemed like he was saying "papa i wan to eat papa papa..." haha! in the end he ate fillet o fish. haha. the burger and a small slice of fish meat.

last sunday, dylan attended his first dinner. not wedding dinner but pasir ris cc ladies night celebration. god grandfather got a table for 10 ppl. so godmum, god uncle dickson, 3rd & 5th grand aunt and our whole family was invited. dylan had his first taste of f&n orange, ice cold water, kong ba bao's bao. nowadays he is trying so many new food. and he loves it!

the dinner was really interesting. but the music was a bit too loud for dylan to accept so he wanted to go out of the hall. there was a toddler who kept wanting to play with dylan. so cute! but it resulted the toddler beat dylan for unknown reasons??? luckily its juz a little smack on the hands. dylan also had his very 1st encounter with our Minister of Defence Mr Teo. i was carrying baby dylan outside the hall loking out of a window to see the busy road hwne Mr Teo approached. he asked me abt dylan den played with him. when he touched dylan's back, dylan stared wide eyes like "who are u? do i know u?". it took dylan a min to smile back.

so thats how his first dinner got about! he enjoyed himself, of cos.

New Skin!!!

2006-03-02T01:28:00.000+08:00

today i've learned to change and edit the blogskin. of cos not forgetting dearest Adelynn. without her help, i doubt i ever figure this out till i'm dead. or rather i'm so lazy and she so happens to have all the info needed.

poor dylan, again after his jab, his thigh is not very good. a bit bruise and the area feels kind of hard. worst is he poo so much times. even colour and smell different. (i'm not being disgusting, but as a mum to a baby, u need to observe their poo for any problem!) hopefully he'll be ok soon. poor thing, he cried a lot. juznow, after grandma pat him to slp, he managed to slp soundly for abt anhr b4 he suddenly burst into loud cries. he cried for like half an hr. my poor baby has 2 red eyes and a red nose.

this afternoon, or rather evening, dylan was so smart. i wanted to secretly take shots of him. cos if u were to get him to pose for the camera, he'll not show his chubby cheeks. so i decided to secretly snapped him. after the 1st shot, he knew there'll be more of it. (mummy luv taking photos!) i kept the camera out of his sight, but he kept coming towards me trying to locate the "flash monster". haha. too bad, he didn't get to find the camera. but most of the pics, can see he is already facing straight into the camera. very smart of dylan right? will upload the pics asap.

Dylan's shopping list prepared by Mummy!

2006-02-28T23:14:00.000+08:00

i've been like eyeing so many toys for so long. every since before i had dylan, i alreayd had in mind wat i wanna buy. and wats that? toys! haha nothing in particular but juz toys, in general. so here's a little list of wat i wanna buy for dylan. it'll be temporary only. i still blog sotong so got to take a while den can set up wishlist which is my shopping list. hehe. so ppl if u wanna buy toy for dylan for his coming bday (which is like 5mth and 13days later) here's a list of toys which u can help me transfer them to the "bought list". hehe.

1. Fisher Price Bird Bath - i've been searching for this for so long.
2. books - those cloth kind ones, for dylan to chew.
3. a tricycle - i only know its the best, alreayd have the idea 1 in mind.
4. Fisher Price Learning Table - its a cool toy u know.
5. Fisher Price Drum - cool too. encourages bb to crawl.
6. Fisher Price Peek a Blocks - prefably full range or at least something fun.
7. Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds - something more fun den the turtle.

by the way, i'm a huge fan of Fisher Price's toys. definitely cos they have lots of award winning toys. wat it means is, the toys are like 100% safe for babies and not only is it for play, its also for them to learning. thats why baby toys are important. haha. i sound like the spokeswoman of Fisher Price. but its true i love their toys and i hopei can have all the infant toys in full range. haha. i think i can collect them and in my future house, i shall create a room full of the FP toys. maybe i den can be a babysitter. haha. i think babies wun get bored with the toys i have! maybe the see the words "Fisher Price" they already faint. haha.

i believe in "paying for wat u get". meaning, u pay high price but u get good stuff. thats why dylan's full of avent stuff. even food best is the organic ones. very fortunate to be my baby right. haha. it's always best to start good. so in future, he wun have so much health or wat so ever problems. hopefully i wun feed him till his over nourished. oh my god! my spelling is getting bad. so many words i ha to think twice before typing! by the way, my kuku fingers always make typo errors. brain not functioning as well as before. think i "aged" x10 after giving birth.

anyway the above list is a neverending one. those written are juz a start. hopefully i dun keep adding on. poor daddy muz work so hard to help me clear this neverending list and to satisfy me, a shopping freak.

hehehe...

