Mummy! We miss you !

June is away from Sunday to Sunday in HK attending a conference, thus that leaves me and DN here in Singapore... Its already Thursday, the boy and I had quite an eventful couple of days.. at least from Sunday till Tuesday.

DN seems to bid his time on when he gets unwell, the last time he fell sick was when June and I decided to take a day off and leave DN with my parents for 1 day and 1 night. This time, he seemed well when we sent June off at the airport in the morning. By evening, he was coughing and developed a mild fever. I gave him some fever medication but forgot that he has grown since the last time we gave him medication. I only asked my mom to give 1ml every 6 hours. On Monday morning, I checked his temperature and there was no more fever, so I went in to work. When I got home that evening, he was in good spirits even though he had a running nose and a cough. He waved when asked, crawling about chasing me around the sofa. I checked his temp and he had fever again, so decided to bring him to the doctor. We went to his usual Dr Khoy at Thomson Medical, spent less than 5mins in consultation but spent $116.... When briefed on amount of medication to give DN, I realised that based on his current age and weight, he will need to given 2ml instead of 1ml of his fever medicine. Anyway, it seemed DN got an infection and would take 5 days to recover. DN is a funny boy, he never seem to be affected by all his illness, he would continue chasing me, my mum or my dad ard the living rm.

Here's a pic of him behind the sofa waiting to pounce on his prey...

Well Sunday is just round the corner, DN and I are looking forward to seeing Mummy soon...

Mommy's Little Angel

For Father's Day, I bought DN a personalised a singlet that said "daddy's lil devil - der nen". A present for the baby on Father's Day? Where's the logic in that, you might ask. So, to understand the reason for my purchase, you must listen to this story.

Before DN was born, a cousin gave us some hand-me-downs, an assortment of tees, singlets, socks, booties, you get the picture. In this little pile were 3 tees with the words "I love mom" on the front. Needless to say, DN wore them a lot (even the pink one, hahaha). There were 3, so I could rotate them, hohoho. Of course, when DN wore them, he had to wear the matching "I love mom" mitten too right? Coordination is SO important and underrated.

PF didn't buy that.

So whenever we went out, we would scour the baby department looking for "I love dad" tees. But we couldn't find any! We did find "I love dad" mittens, but PF wasn't satisfied with a proclamation on a piece of fabric that would get flung around by the baby or eaten by the dog. I think he wanted something emblazoned on the chest and in neon colours and flashing lights. Of course, there is no such thing, so mittens it was.

Until Flash ate them. Then, DN outgrew those 3 little tees and PF was very pleased. We were even.

So, when I found this "lobang" to personalise tees, I ordered one for PF. What a perfect Father's Day present! (see the video on below on 17 June to check out the tee)

Of course, I ordered one for myself too. But I had to hide the tee from PF for an appropriate length of time (2 weeks) before revealing this purchase otherwise PF's present would have lost its effect. Judging from PF's reaction when he saw my tee, an appropriate length of time would have been "forever".

Yes, he wasn't pleased. And I don't think this post will placate his fragile ego either!

That's my little angel!

(I keep typing "angle", grrr...)










Awww...



















Can't get enough of those wings!



















We were at V's place for a BBQ and that's DN and PF in the function room. Check out DN's nifty little foot, heh.

















A close-up of DN in his little shoes. :D

Little Shoes

We've started putting little shoes on DN's little feet. He has started to cruise around - walking while holding on to furniture / walls / legs (table & human) for support. Although he cannot walk unsupported, he thinks he can! Now, he will not be content with sitting in the stroller or being carried while we're out. He wants to get down and boogie.

The baby is all grown up! *sob*


Couldn't help but smile when I saw his little shoes at the door. :D

We love old stuff!

When PF and I have nothing to do on weekends, we go to one of our fav stores, Lorgan's. It's chock-a-block full of great vintage finds and we can spend hours looking at boring stuff like chairs and tables. I couldn't resist not putting him in these chairs. He looks like a pea in a pod.

Made another little montage of DN. Took these pics one Sat morning. This one took me only 1 hour to make!!
