4 months today!

Sweet baby, you turn 4 months today.

Mommy & daddy feel so proud of you. As each day goes by, you are getting cuter and cuter, with your chubby cheeks, twinkling eyes and thunder thighs. And without fail, each day, you warm my heart with your sweet smile, adoring looks and all that babbling in your super cute voice, which sometimes sound like squeaks... and yes, mommy even loves all those tantrums you throw!

Seeing how you’ve grown from the first day you came into this world, mommy feels kind of proud of myself, you know? For looking after you and feeding you so well into this chubby little baby! It may seem like an easy task bringing you up to others, but you must know there was a time when mommy was not at all confident that I was able to look after you at all. Mommy has never looked after a baby before and mommy is hardly the maternal kind at all. Mommy doesn’t even know how to carry a baby properly, and has never changed diapers and bathed a baby. But toughest of all, is having to breastfeed you, waking up every 2 hours in the first month even in the middle of the night. Mommy was like a zombie then, not having enough sleep at all. But mommy has done well and it is all worth it! Even when mommy’s breasts were engorged and so painful, the thought of giving up breastfeeding never ever crossed my mind. It is all because of the love that mommy has for you, which has given me the strength to persevere and give you the very best. And, mommy promises to continue to love and care for you to the best that I can.

Mommy hopes Wayne Wayne will be so proud of me. Mommy wants to be the best mom in the world to you! I want you to grow up and think of your mommy as the coolest & prettiest among all your friends’ mommies! Just as how mommy is so very proud of you. Every small little thing you learn and every new thing that mommy notices about you, can make mommy so happy! And each time I bring you out, mommy’s heart is full of pride. You are our precious little boy, and mommy loves to show you to the world.. and tell everyone that little Wayne Wayne is mommy’s sweet little boy!

Grow up well, my sweet baby, and always know that mommy & daddy will always be by your side, loving & supporting you all the way. Big hugs, baby! We love you so very very much.

Happy 4 months old!

Happy birthday Grandma!!!

Today is my grandma's birthday! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!! My grandma is old - she is 56 years older than me!! Hehe. My grandma will scold me for calling her old! We went to Orchard Cafe for dinner where I saw mommy & daddy eating ALOT of prawns!! We also took alot photos with grandma on that day.

I am so small, you can hardly see me!


Just me with my mommy & daddy - don't we look happy!=)

I can't wait for the next weekend to come again - I am going swimming!!!

Its the weekend again!

I love the weekends cos mommy & daddy doesn't have to work and will always bring me out to many different places!

Today, I went to Harbourfront Centre. We went to the big Mothercare store where daddy bought a nice whiteBaby Bjorn for me. And grandma bought me a new toy!! I felt very happy cos I also got to see Aunty Michelle, Aunty Elaine, Grandma and Grandpa!

We even had coffee at Ya Kun after shopping. And grandpa brought me on many strolls around the shopping centre in my big green stroller!

Mommy & daddy also brought me to Hwaxia to look at the babies swimming - mommy & daddy will be bringing me there next week! I can't wait - I am so excited to finally go swimming!

Here are some photos from my fun-filled day!

Isnt my da-yi pretty? But she can be quite fierce sometimes! Sometimes I overhear her saying she's going to pinch me very hardly - she doesnt know I can understand what she is saying! Hehe.. luckily my mommy is always by myside to protect me!


My grandpa and grandma who dotes on me alot!

Hehe, I got a free ride at Mothercare!


Mommy & daddy & everyone else was having coffee, so I had to play with my toy while waiting for them!

When I was bored, I changed to another toy - this is my favourite and was bought by my Aunty Vivien!

See, this is my new toy that my grandma bought for me!! Its brand new - just bought today!!!

Hey, who stuffed my toy in my pinafore??

Oohhh.. now I know, its my grandma!!! She's the culprit!!! Naughty grandma!

Breakfast at Cafe Cartel

Mommy & daddy had breakfast at Cafe Cartel on this early Monday morning while little Wayne Wayne plays with his toy!

I went to ION Orchard!

Hi everyone!! Like everyone else in Singapore, I had to check out the new shopping centre - Ion Orchard! Finally mommy & daddy brought me there!! Mommy & daddy thought everyone would be staying at home to watch the NDP and so it won't be so crowded on National Day - but they were wrong! It was so crowded! But luckily the mall was big and spacious so there was still alot of space to move me around in my big Quinny Buzz! Its my first time using the original Buzz car seat! Its lime green - aint it cool! Its so much more confortable to sit in as compared to my Maxi Cosi!

Mommy & daddy then went for dinner & gelato at Gustimo, and little me had to wait for them for one hour!

Here I am in my stroller while mommy & daddy had a feast!

I had to entertain myself by sucking my fingers..


And by playing with my little doggie Muffin..


And when I started making noise, mommy shoved my pacifier in my mouth!

But mommy & daddy said I was such a good boy that day! I did not cry at all, and after mommy & daddy ate, it was my turn! We went to the nursing room at Ion which was very clean and nice where I drank my milk and soon after, while mommy & daddy shopped, I slept in my stroller all the way till we went home!

Mommy's first week back at work..

One week has passed since I went back to work..

The first day was terrible for me. I missed Wayne so much.. kept worrying about him, whether he could get used to not having me around, whether he could get used to drinking from the bottle for so many feeds a day etc... When I went home after work that night, I was so happy to see him! Played with him the whole night.. and then suddenly it struck me that I'd only have the nights to be with him. That short 2-3 hours if I am lucky. And then I cried. Cos it dawned upon me that I probably won't be around to see my little Wayne learning for the first time to grab his toy, or say his first word or take his first step.. Every new thing that he learns, I can only hear it from my mil who is helping me take care of him, cos I will probably be in office typing away or be in some meetings..

It didnt help when I learnt that Wayne was not drinking much as well.. Usually he averages 110ml which is already considered very little for his age. But on the first day I was back at work, he only drank 70 and 80ml for 2 feeds in that day. And, he cried and screamed very loudly thrice.. it was so heartbreaking. I'm not entirely sure he is able to realise at this age that mommy & daddy was not around.. but I think so.. cos over the weekend, little Wayne hardly cried at all! In fact, he was so happy and cheery the whole day. Smiling, cooing and playing with us the whole day.

So that was the first day.. the second and remaining days of the week wasnt that bad. I still missed Wayne alot, thinking about him in office. But somewhere along, I kind of accepted it... that I HAVE to work. That there wasnt a choice. And so I started to feel better. Coming home each night to play with him and learn to be contented with just that. And, yes looking forward to the weekend when I can spend the whole day with him!

And, during the week, on Wednesday and Friday, we rushed home after work and brought Wayne out for dinner. Both times to East Coast as it was nearest our home. That was fun. =)