2006-02-28T00:09:00.000+08:00

did i mentioned that dylan can sit upright without support? anyway, i'm so happy he finally did it! 2 sundays ago he did it.

poor dylan today finally went for his jab. his 8.8kg and his height was not recorded by the doc. will try to measure him tomorrow. this time he cried when he was jabbed. poor thing. but when he saw the doc, he was real happy. no idea why everytime he is so happy to see the doc. he never fails to smile whenever he sees his doc.

anyway i've yet to bring him for a swim! bad mummy keep delaying. daddy keep pestering mummy to go but i dun have the mood for water. cos i cant wear a bikini ever again. the stretchmarks left behind are to horrible. sad.

i'm also learning to make my blog look much nicer. got to find a good time to do it.

bolster = ba ba

2006-02-15T14:24:00.000+08:00

yesterday dylan was so cute. he was sitting in his walker when daddy took his bolster. as dylan reached out trying to take his bolster, he cried out "ba ba". haha. baby talk right, but no. when daddy asked him (pointing to the bolster) "wat is this?", h replied first with his yaks and den"ba ba". haha. he sounded like. "i wan it! give it to me! give me back my ba ba!" the first thing he officially named, his bolster as "ba ba".

recently at night, dylan kept crying and just wanna suck on the pacifier and refuse milk. sometimes in the day time, he dose that too. he even refuse cereal and water at times. today, he refuse cereal and juz kept drinking water. after that he fell aslp.

looking a him aslp is so adorable. he has a habit of slping with a pacifier. not long after he slp, the pacifier fell off and his mouth was left opened. suddenly his tongue moved (sucking pacifier style) but cos there was no pacifier, it looked very funny. den i noticed his legs, they seem to have slim down slightly. so heart pain. my bb has bearly passed 6mth and he already slimmed down quite a lot. how i wish i can feed him more milk so he can be more chubby. haha. but as long as his healthy its ok. who would expected him to be so active since 3mth? thus the slimming down so soon.

yesterday darling dylan spent his first valentine's day with daddy and mummy loitering around tampines mall and century square. haha. cos daddy insist to watch movie without baby so gotta bring him home early thats y no choice to go the nearest place. end up grands came over to have dinner together and brought him home. by the time we went home after the movie he was already in deep slp. juz like now.

sometimes i wish he can grow up faster but sometimes i wish he can be a baby forever, cos he'll be so tiny and so cuddly.

6 months old!!!

2006-02-13T18:55:00.000+08:00

dylan is 6mth old today! and his teeth are still not out. they seem to be "on the way" when he was abt 5mth old. but i guess got some big "traffic jam" thats why delay a bit. "jamed" between "customs"! argh! making him and i going nuts. wonder when will they be out.so excited! haha! was telling hb we can order pizza and celebrate dylan's 1st tooth. guess wat he said, "u watch too much tv liao. better stop watching so much." haha.

yesterday, dylan when to great grandparents house with grandparents. he left home at abt 2.30pm and came home at abt 10.30pm. he moment he reached home. he was so happy to see daddy and mummy. the moment daddy carry him, he went yakking non-stop abt ????????? haha. we guess it should be all abt wat he did at great grandparents house. the cutest thing was as he talked, there was so much expressions and feelings involved. when i carried him to continue his *ahem* story, he started to cry as he yak yak yak... so i asked him if anyone bullied him and he nodded. haha! he was like telling me who and how he was bullied. poor darling. so young already know how to lie!!! haha. i dun believe any of his grandaunts would bully him. he was simply much more precious den a diamond to them. the only person i can imagine bullying him would be his n***! who else but her! so mad! anyway back to dylan's yak yak yak... he juz kept yakking for like 1/2 an hour? not sure but i'm definitely sure it was a loooooooooong yakking sesssion for daddy and mummy.

today, when dylan went on his walker, he started his yak yak session again. haha. he was like walking around the living yakking to everything, except me. =_=" anyway i did something to him today. muahahaha... i put him on the floor in crawling position and he held himself up for at least 10sec. hurray! but he cant move. haha. cant imagine wat will the house be like when dylan starts to crawl.

really miss those times when he was bearly as long as his bolster. and now he is already so much longer and bigger den his bolster. one day i muz take a pic of dylan and his bolster and compare it to the newborn pic. those were the days... blah blah blah... haha... i'm going nuts after the flu virus thingy. to end this up...

