Jasper @ 15 months old

The boy started to take his few steps around 15 months old and before we knew it he is now walking on his 2 feet.  He loves making turns and is walking quite steadily; up and down little steps; and carrying balls etc while walking.  He also likes to "talk" to us and he has begun to understand and follow instructions i.e. sit down; take "chu chu"; bye bye- he will say bye and wave hands; go kai kai - he will walk to the shoe rack to get his shoe.  He is really cute nowadays and his cheeky smile will melt your heart :P

New Paper Big Walk 2011@RWS

Brought the Kids to The New Paper Big Walk as they were having it at Resorts World Sentosa this year, so we thought it would be interesting for the kids.  Weather was quite good - breezy and cloudy, the kids did quite well throughout the walk not much complains except stopping to snack occasionally, but I think they very much preferred the sand play at the beach after walk... :)

Outdoor Fun @ Jurong Central Park

Had a great Sunday morning with the kids. First - Macs Breakfast to fill our tummys and latter quick play at the park!

Stomach Flu

Yesterday our dear son suddenly vomited out all of his dinner while drinking his bedtime milk.  Could tell his stomach was churning and that it was not due to choking or coughing.  He vomited another 2 times while I was trying to put him back to sleep, and later on every hour.  Quickly searched online for some info on vomiting and got some useful info from Dr Sears.  Really nothing much for us to do but wait out for him to stop vomiting and than give him fluids.  It could either be a case of food poisoning or stomach flu. Fortunately he stopped vomitting after 2am and drank about 80ml of water before going back to sleep .  We monitored his temperature and vomiting throughout the rest of the night, and while he had no signs of fever the next morning we brought him to see the PD anyhow to get a thorough check as well as medication.  PD told us that he caught a minor stomach flu and should take some time to recover, so in the meantime to give him small meals and drink. 

Post Illness :

Anyway the chirpy boy was fine thereafter, just lost his appetite for the next couple of days. Didn't even have to take any of the prescribed medications.  The bug however spread to Big Sister and she had it a bit worse than him- in terms of vomiting more and having a fever.  Luckily it was a minor stomach flu for both of them, cause I know how terrible it feels to keep having to vomit uncontrollably.

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!
