Jasper @ 13 mths old

Jasper has been growing well, he has been eating very well and can now finish up 2 bowls of his food. He loves his fruits (i.e. blueberries, kiwi, papaya, strawberries and cherries) and can't go without them.  We brought him to swim again the other day and he simply loves the water, he wanted us to let go of him and tried to dip his head into the water! Anyway he is getting more and more mobile and curious each day!

The Boy Turns One!

It has been a year since this little bubbly boy was born. We celebrated his 1st birthday last Sunday on 21 Aug 2011, with some relatives and friends. He was thrilled and happy to meet everyone. Food was from e-creative and cake from Pine Garden (chose a Disney Car / Mickey theme).  Thanks everyone for the Birthday Ang Bao and Present!

Photoshoot

Bought a group-buy package with Benjamin from Foto-u yet again.  Ha ha was too lazy to try another new photographer since I knew he could do the job fairly well with the kids.

Booked a session with him on 8 Aug @ 130pm sometime after lunch and before the kids had their noon nap.  The shoot was more for the boy since I like to capture their baby looks at this point of time... did the same for Hazel when she was 10 mths old. The kids were good for almost 80% of the 1hr shoot, but nearing the end of the shoot no.1 was already feeling restless and and no.2 yawning. O well but we sure got quite a no. of great shots of no.2 as well as a few nice family ones.

Will be getting back 2 8R pics and all the pics in high resolution. Thereafter will be making it into a photobook.

He's actually tickled by the furry carpet



Love this Brother-Sister Picture

My Lil Baby is now Lil Boy

Jasper @ 11 months

The boy has turned 11 months and he is fast becoming active and mobile. He hates to be placed in anything that will restrict his exploration and loves to open drawers, cupboards doors etc. The little boy is also starting to be abit clingy to mummy dearest here, as he shows preference towards who should carry and feed him.

Physically & Mentally

• Able to suck from straw cup
• Crawls very well, belly off the ground
• Loves to explore on his own and dislikes being place in a confined space ie the cot/playpen for too long

Language & Emotions

• Shows stronger separation anxiety- cries when he sees certain strangers
• Starting to assert his demands and throw tantrum

Feeding/Sleeping

• Sleeps about 12 hrs; with 2 naps (1 short am nap 45mins-1hr and 1 long pm nap 2hrs)
• He has started to stretch his demand for middle of the night milk till 4am; previously was 2am. So maybe after he turns 1 he may soon drop this milk feed?

Down with a cold

We're down with the flu bug... it started with Big Sister having a fever accompanied by a bad cold and cough, thereafter I caught the cold bug and now Little Jasper is down with fever and runny nose- his poor nose is blocked and has to breathe through his mouth! Yesterday night his fever went up to 39 degrees, but fortunately after medication and sponging it went down and he was able to sleep and drink.  Today is Day 2 and we just brought him to see the Dr.  Hope he gets well soon, foresee he'll be having difficulty eating, drinking and sleeping...

Doc's Prescription:
Dexchlorpheniramine 2.5ml x 3 daily
Prospan cough syrup 2.5ml x 3 daily
Nasal Drops
Fever Medication