HAPPY VALENTINE

Sick!

2006-02-08T13:54:00.000+08:00

my poor little darling is sick. last night he had fever at 38.3degress C. gave him his babay panadol and the fever went down. but late last night while he was slping, he had running and blocked nose. not too sure which it is but its does kind that u few ur nose is blocked and yet the mucus are all flowing out. how i know? this morning when i woke up to see dylan's face, the area arounda his nose was full of harden brown mucus. even his bedsheets was quite badly stained. poor thing. last night he was like crying hourly and each time i had to wake up to comfort him to slp. luckily nth bad happened. actually last nigh i also didn't quite get to slp cos was very worried if he can breath, but i feel that since he can slp for at least an hour b4 crying again, it doesn't seem to be that bad. so i at least manage to catch 10winks every here and there.

this morning after see my poor darling face full of mucus, i quickly gave him milk, changed and clean him up before going to the pd. dr said bb might have caught some virus from some sick ppl. wondering who pass the germs. but i feel its me who passed him the germs cos recently my nose problem came back. lots of problem slping at night. but its been over at least a week b4 dylan got sick. maybe he got gd immune system and after a long battle, he finally got the virus.

dr prescribed dylan 3 medications. 1 for running nose, 1 for cough and 1 nose drops. smart baby once tasted medicine immediately started to spit everything out from his mouth. feeding him 2 medicine was 100x more difficult den feeding him cereal. end up i had to force everything into his mouth. poor dylan was screaming and choking. but at least he got 3/4 of each medicine down. gd enough i think. only thing is the nose drop. hmm... the nurse didn't say drop into both nosetrils or juz 1. so i didn't drop. cos i'm afrais of over dosing him. but if its my medicine, i'll juz drop both side, cos over dose by a drop wun kill me but for bb, i'm scared. dun dare to anyhow do things.

now bb dylan is slping and his breathing, can still hear its quite badly blocked, so poor thing. oops, his awake. gotta attend to the little sick one.

2006-02-07T18:44:00.000+08:00

Dylan is almost 6months old

2006-02-06T15:34:00.000+08:00

another 7 days, dylan will be 6mths old. thats real fast. in another 6 mths time, dylan sill be 1 year old. really very fast. recently so much to do yet so little time. mummy got to go back to work and will be missing out dylan's part II growing up.

anyway, i've been thinking of the perfect bday gift for darling dylan. toys and clothes will be wat i'm getting for him for the rest of his life, or at least almost half of his life. so its a no-no. i'm thinking os making a huge book of dylan when as a baby. so in future he can see how much he has grown. but i find its kinda late to start now. cos it'll be missing lots of newborn pictures. so unplanned but i'm still hoping its possible to do it. just gotta edit and cut short lots of stuff. wonder 12 pages maybe A3 will be enough. 1 page on each mth's developement. hmm... think i gotta start joting down all his little surprises. and got to recall all his past wonders. if it works out den i'll post up to share with everyone. wish me good luck! oops, forgot abt something. mummy is going to diy on some pics. hopefully after not drawing for 2years, my skill wont deplete on its own. no time no time!

Gong Xi Gong Xi

2006-02-01T14:36:00.000+08:00

so fast 1st 3 days of chinese new year is over. dylan was so thrilled with the ang bao collection. every ang bao he grabbed, he wouldn't wanna let go. haha. this year chinese new year a bit corked up so didn't take much pic. have a pic of him in his little emporer cloths. haha. will up load them asap. today finally can relax sit at home.

Chinese New Year Eve:
we went over to grand aunt liz giant house for dinner and that was dylan's first time seeing a dog. dunno wat breed it is but dylan was practically staring at it the whole night.

