Growing up with Nathaniel; Day358-Day391

30 January 2015

Week 56!

Been very busy!  Not just with work but now into personal grooming... just gotten my eyelash extension done so that I can has extra 5-10mins of sleep!  Now I can skip the usual drawing of eye liner and apply mascara - that's kinda shorten my makeup session each time I leave the house (ah Thiang kept complaining I took an hour+++ to get ready... have meh??).  Well, sometimes it just gets a bit difficult to get time-off to groom myself...  *sigh*

Anyway, I have been constantly updating baby N's milestones by milestones from time to time separately on my iPhone so I can still craft a complete post by the end of the day!

We brought baby N for his one-year old vaccination on Week 53 and it turns out OK - meaning, he didn't get after effects like fever, cough, cold etc... (touchwood x1203897285762384129481) or was it because Nainai made the 洋渗水 the day before, and plus I gave him a teaspoon of Panadol before we leave the house... so the after effects were suppressed?  This combination so powder-ful ahhh... must share with fellow mommies!

Milestones from week 52 to week 56...
  1. he bites Daddy until he's left with a 'love-bite' mark on his wrist - 4/1/2015... and my turn got bit on 27/1/2015 when I trying to rock him to sleep...
  2. he can stand on his own and free-fall after 1sec on our bed...
  3. he recognized who is Mama and Nainai and will call out in a very 'teh' tone...
  4. he will look up to our wedding photo and points to the photo when I asked "where's mama?"...
  5. he recognized banana and will say 'nar nar nar' and points to the banana whenever we ask "where is the banana?"...
  6. his second 3-syllables word is banana, so loud so clear...
  7. he starts to occasionally co-sleep with Nainai since week 53...
  8. he doesn't like to lie down and have his pampers changed (now I has to use my iPhone to keep him distracted)... so worry my screen will crack at the rate he uses his strength to press...
  9. he knows want/don't want, like/no like... when feed him food, ask nice or not, he nods his head... if he doesn't like something he will shook his head... he hears music, he will shake along...
  10. he shook his head when I asked him to share something with me...
  11. he says 'pern' when it means "open"... and can say "o-pern" already...
  12. he gave flying kisses when bidding goodbye, then say "bai"...
  13. he called out Mommy instead of Mama - 21/1/2015...
  14. he will use his palm and cover his ear when he hear us calling out "hello hello..." - we pretending to call him on his phone...
  15. he has now 8 teeth - another small white tooth emerging out from his top left 3rd tooth...
  16. he has phobia of sleeping... so when we try to position him in cradle position, or say "sleep/nap" he will struggle for his life and push himself off from that terrifying position...
  17. he's waking up crying around 12+am or middle of the night and I couldn't figure out why...

#day372 - 就是他哪 curly-fries 般的头发,迷死了很多少女和安蒂!
 
 
#day372 - Daddy decided to top up his play yard with 500 more balls...  Immersed himself in his very own ball pool!
 
 
#day382 - Can't get enough of his pretty darn curly hair!
 
 
#day383 - Can't remember what commotion is about... he was seated with us on his new stokke chair while we had our dinner.  Then he was feeling bored and all he did was a bit of pulling here and there.  I scolded him and he started to fuss about.  So in order to take picture of his existing 8 teeth, I let him cry longer but only able to capture only the bottom 4 teeth!  :(  #badmama
 
 
#day385 - My little man now has 8 teeny-weeny teeth!
 
 
#day385 - The son is very much excited about his first caricature portrait!  We saw this artist outside NTUC sketching other people, so we also KPO-ed and Q for our turn!  It's a collaboration between NTUC and the artist.  #likefatherlikeson
 
 
#day387 - My baby is a messy night sleeper!  #patternliaoliao
 

*ps: #day387 ends on 26 January 2015

Nathaniel's BIG ONE Birthday Party!

05 January 2015

My lil' man turns ONE and we have organized a BIG ONE party for him at The Scala (the Lim's pad...)!  Just finished the second round of celebrations at home and here are the photos which pretty summed up the day's event!

Happy, Blessed Birthday Son!  May you stay happy and healthy always.  Papa Mama love you loads!  #day364

 
It's carnival theme!
 
 
Old skool toys for the young and not so young...

 
 
Bouncing castle and ball pool for the super young... (spot my future d-I-l?)

 
ah Thiang's dreamed DIY popcorn and candy floss station!  We did not manage to get slushies' machine caused the idea came on the eleventh hour... 
 
 
My cake was melting away (... I called it "disfigured") when it arrived... luckily I had the cake toppers (in carnival theme too!) to save the day so it does not affect my mood too much...  :-(  But the review for the cake was not too bad too!
 
 
A family shot first!
 
 
He chose the money then calculator... does it mean he will be the future "Calculative", "Business" man-to-be?

 
To our surprise, the event turned out to be quite a BIG crowd!  My son so has so much "face"!

 
We thanked everyone who came and celebrated Baby N's 1st Year Old birthday party and special thanks to the Yeos, the Lims and Julie for their help!  After the party, we went to 333 Bak Kut Teh for a thank you dinner to the helpers who stayed and helped throughout the party!
