Visit to the Paed

1 year 1 month 1 week 2 days

We brought Jaiden for his Chicken Pox injection last night. He was weighing 10.8kg. The paed did not measure his height and head circumference as this was just measured a month ago. This jab made Jaiden cried out loud, one of the longest cry he had after being jabbed.

We asked Dr. Koe why does Jaiden develops rashes around his mouth whenever we feed him food with more "taste". She asked us to monitor and looking at the rashes he had around his mouth last night, she said it doesn't matter. Most likely he has skin sensitivity since mummy has sensitive skin too. We also checked with Dr. Koe why Jaiden coughs every morning after he woke up from his beauty sleep. Dr. Koe suspects that it could be due to his weak lung. He prescribed him a medication to strengthen his lung. Hope this medicine really helps.

The Dancing Baby

Jaiden is dancing! Ya... Jaiden starts dancing when he listens to his favorite songs. He would dance once the TV plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Insey Winsey Spider during his meal time (we usually place him infront of the TV, showing him the "My Baby Can Talk" CD). He would also dance in the car when he is in his car seat listening to a few of his favorite songs such as Horsey Horsey Don't You Stop, Six Little Ducks That I Once Knew, Ten Green Bottles, etc... How did he dance? Hahaha... As simple as moving both his hands up, twisting his body a little bit from left to right. Ya, it's that simple, but enough to keep his daddy & mummy entertained.

Some sentimental photos :-)

Lucky Jaiden

Jaiden is such a lucky boy. Lucky in the sense that daddy & mummy found him a very good babysitter, Ngo Jeh. Ngo Jeh seeing Jaiden down with flu for 10 days (today 11th days), she make him bird nest soup yesterday! Ya... Jaiden had bird nest soup yesterday!! (Mummy hasn't been drinking bird nest soup for God knows how many years!!). Ngo Jeh said seeing Jaiden sick for so many days, she decided to give him something more "yun". She has been feeding him Scoot Emulsion, vitamin C, "5 guk" rice, "10 guk" rice (which I've never heard of it), so she don't understand why is he not recovering yet. All those "5 or 10 guk" rice are full of nutrients. Now you know why I say Jaiden is a lucky baby ;-) Oh by the way, Jaiden will be having another round of bird nest soup today as well.

Some catch-up on Jaiden's new vocabulary: -

Daaa daaaa: Joy Joy (our pet)

Eeee: Egg

Dum: Drum

Daddy is sick

Virus dear virus... Why don't you want to leave our family yet? Ya... after Jaiden and mummy down with flu (still not recovered till now), daddy's turn to fall sick now. Daddy was sick on Sunday and he is on MC today. Praying hard that the flu bug will leave our family soon... Poor Jaiden has been suffering from flu for 10 days already. Could it be the parents' fault? We did not bring Jaiden to see the paed because we do not want him to be so dependent on the medication. We hope his body will fight with the virus, hence boost up his immune system and antibody.

Jaiden has been enjoying his nice porridge over the weekend. Mummy tested, and agreed that it's yummy!!! Mummy will do the same porridge for the family soon ;-)

Walk unaided

Jaiden can now walk unaided!! Last couple of days, he tried hard to get up from a sitting/ kneeling position to a standing position. He was trying that even at night, when I tried to tuck him to sleep! At last, he is able to do so now. He can even stand from a sitting position. This morning, before we left home for work, he went into the small room where we kept his electronic lantern. He took the lantern and I helped to walk him out of the room and get him seated on the floor near the dining table. While I was getting ready to put things into the car, I saw him walking unaided, one hand holding on to the electronic lantern! I was amazed at how he progresses.

Din't manage to take a photo of him walking with his lantern. Will have to put the camera at a more accessible place next time.

This is a photo of him walking like a drunken master holding a remote control.

Old URL

Due to boredom, I do some housekeepings on the many favorite websites that I have bookmarked. Then, I came across an interesting website ;-) It's the website that I've created when we are preparing our wedding. Time flies...

Mummy is sick

Never cross my mind to blog about me falling sick. It was hubby's idea to blog it (kind of domino effect?) since the previous blog was "Jaiden is sick". Jaiden is yet to recover, there comes another sick people at home. Daddy, be strong ya!!

