caught in the act



taking things out from drawers

 

mess creator

don't know if i'm right to say yu ze is a naughty boy. he loves to explore everything around him which is supposed to be good for his growth and development. however, his exploration exercise is no good for us. we have to keep clearing the mess he had created.

follow up

today yu ze had an appointment at kk to do his last follow up scan for his previous case of uti. the scan this time round required him to fast. therefore, his last feed must be done before 730am. usually, he will wake up around 630am cos that is the time we leave for babysitter's place. however, he didn't wake up at 630am. i waited till about 7am, hoping that he will auto wake up but again he didn't. i have no choice but to disturb his sleep and wake him up around 710am for feed. i think its cos i disturb his sleep, he didn't drink much milk. so i try to give him so bread to 'tong' his tummy. he also refuse to eat and had very little of it.

we reach kk at 830am and due to the swine flu, all of us did temperature check before entering. at the diagnostic imaging clinic, we are told of what is going to happen later on and the whole thing will take about 3 hours to complete. in order for them to inject medicine in yu ze's body, they need to put that 'drip' thing on his hand. the poor boy was taken away by the nurse to prepare that as i told them i don't want to see.

well, the room is not far away from us either so we can hear him crying very loudly from outside. after much struggle, he was finally brought out of the room for us again. as he was struggling throughout the process, the nurses end up having to poke him twice cos the one for the hand failed, so they poke him again on the foot. yu ze was still crying a bit when he was in our arms. i see him like that i also heart pain and started crying too.

waited for a while before the doc came and inject the medicine in him. we are told to come back after 2 hours for the scan cos they need the medicine to move in the body first before they do the scan. during this 2 hours, don't let yu ze sleep. how is it possible not to let him sleep? i know they meant well when they say don't let him sleep so that 2 hours later, he will sleep while doing the scan. if not, he need to be put on sedation for him to sleep for the scan. having sedation do have some side effects on him.

i know yu ze can't 'tong' so long for not sleeping, so immediately after the injection of medicine, i let him nap. he napped for 30 minutes and wake up at 10am. we brought him to novena square for a walk and to waste time before heading back to kk for scan at 1130am.

lucky, i was able to make him sleep just before the scan so he didn't have to be put on sedation. the scan is completed in 20 minutes and i got the nurse to remove the 'drip thing' while we are in the scan room. yu ze woke up crying due to the pain when the nurse remove it.

we will be coming back to see the report on 2 june. hopefully, he will clear it and be discharge for uti. we measure yu ze's weight and he is only 7.2kg, only at 3 percentile. sure to get nagging from pd again on our next visit.

mother's day

though this is my first mother's day, i didn't spend a lot of time with yu ze. we leave him with babysitter around 1.30pm cos we went to catch a play at 2.30pm at drama centre. i have been wanting to watch 天冷就回来 when they first show in 2007 but didn't manage to go then. so this year i'm not going to miss it again. cos yu ze sleeps quite early, so we have to watch 2.30pm play as it going to be a 3 hour play. most of the tickets are sold out when i bought it, only manage to get 2 tickets on this day.

after the play, we had dinner first before heading back to babysitter's place to pick him up. by then its already around 8pm which is yu ze's bedtime. we brought him home, feed milk and he fall asleep shortly. 

no celebration in a way, just a quiet mother's day. hopefully, next year mother's day will have some sort of celebration or something from yu ze.

yu ze - 9 months

 

in another 3 months time, my baby will not be a baby liao. he had grow so fast that i seems to miss out a lot of his development or lost count of them. yu ze is still as active as before or maybe even more. he will crawl from living room to kitchen to our bedroom to his room to dining room to study room. he had been to almost every spot of the house except the toilets cos we closed the door to prevent him from entering. 

now he likes me to chase after him when he crawls. whenever i pretend to chase him, he will crawl very fast to get away from me. of course he will laugh out loud when i catch hold of him and swing him up in the air. he will hold on to furniture and move around a bit. but he don’t like to hold on to push walker to move around. anyway, i can’t imagine him walking around. the house seems to be so messy now with him just crawling around cos he will leave evidence of where he had been by leaving his toys behind.

as he grows, darling and i feel that he really got a very naughty look. we are trying to figure out who he takes after. of course, we are pushing the blame for his naughty look to each other. hahah…. but whatever it is, yu ze is still our precious.

another milestone

yeah!!!! yu ze knows how to come down from bed to the floor liao. just now, he did it twice for us to see. babysitter had taught him that he can't come down with his head down first. he should turn his body so that his buttock will come down first. he had master the skill and is able to do it without help. he knows how to lay on his tummy and turn his body. then push himself down from the bed. then he either stand by the bed or sit down on the floor. i try to take his video but memory card full. when the memory card is ready, then battery flat. its just not my day man. never mind, i'm going to find a chance to video him doing that soon. baby, mummy is so proud of you.

yu ze - 8 months

time really flies, yu ze is already 8 months old. as usual, his weight and height growth is still below 10 percentile or maybe 5. for there rest of his developments are ok, he seems to have develop quite fast compare to his peers.

he is able to pull himself up to standing position and is very good at it liao. ah gong says he is a 'hao lian di' cos he will stand up and hold with only one hand. he likes to crawl around the house to explore and touch anything and everything. he had 2 tooth each on the upper and lower gums. the upper tooth is still not obvious as they are just making their way out. as he grows, i seems to have less milestone to blog about. hehe....

its very easy to take him away from us. as long as you have food or you tell him, you are going to bring him gai gai he will sure to follow. he is more 'teh' towards darling now. whenever, darling came back from outside. yu ze will sure to crawl towards him. hump!!! so jealous.

1st photoshoot



 we brought yu ze for his virgin photo shoot toda its very tiring trying to catch yu ze's attention on the camera. he is super active. just like the duracell rabbit, always on the move. its so hard to catch a moment of him not moving. lucky the photographer is very patient, we still manage to get some pretty nice shots.

 

finally, we have our very first family photo taken too. there is something that i must boast about, i can still wear my rom dress. i'm so happy about it. i brought my rom dress for the photo shoot today. change into it for our family photo when yu ze is wearing the tuxedo (thank you, matt. matt lend yu ze his suit). 

darling also realised that there is a one photo look like him when he was young. same kind of posture too. hehehe....
