The Final Jab

We brought Kayden for his 18 month jab yesterday. Picked him up from the Childcare at 2.30pm and it was his napping time!! Teacher had to carry him out and thank god he is not those type who will cry and kick up a fuss if someone wakes him up when he's sleeping. =) Gave him some snacks - a piece of cake, and he finished everything! He must be very very hungry from all those naps. LOL.



The whole process at the polyclinic took such a long time because it was his first time there for jab and they need to input all the jab records into the system. But luckily we reached there pretty early and I think those who made the appoinment before us were late and so, we waited less than 2 minutes and it was our turn to go in. =)



Kayden is on the smaller side and his height and weight percentile is under the 3% thingy. The nurse said it is alright and he is growing up well. Reason given, he might be like his Daddy... small bone...
This entry was actually done on 23 Oct 2010!! LOL. Saved and forgot to publish... =p

zoom zoom zoom....

Time pass so fast... 16 weeks zoomed by just like this and I will be back in my garden office next Tuesday! One of my very good colleague revealed that boss will be changing my port folio... I will be handling a lot of internal users when I go back. Sigh... Exposure is good for me but I am not sure if I can handle all the demands... On the other hand, happy that I need not handle my old port folio (which is a bit boring). Don't know if I should be happy or sad about it.

This weekend will be my last one before returning back to office. 112 days (maternity leave) is ending just like this. =(

Come to think of it, I have been back in Singapore for 1 year already. Married for 5 years. First 2 years of marriage, I was in heaven coz I still stayed with my parents and I had all the freedom in the world. =) Next 2 years of marriage, I dropped to human earth coz we shifted to States and I became a "housewife", learning how to cook, etc. The last 1 year of my life, I was in hell. LOL. Well, guess I need not say more why I am "suffering".

Anyway, I am just so glad that Kaleb, like Kayden, is also a smiley baby. I was so afraid that he will "face black black" all the times coz I wasn't very happy when he was in my tum tum. I was full of anger almost everyday. LOL. They say that how we feel and behave during pregnancy will more or less affect the unborn baby. I am glad that I have a bunch of nice colleagues who will listen to my "woes" and laugh the day away with me in office. =) Thanks, girls. Oh, I am also with the company for 1 year already. Means increment is coming. =) not forgetting the year end bonus too. =D

15 Oct 2010 - A Date to Remember

Firstly, on this very day, it was my sister's birthday. Hereby wishing her a belated happy birthday, although I know she is not a fan of my blog. LOL. Seems like those around me don't really read my blog, maybe the things I blog about bores them. LOL.

Kaleb's first day at the Infant Care Centre also happened on this very day. Left him with the teacher in the morning. When I left at 9am, he was still sleeping soundly inside the car seat. I actually stayed at the centre for 1 hour plus, hoping that he would wake up so that I could kiss him good bye. LOL. Went to fetch him in the evening and teachers said he is an easy baby!! (Just like Kayden??) He didn't fuss much and practically he was sleeping the whole day!!! During the times when he was awake, he would be busy smiling to them when they talked to him. =) I am so glad that he didn't give trouble to them.

Gave Kayden packet apple juice after his dinner. This is his occasional treat. LOL. As he was sipping from the straw, he suddenly said his first word...... APPLE!! Coz he saw lots of apples on the packet! Kenneth and I were so happy. Our 1st bundle of joy is finally saying something that makes sense. LOL. He kept saying apple apple apple... non stop. And the 2 of us were grinning from ear to ear, super excited for him. =) The very next day when he woke up, he said TEACHER!! and it was non stop... gosh... I always thought his 1st word will be Daddy or Mummy. LOL. But never mind, at least he is finally talking now. =)

Yesterday in the car, on the way home from childcare, he was reading (or rather holding) a book. He saw strawberry and he went bear-ri bear-ri... he saw banana and he went na-na... na-na.. =) Teacher in school commented that Kayden likes to follow the smartest and guai-est boy in his class. Whatever this boy does, he will do the same. *phew* how glad we are that he didn't choose to follow the naughty ones. LOL.

