Andre & his 1st 'MaMa'

I was very happy when Andre came to the toilet and looked at me and called me 'mama' yesterday! Prior to this, he called me 'Daddy' (cannot believed it rite? He called both hb and me - Daddy!!!).

But after that, he had since stopped calling me and when I asked him to call me, he whined and shaked his head :(

This naughty son of mine really had an attitude! He only called me when he felt liked it!

Andre & his mischief

Andre is getting more & more creative. Don't know how he managed to tink of folding down one of the table stand so that it will look like a slide. And he will slide down the table very happily and do it again & again...

Here, at this pic, he was sliding to the end and sat there watching his TV...haha

He even had fun running down his 'slide'...

DAY 1: Weaning off pacifier

Yesterday I felt that it's a gd time to wean off pacifier for Andre as he is coming to 2 and also he had been very whiny as he kept waking up crying for his pacifier and caused me to feel very tired the next day as I kept having interrrupted sleep.

Not much fuss from him during his afternoon nap as I tink he was too tired liao...he whined a lil bit asking for his pacifier but I told him no more already. I had thrown the pacifier away and promptly patted him to sleep. He fell asleep quite fast as I tink he was too tired.

Nite time, he was more whiny and cried on and off. But I insisted and thankfully I didnt give in to him...took quite a while to pat him to sleep...and he was there opening n closing his mouth as if he was chewing on something. Funny sight! He slept quite well and woke up lesser than the last few nites...

So weaning him off isn't as bad as I thought :)

Andre's 1st day at Childcare

Yes, it had been quite a long time since I last updated my blog. Blame it on my laziness and facebook. And for this new yr 2011, I hoped that I can blog more and share abt the developments of my 2 boys.

So for 2011, the first post will be Andre's 1st day at CC.

Initially, before he started CC, I was confident tat he will not cry for me as he had been very open to strangers, playing wif them & allowing them to carry him. So I requested for him to start CC in mid-Dec 2010 but was turned down as there would be a few new comers too. So the earliest he can start is Jan 2011.

But who knows, as he was turning 18mths, he started to cry for me or hubs when he realised we were out of his sight. So I began to worry as I need to help Amadeus adapt to his new school too in Jan. Thank goodness, hub had a new job and will only began work on 10th Jan. So he can helped me wif both boys.

To my surprise, Andre adapted pretty well on his 1st day. Not crying for me at all or needed me by his side. I just stood at a corner while he explored the place on his own. Ard 10.30am, I said good-bye to him and went off to have my breakfast. He didn't cried at all. When I walked back ard 11am, I peeped him from outside and saw his teacher feeding him his lunch.

After lunch is his bathing time. I stayed behind to watch how the teacher bathe and changed him before I went off.

Andre is 1!!!

Today marks the day Andre turns 1. No special celebration as we had thrown a party for him on 8th May.

I cooked mee sua for him in the afternoon and hubby bought a small cake after work to have a simple celebration at home.

Last visit to the Cardiac Centre

Brought Andre for his heart scan at KKH, Cardiac Centre and am glad and relieve tat the hole has finally closed.

But before the doc broke the news to me, I was given a scare by them.

One of the doc was looking at the screen and pointing something to another doc. Then the female doc said "heart defect". Then the male doc kept scanning here and there and both kept silent and just looked very intently at the screen. Finally, I couldn't hold back and asked whether his heart is alright. Then the male doc said 'nothing wrong, everything prefectly normal and the hole had closed'. I heaved a sign of relief and the doc chopped a discharged stamp on his health booklet :)

1 last shot taken outside the centre before leaving...

Andre turns 11 mths today!

1 more mth to go and Andre will be 1! How time flies...

He is really an active baby, keeps moving and touching and putting things into his mouth. Even when I am patting him to sleep, wif his eyes closed, his hand and leg will still be moving ard, esp his hand will come looking for my hair and then pull and let go and pull and let go. He will only stop moving when he is finally deep in sleep. 

His milestones so far:

- can crawl on all fours

- can do high-5

- can clap but only when he feels like doing it

- will say mum mum when he is hungry

- can bottle-feed himself

- will follow me everywhere (he will crawl after me when he saw tat I'm walking away - at home)

- can walk a few steps wif support

- can drink from cup

He has 7 teeth now...no wonder he drools so badly...the tooth jus pop out one after another but glad tat he is not overly cranky when he was teething.

Now, he will fight wif Amadeus for toys and will bully him at times too. He loves to pull Amadeus' hair and wat did Amadeus do? He just screamed loudly and shouting "my hair, my hair. Mummy, help me!" It was very hilarious to see the scene.

He is also one greedy boy. Whenever we were eating, he would looked at us and licked his mouth, waiting for us to feed him. But 1 bad habit of his is tat, if he gets tired of eating tat food, he will jus spit it out.

Lastly, pray tat he will forver be this happy and healthy and tat he and his gor gor will be the best buddies when they grow up :)
