Pank Pank Pank!!!!!!

Edward never likes to play with the gun that hubby bought him months ago. The most that he’ll only carries it for a while & throws it on the floor. But to my surprise when my mom told me that Edward play with the gun which has abundant aside for so long by pressing the gear to make the shooting sound. My mom even told me that he’ll raise his hand to show the sign of “stop” after he stops pressing the gear. When his gun making the shooting sound, he said ”Pank! Pank! Pank!” Wah……….he has really grown up a lot! He knows the shooting sound should be “pank”. I’m so happy with this little achievement as I seldom teach him with books nor any flash card.The only thing that i do most is watching Barney with his during his meal time. Normally ,let him play most of the night or bring him shopping when daddy is free. (blame me on my laziness!i have wasted 17months already)=

I think this is the right time starting to teach my son, or else I’ll regret later. I told myself to spend more time with him so that he’ll love mummy more!(hahaha!)

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?

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?

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!

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)

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.

Spending time with Edward

Mummy always feel guilty for unable to spend more time with Edward as mummy need to work everyday. I normally feel tired after a day long at work & this really make me feel so bad about it. I have plenty of plans between my son & me, but I hardly fulfill it. I want to teach my son with alphabet & picture but I abandon the plan a few months ago. Only one thing that I never miss is the bed time rhymes! But somehow, I really feel not enough! Therefore, I told myself to spend more time with him from today onwards no matter how tired am i.

Today, after back from office, i play with him & talk to him for the whole night. He seems to understand it & he’s really happy. I carry him here & there, letting him explore on his walker, singing songs, babbling together with him & so on. It’s really fun that he give me a very excited response even at times I may feel sleepy a bit but overall everything is fine. I wish I could do this more often & starts with him with some early learning program. Hopefully, it’s still not too late to do so!

Message to my lil Prince:-

Dear Edward, mummy feels so sorry that unable to coach you with some early learning program. Mummy mostly left you under the care of “kor poh” at night time while mummy only looking around. Mummy promises to spend most of the night time with Edward alone without any help from anybody, ok? At least some of the reading time together to improve your little knowledge!

1st taste of porridge

I never thought to start Edward with porridge so soon as I always thinking of better let him enjoy his cereal until he reach one year old. In my opinion, I felt that he can consume more milk powder with cereal comparing to porridge. However, my SIL told me that Edward may lack of nutrients if only consume cereal & milk alone when she visit me on last week. As according to pead, he also suggest to let Edward start with porridge too. Therefore, I make up my mind to let him a try by this week.

I prepare the ingredients of the porridge such as anchovies on Monday by frying it till fragrance. My SIL told me that anchovies are good for the bones & teeth of the growing up baby, and I agree with it! My auntie is the one who cook the porridge for my son. She cooks it with fish & vegetables (spinach). My mom feed him in the evening and he shows the sign of “liking” to us. He demands for speedy feeding as he like the taste so much. Every one of us is really happy with it as all of the effort worth it out! I hope he’ll continuously show us that he loves to eat as the porridge really full of nutrients which is really good for growing up baby!

Message to my lil prince:-

Edward, how’s is the taste of your porridge? Nice? Yummy? Good?

Mummy hopes that you enjoy it very much! (actually mummy share with you with the left over portion in the slow cooker as “kor poh” really cook a bit pot for you) Mummy like the taste too!Daddy told me just now that he don't mind to share with you too! Wow, your porridge must be very good to taste which can attract your daddy.

Super clingy to mummy

Edward seems to super clingy towards me as if there is glue within us nowadays. When I’m out of his sight, he’ll make all kind of noise to get my attention. This is really hard when I’m trying to do my own things. I try to leave him under the care of my aunty when we are back from Butterworth as I need to get myself a nap before his next feeding of cereal. However, it’s really hard for my aunty to handle him as he making the noise for non-stop, twist & turn his body, yelling & etc….., just wanna get me to attend to him. But, this lazy mummy still gets a nap in the other room as I feel safe when he is under the care of my aunty. I was wondering what if I’m away for 2^nd honeymoon with hubby? I think that must be quite impossible within this few years.

