Running marathon to get Edward asleep-2

Ya, this is the 2nd round of tucking Edward to sleep. As he keeps on looking to his cradle, I know what he wants. After a while by seeing mummy is not going to put him on the cradle, Edward started to make fuss again. At 1st, he’s only crying. Later, he started to wail out his lung and kicking here and there. I know I have to “run” again!

I successfully make Edward sleep on our bed after running for about 10minutes. Oh, I tell you its really tired and exhausted. (Ya, forget to mention that Edward doesn’t want to sleep on his pen but wanna sleep between mummy & daddy.)

***Edward, if you reading on this next time, you should know how much that mummy love you. Will you treat mummy the same when mummy is old & demanding? (hehehe!)

6oz of milk before sleep

I am so happy that Edward manages to finish 6oz of milk before his bed time. It has been really hard to feed him milk nowadays and I wonder why he doesn’t like milk? Is it because that he follows mummy footsteps? (is it true? But hubby insists that his son follow me, haha!) Like mother like son mar!

However, Edward willing to bottom ups the milk without making fuss today. I should say, this is very rare recently and I’m so happy!(I’m so worry that kids without having enough milk will not have sufficient vitamins & minerals) I’m very much concern about his daily food intake but what can I do to make him “falling in love” with milk? Is there anyone to share with me how to make my son falling in love with milk?

Airplane game with daddy

Edward has been very playful & cheeky nowadays. He loves to play those adventurous games with adult like flying on the sky, sitting on daddy’s shoulder, throw him up & down……etc. But mummy always complains of how dangerous of the games.

Today, since daddy is coming home quite early, he manages to play with his son for a while. Daddy carry Edward like an aero plane and get him running very fast towards me and this making Edward laughing for non-stop. He was so happy and demand for it when daddy is out of strength. For sure, I have to stop them. If not, it’ll never end for the whole night. Edward surely fussing around but I try to distract him by carrying him to the porch and show him the car outside. Kid still kid, they are easily happy even a simple game.

Bunny from Salabianca

I receive a call from my mobile this afternoon when I’m busy in the office. The girl from the call told me that my bunny that they reserve for me is ready to collect. At first, I’m totally clueless as I do not buying any toys recently especially my son who doesn’t like toys that much. I told her that I do not order any toys and she answers me that it’s the free gift from Salabianca. There only I recall that Salabianca promise to give me a call when the free bunny arrives as they give away free bunny to customer. Ya, I spend a lot at Salabianca during Mothers Day.

Since it’s free, I collect the bunny from there after work. To my surprise, it’s TWO. Wow, it’s not bad too as the doll look really nice with Chinese outfit. I’m not sure whether Edward like it or not, but at least here come the toys for him without need to pay. (hahahahah)

Not to my surprise that Edward doesn’t really fancy about the bunny. He only looks for a glance when I happily pass it over to him. He shows no interest at all and gives it away to my mother who sits beside him. I think he still prefer those entire plastic containers than toys. It’s good too that I manage to safe a lot on toys as Edward show no interest at all.

Porridge for my lil Prince

Before we leave for holiday, my aunty tries to cook porridge for my son as Edward like it so much. This round, his “kor poh” cook the fish porridge with corn instead of spinach. I found that Edward like it so much too as it’s really sweet. He can finish a bowl without making fuss and even demand for it. Surely, my aunt is very happy and so am I. As a mom, what beats more happiness than your kids love to eat, rite?

Well done, Edward! Please keep on this way and mummy sure you will grow taller & bigger each day.(I’m always worry that Edward is under-tall but Dr Dan always assured me that Edward’s height is normal at his age)

Strolling in the garden

1st time ever that I let Edward has a stroll in the garden and he shows that he like it so much! I hardly get Edward for a stroll in the garden as I do not have enough time for it. As for today, I carry Edward along to wave good-bye to my friends who visiting us this evening. Since the day is not that dark, I let Edward to have a stroll in the garden. There only I realized that I can teach him a lot in the garden, such as bird, cat, dog, sky, tree & etc. it’s a good way to teach him at the same time he can enjoy the outside view rather than staying at home all the time. I wish I can do more frequently.(hopefully mommy is not that lazy anymore)

Running marathon to get Edward asleep-1

Edward seldom sleeps on bed as he loves to sleep on the cradle at most night. I think he just love the feeling of rocking. However, it’s really inconvenience for us if we are on vacation. Not to mention overseas trip but a short trip to KL would be very inconvenience too unless we are going to bring along his cradle.

