Bye bye 2007

A few more hours to go before we we said bye to Year 2007 & usher the Year of 2008. My New Year countdown celebration was fun @ all because DS is sick with fever and even vomitted last night. His temperature shot up to 39.8 tis afternoon. Was so worried that I nearly rushed him to hospital but luckily, fever subsided a bit now. Hopefully, he will be well by tomorrow. Brought him to see doc this morning and his weight is only 8.8kg. Average for his age is abt 9.0 - 9.5 kg. Doc said he is a bit underweight as his birth weight was very good but dun noe why his weight growth is very slow now. Doc recomended that we can let him drink PediaSure to see if there is improvement on his weight growth. Think will let DS try after he is well.

Hmmm...before I forget..let me try to recap DS milestone now that he is 13mth 2 weeks 3 days old..

1) Understand the meaning of throwing, rolling & kicking a ball..

2) Noes how to said more words such ball, duck, dog, H, roll, eyes, up.

3) Finally noes how to drink from a sprout cup. Next I'm going to teach him how to drink from a straw.

4) When asked to dance, he will shake his head..

5) When asked him where's the light, he will look up..

6) Can walked by himself but only for a short distance.

7) Noes how to throw tantrum by lying on the floor and refuse to get up.

Looking at DS different milestone in 2007 has really make me think that a year is gone just likethat. My wish for Year 2008 will be to spend more time with DS, family & friends and that everybody will be happy and healthy.. Happy New Year to all :)

Christmas Celebration

Today is a super tiring day coz after such a long weekend and its back to work..I hope everyone have had a good Christmas this year..Well for us..we did. Prior to Christmas (during Hari Raya Haji) , we have already brought DS to Orchard to see deco and lighting plus we walked all the way from Centerpoint to Tanglin Mall to see those children playing in the fake 'snow'...

On Christmas eve, my sisters & family came over to my hse to have a Christmas feast plus gift exchanged. DS of course enjoyed playing with his cousins and we adults enjoyed the dinner..We had Swensens Ice Cream Cake, pasta (spicy and non spicy), Ham and cheese, Turkey and Chicken soup... After dinner, its gift exchange time..This year, DS received two books from my eldest sis and a Winnie the Pooh tent with 50 balls in it..DS loves playing inside the tent with his cousin. Can see he truly enjoyed himself that day.. Its nice to have such gathering with my sisters as we can catch up with one another and I can chat with them everything and anything under the sun.. More such gatherings in future sisters..

Yesterday, Christmas was spent over at my Sister-In-Law place..They also have a mini gift exchange and DS also received some presents there...But, I haven't upwrapped those pressies yet as DS is not with me now..Shall wait till Fri then let him unwrap those presents himself. Too bad..my present for DS have not arrived yet as I brought some Leap Frog books for him online...

Anyway, now that Christmas is over.must make plans for New Year Celebration :) In case, I do not have the chance to log in to blog..Let me wish you all "Happy New Year and have a wonderful 2008!!"

DS Birthday celebration part 2

Decided to continue to blog on how we celebrate DS actual birthday on the 14th Nov. Actually, I was at that time contemplating whether should I take a day off anot on his birthday as I have just joined a new Co. and did not have many days leave. In the end, still decided to take a day off on that day as I really wanted to spend time with DS.
Woke up early in the morning but it was raining very heavily so sent an sms greeting to Virgo DS as both our boys were born on the same day. I was very dishearted upon seeing the heavy rainpour as I thought that all my plans for that day were going to be cancelled but luckily, the rain stopped at ard 12 plus. So quickly let DS had his lunch and off we set to VivoCity and its the first time that we brought DS to shopping without driving. We took LRT from our hse and then took the NEL train to HabourFront. The journey was quite long and DS was a bit cranky as he did not have his morning nap. Reached VivoCity and just as we stepped into the shopping center, DS felt asleep liao. So me and DH managed to have a peaceful and enjoyable lunch =p
Roamed ard VivoCity for quite a while before we decided to walked over to HabourFront to see see look look. Just then, DS finally woke up from his nap and I saw that there is a Barney kiddy ride nearby so decided to let DS sit and take pic on it. He was so happy playing with the sterring wheel and kept touching Barney's tummy. He was so reluctant to leave that DH got to kept him accompany while I continue my shopping...
Went back over to Vivocity as my plan is to let DS played at the outdoor playground but realised that nothing over there is suitable for his age so told DH that we can perhaps let DS played with water in the outdoor pool instead as it would be more fun for him. Think DS enyoyed it coz he kept wanting to go over the water there even as we left the pool. Too bad, we didn't stayed there for long as we need to go over Compass Point to buy some stuff (But I was so forgetful that I forgotten to buy another cake to bring over to nanny place for the cake cutting session). Anway, DS was so tired that he fell asleep as we were on our way to his nanny place... I really enjoyed myself on that day (coz i had spent a day of quality time with him) and I hope DS have had an enjoyable time too...