Playful Edward waiting for mum & dad

When we are out for shopping, Edward is waiting for us at home. He reluctant to sleep even my aunty has followed his daily routine by giving him milk before pat him to sleep in his cradle. However, he is very uncooperative at all. He twist & turn his body & wail out his lung as if abuse by someone. (as according to my aunty)

When we reach home, I saw him playing around in the living hall. He raises his hand when he saw us. I know he must be waiting for me to pat him to sleep as he was used to it since born. (I feel so sweet as my effort of spending time with him everyday really pay off) Am I too bad?

After getting myself a change, I immediately put him into the cradle & sing his favourite lullabies to pat him to sleep as it’s quite late already. (he never sleep that late before) He fell asleep very fast after a few songs. Mummy love you so much, my dear Edward!

Daddy is beating Edward

All of us in the house love Edward so much especially my aunty who always praises my son for whatever he done, even to his wrong doing. Surely nobody in the house beat neither scold him. Maybe he’s the youngest among all & our house did not have any children other then him. He’s just like a prince in my family. Everyone love him and care for him very much!

Here's my story begins:-

Hubby back home quite early today. But we do not back to Butterworth as I have to work the next day. Edward plays around in the living hall as usual, running here & there happily. We give some toys on the tray of his walker so he can enjoy it further more. He may demand for carry at some time but anyway he behaves very well that evening.
He plays until he gets tired & sits back to his walker, so sudden he put his hand into his mouth, maybe its just a way to sooth his tiredness. My hubby noticed it & asks him to take out his hand. He looks at my hubby & continuously sucking his yummy Kentucky. My hubby call him twice but he just ignore him. He keeps on enjoying his yummy treats. Hubby immediately put away the newspaper on his hand & moves to the side of this little fella. Hubby takes out his hand & beat him but my son immediately put his hand into the mouth again when hubby let got of his hand. Surely hubby is going to beat him again and this time he wails his lung out but he did not ask for help even hubby keep on telling him that he can get comfort from mummy. To all of our surprise, he raise both his hand towards daddy while he still crying. After a while, daddy also feels pitiful of how he cries. Instead of scolding him, daddy has to console him & explain to him that it’s unhygienic of putting hand into mouth. I’m not sure Edward understand or not but he stop crying after a while & play happily again with us. Actually my heart really painful when I see him wail out his lung when daddy beats him but I know I cannot side him if he’s really wrong doing. We as a parent cannot spoilt our children even we love them so much. Now, he’s still so small to understand what we explain to him but if grows older we must explain the right & wrong to him instead of punish him. Am I right? Is anyone there to share with me the right ways of mothering?

Pulling my earring

Continue from my last update, my son really aggressive in pulling things especially when it comes to those bright & shinny items. This is how it happens just now! I was carrying him after back from work, without having a change with earring & necklace on; happily play with him by carrying him up-side-down. He was so excited & laughing loudly when I put him to the very top of how I manage to, so sudden I felt very painful from my left ear, as if my a deep cut to my ear lope. Without noticing that my son’s hand is still on my earring, I quickly put down my son. There only I realized it, hopefully it’s not too late yet. I try to make his hand let go of my earring and immediately ask my mother to look after him then rushing to the mirror with a damp pain on my ear lope. sob sob sob…..

Oh no, my ear is so reddish! Luckily there’s no blood flowing out but it’s really painful. I took off the earring & put some oilmen on it. After that, I back to play with my son again without scolding him. (suppose to scold him if he’s not my precious baby. see, i spoil my son too! what to do, his smile really makes me cool down & even feel better with the pain) When I try to hug him, I notice him pulling my necklace with a diamond pendant. Now only I realize that he likes those shiny shiny things! Edward, mummy never knows that guys also like diamond. Mummy thought its only girl’s best friend. Who knows maybe my son is going to be the famous diamond designer? slap slap, day dream again!