Since we are going for holiday very soon, I really need to train him sleeping on his pen but I know it’s going to be a very challenging task. After feeds him with milk I try to tuck him to sleep under my arm. At first, he feels so comfortable but after a while he started to turn here and there. Edward is making fuss in the room and takes the revenge that he does not want to sleep without his favorite rocker. I try a few ways but all end up unsuccessful and finally I come out with an idea i.e. running inside the room with him under my arm. I tell you, it’s really tired and stressful as I have to run and sing him lullaby song at the same time. I bet you that I can shed a few kilos if I keep on doing this for a consecutive night. However, it’s really works! Edward falls asleep within a few minutes. I’m not sure whether he’s sleepy or could it be that he’s fainted.

I really hope that I do not need to do so tomorrow. If not, I’m the one who fainted 1st as I hate exercise most. Do you think it can consider as an exercise?

Looking back while crawling

I just wanna share of my son’s new skill over here. He loves to crawl ever since he masters the skill. However, its really tiring for those who look after him as we all have to put an eye on him everywhere he’s crawling. He’s not well balancing yet but he can show us with a lot of cheeky look by looking back while crawling and this make everyone in the family so happy and laughing for non-stop. I do not know how to tell here but it’s really cute. For those parents experience before surely get what I mean. Yes, Edward just show it to my friend when they visit us.

No nap for the whole day

Edward has been very playful nowadays. His napping time has becoming less & less as comparing to last time. Today, this playful boy doesn’t want to sleep at all since in the morning. No matter how I put him to bed, he will wail out his lung to say “NO”. After we are back from Butterworth, I try very hard to put him to nap as I’m really tired. However, he’s uncooperative at all. Therefore, I leave him to my aunty while I take my beauty nap. Since my friends are coming today, surely he doesn’t sleep at all for the whole afternoon. He enjoys getting attention from others so much! I’m sure he’ll be very sleepy later.

Friend's visiting

It has been so long that I do not meet up with my best friends, Sei Lin & Sok Peng ever since after my confinement. All of us are really busy especially both my friends who venture into business after grad. However, it’s really surprise that Sei Lin call me up just now to inform me that she & Sok Peng is going to visit me & my lil prince. They have not met Edward after the confinement.

Edward is very happy and plays around with them by showing off his crawling & sitting skill. This makes my friends laugh for non-stop. My friends even surprise that I manage to feed my son with porridge and get him a change without hazel at all. Honestly to tell my friend, I enjoy the motherhood very much especially when my son showing me with different acts each day. I’m so proud of him. Now, I’m looking to be a full time mummy so I manage to spend more time with him. However, hubby always needs me to help him in his office if I stop working for others.

Sleep between Mummy & Daddy

When we reach home from Auto-City, I faster get Edward a change as he was asleep in the car. He looks so sleepy by on and off open his eyes. Since he has milk already, I directly pat him on my bed & let him sleeping on my bed. I’m sure he likes to sleep with daddy & mummy too. As our bed is king size, it’s very spacious for 3 of to sleep together. I like to sleep with him by smelling his hair & body. It’s really sweet! I love you, Edward!

Ice-ice Baby

It’s Saturday again and this is the time for daddy to bring us go “kai kai”. Edward & mummy are both very happy of it as we can go to Auto-City for delicious food. As normal, we went there after dinner. This time we go to ice-ice Baby. Therefore, we order those light food such as pan cakes, ice-cream, mini pizza & etc. Edward is now able to sit on his own; therefore we can enjoy the food very much! But, grandpa always wanna carry him & play with him. Before we leave, I give Edward a bottle of milk & he finish off very fast. I am the one enjoy the ice-cream very much!

Organic Holle Rolled Oats Porridge & Apple

After a tiring morning in the office, hubby brings me to Fettes Park to have my favourite “kaoy teow soup”. However, I would normally look for dried one as I like the taste of the dark soya source. Then, I ask hubby to bring me to the organic shop in Pulau Tikus market to buy the Holle Rolled Oats Porridge for my lil prince. I always feel that oats is a good for growing up children, therefore I want my son to have it too.(surely mummy wanna give the best to Edward boy!)

