New Clothes

Aiden is growing bigger each day and growing really FAST! He can't put on some of his clothes anymore. So on and off when we see something nice or on sale, we'll buy it for him, especially the impulsive me. My sisters Helen and Diana, and cousin Alvin also bought some baby clothes for him as gifts.

Tops and bottoms from Poney at Metro sale

Sleeping romper from BHG sale

Cotton wear from Kiddy Palace

We went to the Mothercare sale at Habourfront Centre and was pretty disappointed with the sale selection. Didn't managed to get great deals at all except for a few sleeping rompers. 

Cute sleeping rompers from Mothercare

Tops and bottoms from Cotton On Kids

Lately Daddy has been hooked on buying things from Gmarket and online sales...including new clothes for Aiden.

Baseball romper...damn cute

Tights and socks...way too big. Have to wait till he's older.

Sailor rompers...SUPER SUPER BIG. Have to send back for exchange.

Gifts from Helen, Diana and Alvin. Aiden's 1st branded Ralph Lauren shirt.

New Stroller

Aiden is getting heavier so we bought a stroller for Aiden at the OG baby sale at $159.  The stroller came with a free backpack and milk bottles...was a good buy.

Play Time with Daddy

Since Daddy has to go to work in the day, there's isn't much time for him to bond with Aiden except when he returns home at night and on weekends. So Daddy will usually spend more time playing with Aiden whenever he can, especially on weekends. You can see the happiness between them whenever they play.

Head's Up...

Aiden's neck has been getting stronger day by day and can even support his head by his own now. With so many new developments nowadays, he's being more and more fun to play with. How i wish he could grow up faster so that we can bring him for holidays together. I hope i don't miss anything when i return to work next month...just thinking of it upsets me a little.

Rolling Over...

I have been observing that Aiden has started to do the half turn which is pretty fast for a 2 month old baby. He seems to be able to pick things up very fast...hopefully he doesn't pick up the bad things when he grows older. Now i have to always keep a look out for him on the bed and put cushions around him so that he doesn't roll off the bed.

Breast Milk vs Milk Powder

For the last few weeks i have been feeding Aiden breastmilk 90% of the time but it seems like he is not as chubby as he was. Although i know that breastmilk is good for him but i wonder why is his growth lesser compared to the 1st month? Let's see how much he's grown in 3 weeks time at his next visit to the Paedatrican for his routine vacination.

Happy Baby!

When i was pregnant, i was very emotional and would cry quite often, whether it was watching dramas, having a heated discussion with my husband or when i'm frustrated. I'm very relieved that Aiden didn't turn out to be a grouchy, crying baby. He is actually quite cheerful and easy to manage 90% of the time. I hope it continues to be like this as he grows older...

Like Father Like Son...

Aiden's sleeping posture and pattern resembles his father a lot, especially when they sleep side by side. The way their bodies, hands are placed and the direction their faces are placed are so similar to each other.  Almost like a replica...no wonder they say like father like son.

Zzzzz...

The only time i get to do my own things is when Aiden is sleeping. But on and off, i will still turn around to look at him while he sleeps. His chubby little face is so serene when sleeping; it just warms my heart instantly.  

Drool...

Lately Aiden has started to drool and play with his saliva, even putting his fingers into his mouth for sucking.  When i try to pull his fingers away, he gets frustrated. Guess he'll be putting his entire hand into his mouth very soon and drooling non-stop when his starts teething...another stage in his development.

More Breast Milk for Aiden

After taking fenugreek and domperidone for 1 wk, milk supply has increased by double. Aiden can now have more breast milk...

1st time managed to pump 130ml at 1 go

Aiden 2 Months Old

Look how chubby he is now compared to 2 months ago...

Aiden 7 Wks Old - 1st Vacination

Aiden went for his 1st jab today and cried very loudly when the doc jabbed his tiny butt. His grandma made so much noise when she realised that the jab mark was slightly above the fleshy part of his butt. Kept nagging that next time must jab on his fleshy area. 

Aiden 1 Month Old

Aiden has gained a lot of weight within the last 4 weeks...look how much he's grown. Went to the Paeds last week and he said that if he continue to grow at this rate, he may become a big baby. Hehe, i hope so too coz i like to play with chubby babbies.

From 2.725kgs - 4.23kgs at 3 weeks

27 Mar 2011 - Aiden's Full Month Party

We decided to celebrate Aiden's full month a week earlier, 27 Mar, as the actual full month date falls on a Fri which was not convenient for friends and relatives to attend the party. The party was held at Rio Vista Condo function room; there were cupcakes and buffet spread for everyone. Lots of friends and relatives came to celebrate. He is a lucky boy! There were lots of gifts and angbao too for Aiden. Unfortunately Mummy and Daddy were too busy entertaining guests that we forgotten to take pictures. But Daddy still managed to take a few picture before guests arrived.

9 Feb 2011 - Home Sweet Home

Aiden's jaundice level has finally gone down to normal standards and is cleared by the doc for discharge.

Face still very yellowish due to jaundice

7 & 8 Feb 2011 - G6PD & Jaundice

As Aiden has G6PD, his jaundice level suddenly shot up while he was in the hospital and had to extend his stay there for another 2-3 days. It was heart-breaking to leave him alone in the hospital but we knew that it was for his own good. We could only visit him in the hospital everyday and pray that he would be able to go home soon.

5 Feb 2011 - Day 1 After Delivery

After a much needed few hours of sleep and some food, i couldn't wait to see and hold my little Aiden in my arms..requested for the nurse to bring him over to the room eventhough it was not feeding time yet.  With the sunlight shinning through the glass window, i could see him even more clearer - his face, his features, his everything were so beautiful and perfect. He was so small and looks exactly like his daddy.  He will be a handsome boy when he grows up.

Soon, friends and relatives came to visit me and baby Aiden.  Aiden was being carried and pass around like a new toy...it was delightful to watch but at the same time a bit irritating because i didn't want to share him with others...keke.

4 Feb 2011 - D-Day

This day was the most joyous day of our lives. After 13.5hr of grueling contractions and discomfort, little Aiden finally popped out into this world. Throughout my pregnancy, i worried about Aiden's growth and health since Doc Yang kept saying that he was on the smaller side. Finally we got to see him for ourselves; holding him in our hands. He was beautiful and perfect in our eyes.  I thank God for bringing him safely into this world; into our lives...
