"Pa Pa" and "Da Da"

Kingsley mouthed "Pa Pa" and "Da Da" this afternoon, I immediately texted Hubby who was on ict that his son knows how to call him. His reply was he is not seeing me and calling me so factually he is not calling me. That is true, being able to mouth those words are babies natural advancement so matching the word to the person is our role. But at least half the job is done when he knows how to say those words. Great improvement Boy!!

At his 9 months check up, the PD told us that he can say "Ah". Two more addition to his word list.

Developmental Milestone: 9 months and 19 days

Daddy turns Hairdresser

We didnt shave Kingsley bald when he turned 1 mth old as hubby felt that his scalp was too tender then. At 8 mths old, his hair was rather long and thick. Being an active little one and with the terrible weather recently, he just keep perspiring causing his head to stink. Even sleeping in air con room doesnt help, so we decided to trim his hair.

Before

After (Not bad right)

The haircut happens to bear some resemblance of a little boy on BabyTV. Heehee.. Maybe that is where Daddy got his inspiration.

Us with our new hair cut!!

Happy Mother's Day

This year is my 2nd Mother's day, no celebration for me as I was down with wisdom tooth infection. We intend to celebrate with my mum in law on sat and mum on sun, but decided to cancel all plans since I can only eat porridge or soupy stuff. So we shall celebrate after my recovery from the extraction of those teeth.

Kingsley colored a card for me. Heehee.. Actually I assisted him by holding his hand, but he is more interested in eating the Crayons then coloring. Although not nicely done, Mummy still loves it because it is your first card to me.

My Mother's day card from Kingsley

All mothers are great. Numerous scarifices they have made from pregnancy to labour to raising the kid to watching them grow old yet asking for no return. I can now totally understand.

Happy Mother's day to my mummy and all.

Pasta meal

Finally I tried out the Bellamy's pasta stars for Kingsley's dinner.

Pasta stars

With the sauce

Ingredients for the sauce
Cherry Tomatos (skined)
Brocolli
Carrot
Minced Meat (Pork)

I find the sauce too watery, shall buy concentrated tomato puree to thicken it next time.
The boy love his pasta meal!! Glad that he likes it, love trying out new dishes on him. :D

Development at 9 months

1) Pointing
2) Able to stand without holding on for a few seconds
3) Mouth "Ah"

Daddy and Mummy are proud of you for being brave at your 9 months jab. He didnt cry at all.

First Fever

The boy was hit by fever two weeks ago, it hits 38 degree as it was his first fever we brought him to a GP that evening. The GP prescribed us with liquid panadol for his fever and some green liquid for his cough. It was not easy to feed him his medicine, he refused to swallow it (esp cough syrup), worst still he vomitted everything out once. :( We were on 2 days child care leave to monitor his fever and also to catch some rest (waking up every 2 hours to sponge and measure his temperature was tiring).

Playing

It is indeed not easy to be working parents especially when the kids are sick and we have take leave to be with them, but there are so many things to do back in the office. But well, working is also to provide them with better living standard. Irony huh..
