Joyful Baby

Randall, you are so full of joy!
You bring laughter to those around you.
Mummy is so full of joy everytime I look at you.
Simple things make you happy! Just some silly noise from your Daddy makes you laugh!

With love,

Baby Fell Sick - Bellyflu

Randall came down with bellyflu on 16 Dec 08 after catching it from one of the infants from his infantclass. It started with slight vomitting before bedtime. Mummy thought it was due to a new food given to him at too late (Silly mummy decided to let him try for the first time Bellamy organics oats porridge at 9pm on a weekday!).
Then when he woke up crying during the wee hours, we thought he was hungry and Daddy started feeding him. Who knows, he merlioned all his feed out and soiled a huge section of our bed.
Daddy and mummy had to change bedsheet at 5am with eyes still closed.
Then the stomach spasms began, and everytime it happens, Randall would cry. He also didn't have much appetite. In fact, he lost weight. He was 8+kg before this. He weighed only 7+kg by the time we brought him to see a doctor.

See his expression:

My First Taste of Semi-solid

On 27 Oct, mummy decided to let me try my first taste of semi-solid though there are more than 2 weeks before I will be six months old. Mummy read that by six months, baby's natural store of iron will have been used up and milk alone cannot provide sufficient iron. She wants an early start so I can take my time to become accustomed to all these different textures and tastes!

My first taste - Applesauce from Gerber. Hee hee, I wasn't very used to it so I didn't want any more after just three tiny taste.

End up, the whole bottle was thrown away after sitting more than 4 days in the fridge.

I turned away after having tasted just a teeny bit of it! Its not milk!

Randall, you are five months old!

Randall, this is one of the nursery rhymes that mummy sings to you. Learnt it from teacher Anna in your infant class.

You turn exactly five months on 18/10/08! You are a big boy now...
The teachers in your infant class likes to call you Kopi Boy as mummy loves to tuck a huge white hankie at your waist.


You are really such a lovely boy. Loves your smile and your loud chuckles.
You are beginning to recognise people.
Though you still can't do a full flip yet, mummy is happy to see you do a half flip!

Good morning Randall!

Growing Randall

Randall, see how much you have grown! 1st picture was taken when you are 3 days old. The 2nd pic was taken when you are almost 2 months old.

Mummy is happy that you are growing well. I pray that God continues to watch over you and send his angels to surround and protect you.

Sexy Lips

Randall, look at you! Your lips is always so sexy after your feed. Love your innocence and your genuine happiness.

Little Randall, grow up healthy and strong. Be a boy after God's heart and a man with integrity.

Daddy and mummy loves you!

Baby Massage Class @ KKH

Brought baby Randall to the baby massage class at KKH today (the 1st session out of 3). The techniques taught are supposed to help parents handle their fretful child, ease colic discomfort and allow parents to experience the joy of bonding with their child through touch. The workshop is tailored for babies between one to 12 months old.

Think Randall is the youngest baby there. So after just 15 mins of touch, he started to cry. He was making so much noise that the other participants couldn't really hear what the trainer was saying and I was getting more and more embarrassed as I can't seem to quiet him down.

Luckily Daddy was around. I just love the way Randall responds to his Daddy.
