Feeding Time

Feeding time has always been the highlight of each day after Cayden arrived Simply because of the many facial expressions Cayden makes before, during and after feeding.

Like all babies, Cayden cries before feeding. Believe me.. he can get really really loud!



Then, sometimes just before he is given the bottle, he falls asleep! zzz zzz zzz...


Fun part comes when he is being patted to induce burps so as to prevent colic. Check out the various pleading look.......... so pathetic! HAHAHAHA!


As what Maslow Needs Theory states, humans require their basic needs to be fulfilled. Cayden never lacks Security, Food, Housing and Affection since he arrived. Do I need to justify this anymore? Check out the satiated look he gives after each feed.

What a Darling!!

Full Month Celebration!

Cayden celebrated his full month arrival with on 17 Mar 2007 albeit it was a few days earlier. In preparation of this party, Aunty Linda bought a couple of stuffs and realised one of the items wasn't really quite relevant on the actual day of celebration. Nonetheless this party banner will be pretty useful in 11 months time. :-)

Connoiseur received several gifts which includes ang pows, gold pendant, gold Anklet, toys and more toys!!!!!! He could not conceal his happiness when he received an Ang Pow from Aunt Linda and Uncle Sam. WAHAHAHAHAHA!

So what did Cayden wore on that day he made his first "public appearance" to his parents' relatives and friends..? The "Team" of fashion consultants comprised of Big Aunt, Third Aunt (Me) and Little Aunt had a discussion with Cayden's Mum to decide which outfit Cayden should be in. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Cayden in the outfit but here is what we have selected complete with a Bunny Toy Accessory that matches with his grey jumper:

AWESOME.HANDSOME.WHOLESOME.

Cayden’s Habits (Present & Future)

Although arrived 3 weeks ago, I noticed Cayden has at least 2 prominent habits:

1) Airing his armpits… as you can see from most pictures!

2) Curling his second toe on top of his big toe on both feet…

(Pictures taken on 10 Mar 07)

I wonder what other habits will be developed as we all nurture this little one. I have been wondering if Cayden will behave like other kids as he progresses into the toddler stage. I have heard from Baluku the horrible (but funny things) her niece Isabel (aka my Goddess) did:

• Practised her writing and drawing skills on the inside of cabinets, the walls and sofa set.
• Cried when she did not get the thing she wanted. Recently, Isabel has been really helpful and even offered her service to Baluku while she was wiping dinning table top. Btw, Isabel is just as tall as the dining table. The biggest problem was Isabel wasn't convinced cleaning the table top wasn't an easy and clean task for her. Baluku actually got Isabel to smell the sponge used for cleaning and Isabel said "Sponge doesn't smell dirty!". *FAINT*

How should I react if Er & Billy are not around to take over the disciplinary role? I’ll probably adopt the same thing Baluku did to Isabel -

• Lecture Cayden with stern look (ok, i'll try to use eye power) and give him an eraser to remove the scribbles and drawings.
• I doubt Cayden will be interested to help in the household chores. We'll figure out a way to deal with this when the time comes.

That will be at least 3 years later if I have to worry about how to deal with Cayden and his passion for household chores...

Cayden's Twin...

I visit Cayden almost every Saturday.


Typically the routine of each visit comprises photo shooting almost immediately after I step into the apartment. I'll take pictures whether Cayden is sleeping, drinking, exploring around or crying. Everyone is amused and impressed to see how much movements Cayden mastered over each week.


Its amazing to witness how he progresses.



Anyway, the good news is Cayden's cast can finally be removed this Friday! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!


Last Saturday, I performed a miracle and found Cayden's Twin! I don't think anyone will resist submitting engagement proposals to get this pretty lass 25 years later. p(^_^)q

Slip of the Tongue is No Fault of the Mind

Two Saturdays ago, Wasabi said to Gor Gor Sam “I hope to see Ayden today. I have not seen Ayden for a long long time!!! I wonder if Ayden has grown bigger and if he can giggle…”

Gor Gor Sam looked at me and asked “What you talking about? Who is Ayden?”

I realized I had been giving Cayden another name... and this went one for about one week since Cayden arrived.

That was a sign.

His brother should be call Ayden.
