Blogger out of office

It's been a while since I've posted updates on the boy... all because I was sick and had to be hospitalised right after CNY!  Talk about my kids falling sick I also didn't escape the sick bug, had severe tonsillitis which resulted me having fever for almost a week. Saw the GP prior to being hospitalised but I think the bug was too super that the meds couldn't work and I started to vomit.  So in order not to spread to anyone at home and ensure speedy recovery I checked myself into the hospital. After 6 days 5 nights of drip, antibiotics, paracetamol and rest at Mt A. I finally got to go home to my family.

Thereafter I've been busy with work and the kids as such too tired to blog - after they have all gone to bed I also KO. So this explains my non updates for the blog...

So here I am finally and hopefully back at blogging.

First CNY

The boy was well behaved for his 1st CNY visitations.  He KO-ed at 630pm on Day 1 and for the rest of the CNY he was all too happy to go visit the relatives.

So happy at the sight of beer!

Playtime

The boy just loves putting everything into his mouth!  He also loves to cover his face with any cloth he can get hold of and he'll squeal with delight when he cant see- but it's kind of dangerous so when he's alone we don't put any cloth / blanket near him. I would say he's more playful than his older sister and he really likes it when people talk and play with him.   Oh and during the CNY week the boy manage to turn from his tummy position to his back - good job!



Teethers for my little man

Saw these 2 very cute sesame street teethers online and thought it would  be great for my little man since he loves grabbing things and putting them into his mouth. I've just recieve it yesterday and I can't wait for him to try them, he has been using his 姐姐's combi teether which he loves to bits.

The News and our Babe

This morning, 2 articles in the ST newspaper caught my attention -  "Coughs, cold, fever at epidemic level" and " Baby died while lying on tummy".  While the first article explains why my kids were down with the flu bug last week, the 2nd article is really sad, especially when Jasper is around the same age as the baby. 

Now that the boy loves to tug and grab things, we are very wary of the napkins, blankets and pillows on his bed- just the other day we found him with the napkin covering his face, also he's into turning on his side / tummy while sleeping so we have to check on him more often.  We really have to be alert and keep our eyes on our baby, cause at this young age they are so helpless and their actions are so fast, you never know what they're up to the next minute!

Today we brought him to the PD for his 2nd 5-in-1 jab, Dr asked about his milk intake and sleep patterns, we told him the boy was drinking ok and able to sleep during the night. Anyways his progress was normal and no major issues. We'll wait till after CNY to see the surgeon about his swollen lymph node, most likely we'll remove it.

Good Morning! Still in his Jammies before we head out for the PD.
