And daddy often lets him does it...

Stand-up...

Aiden has grown so fast and he had started standing up with support about more than a month ago. Now he can stand for long periods of time when holding on to something. His can crawl very fast and sit by himself too. We can hardly catch up with him sometimes.

Can imagine how busy we'll be when he starts walking by himself...

Aiden loves to stand on the bed...he'll sweep everything off the ledge

Aiden can sit very well by himself...

And standing up by in the cot too....

Girly Aiden with Ponytail

Aiden had a ponytail when he came out and greet us when we got home. He looked so pretty...can easily fake off as a girl. As he grows older, he looks more like mummy than daddy. His deep double eyelids are now not as deep. So sad...but still very pretty.

Aiden's 1st Play Time in Inflatable Pool

Aiden has always liked playing with water and he's grown too big to play in the baby tub anymore. All the water will splash out when he kicks or smack his hands on the water.

So we went to Toys R' Us to buy an inflatable pool for him to play in. The tub was on offer and was selling at $15.90 instead of the usual price $19.90. Surprisingly, the pool wasn't that expensive, but it was a plain pool, so that may be the reason for the lower price. We saw a few other pools that had disney and cartoon characters on it that cost double or more of the pool we bought.

We hurried home to test out the pool. We filled the pool with air and fill it up with 1/3 of the pool with water as Aiden is still too small to swim in it. The pool is so big...doubt we can it in the toilet of our new flat. May have to do it on the balcony next time.

Daddy went into the pool as well to play with Aiden and boys being boys, both had a great time in the water. Aiden was kicking and splashing water throughout the whole time in the water. Doubt if i didn't pull him out, he and his Daddy would have sit in it till their skin becomes wrinkled like raisin.

Aiden Loves His Keyboard & Mouse

Amongst his pile of toys, Aiden still loves playing with the keyboard and the mouse the most. We simply don't understand why. Seems like many of my friend's babies love it as well.

So we took a dummy keyboard and let him play with it. He clings onto it for a while then wasn't interested in it anymore. Guess he must have sensed that it is not a working keyboard. Kids and their intuition...dont' know if he'll be interested in computers and IT like his dad.

Typing like a pro...see how engross he is

Chicken Pox

Aiden got the shingles virus from mummy and developed his 1st chicken pox when he's 7 months old. Luckily we detected it early and quickly brought him to the paeds for anti-viral meds. Paed say he just passed his immunity period (usually between 0-6 mths), thus had a higher chance of getting the virus. He is too young to take the chicken pox vacine too.

Thank God for watching over Aiden. Throughout the duration of the outbreak, he didn't fetch any complications from the chicken pox virus as it can sometimes affect the brain and lungs in young children. He felt fine and didn't not have much discomfort. Think the anti-viral minimised the volume of the outbreak and the wounds dried up very quickly as well.

Steam Stone Stung Aiden

Lately Aiden is getting naughtier and naughtier...always crying in the night and waking up mulitple times. Sometimes don't even want to sleep when it's past midnight.

Today he woke up very early at 7+ in the morning while we were preparing to go to work. Look at his steamy face and spiky hair...so cuteee...



Aiden Tired from House Viewing

Today we brought Aiden along to Compass Point for dinner and then proceeded to nearby block for house viewing. Since we were early, we waited for our agent Stephanie at the void deck near the lift area. Think he must have been tired from waiting, soon after he felt asleep. The weather was so humid so we had to fan him occasionally to keep him cool.

Present from Auntie Diana

Aiden received a Puma tee and jacket as a present from his aunt Diana today. Looks like Aiden will have plenty of clothes to wear for the next few months.

Aiden Touching Musical Mobile

Aiden's hands can now reach the soft toys on musical mobile...soon he will be pulling it instead of touching it.

Nap Time at Grand-aunt's House

After having his vacine, we went to Potong Pasir to visit auntie Jean at Potong Pasir since it has been a while we've been there with Aiden.

He must have been tired thus he got grouchy and wanted to take his nap. Auntie Jean managed to pat his to sleep while i was pumping milk in the room. BB was in the room with me as well as he was shy to be alone with auntie Jean.

Injection Day - 3rd Vacine

Today Aiden went to the baby clinic for his 3rd vacine. He had 2 jabs and 1 oral vacine. Weighing 6.9kg and 65.5cm tall, the paed said that he was in good shape. Paed say he can start having solid food already but must slowly introduce him to each ingredient 1 by 1 to monitor his body's reaction to it. Best to introduce veg and fruits to him first and then meat and seafood when he's above 6 months old.

Aiden's Baby Passport

Aiden finally got his passport...his picture in the passport is so adorable. Mummy placed it on FB and her friends commented the same too. Can't wait to have his passport stamped for the first time but Aiden is still very small...have to wait till he's at least 1 year old before he is strong enough to travel.

