Son's milestone - 13th month

Since he turn 13 months, he is getting more and more interactive.

A few days ago, out of the blue, he started to cover his cheeks. I was puzzled and asked my mom. She said that he actually meant to cover his eyes and he is playing peek-a-boo with us.

Then two days later, he is better able to coordinate his hands and bring to cover his eyes... and then brings his hand down and says "TA" and laugh..

He has also been communicating with us. By pointing his finger to objects that he wanted and places that he wants you to bring him.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night, as per my normal habit, I will give him water first. Usually, he will drink and goes back to sleep. If it is not enough, he will usually toss and turn, afterwhich I will give me milk.

So a couple of weeks ago, when he pointed the direction of the place that I place the milk powder to tell me that he wants his milk, you can imagine how happy I am. Another milestone....

Son is sick

He has the occasional cough which started on last Friday but last night it is a string of cough which I made me decide to bring him to see the PD today.

Doctor said it's quite mild which put me more at ease. I won't want to prolong his suffering and my agony. The memories of feeding/forcing medicine down his throat (that was like 1 month ago when he is down with fever) with him screaming and crying away is still very fresh in my mind.

Last Thursday, 2/8, we brought him for his final (4th) Pneumoccal jab. Cost $170 per jab. Plus $35 consultation. That's $205.

Today I spent another $61 on his running nose/cough. So this month, within one week, the PD earn near $300 from me.. Not to mention that I waited near 2 hours before I can see the PD. And the queue is so... long... More people behind...

Son, you want to consider to be a doctor when you grow up? Good money! Good prospect!

JH is 1 years old!

JH turned one over the weekend. We had 2 mini celebrations with our parents. On Saturday, we celebrated with my parents and his cousins. On Sunday, with my parents-in-laws. Just got him a jelly "cake" on Saturday and a durian cake on Sunday.

Nothing fanciful. Just a cake to mark his turning of one. Maybe next year, when he is older, I'll consider to organise a birthday party for him. For now, I'm simply too tired (and lazy) to do so..

Pics of My Son

Just try to see whether I can log in to blog.. To my surprise, I can. Not sure whether I can log in next time.

These pics were taken when he is 8 months old.

My Son is 5 months old

JH is 5 months old today! I'm so happy.

When he was 4 months old, we took him to a haridresser and cut all his hair. So he is botak now.. However his hair has started to grow but there are 2 spots that seem to grow more hair. Will have to upload the pics next time to show.

He is able to do half-turn from his back and lift his head (for a short while) when his stomach. I'm looking to the day his able to sit... Think that will be when he around 7th months old...

Readings - The Baby Sleep Book

This is the first time I read a non-fiction book (except textbooks) from start to the end. Not that is of much use, because I seem to have forgotten majority of the content. I took around 3 weeks to finish it cos of interruptions from baby.. and of course, I can't read when working..

Overall, it's not a waste reading it as I did learn something out of it. Don't ask me what.. I can't remember now.