Chinese New Year Day 1:
went over to grand aunt liz giant house again. this time for lunch and ang bao collection. saw doggy again. when nana came to pick us up, the moment she press "ding dong", the doggy went bizzare! he kept on barking. when we left he kept barking too. uncle peter say the dog goes mad when ppl come and go. weird right. brave dylan was not in the least scare of the "mad" dog!

nana came to pick us up to another 3rd grand aunt's house. 3rd grand aunt house always very crowded cos its full of kids. 2 baby, a boy and a girl abt 1 mth younger den dylan and 6 kids older den dylan. this year still very boring. nest year its going to be very much more noisy cos the 3 bb would be abt 1year old. hopefully they wun fight. haha.

Chinese New Year Day 2:
we went over to great grandma house. this year very unusual ocs it was so quiet. usually all my cousins, married with kids would be there. at night we went over to daddy's place. at there, dylan enjoyed seeing the ceilling lights and fishes. wanted to intro the piano to him but he showed no interested at all. think cos there was nth him to grab. haha. he was trying to grab the piano keys.

Chinese New Year Day 3:
usually day 3 would be back to sch. but this year its a replacement public holiday! actually suppose to have a gathering at home but end up only 2 can make it so it was canceled. den we planned to go over to daddy's nanny's house and 4th grand aunt's house. when we called during noon, no one was in. so thought we would spend the whole day at home playing game. end up, nana came to pick us up to 4th grand aunt's house for dinner. but before that, we went over to daddy's place again cos nana had to play host to her old kampong friend. 4th grand aunt cooks real well. toobad baby dylan didn't get to try. next year den he can try the good food she cooks. yummy!

so that's how we spend our new year and today, we're going to pick grandma from the airport. she went to Bangkok during New Year with all the grand aunts. wonder if they got any goodies for dylan.

to end today's crap, dylan to TEETHING! no idea how many teeth is coming out or rather is it reallt teeth coming out. can see the bottom front gums kinda whitish. not too sure. will be seeing the pd nest week. hopefully its teeth and not some kind of viral attack!

The Arrival of Dylan's New Pram And Gates!

2006-01-27T11:53:00.000+08:00

last sat went to baby kingdom to get dylan a new pram. cos his current pram is a cheapo and seems like its gonna collaspe anytime! when we were there, we also saw the safety gates. so bought them too, anyway need a minimum purchase of $300 den have delivery service and its free! my blog is back to english! hurray! took a very hard and long time to locate the "language" button.

recently, problem number 1, taking care of dylan is very tiring. now that he can turn over and wriggle, i have to keep an eye on him every min. so have to keep on coaxing him to sleep so i can do my stuff. problem number 2, his milk intake is getting so much lesser. he use to have 4 feeds at 7oz each. but now he takes only 3 feeds and his 3rd feed usually never finish! its a big difference from a 28oz/day to a <20oz/day!!!>

Last Crap Of The Day!

2006-01-26T16:00:00.000+08:00

this will be last post of the day. after not posting for so long, i thought it would be nice to add abit more crap today. haha.

actually there's lot to say about dylan. he has learn so much in this past month. now he finally learn to flip from stomach to back and vice versa! most of all, he finds it a joy to do it. he also learned to wriggle on the bed, juz like an earthworm! when he's looking, he'll stick his head out like a turtle. once his face is flat on the bed, u'll know its when he wanna wriggle. pretty soon he'll be crawling. will try to take a video of the little wormy! haiz. time really flies.

now he's alos learning to hold his bottle! there was once when he held it himself and of cos with my help here and there. here's to proof.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

last but not least, my dylan is learning hard to sit! he actually held on there for quite a while! he is juz so incredible, to me of cos!

oh of cos, to end today's session, i wanna add in a bit of the LIKE FATHER LIKE SON! haha!

