My birthday

This year's bday is especially special, cos i got bb Skyler to celebrate it with me. But as always, with a bb ard, by the time we are ready to get out of the house, its already almost 2pm. Gone were the days where we can wake up, wash up and go out for the whole day. Lots of things to pack and prepare/bring. Our itinerary for the day? Resort world, Singapore flyer and lastly Jewel Box / cable car.

Can you imagine how suanku i am. I have never been to IR or MBS, thus we took the opportunity to go walk ard. Will wait till Skyler is older and when i no longer bf (so that i wont need to look for nursing room to pump) then will we be gg to Universal Studio. Nothing much caught my eyes while at IR except for “Livewire”. Any idea what is it? Its SINGAPORE POOLS! Damn high class loh. You would nv expect it to be the Singapore pools from the outside.

Outside daddy's work place

On board Sentosa Express. As ususal, he seems to be afraid of the ride.

Bought my fav popcorn! Taste even better with macadamia nuts.

As hubby applied for the ASA card (his company's welfare card), we went to the Singapore Flyer free of charge. Now to use the card, need to produce staff pass, thus hubby got to do all the tickets exchange himself. During the ride, Skyler poos and we changed his diaper in it..lol..guess he might be the first baby to have his diaper changed onboard of the flyer..keke

Hee, we have the whole capulse to ourselves!

Highest bb in Singapore for that 10 seconds

After flyer, we headed down to Jewel box for dinner, wanting to catch their muscial light and snow display. Much to our disappointment, when we were there, we realise the so call snow is actually soap! So Skyler couldnt join in the snowing expereince. Dinner at Jewel box was quite bad. Food were lousy and expensive, even thou they looked quite nice.

our drinks

Seafood spagehtti

Miserable duck breast thats not even filling

I love this shot! So funny. Skyler "ah blish" daddy..lol

He is trying to eat his hand while i am trying to keep him still to take a decent pic

At the "snowing"area

After dinner, we hop on the cable car and went for a round trip.

Today Skyler did a lot of "first". His first Flyer and first cable car ride. I wonder is his bday or mine..lol

Christmas at T3

Brought Skyler to T3 to jalan jalan on 12th Dec. Its his first time there and he seems excited by it. I told him we are going gai gai and he can see aeroplanes, after which he started kicking excitedly. Not sure if he can really understand what i am trying to say or just pure co-incident. Lol.. As compared to the other terminals, i find that T3 is more child friendly. They have colourful and pretty walls, playground and even a giant slide that stretches 3 storey high! You can take from level 1 to B2 or from B1 to B2. As its Christmas time, Christmas decors are up.

All ready to go gai gai

With daddy. Kiddy style walls are spotted at T3

A gaint bouncing castle.

Haa, he is more interested at looking at me than at the camera

Guess what, its Skyler's first time on the Skytrain and he is afraid! He refuse to stay in his stroller and was crying to be carried.

Passport photo

Going for a short trip with Skyler boy in Jan, so now is the time to take his passport photo. Requirements are:

- Subjected should be full face, front view with eyes opened

-make sure the photo present the full head from the top of hair to bottom of chin and centered the head within frame

-Ensure that facial features are clearly evident in the photo

- No alternation, removal, amendment or enhencement of the photo is performed. This includes removal or addition of birth marks, moles or tattoos.

Its a real challenge to attract Skyler's attention to look at me without making his smile (as his eyes would become smaller in the process). It took us at least 20 shots to make him look at us, without smiling and keep still enough for a shot that is sharp.

A bit fierce looking but no choice. Thats the best we got.

Mum's Birthday

Celebrated Mum's birthday 27th Nov (actual day is on 30th nov) at Copthorne Kings. Had pengang buffet at their resturant. Actually preferred the buffet at Orchard hotel, but mum prefers Copthorne Kings, so went there instead. Its Skyler's first visit to a resturant in a hotel. Generally he was quite well behave other than when he wanted to sleep and became cranky.

Self entertaining

Skyler likes to self-rock himself

Skyler Wee

There are so many things that i liked about my bb. I liked the way he looked, the way he smell, the way he behaves (except when he start to shout for attention..). I liked it when Skyler:

- Give me his ultimate sunshine smile early in the morning when i greet him good morning

- “Talk” to his cot mobile to self-entertain himself when he is awake in the morning but me and daddy are still sleeping

- “Sing” with me when i sing to him

- “Talk” to me and give me his 100% attention when i am talking to him

- Self rock himself by kicking his legs when placed on his rocker

- Play with his caterpillar’s legs (which acts as his bolster for the time being) or the corner of his pillow when drifting into sleep

- Gives me his innocent puppy eyes look

- Lie on his tummy and watch me getting ready for work every morning

- Laugh out loud / smile in his sleep

- Smile when he was sang “When you happy and you know” and when daddy play peek-a-boo with him

- snuggle with me on my bed when sleeping

Another kid?!

I m one of the unlucky ones whose menses didn't stop even thought I m breastfeeding. It came straight after my lochia n has alr passed 2 cycles. My 1st 2 cycles was normal n on time n thus when my 3rd cycle didn't come, i started to panic. Not again! Not now... Its too soon to give Skyler a sibling. We did all precautions n protections so it's not possible... is it? Was worried for a few days n was contemplating if I shld do the kit test when it finally came. Almost 2 weeks late n boy was i happy to see it. So another kid? Maybe a yr or 2 later bah....