Pulling of everything

Apart from sitting on his own, his new development is trying to pull whatever things that catch his interest. Of course my mum & aunty will be the victim of this new development. How pity of my mother & aunty! This little fella love to pull my aunty blouse from the sewing machine which my aunty hangs it there. Once he get it, he will happily pull it up & down to show us his cheeky face that makes us laugh. Besides that, this little fella manages to pull a kg of biscuits from the table & carry it on his hand. Once I has saw him carried a plastic bag which is full of 5 big dumplings. He is really strong enough to carry out whatever things that comes to him. He will normally show us a victory smile when he gets something which he wanted.

It’s good too, so he will help mummy to carry all those shopping bags when he grows up. (seems still long way to go, huh? mummy must be old then, how to shop anymore with a big & clumsy look? bleh bleh bleh) As long as my lil prince is growing up healthily & smart, mummy would be very happy with it.

Sit on own

Wow, it’s another milestone for my lil prince today. I notice him started to balance himself by sitting on his own. It’s really cute of his act, especially when he smiles towards you! Since he’s only 6 month plus, my aunty do not want to let him sitting too long as according to her that Edward’s back bone still not that strong yet. Therefore, we will let him sitting on & off while playing with him. He enjoys so much with his new explore by showing us numerous funny act like raising both his hand very high.
I think it’s every parents happiness when discover their child’s new development. So am i! I’m sure hubby must be very happy if tell him later. How nice if my son knows how to walk? See, I’m really a crazy mummy, who expects his son to walk at the month of six. Hahaha!
Edward, well done! Mummy believe that you will show us with more & more development from every now & then. Yes, you can do it. I love you, mummy’s precious diamond!

Throw of everything

My mother & my aunty keep on complaining to me that my little cheeky learns to throw whatever things that reach his hand. This ends up that my mother & my aunty to be the victim of his playful attitude. However, both my mother & aunty still praise him for being so smart. See, how they spoil my son? Although that I know they love my son so much but it's really not a good way of over spoil him. This may lead him to become misbehave more in the future. My aunty always tells me that my son is too small to understand but I felt that should be ok to start teaching him lesson from now on. I think I must get some ways to stop him from throwing things. Actually, it’s really pitiful to beat his hand but at least a firm instruction is a must to let him know that what’s he does is wrong. Hopefully, this is works! Anyone there to share with me the ways to guide baby?

Yummy taste of cheese cake & ice-cream

As I mention earlier, my cheeky son enjoys eating ice-cream & cheese cake during the buffet dinner at Rasa Sayang Hotel. He was so happy each time me & hubby feed him with that. He will shows his smiley face & blinking eyes after each feed just to show us how much he likes it. We are so happy but I’m too scary of over feed him as I know those are heaty & is no good of consume too much. Yet, he demand it again & again after each feeding until daddy has no choice but to bring him away from the table just to distract his attention. However, those yummy cheese cake & ice-cream are the only way to keep my cheeky son sit still throughout the dinner. Everything has pros & con, therefore we parents must know the limitation without spoilt them with those junk food. We must get them the best as they know nothing at this early stage.

Message to Edward:
Little darling, do u know how much mummy cares for u? Mummy hope to get u the very best if mummy is able to as u are the precious in mummy’s heart. I love you, my lil prince.

Hands on bowl

My MIL supposes to feed my son with cereal in the evening as my hubby & I were very busy on that time. My son sure enjoys the cereal even he is feed by his grandma, who seldom feeds him. Who knows that I’m the one to feed him at the end as my BIL asking my MIL to do him a favour. Surely my cheeky son is very excited as mummy is going to spend time feeding him cereal. Due to over excited, he put his palm into the bowl which is still left with quarter portion of cereal when I’m not aware of it. Luckily, he is almost full already. You can imagine how his hands which mess up with cereal are. Poor thing, my maid have to clean it up for me as I’m busy wiping his hands & mouth.
