Little Ayden @ TCC

Met up with my sisters (Ayden's Godmas) on the last day of Yr 2008 @ Novena TCC for lunch... & of cos little Ayden came along too! While the gang was busy eating & chatting along, he was quietly entertaining himself in his pram at first... till he started getting a bit bored & restless...that's when the crankiness starts to set in.. & what's gonna happen next?? It's Daddy & Mummy, plus Godmas taking turns to carry him, entertain him, walk him around, and keep him happy!! Haha... we just don't want his ear piercing screams to disturb the peaceful ambience at the cafe. After we're all done with the carrying, comes the next step..Daddy & Mummy taking turns to stroll him around Novena Square & trying to make him fall asleep (While the other continue eating). But this little fella here is quite cute... he tends to drift into sleep pretty fast when he's strolled around in his pram..or when he's travelling in Daddy's car, I guess he just likes to be in a moving vehicle (just like Daddy when he was young... OMG!). In the end, this little chubbs did fall asleep in his little pram...and he slept pretty soundly too... cute. It was an enjoyable get together before the end of the year... another great outing with the sisters! Special thanks to Godma Nee too... for always remembering to bring along her precious cam and snapping a few good shots along the gathering. These cute moments were captured by her and I really really love these shots a lot! Thanks sister! :)

Ayden is 4 months old!

My little chubbs just turned 4 months old... weighing 7.73kg, measuring 64.5cm long! His arms and legs are looking quite chunky already...with muscles bulging from within.. credits to his active routine of flinging his arms & kicking his legs everyday. I'm also starting to be able to fit into my former clothes before my pregnancy, thanks to carrying this human weight of nearly 8kg everyday...It's tough not to lose weight! At this stage, Ayden no longer likes to lie properly on the bed or rocker chair... this curious little boy likes to be carried around all the time...looking at things around him. So you will see our family members taking turns walking him around the whole house & going downstairs for walks. This boy here is a charmer with his smiley character and his cheeky expressions.. He's one friendly baby who likes to interact and smile at anyone he meets! Now, he has new hobbies to go with his normal routine of drink & sleep... he likes to do the "Boo Boo" Saliva stunt, plus the "Cover blanket over head & panic" game! Haahaa... It can be quite funny seeing him indulge himself in his little games and laughing himself away... I guess every baby has their own form of self-entertainment. Ayden's now trying to flip over on his own... not quite there yet..but he can already turn his body fully to the side...I guess the only hindrance (From what I see) is his chunky hand...that refuses to give way under his body. Give him a couple of weeks, I think his new entertainment will be doing the self flip all day long.. That's when mummy will start getting a headache & will have to watch him closely all the time he's on the bed! It's been 4 months since I have been taking care of Ayden at home.. & my maternity leave is depleted... haaa.... now starting my No Pay Leave...so I'm officially on ZERO income now! But then again... I feel so much richer when I get to witness so many of Ayden's "Firsts".. Just wanna see him grow up a lil more... before I hit back to work full force again. Now I'm looking forward to seeing Ayden start his first feed of solid food...seeing him grow his 1st lil tooth... Seeing him utter his 1st word... Seeing him take his 1st step... There are just too many things about his growing up to look forward to... & of cos... the biggest wish of all... that he'll grow healthy & happy...& most importantly...be a good, obedient boy!