END

joshua kor kor bday party

2006-01-26T15:48:00.000+08:00

dylan was invited to joshua's 1st birthday and dyaln had a great time. or so i assume, haha. he did not quite wanna slp although u could tell that he was really very tired as in the early afternoon, he was so excited that he wouldn't even take a nap. at joshua's party, he made a new friend or rather met a friend. guess who is he? its jerald. the 2 of them were so cute. although they dunno how to befriend each other yet, but i guess somehow they befriended each other. baby talk u know, no one can ever understand except themselves. jerald's mummy then came up with a funny idea of letting them hug. haha. very interesting thing to do. when they were cheek to cheek, jerald started "kissing" dylan. lol. and dylan was so blur, so dunno wats going on. luckily we caught a few shots. here's to prove that jerald is not scared of dylan and dylan is afraid of jerald! haha. enjoy!

look how worried and fierce they are!

maybe we should do more of this so dylan dun get all so tight up over hugging another baby boy. haha. looking at the pic, i wonder how would they react 20years down the road, assuming they're both friends and looking at this pic together. gay? haha. Buddies!

the last blog was real long ago

2006-01-26T15:20:00.000+08:00

something is very wrong with my blog! its all in chinese! wat happened?

anyway so much have happened within this month. dylan is already 5mth! yeah! but he is starting to slim down because he is getting very active. when i first bought him his walker, his little feet cant touch the ground and now he is happily reversing and "crabbing" around the house. y "crabbing", because he is going sideways like a crab. haha. another thing he learned was to flap his arms like he is trying very hard to fly. haha. everyday he'll do that when he is bored. no idea where he learned that from as i dun keep birds in the house and so far to wat i know, no one had taught him to do so either. hmm...

now that chinese new year is around the corner or rather 2 days more, of cos i've gotta dylan all his beautiful new clothes. let me try insert a pic here. its bought by grandma at orchard tower.

nice rite? hehehe!

yeah! i did it! actually it was suppose to be blue but the blue kinds sux so she bought the yellow. look more like emporer clothes. i've bought 2 tops and another pair of jeans for dylan from fox baby, and his god-grandma bought him 5 rompers from mothercare. cool rite! his got so much new clothes! oh! grandma also "made" me pay for 3 new pyjamas for dylan when we were out shopping for supposedly shoes. poor darling lost 1 side of his piglet shoe. it is so cute and i really love it. anway now he got 4 pair of shoes.

Long Time NO Blog

2005-12-22T14:03:00.000+08:00

recently have really been busy. preparing for christmas? nah. busy playing maple. haha. yesterday i so suay lost 100k for going somewhere. worst was i didn't even have money to go back. had to ask someone for money. luckily got a nice guy lend me a helping hand. or else i can start another character. cos the area i got stuck is full of monsters so high level that i cant hit.

oops! haha. this blog is suppose to be about dylan and not me and my maple. haha.

hmm... let's see wats there to write about dylan... ... ... ... ah huh! got something already. my mum's australian fren, Liz, send dylan a christmas stocking. its baby blue in colour with a little polar bear. there's also 2 words on it "Baby's First". indeed its first. first christmas present he received and first stocking. he likes it cos yesterday when i didn't let him look at it, he cried. christmas is juz this weekend and i've yet to get dylan a present and bring him to see the christmas lighs at orchard again. bad mummy.

20 dec, dylan went for his 4th mth jab. so fast 4mths rite. and someone or rather a bunny still owe my bb a present!!! haha. after his jab, my poor darling got a blood clot at his thigh at the jab area. he was so cranky all the way till yesterday. juz now still can feel the clot. its so hard! all i can do is see him cry in pain and can only try my best to help. hopefully the clot can go off soon. poor little darling of mine. sobx.

Xmaz Coming!!!

2005-12-15T17:17:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, Dylan got to see Christmas lights at Orchard Road. He was happy but too bad he only managed to see a bit (all thanks to his gong gong). So, will be bringing him to Orchard again next week. Hopefully the next time, he can stay awake to see the lights longer. Actually thinking of bringing him to sit the Duck(or is it Hippo) tour thing. Sit at the 2nd deck of the bus can see the lights better, but the price a bit pricey. Now he dont really know how to enjoy, so i think can save the money first, next year den bring him go see.

Today, his Ah Ma bougt him a very nice traditional Chinese New Year clothing, it's golden-yellow in colour. Heopfully, during CNY, he can wear it, or it would be so wasted. argh! Dylan juz cried! Again!!! Finally, back.