Besides buying the organic oats, I buy a packet of of organic apples too as I would like to make apple puree for my son. However, the apple is very expensive! It cost me RM 20+ for 4 pcs of middle size apple. I wish my son love the taste.

Sleeping with mummy

My son normally sleep on his cradle since he was back from confinement centre and I can tell you that he love it so much.(maybe it’s due to the continuously rocking throughout the night) besides that, we adults can sleep without worries too as he will hardly falls from the cradle. However, there is the disadvantage too. How can we travel without cradle if we are going to bring Edward along for holiday?

Yesterday night, when I was sleeping on the bed beside his cradle, he was crying for non-stop no matter how I rock his cradle while patting his bum. Finally, I have no choice but to bring him out from his cradle and pat him under my arm. He fall back to sleep after a few minute. Therefore, I make up my mind to let him sleep with me on the bed for the first time after he born. I find that he love to with us too but one thing is, its lack of space for 3 of us to squeeze in a bed. Anyway, I like it so much! (poor daddy, have to sacrifice most of the space for his lil prince)

Hardly feed Edward with cereal

My mom keeps on complaining that it’s really hard to feed my son with cereal nowadays. He has been very active and wanna run here & there during the cereal time. He love to move his hand, rubbing his face, pushing your hand away or even grab the spoon from you. My mom will normally getting exhausted after each feeding. She feels so tiring!

However I really hope that he can much more obedient when it’s my turn to feed him as due to mummy lack of experience. I will normally sing his favourite song “fun fun time” when I feed him with cereal and he shows me a good response too. He love the song so much!

Message to Edward boy:
Little darling, please don’t be too playful! If not, grandma is not going to look after you anymore. Then, mummy has to send you to babysitter. How pity of boy!

Teething

Ops, finally the day has come! Hooray………….!!!!

I was always thought that why my son is still not yet teething and now flies my worries!

Yeah, my son started teething!

My mom is the one who notice it after back from Island when she wants to apply the oral medicine around his lips & mouth. So so so surprise!

I think this's the reason why my son loves to blow saliva recently. I was so happy & wanna try to touch it . I find out there are two on the top & the bottom. It’s really cute!

Dim sum at Northern Hotel

After the visit to Island Hospital, I feel relief!(especially the doctor says it’s nothing “big” to worry) There only I remember that I did not take breakfast in the morning. (I was too worry until out of appetite) Now, only I realize my tummy is having drums performance. (ping! pong! peng!) ops, I’m so hungry!!!!!

Since I’m not working today, it’ll not be rushing to enjoy my lunch. I plan to bring my mom for dim sum treat in Northern Hotel which is quite near to Island Hospital. I love the dim sum there although there is not much choice. I use to eat dim sum there when I was pregnant with Edward. I order quite a lot of food from the menu. Since there are only 3 adults there, it’s impossible for us to finish it all. My mom comment towards the dim sum is so so only while my maid loves the porridge so much. Edward is still sleeping when we reach there but he wakes up after a while. (maybe he also want to have a taste of his favourite dim sum) we do let him have a taste of the porridge before giving him his cereal. (luckily mummy bring along your bowl & cereal as mummy knows that you surely looking for it) We all enjoy the dim dum while my son enjoys his cereal too!

Kisses around lips

My mom told me that Edward’s lip was having some white spot a few days ago. However, hubby & I don’t take it seriously as it’s only 2 spots. We thought it’ll diminish by itself after a few days time.

Yesterday, my mom ask me to check it again when I back for lunch. To my surprise, it spread into a few more spots. Some even crack & peeling! Luckily Edward doesn’t cry over this. He just shows us with some moody look. (how pity & brave of my boy!) This time, I was so worry. Worry of ,that could be any disease which is harmful to my boy. (oh no, I must be to too passive in thinking) I pray to God to let it heal by itself!

