Feverish due to teething

Jaiden's temperature is going up and down since yesterday morning. According to the paediatrician, as long as the reading shows below 37.5C, then Jaiden is not having fever. For Jaiden, the reading is ranging from 36.9C - 37.4C. This is consider high for him as his normal temperature is between 36.4C - 36.9C. Since Jaiden is in his teething stage now (so far he has only 2 developing teeth - bottom center), it's not a surprise that his temperature fluctuates a bit. We can also see his 2 front teeth coming out. Hopefully he is fine and not going through much discomforts.

A note to remember :-)

Jaiden's 1st tooth is visible at his 11th months. From the front view, it would be the bottom center, towards the right ;-)

Jaiden feeds mummy

21st October 2009 marks a memorable day for mummy. Jaiden fed mummy his Baby Bite crackers. Mummy feels sooooo sweet.

It’s normal for Jaiden to make noise when we fetch him from Ngo Jeh’s house in the evening. What more when we want to place him on his car seat, he will complain and complain and complain, keep moving and it’s very difficult for us to fasten his seat belt. To tame him, we will “bribe” him with the Baby Bite crackers. Ya…. we know we shouldn’t do this (not a good teaching), but any other recommendations? Mummy who is sitting next to Jaiden will break the cracker into smaller pieces before passing it to Jaiden. To my surprise, Jaiden holds the piece of cracker and put it near to mummy’s mouth. Mummy said “No, Jaiden. This is for you… You can have it”. I push his hand towards his own mouth, and ya… he ate it. Daddy then told me, if Jaiden wants to give me, I should just eat it. Hmmmm… true also ya… let Jaiden show his gratefulness to mummy. I pass Jaiden another small piece and I asked Jaiden to give mummy. He then feed mummy with his own hand!!! I am so touched (just a small piece of cracker is enough to make mummy so touched hahaha). Oh by the way, it’s very sweet too when we ask Jaiden to “kiss mummy”, and he really did it!

Happy Birthday Jaiden

Finally... Jaiden has reached his 1st year milestone. There are a lot of changes as compared to 365 days ago. From a little infant who only knows how to cry has turned into a little toddler who can now do so many things such as crawling, yelling, waving, flying kiss, shake hand, etc etc…

A little diary on how Jaiden’s 1^st birthday was celebrated.

7:05am : Mummy woke Jaiden up as we need to get ready to go to Dr. Bux clinic for mummy’s check-up.

8:20am : Reached Dr. Bux clinic. Wow… So many patients… We need to be really patience to wait for our turn. Jaiden knowing he has turned into a toddler today being very happy exploring the clinic and making so much cutie faces. He became the central of attraction to those mummies & daddies-to-be in the clinic.

9:20am : Left Dr. Bux clinic.

9:40am : Reached Jalan Imbi market for breakfast. Daddy & mummy had Hainan coffee (the very famous coffee served in this market) and wantan mee while Jaiden had his Banana cereal + brown rice as his breakfast.

10:15am : Bought flowers for prayer in the market.

10:35am : Reached Pudu market. Jaiden is sleeping in the car while mummy went to the market to shop for things for prayer in the evening. Something sounded really funny to the experienced housewives… Ah Po asked her to buy “sang choy”. She bought “bo lei sang choy” instead of the normal “sang choy” used for prayers. Mummy don’t find this funny, but she got a bit embarrassed when people from Yulek market laughed at her. Hahaha…

11:40am : Reached Yulek market to buy “sang choy” and fruits.

12:00pm : Reached Ah Po's house to send her the items for prayers in the evening.

12:20pm : Reached Pusat Jagaan Ikhlas Bakti to visit Po Po. Met Dai Yi and Su Rei Jeh Jeh there, and later Gung Gung came too.

1:00pm : Reached home finally…… Jaiden of course crawl around the house and play with his toys.

3:30pm : Daddy finally managed to make Jaiden sleep. He has to take a longer nap because tonight will be a late night for him.

5:10pm : Daddy woke Jaiden up.

5:30pm : Daddy fed Jaiden with dried scallop pork porridge while mummy started to get ready.

6:05pm : Left house to Uncle Chew’s house (diagonally opposite neighbour) to collect Jaiden’s birthday cake.

6:30pm : Reached Ah Po’s house and immediately start the prayers.

7:20pm : Left for Tai Thong Restaurant at Cheras Plaza for dinner with family members.

Kiasu-ness of today's parents...

More and more parents are bringing their babies/ kids for studio photo shots. Is this today's trend? Or is this purely kiasuism that we are talking about? :-) When I saw my friend posted his baby's photo on his FB account, I asked my husband "Shall we?". Of course, after browsing my friend's photos, he agreed to bring Jaiden to the same studio since the packages that they offer is quite reasonable.

Jaiden had his studio photo session on the 27th September 2009 from 2:00pm till 3:30pm. It could be longer if Jaiden can be more co-operative. Anyway, we can't blame him for being so agitated because he had a fall during the photo shooting session. He was playing happily riding a "scooter" at first. We asked him to stand for some posing. Since he still can't stand properly without aid (of course he can't walk without aid too), he had a slip together with the "scooter". Daddy who was standing at the back of course tried to rescue Jaiden, but daddy slipped too! Daddy kicked at the "scooter" and it hits Jaiden for a 2nd time (after Jaiden felt with his face facing the ground). What next??? Jaiden cried non-stop! His nose was hurt and bleed a little. We feel sooooo sad for bringing Jaiden for this photo shooting session and hence hurts him.

This is the "scooter"... photo taken before the fall.

Luckily we managed to tame Jaiden and photo session continues... I've posted all the photos we've chosen in my FB account. Below are some of the photos I love the most...
