Nigel is Finally Sick and a very tired mummy..

Most of us were down with flu. Nigel was a little sick since last thrusday but wasn't anything to worry. Just running nose and phlegm. Given his track record, we all took it for granted that Nigel will recover without any big issue. But just in case, we bought him in to Dr Teoh to get some medicine for him. The clever lil boy as usual recognise the place the moment I stand into the lift. He was ok but pulled a long face. All hell broke loose when he see the Dr. I had to turn him to face the window. The Dr. was trying to slowly creep up behind him to listen to his lungs but Nigel knew something was wrong and turn behind and cried when he see the Dr. Dr Teoh couldn't help luffing. He commented that Nigel is a very smart boy. Back to topic. Nigel was down with slight fever yesterday, 37 Degree Celsius. In the evening, Nicole sms me and told me Nigel down with high fever, 38 Degree Celsius. Luckily Dr Teoh always made me keep stocks of medicine. I had a really rough night yesterday with Nigel. Poor boy was in pain. He kept crying. In the end, I held him and cried too.. Heart pain. Sobs. The fever went up and down today. But he's playing and smiling but tired. I had to leave him at my mum's overnight as tomolo I have shop meeting at 9am.. working till 1130pm most likely with the Darn IPhone4. Thrusday, start work at 1030 till late again cos of shop outing.. Going to Diez soonz... I wan to quit !! I mean my job...

But one good thing happen today, Nigel maybe cos of his fever.. started to say out the different colours when playing with my IPhone4.

Shawn's 29th Birthday !!

It's been a Uber Long time since I have updated my Blog. Nigel's been more than a handful these days so I have no TIME !! Finally I manage to end off work early today despite the IPhone4 craze. Thanks to National Day!! Everyone is at home !!!

First thing on the list is Shawn's 29th Birthday on the 4.7 !! We had a nice family lunch at Seafood resturant at East Coast with my family. Tong and Nigel love the place ! We were luckily enough to get a table right next to a big glass wall facing the Pond. So the Kids have a fun time looking at fishes and entertaining themselves. Followed by a quiet dinner at home with Shawn's parents. Manage to get a few shoots of Family pictures with Nigel finally !!

Tong Tong and Nigel have a Love-Hate relationship. They love each other lotsa, always kissing and talking to each other. But when it comes to Toys... Well... It's everyone for themselves. But Tong always seems to win cos the moment she screams, Nigel will be really scared !!

Age of Bumps and Bruises

Lil Nigel is really active now. Crawling, climbing, touching.. He can't keep still for a single second. I wan to die of tiredness chasing after him. So tired that I have not updates my blog for a really long long time.... But Worst still is the heartache looking at his injuries.. Sighs.. it seems that almost everyday he will fall, bump his head or knock into something. Poor Boy !!

Nigel and His iPhone

I have gotten an iPhone few months back in March. Not for myself to use but for Lil Nigel actually. There is lots of Apps available for Him to use. I downloaded 3 pages of Apps just for him ! Lots of free ones and Paid ones. My fave and his have is Kids Machine and Baby Piano. After 2 months of using it, Lil Nigel has figured out how to use it all by himself ! He knows how to unlock the phone, go the correct page and choose the App he wants to play !! After he's tired of it, he will just exit and choose a new one !! And of cos throwing the phone away after playing ! Luckily I have gotten an anti-shock protector for his iPhone...

Turning Point .....

It seems like after Nigel has turn 1, something in his Lil Brain woke up. He seems somewhat different to me ..
1. He's more active and vocal suddenly. He's very vocal and active before. But now, he talks more. He's active in a different way .. Really hard to explain but he seems to developed an understanding of how certain things function. For example, he will actually put things back after he has played with them. He learn butter-trade. The other day, he hand me one of his fave toy. After I took it, he point to my IPhone !! Another time, last friday, he was holding on to my keys and refuse to return them to me. I gave him my IPhone for my keys !
2. He learn to put himself to sleep !! No One taught him how to !! He just refuse to let me rock him and want to lay on the bed. He toss and turn around a few times and he slept ! Happen a couple of times already.
3. He will actually hold the bottle and feed himself. He already know how to do it but was too lazy to.. Hahaha .. But these few days, he's been doing it all on his own and acutally drank more !
4. He's on training cup now and he love it ! He will hold it, push open the cover and drink ! And after that, he will put it back and the table. And he will clap his hands cos he knows he has done something well !! So Cute ! But I think he love to bite the straw actually ...