Aiden Holding Bottle on His Own

After a few attempts to teach Aiden how to hold the bottle by himself, Aiden has finally managed to do so, although not very stable. His hands are still not very strong and couldn't hold it for long. But it's a step forward.

He tends to play with the tits by biting it instead of drinking the milk and in the end his whole face will be covered with milk or water. Naughty boy! Think it'll be a long time before he can fully grasp the bottle properly by himself.

Finally pulling it away from his mouth...naughty boy

Is Aiden going to speak soon???

Aiden has been making many different types of vocal sounds nowadays, even when playing by himself. Is he going to speak soon? Is he going to call mummy or daddy or ah ma 1st? We're all very excited.

Sailor Romper

We purchased these 2 rompers on Gmarket a few weeks back but the size was super super big...think it could easily fit kids who are 2 years old and above. We finally managed to changed the romper size to a smaller one from the seller but still it is very big for Aiden to wear now. But i doubt we'll have to wait for long as he's growing at quite a fast rate. He is now already able to wear clothes for 6 mths old and above.

Aiden Loves His Musical Toy

We bought this musical mobile during the Motherhood sale earlier this month and Aiden simply loves it. It's surprising how it can sooth him at times when he's grouchy or crying. We can lay him down in his cot with the mobile turned on, and he'll play by himself.

Aiden with Teddy

Don't know what is it, but Aiden have a tendency to get teddy bears. First it was a teddy bear from Edward, then we got a teddy bear when signing up the Jusco membership and next the AIA receptionist gave him a bear to play with since he is so cute.

Polo T-shirts from Gmarket

Yesterday BB gave me a surprise by opening a package from Gmarket. Inside it were 2 Polo tees from Korea which we saw a few days ago and they were slightly more expensive. I liked them very much and wanted to buy it but BB said that they were too expensive so in the end we didn't buy. Secretly, he went to order them from Gmarket to surprise me.

A Trip to ICA for Aiden's Passport

As my mother-in-law was also going for a day trip on 18 June - the day we are going to Batam for my birthday, i was thinking of bringing Aiden along instead of asking my aunt to baby sit cos she may not know his sleeping habits.

So we hurriedly applied for the his passport online yesterday night, hoping that we will be able to get his passport before Saturday. And in order to expedite the process, i brought Aiden down to ICA this afternoon to request for early passport collection. They told me that i would be able to get the passport by Thursday. What a relief!

Aiden was starting to be hungry and so we went to the nursing room so that i can breast feed him. However, the door was unlockable, so i had to make formula for him. To my horror, i realised that i didn't bring it along...only remembered to bring water. What's the point of having water and no formula. I also forgot to bring the 2nd most important thing - WIPES. I wanted to faint on that spot. Why have i become so forgetful nowadays. This day was a terrifying day. I couldn't remember many things. I panicked many times cos i couldn't remember whether i kept the ezylink card or not, whether i have placed my wallet and his birth cert back into the backpack already. I was really on the verge of tears. It's really scary and i was thinking what will happen if i really have amnesia when i grow old. Will i ever forget my husband and children?

Aiden1st Salon Haircut

After dim sum at Old Hong Kong, we went to NEX for BB hair cut appointment at NK salon. Seeing that Aiden was fast asleep, we asked the stylist to give him a trim FOC. He sat still throughout the hair cut and woke up when it was almost done. The staff couldn't resist his cute looks and kept playing with him. They even carried him when he had poo. Hope Aiden will be as well-behaved and sit still when he's having his hair cut in future. If not, we're gona have a big headache.

Zzzz...well asleep

Motherhood Fair

Today we went to the Motherhood fair with Donny, Mindy and mother-in-law. It was the last day of the exhibition so it was pretty crowded. Some of the stalls were already packing up when we arrived at 7.30pm.

We saw the rotating tiggle for the cot selling at a discount for $29.90, which is about $10 cheaper than John Little or other departmental stores. We immediately bought it as we have been looking for a cheap and nice one for a very long time. The ones at the departmental stores are very expensive and the cheapers models are very fragile and the dolls very shabby.

Musical mobile on sale...Aiden simply loves it

We also bought 3 Poney tops for Aiden which was on sale for $9 each.

It was getting late and we haven't had our dinner yet. So we went to Lerk Thai at the Expo for dinner. We had stir-fry minced chicken with basil leave, beef, baby kailan, fish cake in spicy sauce, fried egg and 2 small bowls of tom yam soup. We shared a portion of mango with glutinous rice for dessert.

We then rush over to John Little which was also exhibiting and it is also the last day already. There was an additional 10% discount given for all products.

Daddy bought a pair of grey Pedro working shoes which was on 50% off. Although it was on sale, the shoes still cost $69.90, which is quite expensive to me. He was so lucky as there was only 1 last pair of size 41. We also bought our usual fried ikan bilis and peanuts.