I am down with flu as well (virus from Jaiden most likely). Took MC yesterday and rested at home. After sending hubby to work and Jaiden to Ngo Jeh, I went to Poliklinik Pertama to see doctor. Then, went home and took medication and slept at about 10:30am. Until what time? Hehehe... this lazy and sick mummy slept until 3:00pm, still want to continue... but forced myself up to refresh a bit, went online and eat some bread for the 4:00pm medication. Still FB-ing until 4:30pm, took a quick shower and left home at 5:00pm to fetch hubby from work and Jaiden from Ngo Jeh.

I'm at work today, but constantly went to the ladies to make wantan as my nose is basically blocked the whole day. Maybe left with 1/6 section (in the nostril) for me to breath. Not a good idea to go to work... should have taken 2 days MC...

Totally out of scope... (non-Jaiden related). But here goes some photos of Jaiden taken with his Police car.

Jaiden is sick

Sigh... Something that is unavoidable. Jaiden is down with flu starting last Saturday. This makes him more cranky as compared to normal days. Where did he gets the virus from? The other kid that Ngo Jeh is taking care of la.... This boy is having flu last week. Despite how Ngo Jeh asked him not to go near Jaiden, he will go near Jaiden, kiss him, play with him, etc... Me and hubby have already predicted that Jaiden will catch flu soon.

We gave Jaiden the flu medication prescribed by paed. (from the last round he had flu) at night. Nevertheless, he had difficulty breathing and he woke up a few times in the middle of the night. Neither hug, carry nor swing can tame him down. We fed him some warm water and soon after that he fall asleep. The next day, I decided not to give him the flu medication anymore as too much "western" medication will make him very "yeok". I gave him 1/2 of "bao ying dan" in the morning after his breakfast. Jaiden had difficulty to take his morning nap as well. He only managed to sleep for an hour. I gave him the other 1/2 of "bao ying dan" at night before he go to sleep. At last, I don't see any difficulty of him breathing when I tuck him to sleep then.

- Kiss daddy/ mummy

- Lift both his hands up when daddy/ mummy says "carry"

- Expert in crawling

- Stand without support for at most 3-5 seconds

- Walk with help

- Drinking water from straw

- Can I have that please? Then he will pass you whatever he is holding.

- Can you please help me to put this into the pouch? He will then put whatever he is holding or I am pointing at into the pouch.

- Cannot!!! He will then stop whatever he is doing at that point of time, look at me, and sometimes he will continue doing the same thing or he will crawl to me. Depends on his mood...

- Come. Again depends on his mood. He will crawl towards us or he will ignore us and do whatever is doing at that time.

Milk Formula

Before Jaiden reaches 1 year old, we fed him with Nestle NAN HA 1 milk formula as Dr. Koe said he has minor allergy to the normal cow's milk. Since this milk has gone through a special way of processing it's protein, so it's suitable for babies with minor allergy. However, Jaiden does not like this milk formula all along because it tastes a bit bitter. No choice... he has to bear with it since this milk suits him best at that moment.

We switched him to Pediasure Complete on the day he reached 1 year old. He likes it a lot!!! That was the 1st ever time where he finished 7oz of milk by himself (ya.. I mean, he hold the bottle by himself and finished the milk in it). Of course, we are very happy that he likes this milk so much. However, Ngo Jeh said he eats a lot too during day time. Hence, his tummy is getting bigger and bigger, and face became chubbier now. Afraid that he might turn into a fat boy, we have decided to switch him to Mamil Gold Step 3. We started him on Mamil Gold Step 3 on 2nd November. He shows signs of disliking the milk... sigh....

Finally, this morning he had a big tight slap from mummy at his thigh. He doesn't want to finish his milk and making a LOT of FUSS!!! This made mummy really angry, and gave him one tight slap on his thigh. He cried out sooo loudly. No matter how we manja him, how we play with him, he still doesn't want to drink the left over milk. He left 2.5oz out of 5oz okay... it's half of his consumption. Ended up, he won!!! I think he knew that daddy & mummy is angry at him, hence he did not make much noise in the car (on the way to Ngo Jeh's house).

Shall we stop feeding him in the morning? This kind of incident really spoils my mood of the day!
