Kolby surprised me again by picking up a raisin and put in his mouth and he chew it before swallowing it. Why do I feel surprised with his action? Remember he was once refer to KKH because of his not good motor skill   and fine motor skill and his slow weight gain. Within a month, he is able to start independently, knowing how to use a pen to scribble and also picking up a raisin and feed himself. Maybe his weight gain is still not ideal as I don’t monitor his weight and height gain. Other than this, he is doing very well. I am glad that I trusted my mother instinct and did not bring him to   unnecessary assessment. I understand that the doctor in polyclinic mean well and they have to follow the procedure, but no doubt, it is also adding extra stress to the parents. I have colleagues who will see from the health booklet what is the age and things that a child can do and practice them with her child in order not to fail the assessment. Of course it is good to ...

It was a busy june and july for me. Sending Charis everyday to student care and rush to work during june holidays, taking day off to bring the kids out for some fun and as soon as the holiday ended, my green belt training start. It means that every morning is a mad rush to send gregory and kolby to my mom house and go to changi north for my GB training. Lucky it is only for a week. However in 2 week time, the madness will come back again for another 4 days. Quite like the green belt course, good to be back to study. Feel happy to learn more thing. Kolby started walking without help. This mean more work for me, maybe I will lose fats more.. haha When Kolby went for his 12 mth old vaccine, he was measured too small build and motor skills not good. He was referred to kkh kid specialist, but I did not bring him for review. I find that he is doing well, he is able to scribble with a pen right after I showed him how although he still cannot take up a raisin. I will teach him that too. ...

So fast, Kolby is 11 month old now. 1 month more and he will be 1 year old. At 11 month old, he is doing well though he is rather small build compared to his peers. Remember he was sick for a week, after since then, he has become extra more sticky to me to the extent that I cannot be out of his sight. He used to be ok when I asked Charis or hubby to look after or play with him while I do housework. Now, NO WAY! He will crawl or move toward me if he hears that I ask Charis or hubby to come over to my side. Oh dear, I was so shocked when he did it. We experienced a few times with Charis, and he really fast hand fast leg crawl to me and hug me like a koala bear. Sometimes I wonder is it because I latch him always. Hubby said Kolby only recognize me as his milk machine, but I think Kolby simply love me too much~~ At 11 month old he can do quite a few things: Kiss goodbye Wave goodbye Say mama, jiejie, baba, nehneh, bird bird Listen to instruction like ...

Kolby is 9 month old today. He is getting more and more cheeky. Learning to walk around in his playpen and demand attention always, in fact more like fighting with his jiejie and korkor for attention. Love his food sweet, pumpkin, sweet potato, papaya, peach, apple and banana. Seriously for my 3rd child, I am lazy in preparing his food. I do not steam his fruit before making into puree and he actually tried papaya juice from fruit stall. Apple taste sweeter without steaming it and he loves it. Plum is very sour but he still eat it. Peach and papaya and sweet potato are his favourite. No instant cereal for him as he does not like to drink water and suffered bad constipation before, I skip giving him cereal. Only porridge and sip of water as and when and his favourite breastmilk. 9 month of breastfeeding, he still prefer to latch directly rather than bottle feeding. I doubt I can stop breastfeed at 1 yr. So long he likes it, I will continue to latch him until he decides to self wean. Las...

Today, Kolby is 28 weeks old. I have started him on solid food since last week. He has tried avocado puree, hipp rice cereal and pumpkin puree so far. He doesn't seem to like rice cereal, maybe he find it too bland. He finished up his pumpkin and started to blow bubble when i still continue to feed him. I think he is full. What a way to reject me. =.='" Christmas is approaching but he is down with a flu. I hope he recovers before the party. He is getting more notti everyday and demand attention. He can smile at my smartphone and clap his hands and give me high 5. These few days he is trying to sit up but failed. It is so fun to watch him perform his stances. Life without a maid is terrible. Especially on weekends. I have my mom to help out during the the weekdays, when it comes to weekend, I feel like dying. I am getting more and more auntie look but I can't help it. I have simply no time to look glam. 有心无力。。I have my first facial appointment scheduled. Something ...

Brought Kolby for his 4th mth vaccine yesterday. He weighs 6.4kg and stands 59cm tall which is consider quite small build as he falls in the 25 percentile. I am alright with his small built but what make me more worried is his head circumference is a bit small. Less than 3 percentile, at 4mth old, his head only measures 38cm. There is a small growth  of 3cm from his 3th mth assessment which the nurse asked me to monitor. I did a Google about it, too small head circumference is called Microcephaly. It affects the brain development and it freaks me out. Praying hard that his head grows and he is mainly small head. Kolby looks absolutely well. Or it is too young to tell. I cannot help to think negatively. Love his smile!