Today, I bring Edward to visit the pead early in the morning. Hubby does not follow as he is really busy. My mom & my maid accompany us along. There are too crowded with parents & children around. It has a long queue before our turn. At first, Edward is very energetic,(looking here and there, jumping up & down without a stop, twist & turn his body, making all sort of noise & etc…….) However, it really took a long time to reach our turn and Edward fall asleep while waiting outside. Therefore, Edward still sleeps when we go inside the doctor’s room. (how sweet of his sleepy face but mummy have to wake you up for the doctor to check over your mouth) Doctor Dan uses a stick to open Edward’s mouth which I feel really painful. (surely Edward feels uncomfortable & try to turn away his face) after checking, the doctor assure me that’s nothing to worry as it maybe cause by over heat or dirtiness.(seems like he can look through my face & read of mind that how worry am I since yesterday) he prescribe with oral medicine which is to apply on my son’s mouth. I wish it's really works & the white spots would diminish after the application.

Soon on vacation

Daddy was working till very late last night. I was waiting for him until 12 something. I’m really sleepy but I miss him so much!(darling, me & Edward really miss you so much)

I was almost asleep when daddy came home. He woke me up by whispered to me. I felt angry when he “kacau” me as I almost blur blur that time. I hate to wake up after falling to sleep. However, I still manage to wake up to accompany him having his dinner.(I usually not agree with him having dinner at 12 midnight. It’s so unhealthy!)

After dinner, hubby wanna me to accompany him for a while. So sudden that he told me that he manage to bring me & Edward to KL on next Public Holiday which fall on Saturday. I’m so happy of it! Finally, he manages to leave his business aside for a few days to accompany us. However, I’m filling with worries too! It’s the 1st time for us to bring Edward for such a long distance trip. We have no experience at all. I’m not sure how to bath him (Edward usually bath by his both paternal or maternal grandma), I’m not sure where to get the clean hot water (I hate to use the boiler provided by the hotel), I’m not sure whether Edward will get use to it when it comes to sleeping time (he fall asleep in the cradle every night), I’m not sure he will cry non-stop during the trip (he is under the care of my mom at most of the time). Arrg……………worries worries worries! (pls get rid of my mind & let me enjoy my trip) it’s better don’t think that much! Everything would be fine when it comes. Right?????

New blender

I have been thinking to get a new blender for preparing Edward’s foods & drinks. However, I’m not sure worth it or not as we have one at home since many years back which we seldom use. I totally feel unhygienic for using the old one as we have been using it to blend chilly & belacan which is smelly yet hot. (I know it sound crazy! The blender is clean & tasteless after washing) but I really don’t like it as I want the best for my baby. For me, everything must be new one for my baby!

Without thinking much after giving myself so much convincing reason to own a new blender, I immediately head to Takashima. (daddy surely say that mummy is wasting his hard earn money again! Sorry, my dear! I know you love Edward too, am I right?) The salesman really has a sweet talk. There is another woman buying the same product as I for preparing her granddaughter’s food. Both of us sharing the same thought & learning every single step that the salesman explains. We feel satisfied with the product as it has many functions too.

I hope it wouldn’t be a waste for owning a new blender. I’m sure I’ll fully utilize it! I want to blend juices & make apple puree for my little darling. Not to forget my big darling as well! (hubs, you are always in my mind too)

“kai kai” lor

Yup, today is Tuesday again! This is the day that daddy will come back earlier than usual! We normally go for durian treat ever since the durian season. However, we did not go for durian today as our fridge still pilled up with a few box of durian.

When daddy is back at around eight something, I urge daddy to bring us go “kai kai” as he promised me & my son yesterday. Daddy faster finishes his dinner & takes his shower, and then we proceed to Tesco. Edward is really too excited that he jumps up & down in the car. We do shop for some groceries there. We couldn’t buy much as we have to take turns carrying Edward. (he does not want to sit still on the trolley which other baby usually do) He looks here & there as if looking for something. However he started feeling sleepy after spending around 1 hour in Tesco. Therefore, we faster made the payment & leave as soon as possible before Edward making any fuss there.

Edward sleep all the way back home & only wake up when I’m trying to give him a change. Before he fell back to sleep, I immediately feed him with milk. (ya, I’m right! he fell asleep while he sucking his milk) damn…..tired, my boy! Have a good night sleep, my lil prince! Mummy love you so much!