Last Night really regret, cos everyone went out and no one remembered the d-cam!!! No pic at all, cos as we walked from Far East Plaza to HMV, its near Dylan milk time(7.45pm). So got no chance to stop at take any pic. Then, we left HMV(8.50pm) for Paragon and was stuck at Aussino again(till 9.30pm). When we about to leave, I saw another baby in a pram wearing Levi's rompers and jeans, same as Dylan, but Dylan had additional Bayb bandana and piglet shoes. Hopefully, i can upload pics into this bloggy. Where my service pack 1!!! Cant install the nokia usb cable thingy. Gotta wait till the weekends.

Just Another Day

2005-12-09T16:46:00.000+08:00

thats the bb i miss!!! so tiny!!!

today is juz another day that will be over soon. surprisingly today dylan is such a good boy. last night he slept at 1.30am (as usual), this morning he woke up at 9.30am (not usual). took his nap at 12noon, woke up at 2.20pm and now back to dreamland. he is such an angel today.

time do really pass fast, in 5days time, he will be 4mths old which is time for his 2nd 5in1 jab. how i wish he was still a new born. so tiny and... skinny. he used to be so tiny that i could carry him so perfectly with 1 arm. now he is huge, not exactly huge but heavy! now that dylan wun bother me, its time to try to insert photo! hope i can make it.

Disney Channel

2005-12-08T14:25:00.001+08:00

Today i let Dylan watch tv, Disney Channel. I have no idea what is the programme name but it was for toddlers, so it doesn't quite matter to me the name. He happily watched his show, or at least i think he was watching, while I had my lunch. Thinking of the show really very funny. There was this Baby Dinosaur, he cannot eat his banana fudge cos he cant find his "speacial" spoon. So 2 ants, which are thebabysitters for Baby Dinosaur, called in reinforcements to look for the "special" spoon. When the "special" spoon was retrieved, Dylan cry. I dont know why but I feel that whenever something good happens, Dylan will cry. Seems like he is happier seeing the Baby Dinosaur crying then seeing him smiling. Or maybe cos he saw Baby Dinosaur able to eat but he cant. Totally no idea cos i dont even know if he was watching the tv or staring at his feet. Haha. Luckily now he is taking his afternoon nap, so i can relax in front of the computer. Argh! He has woke up and is trying to move (he is sleeping on his stomach). Superman. Baby Alert!

Take 2

2005-12-07T15:53:00.000+08:00

Let's try this again. Now Dylan is sleeping and his friend, Klein is on his way out to this world. His mummy till now is still so relax. Hmm... Thinking back, I was also something lik that. After my waterbag burstat 4am, I slept till 5am when i started to have slight contractions and backaches. Then i felt really weird, like something really not right, so i got out of bed. The moment i moved, I could feel like a pool of water going to gush out, so i had to ran to the toilet. Haha, i was holding on to my 34" huge tummy as i ran for the toilet. I didn't even have time to close the door. (Dylan screamed, cos of nightmare?) Back to storytelling: I sat on the toilet bowl with open doors for half an hour. (Dylan keep cyring!) Too much water in the waterbag. Haha, must complain. Half an hour later i manage to get out to get a maternity pad. Then i kept hesitating whether to tell my parents. 5mins later, contractions getting worst, but not at regular time. So I woke my mum up. She thought it was just false alarm and told me to time my contractions and go back to sleep. I kept pestering them till about 6am when my dad was woken up by me and asked me what had happened. I told him my waterbag burst. Immediately they ask me to go change and get admitted. At about 6.30am, very pain, its getting unbearable and we finally left home. Reached kkh at 7am and immediately admitted to Delivery Suite. Let's not go into details anymore. As i was saying, i also delay about 3 hours after waterbag burst before admitting. Now i wannw test adding a pic. Hope it works. Oops! Forgotten that my photo hosting thingy not up yet. Haha. Another time then. Dylan getting grumpy cos mummy ignore him for com.

Dylan is Handsome

2005-12-06T16:05:00.000+08:00

Lame title, i know. That's what happens when Dylan is crying and mummy is trying hard to blog. Now i even have to carry him and type. So scare that he'll puke on me anytime now. Argh! Anyway, thanks a lot to Adelynn that now my profile has a pic. Haha. I spend so much donkey time trying to figure out the pic thingy. She took only a couple of mintues to settle it for me. Now got so much new stuff to do and learn. Manage to put him down for a minute and now he is unhappy. Got to go, Dylan crying for carry.

When will i have time to figure out all this???
