I am kinda struggling with this one.
Caitlin, in general is sweet to her younger brother Caleb. Since she was able to walk, she’d been fascinated by other humans her size. So, I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she is so, to her little brother.
However, having been the only child for [...]
I started this blog about 2 years ago now. Caitlin would have been about 2.5 years old then.
If memory serves me right, I would have already done this memorable (at least to me) routine with her already: HM was always working late, so it was up to me to tuck Caitlin into bed. At her [...]
I have mentioned about his shifty eyes, looking at Daddee funny with an attitude, when he was only 6 months old.
Now he doesn’t look at me when I tell him off.
He’d sometimes take forever to finish his bottle of milk. 3/4 through and he’d stop, get off the sofa, wanders around for whatever / whoever. [...]
“Back in the day” when I was single and first started out having my own (bachelor’s) pad, I went and got myself a beanbag- a double seater beanbag, for bringing dates home, cook them dinner, maybe get them to watch a DVD with me on this beanbag hoping to lead somewhere *wink*
Somehow [...]
Hissychick blogged about this.
I had wanted to respond there with mine, but didn’t quite know which one to mention, until this morning.
Last night / wee hours this morning Caleb woke crying. Mind you his cries are a combo of wail and screams.
And kept on crying and crying.
And crying and crying and crying.
I did hear Hot [...]
Caleb turned 1 in Jan ‘09.
Today he did these….
And then, for the first time(s?) in his life, he stood!
The following pic was actually not the first time he managed to stand. That first time that he did manage to stand, we broke into cheers and applause that frightened him, and literally made him weak [...]
And.. a… ONE!
And.. a.. TWO!
And.. a.. Hey I am up!
And…OOPS!
Happy First Birthday, Caleb!
Soon you will be walking, and running, and we’d be chasing…..!
Here’s today’s short post direct from my iPhone..
“Hands many many” is the (local?) Chinese vernacular for kids who must touch everything they see..
I think we have one (in the making) in our household… See?
Is it that, while drinking from his bottle, while staring up at you, he widens his lips, shows you his 5-teeth, whilst still gritting the teat between his teeth?
Is it that, afterwards, while suppressing your urge to laugh at His Royal Cuteness, that you grunt at him to get back to concentrate (as much as [...]
No, I didn’t tell him off..
No, I didn’t scold him..
No, he wasn’t just crying..
No, he isn’t deprived of sleep..
He was just being himself, was happy rolling around our big bed before and after this shot was taken.
Honestly there was no abuse going on!
Daddee drifts in and out of sleep at his desk…
Daddee has started developing a headache by mid-morning…
Oh- sorry, did you call me?
An ongoing struggle…
He doesn’t seem to be breaking the habit…
3 nights in a row, he’s woken twice for feeds, and 3 times just because…
Or was it 4 times? It’s all a blur…
No! It was [...]
I told you he looks at his Daddee funny……
This week, actually for the past 3 weeks, Hot Mummee took it upon herself to craft her company’s business plan.
Apparently the company has never had one. In hearing her describe the sections that are to go in, it sounded more like an extended version of a company profile than a business plan; a 12 [...]
“Daddee…. DADDee…. DADDEE….”
No, no; “Mummee…. MUMMee…. MUMMEE…..”
No, no; “Jie jie…. JIE JIE!”
(Yes, even Caitlin now understands the prestige that comes with this!)
Well, it’s been two nights in a row now that Caleb’s slept through the whole night without waking. Well, almost.
He knocked off around 9:30pm or 10pm, and didn’t wake till about 5:30am-ish.
But that’s good enough for this Daddee and Mummee.
He also feeds less crankily since he’s also had a good rest; but just enough that [...]
When babies are just being babies, you tend to forgive them when they are flailing their arms and legs around and inadvertently hits or knocks something over. You know they are only learning and practising their motor skills, and most times over-exert these motors.
Examples of accidents and over-exertions include smacking the carrier’s face, head-butting the [...]