Side track a bit... Kayden is still very sticky to me! Sigh... and Kenneth doesn't really know how to handle Kaleb... or rather, the baby only wants me at night! Gosh... I thought that by carrying Kaleb and sitting on the mattress beside Kayden, our #1 will guai guai sleep on his own. How wrong I am!! He was so jealous that he kept pushing Kaleb away and not forgetting screaming and screaming. Once Kaleb is back on the bed, Kayden will be rolling around the mattress, never mind that I am seated far away from him. =S Even in the middle of the night, he will wake up and come to the bed to look for me!! Baby, you need to grow up coz Didi needs me more. Mummy still loves you and you will always be our 1st bundle of joy. =)

Kiddy Rides @ Changi Airport

As I mentioned previously, we go to Changi Airport almost every weekend. Last last weekend, went there again and upon entering the building from the carpark, saw this advertisement that says there are cute kiddy rides at Carpark 3A, at B2. So, after lunch which was horrible coz both boys started throwing tantrum and cried non stop, leaving us very embarrassed at TCC. =S Damn scary experience. Anyway, after our very long lunch, we went in search of this kiddy rides.

Found it!! Daddy went on the ride with Kayden. We chose this big balloon giraffe for Kayden. LOL. Coz it looks magnificent!
The older kids driving at the race track.
Here they come.....
Daddy's hand served as the "seat belt"...
Here they come again....
Kayden's eyes were somewhere else...
My turn to "drive" with Kayden. At first I didn't want to "drive" him around coz I am a safety driver, didn't know how to drive single-handedly... So, Daddy made Kayden stand in between my laps so that I could drive with 2 hands.... =)
Love this pic... he looks so "glued" to me.. which he is very "sticky" to me these days....

After the giraffe ride, we made our way to the exit but this little boy ran back to the rides and climbed into the "racing car".

Initially we didn't want to let him sit but when we know there is seat belt attached, we were relieved coz this meant he won't climb out by himself. =) It's a remote control car.
Looking out for traffic before going out to the "track"...
Daddy following behind coz remote controller needs to be within certain range...
The car is actually going at quite a fast speed... =) our little boy driving with one hand... like his Daddy... LOL.
Posing for me...
Enjoying the "scenery"
End of ride...

Kayden enjoyed himself tremendously on the car ride... we will definitely return to the place again... wanted to let him go again that day but they only have one remote control car and there are others waiting in the queue... so... we will be back again. =)

3 months old checkup

Kaleb is 3 months old today! Brought him to his PD @ TMC for the Pneumococcal jab. Had initially wanted to bring him to Polyclinic for this jab coz thinking of saving some $$ but need to make appointment and I don't want to delay this jab. Maybe will do so (make the appointment with Polyclinic) for his 6-in-1 jab next month. Went to PD at 10.30am and reached back home at 11.30am. =) Very fast coz Mum stays near TMC and also coz the queue at the clinic wasn't very long.

At 3 months old, Kaleb weighs 5.57kg and stands at 59cm. PD said his weight gain is very good and everything is fine. At 3 months old, Kaleb is able to respond to us (by smiling and coo-ing) whenever we talk to him. Guess he will talk faster than kor kor coz Kayden never coo-ed last time. LOL. Kaleb is still drinking every 2.5-3 hours during day time and during night time, sometimes he will wake up for feeds only after 6 hours!! Hopefully he will be able to sleep through the night soon.

Kaleb, happy 3 months old and Daddy, Mummy and Kor Kor are happy to have you as part of the family. We love you. =)

Sick sick sick

Teacher called and said Kayden was cranky from morning all the way till noon and also puked twice. Said if I can, bring him home early. But I can't Coz daddy is pretty sick at home and needed to rest. In the end, went to fetch him at 5pm. He also bit his lips while climbing up the chair. Sigh... A very active toddler! But luckily the bitten part wasn't obvious when we came back else they would be fussing over it.

How nice if we are staying on our own now. Then daddy can rest in the room while I look after the boys alone outside. =( hope we can shift out soon ... As far as possible. Lol.

Going back to work in another 20 days time. Mixed feeling... In order to feel better, I think about the year end bonus. Lol. Heard will ne a good one this year. =D

Hope my 2 Ks will recover soon and praying hard that baby K will be strong and won't catch the bug... Will be back soon to blog...
