Absence Makes the Heart Grows Fonder

I don't agree... It is pretty obvious that Aunty Yangming was hoping for an extended period of absence away from Singapore.

A'HOY MATES....!

The Pirates of the Caribbean craze isn't over yet at least at home. I think apart from Johnny Depp, Cayden just got to be the next best looking pirate!

Naturally Cayden attracted so much attention of which some maybe unwanted...

Unfortunately on Sunday, he had some tummy upset possibly due to over dosage of carrots. As his babysitter for the day, I had to bear with the stench from "his output". *POOR ME* Anyway, Connoisseur is on the road to recovery. He was a little cranky on Sunday towards the night but we managed to make him take short naps in between his pirate performances.

It has been enjoyable to see Cayden napping. As our Connoisseur grows, he begins to demonstrate habits of adults which I believe are innate. Who would expect a baby to sleep on his sides unassisted? Are you able to identify his silhouette in the playpen...?

6 Months Old!

Cayden turns 6 months old today!!!


In another 6 months, we'll be celebrating Connoisseur's first birthday. :)

In the last doctor's visit, he had his weight and height taken. He was 7.4 kg and 64 cm tall. It was a little unbelievable that he weighs less than a package of 10 kg rice... Anyway, he was told he would be visiting doctor and will receive jabs. Miraculously, he didn't cry at all and smiled to Grandma when she helped him get dressed after the jab! Grandma called him Gentleman as he behaved really well.

He is growing really fast and will be teething soon. Fortunately Aunty YangMing is back in town to care for Cayden and share the joy in growing with Cayden. In the recent weeks, he started putting his right index finger and thumb into his mouth. It seems that Cayden is munching something tasty... Yummy...!

Taking Solid Food

Some weeks ago, solid food was introduced to Cayden. He loves it and he makes it known...!

mochi mochi Gege:

Wasabi:

The Bumbo Chair

Connoisseur had his head shaven two days back on Monday (17 Aug 07) and he looks suave as ever. I was back at home on Monday and spent 2 hours with parents and Cayden. I had fun!

Cayden's expressions are endless these days. The realisation that he could control his muscles made the entire growing up experience fun for Cayden and our family. Cayden delivered a new surprise on Monday. He pouted his lips and boo-ed in an attempt to splatter his saliva to whoever he is facing! Wahahaha! He looks exactly like Crayon Shinchan whenever he pout his lips.

Cayden's parents decided to buy him more toys now that he is picking up more motor skills. Connoisseur is growing stronger by the day and will not be contented lying on the bed soon. An investment was made last evening to keep Connoisseur a happy baby. An additional furniture was added to Clementi last evening and it is a Bumbo Chair (http://www.bumbobabysitter.com/ or http://www.bumboseat.com/).

The investment was made on the Bumbo seat for several beneficial reasons:

"The Bumbo Seat is a new concept in infant chairs. It is a snug and cozy environment for babies. This revolutionary infant chair is designed to fit a baby’s posture. Babies can sit upright in a Bumbo Seat as soon as they have head control. More importantly, it helps them develop the trunk control they need to sit up on their own. It is recommended by pediatricians, orthopedists, and physical therapists as well.".

This is a good investment. Cayden was happily boo-ing away in his personal chair.

An Earful from Mum

Haha! I can't help but be gloating over how Cayden received an earful from his Mum just when I was drafting the earlier post. He realised Mum has an authority over him and no one will give in to him no matter how much funny sound he makes.

In the recent weeks, Cayden realises his potential to create different types of sounds using his vocals and has been behaving like a "crow" (which can actually be quite funny and cute)! Just 15 mins ago, he got an earful from his mum. He didn't dare to retaliate and just look at mum quietly in repentenace. 15 mins later, he is fast asleep lying on his side in his playpen. *PEACE*

He gets too excited and kicks his feet non-stop into the air. As a result, he finds difficulty getting proper sleep into the night. There were several times he woke up crying just hours into the sleep.

Dear Cayden Boy, You are sweet enough for anyone to resist so don't crow anymore. :-)

More Updates to Come.. Stay Tuned!

Oh Gosh! Cayden is approaching his 6th month. YAY!!!

It is nearly one month since I blogged. Thanks to the nasty flu bug that kept me drowsy for the past one month! Fortunately Cayden didn't catch the bug from me. :)

Cayden has been doing very fine in the past one month. Grandma labelled him "Gentleman". He tried many things for the first time and that include:

• Swimming (or rather taking a dip in the pool),
• Eating apples,
• Eating rice cereals,
• Constipated (arghhhhhh),
• Not crying after receiving his third set of vaccination jabs and
• Rolling over unassisted!!!

I am starting to feel the pressure of not editing his photos quick enough. Have to start learning how to post the videos online so that I can share the funny moments on the blog here.

Another update to share - Mei Nu Aunty Yangming is finally back from her USA internship yesterday. Cayden finally met someone dear (again) who also took care of him in the initiate two months.

More updates to come... stay tuned!
