Together

I am always reluctant to take picture with Caden because I feel so huge and fat. But if I don't take any pictures with him now, I will have no pictures with 'small' Caden and I know that I will regret it later. So today I told myself to forget about how fat I am and try to feel confident to take pictures with Caden (although reminding myself not to take close-up photo). Yes I think I should do this more often!

I am not sure how can auntie Valerie took this pictures below..it's so cute.... They were spending time together and auntie Valerie took his picture and the next thing I know, I download the pictures and it was all nicee... "Thanks ii for the nice pictures of me..."

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!!!

at paragon

Went out shopping with oma today. Caden was sitting quietly in his car seat and looking at the people passed by and the stores in Paragon. Mom said, "I should have brought Caden out more often so that he won't act like a 'kampong' boy!" But I don't believe it. By keeping him at home he will have the maximum rest that he need and avoid awful diseases from visitors at the mall.

Happy Valentines day!!

bumbo chair

Auntie Valerie called this chair as "Caden's Throne" and made a small crown for Prince Caden to wear whenever he sit on it

This past few days, Caden doesn't really like it when we put him on his back or tummy, he wants to be sitted on our lap. Then I saw this bumbo chair at Takashimaya and another time at a child-care center that I mistakenly thought a school for infants. When I asked the owner of the child-care center about this bumbo chair, she said the it is really good for babies who just started to learn how to sit; the chair is also safe and confortable for them.....they could not stand up from it as the rubber suck their bottom to the chair when placed on flat surface.

So this afternoon I went to Takashimaya and bought this chair for Caden. I just hope that Caden will like his first chair to play with.

PS: His left eye on the photo is a bit shiny, that's because we put vaseline on it as Caden scratch it with his own nails. It was pretty deep!! Believe it or not vaseline really helps to heal it faster.

Noah met Caden for the 1st time

Noah and mommy came to visit Caden for the 1st time. Caden and Noah seems to get acquainted very fast (they are holding hands in no time). I let Caden rub Noah head which has full of hair a few times...hoping that Caden will have hair similar like Noah soon. ^_^

Noah mommy and I had a great time, too. It's been a while since we met. We chat a lot but this time, mostly about our babies...hehe...how time has changed...we knew each other since we were Secondary School and never thought of getting married, but now, each of us have a son of our own.

Come by again Noah! Next time, bring your float and swim suit too...so we can go swimming together.

PS: I looked so huge...I still had 10kg with me...yup! TEN KILO!!!

Going to school!!

I want to enroll Caden in a school for him to have fun and meet his other little friends. I thought it could be an interesting experience for him as he doesn't have any small friends in the family (he is the first child, first grandchild from both sides, and first great-grandchild, too). Most of the school in Singapore start at 6 months but I found this school called 'The Little Gym' that allowed infants as young as 4 months old in their 'bugs' class (4-10 months of age). So I called last week to have a trial session.

The class was great. It was a relatively small class with only about 6 children and their mommies. Teacher Amy was great too; she is a young, energetic person who teaches us (parents) lots of tricks to increase the child ability to build a strong bodies as well as high self-esteem using songs, or props in the gym.

1st time in the class Caden looked very happy. He smiled and follow the class quietly and attentively. So I conclude that he like the class..that means...we will be coming here every Wednesday at 9.10am. Yey...!!!

swim @ ardmore

Today is the first time Caden swim at ardmore. The swimming pool was great but unfortunately they don't have heated pool at all; they have 4 swimming pool -- 1 big and 3 small ones but none is heated. Luckily Caden can tolarate the cool water ... people said he likes water therefore whanever there is water (whether is cold or warm), it's okay with him.

Caden loves the small pool because with the 'car float' that I bought him, his feet are just right touching the bottom pool floor so he could sort of walk in it. He was so enthusiastic 'driving the car' forward, backward, right and left.

Today is Saturday, daddy is at home so daddy took Caden swim and had a great time. Paul has been away every Sunday night to Friday night so he doesn't get enough time to see Caden and wherever Paul is in Singapore, he always make use of Caden's wake up times to play together. I guess, Paul is just afraid that Caden won't recoqnize him as his daddy if he did not make the time. Whatever it is, it's good to have a fatherly bonding for Caden and Paul and I will definately encourage this father-son time.
