I'm a Daddy's boy!

Ayden is 7 weeks old!

I'm a Daddy's boy!

Coming to 2 months old in 1 more week, Ayden is starting to be able to respond when we interact & play with him! The best times to play with him will be after his morning bath (which he simply enjoys), after he drank his fill & after he had enough of his nap! You will see everyone in the house fighting to get their slots of playtime with Ayden, & each of us trying our best to make all sorts of funny faces and weird sounds just to win a smile from Ayden! He's such a cute darling when he smiles at you...& it's really so wonderful to just hear him talk to you in his baby language ( oo....ee...ahhh..ahh..). It's getting more & more fun looking after him as he seems to know what's going on around him, plus he's getting smarter & knows how to react ( be it whine, cry, scream) to get what he wants..
Ayden's a Daddy's boy... He loves lying on his Daddy's lap while Daddy play with him. Hubby is one crazy fellow when it comes to playing with little fellow..he'll try all sorts of funny ideas and Ayden will just smile & smile & talk to Daddy while he plays with him. Daddy sure has his ways of making little Ayden happy! Mummy's always complaining that Ayden doesn't respond as much as he does with Daddy, although Mummy feeds him, change him & takes care of him!! But little Ayden's simply a Daddy's boy... Hopefully he'll grow up as cheerful as his Daddy & be a little sunshine that brightens up everyone's days... ;P

Ayden goes swimming!

We brought Ayden to this shop @ Plaza Singapura that put babies swimming in tubs, with floats on thier neck.. & these babies are left to flap and kick in the tub freely! It is Ayden's 1st time going to swim. He looked so blur when we changed him & the auntie attach the float onto his neck before putting him down into the tub. When he was lowered into the tub of water, he seemed a little lost at first...remaining still and floating quietly in the water. After a little warming up & talking to him, he started swimming!!! Hahaa... He looked so cute when he flapped his hands and kicked his legs with all his might in the water! He even turned a few rounds and swam along the whole tub! Seems like Ayden enjoyed his 1st swimming experience a lot! We'll be bringing him for more sessions in future! It's great exercise and work out for this little chap.

Ayden is 6 weeks old!

Ayden is already 6 weeks old! Time flies... a few weeks ago, he was still swaddled up, crying in the delivery ward.. now he's grown so much bigger... & brighter! He's the little darling of the family... getting all the love from his Daddy, Mummy, Uncles & Aunties, Ah Gong & Ah Ma, Gong Gong & Po Po! After these few weks of living with the little darling, everyone at home is used to a lifestyle with a lil one in the house.. You'll see everyone lowering their volume while talking, remembering not to on the TV too loud, making sure doors don't slam suddenly..etc etc... At the same time, we're also used to hearing his whines & crying in the house when his tantrum comes (regardless of time 24/7) ;p It's hard work looking after a lil one, but of course, the joy that we get from this addition to the family is much much more! Just a simple smile from this little chap will brighten up everyone's day!

Statistics

I am 5 weeks old now! :)

At 5 weeks old, Ayden now weighs 5.24kg & measures 57.5cm long! My my... either Mummy's milk is very nutritious or Ayden's stretching exercises have proven very effective! Haha... asked our gynae about this stats & whether Ayden is erm...Overweight?!?! But reassurance from gynae saying he's just "at the top of the scale".. haha... sounds better indeed...at least I know Ayden is growing well...& fast! He's quite strong for his age I must say... his arms & legs are strong...cos his power kicks and fists during his feeds have proven so.. it's a challenge trying to burp him in the middle of his milk feast I tell you! His neck muscles are pretty strong too.. at 1 month old, he can actually hold his head upright quite steadily when I burp him on my shoulder. It's comforting to see him grow stronger & bigger each day.. Just hope his colic gets better.. It's heart wrenching to see him cry in discomfort whenever his colic attacks him... Colic drops seem to help a lil so far..but hopefully his colic attacks reduces gradually & he'll grow out of it fast. Going into Week 6..Ayden is slowly learning to respond to people..& he simply likes to listen to people talk while he look into ur face..sometimes adding a smile or two on his face! He's more curious about what's happening around him & is often observing his surrounding. Slowly he'll be able to interact more with us with more of his baby languages " Ooo Ahh Eeh...".. ! This growth process is gonna go by very fast..so Daddy & Mummy's trying to enjoy every moment with him...& of course savouring every minute we spent with him!

Ayden is 1 Month Old!

Busy Busy Busy!!! Been kept real busy by my little prince Ayden! Reason for the delay in updating our blog! Finally....Ayden is 1 month old! Confinement is over!!!!! Woo Hoo! Good thing is... no more ginger dishes (yucky!).. No more herbal baths.. No more naggy confinement lady! Downside is... No more confinement help..now I've to take care of everything for my little ayden! From feeding him to changing his diapers.. to bathing & burping him...etc.. Now I know, waking up a few times in the middle of the night to feed, change diaper, carry & comfort little Ayden is no joke.. cos it continues into the day..and the cycle repeats everyday! Meaning there's no real rest for the coming couple of months at least! Luckily Hubby has been taking night shifts in helping to take care of Ayden at night.. especially when Ayden doesn't sleep well and needs lots of comforting and patting at night... now we're the panda couple..with the lack of sleep every night. But though it's tough...ultimately I wanna say "It's worth it!" .. for our little Ayden! Seeing him grow bigger each day just gives me the satisfaction of being a mummy...I'm sure for Daddy too! All we want for our boy is to see him grow healthy & happy day by day! Now Ayden's a month old...slowly he'll be 3 months...6 mths...1 yr old...! Both Daddy & Mummy is looking forward to seeing him grow & slowly be able to respond & play with us! We have so many places & activities that we want to invlove him in when he grows a lil older!