Vaccines

Brought Skyler for his 4th mth jabs today. There r 2 jabs (5 in 1 n pne) n 1 oral vaccine (rota). Poor boy, kenna poke on both thighs. He cried while he was jabbed n subsequently continue to "complain" for a few mins after tat.. Lol. Luckily for his rota, he didnt puke the med out, if not we wld have wasted the money.

At cmg close to 4 mths, Skyler weighs 6.7kg n measured 62cm. He is at 50 percentile, ie not too heavy or light nor too tall or short. Just nice =D

The PD did warn us abt fever n I have gotten every thing ready; thermometer, cooling pad, fever med. Skyler did develop a fever of 38.1 just now. Fed him the fever med n put on the cooling pad n his temp went back dwn to 37.3 hopefully he can have a good nite sleep tonight.

Poor bb, hope u feel better soon ya

He understands!

Seriously sometimes I think Skyler understand what I am telling him. For example last nite when I was putting him to bed, I told him,"Baby, tmr is Saturday. Don't need to wake up so early. You can sleep in." Then guess wat... Now at 630am, he is still asleep. For the past 1 week , he has been up ard 5+am n had his first feed at 6am. So now, I m waiting for him to wake up for his breakfast lol..

Would be bringing him for his jabs later. Hopefully won't develop fever.

Updates

Sometimes back I brought Skyler to swimming pool to swim. At first he cried n kept holding onto me. But after while, he got used to the water n was kicking away exploring the bb pool :) I think he cried was becos the water was a bit cold but soon enough he got used to it.

On a separate note, earlier on I was deciding if I should invest in a bumbo chair or not so tat he can sit upright while watching tv. But I ended up buying a 2nd hand Evenflo exersaucer. Am happy with my purchase cos other than serving as an arm chair for Skyler, he can also play with it.

He loves it!

Flip lo

Skyler managed to successfully flipped this morning at 3 mths 1 week old. Previously when he flipped, his left hand is stuck underneath. But now, he has successfully pull out his left hand. Also as he still cant lift up his head properly, he was calling for help whenever he flipped over..hai..and he has been doing that for the whole morning! Faint...

Long nite

Tonite wld be my 1st nite sleeping w/o hubby since we got married a yr plus ago. He went on reservist n is on duty tonite. Feels weird to be sleeping alone w/o his snoring lol... Hopefully Skyler wld be guai guai tonite n won't fuss much.

Another milestone

Skyler just flipped onto his tummy just now!! I didn't see him flip thou cos I was in the kitchen sterilizing the bottles after I left him on the bed on his back. I heard him eh-ing away so I went back to check. Saw him on his tummy unable to flip back thus was calling for "help". Actually it's quite dangerous cos he still can't hold his head up quite well. So I guess it's more tummy time for now. But I am still happy tat he managed to flip on exactly his 3rd mth bday :)

Happy 3rd month Skyler

Time flies. In a flick of eyes, Skyler is already 3 months old today. It only seems like yesterday that i delivered him and doing my confinement. Soon i would be going back to work. I would surely miss you baby... Within these 3 months, Skyler have grown alot. From a 2 hrly feeding to 3 hrly (lookg fwd to 4 hrly feeds) and from always sleeping to be more interactive now. From only crying to smiling at me and baby talk to me with all his cccooo, arrhh and ggrrr...from just staring daze-ly at other items to knowing how to reach out and grab his toys.

Stay healthy, happy and less cranky Baby Skyler. Mummy and daddy loves you lots! XOXO

Baby Skyler

Clothes once so loose is now getting tight

My precisious baby, you are growing high

One day, two day, three days more

Growing, growing and growing to be three months old

Meeting little frens

For the 1st time, i venture out with Skyler in his stroller alone! Its not as bad as i think it was. At first was worried that i wont be able to carry him in one hand and use the other to close/open/lower back rest of the stroller. But after a whole day of practicing on sunday, i manage to do it.

Its my 2nd time bringing him out alone. The 1st time, i hand carried him all the way..lol..ended up with quite badly cramped arms. Anyway, today, met up with Bindi (daughter, Leola) and Yuki (daughter, Hebe) at Vivo for coffee. All of us are Sep 09 brides and 2010 mummies. Its also my 1st time meeting Yuki. We just met for a shot 3 hrs and i had to rush back home....to pump again..hai..am prisoner to being a cow..

On the way there

Hebe (Mar'10), Leola (Jul'10) n Skyler (Jul'10) - Skyler is more interested in the ceiling fan than "interacting" with his little frens..lol..

Splash!!

Brought Skyler for his 1st swim today at the Baby Spa at Hwa Xia. Actually i have alr ordered a neck float for him so that we can bring him to the swimming pool to swim. But we wanna intro him into the "waters" in a heated environment first before gg for the pool, so there we are, at Hwa Xia :) He totally love to be in the swimming tub and was kicking away happily. Ppl walking pass the shop also stopped by to have a look...lol.. As its Skyler's 1st time, he was only allowed to be in the water for 15 mins. He totally conk out after that and was sleeping for most part of our shopping.

Showing his flying kicks

Doing warm up exercise before gg into the tub

And he loves it!

Ahhh...water abit cold arh...

But its still ok

Going to Aaa-chhooo..

After the swim, we went to shop ard for a bit before stopping by the foodcourt for some drinks.