And the list goes on.. It's really odd that so many things happen in just a week from his Birthday. He has learnt to crawl too and loving it now. He's everywhere now ! Can't imagine when he walks. He will be a terror definitely. He's learning to walk now. But it seems more like Cat-Walk! He's getting better everyday, thanks to my Dad and Mum. They have patiently taught him the act of crawling ! SighS.. Nigel is growing up so fast.. Too fast. Most of the time I'm at work to be there to watch him grow up. But at least he's in capable, loving hands. Hopfully in near future, if everything turn out ok, I will be SAHM ! Definitely lots of plans for Nigel, music lessons (will be teaching piano on my own), brain development classes (hopfully can sign him up for GUG but time is hard to arrange now) and of cos flash cards... Sounds like a lot of stress for Nigel but trust me, Nigel love it ! He love to learn (more like play).

My Dear Buddies.. But Ting is not here.. SobS

Lil Nigel's First Birthday Bash is held on his actual birthday 08.05.2010. My Dearest Uncle has kindly offered his home to hold Nigel's party. It rained twice that day but thank heavens everything turn out just fine !! Nigel got loads of Pressie and Hongbao. Thanks all Uncles and Aunties !!

Some of the Pressies !

Drum Set

Nigel is 1 (Part 1)

Nigel is Big 1 !! Still cannot believe my Lil Baby is now a Toddler. He finally can crawl, all thanks to my Dad who patiently taught him. But he still prefers to walk but obviously he can't. Crawling is his last resort. I have recently discovered that Lil Nigel loves music. He can hum Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star !! And my Dear Buddy Ting have gotten him a lovely wooden piano as an early birthday present which he totally enjoys playing. I will get more of the lovely Pressies he has received in a later Blog ( still in process of taking photos and uploading...). He can say :Papa, Mama, Carry (in chinese), Take (also in chinese) and loads of gibberish.

On the Big Day, after lunchie, we had a little ritual First Birthday Ritual. We had him choose from a variety of items. The first he pick was suppose to be what he will be. We had red eggs- Cook, Piano-Music, Calculator- banking/accounts, abacus- money and ruler-engineer ( i think). First we arrange the stuff in neat line which was a bad idea cos Nigel will just crawl to the stuff nearest to him. So on the third attempt, we just jumble the stuff together and same as the first time, he choose Ruler !! WHY ??? Hmmzz ....

Will update more stuff later on.... (hope I have to time)..MeanWhile Some pictures ..

Since Young, Nigel like to sit Like a TowKay

Lil Nigel is Sick ...

Poor Nigel is Down Down Down with Fever. I suspect he was sick on Sat already. He was crying for my mum in the middle of the Night so I had to carry him over. He fell asleep really fast the moment my mum carried him. Next morning, Shawn and I pop over my Mum's to see him before We leave for work but the Lil Guy was still sleeping which was odd but we thought he was just tired. Later on I receive a call that he had fever. I was really worried but No PD was open unless I want to bring him to KKH. But I dun really trust the Doctors there plus with all the sick patients there. So decided to wait till Monday to bring him down. Luckily my manager changed my Off for me to Monday. Shawn and I brought him to Dr Teoh at 10am yesterday. His fever was gone. Everything was ok. The moment we got home, my Dad realise tat his Fever has came back. It kept creeping higher and higher. At 1130pm, it was at 39.2 ! Poor Boy.. Shawn and I couldn't really sleep the whole night. Luckily Morning at 9am, his fever drop to 37.6 but can feel he's starting to heat up again. Dr Teoh told us to bring him in immediately if his fever went up again or if he start to vomit.. Now at 3pm, he seems fine. **cross my fingers**
