2 Months going 3 Months...

Kingsley is going to be 3 months soon, though it feels like I just gave birth to him. How time flies, when one is occupied. He is growing and progressing well, I hope this will continue which means he will soon be able to reach his 1st baby milestone - flipping over frm back to tummy and vice versa. We have been giving him 10 mins tummy exercise regime everyday since 1 month to train him to lift his head and shoulder, this "mini push ups" will build up his arms muscle which is essential for the rolling over skill. But most of the time he fell asleep after 5 mins!

First 3 months Progress
1. Grown physically (Bigger and taller - a chance for me to revise his wardrobe)
2. Able to lift his head up and turn his head from side to side while on his tummy.
3. Responding (smile and mumble baby language) when we talk/play/flash cards to him.  He replies us in baby language when we talk to him. Pays attention when we flash him cards (no longer show the not interested face) He even smile/talk to the speaker and lights.
4. Showing signs of teething, soon he will be biting Sophie.




Happy to see him developing good, however this also means that my maternity leave is coming to an end real soon. I will no longer be able to be by his side everyday and be the first to discover his new found skills (not sure if this is a mother thing). I am so going to miss him, sometimes I do wish I am a full time mum rather than a full time working mum. If possible I would definitely want to take a few years off work to accompany my kids through their toddlerhood - to educate, play and learn with them. Well it is just a thought, a few more years to consider before realising it.

Sophie Giraffe

We bought Sophie Giraffe as Kingsley Children's Day present. I have read raves about this toy in the magazines. The giraffe is made of natural rubber and food paint so no worries for him to chew on to ease his sore gums during teething stage. The spots are painted in dark and contrasting colors that captures his attention.


Staring at his new toy

Playing with it
He giggles everytime we squeeze the giraffe. Glad that he likes it.

1st Vaccination with Daddy and Mummy

Last Monday Kingsley had his first jab with us, we were wondering what would his reactions be. We thought he would cry and throw tantrum. But to our surprise he just let out a loud cry to indicate "Ouch!! Pain!! something just poked my butt cheek". My brave boy, keep it up!! There are more to go.
