13th Nov Was Ryann pointing at Gingerbread man?

I had a really tired and long day at work today. Meetings, training and serving customers non-stop. By the time i left office, it was almost 8pm. Fully exhausted but the moment i reach home and see Ryann, all tiredness will automatically be gone.

Nowadays, Ryann would walk around non-stop. He will walk to the TV console, to the sofa then walk to the back of the living room after which the rooms then walk back.His favourite room is Tri's room. He will sort of play hide and seek there. He will stand near the door and attempt to peep outside. If we caught him doing that, he will laugh out loud. Most likely he is playing with us. So cute.

After his last feed, I realize that he is still pretty much alert thus i decided to read him a book. I took the Gigantic Gingerbread man book and a Farm book. I asked him which one do you want Mummy to read? He smiled and walked towards the gingerbread man book. And when i ask him which one is the gingerbread man? I thought i saw him pointing to the book. It was really fast. But i am very sure his index finger was pointing up. Hopefully he is really learning how to point.

I have only 1 more month to teach Ryann to start speaking up. Hopefully he will start talking too.

12th Nov Ryann is 14 months old today!

This video was taken at Plaza Singapura food court as written yesterday.


Ryann is 14 months old today. Time flies. He is a big boy now. This was taken today and the other picture was taken 13 months ago when he turn 1 month. See how much he have grown.

Just shaved his hair when he turn 1 month. He quietly allow the hair stylist to shave his hair then. But now... he will scream and cry his head off when we bring him for a hair cut. He will also sweep away our hands.

Ryann is super hyper active. He is like a Energizer Baby. Never stop. this video recorded down how he give me something when asked to do so. After which he stand on his own unsupported and lastly walk really fast. Video taken using my lousy phone. I guess it is time for me to bring my camera every day so that i can catch Ryann's little actions readily.

Ryann still cannot do quite a number of things which his peers could do. But i have learned to rejoice at the things that he could do rather then hanging on to things that he have yet learn to do. As long as he is still progressing within the normal range.

Some of the things that he can do:

1. respond to Lu Lu the spider song.
2. Press the button to activate the Tomato Giggling Elmo.
3. Lift up his leg when wearing his pants.
4. Go to his Ride on and press the music button when asked.
5. Give us things when we ask for it.
6. Sit down and finish reading the ginger bread man
7. Show Sasha wash hands action
8. Knows where is the ceiling. (after GUG class)
9. Knows how to put Thomas the train back to its usual location.
10. Off the TV.

And many more.... I hope there would be more to come that involves with talking and expressing himself.

11th Nov Shake head = Not Good?

Brought Ryann to Plaza Singapura today for a walk. Singapore is such a boring place. No where interesting to bring Ryann. We walked round and round but found nothing interesting. Went to food court to eat. Ryann flashes his 'killer smile' to one of the cleaner auntie. She keep coming back to our table to play with Ryann.

Whenever i asked Ryann:"Good Good how?" He will always shake his head. I dunno why. Caught it on video. Will upload tomorrow after converting the file.

10th Nov Ryann's version of flying kiss

Ryann's version of flying kiss is unique and special. Because instead of having his hand on his lips before flying out,he will put his hands over my mouth instead. We have tried a couple of times and he just refuse to put his hands on his own lips. So cute.

Ryann was able to stand up on his own without support today. Finally was able to see it with my own eyes but didnt get a chance to video it down. Will try again tomorrow.

Some pictures we took yesterday at FIL's birthday dinner.

9th Nov Grandpa birthday

Today is my FIL's birthday celebration. We went to River view hotel for a Chinese buffet dinner.

Food was acceptable but not very fantastic.

Ryann was very cranky during the dinner because he doesn't want to sit down. He wanted to come down and walk. Once out of the high chair, he started walking every where around the table and restaurant. Phew, very tired chasing after him but it was fun seeing him walking around.

Ryann was clapping happily during the birthday song. I could see the happiness in my FIL's eyes. I hope they can meet more often. I know he love Ryann alot but just that he doesn't express his feelings out openly. This year was a different year for him. This year Ryann is able to clap for him. The only thing i dun like about meeting up with them is always on different parenting style. Always have the intention to feed him adult food. Why so urgent? The only benefit i can see is the convenience we adults experience when we bring them out. Other then that, why so urgent?

Ryann was too tired by the end of the day. He fell asleep on our way home.

My one and only off day is over! Tomorrow is Monday again. =(

8th Nov Ryann is able to stand up on his own without support

Ryann was able to stand up on his own without support this afternoon but sad to say, i didn't get to see it. He is improving and hopefully will get better as days goes by.

Ryann seems to be better already. Not so much of watery stools these few days. Finally those puking and watery stools days are coming to an end! Yippee...

Hopefully by next week i can take the Prevnar jab for Ryann. $170. Super expensive lor! Haiz.

6th Nov Mummy's lunar birthday gift from Ryann

Today is my lunar birthday and Ryann gave me a birthday pressie. That is to dance for me to see. So funny. he will even shake his shoulders during the dance. I must really find a chance to get it on video. That definitely ease off all my tiredness.

This birthday, i have come to realize many life values.
From the day a woman gave birth to her child, she no longer celebrates her own birthday as nothing matters more then the day her child was born. I totally agree as look at the effort i put in for Ryann's birthday party, you will know i definitely love Ryann more then i love myself.

Being a mother is never easy. We got to worry about almost everything about our babies. Their development in terms of motor skills or communication skills and many other factors. Woman are just naturally thinkers. We think a lot but sometimes a bit too much. Woman will do research to find out more about everything from baby care, babies health, babies development milestone, how to handle your child terrible 2s and many more. All mothers would want the best for their children. And naturally we build this strong image and character within us so that we can protect our child with all means and nothing matters more then our little sweet heart.I believe many mummies would agree with that. This source of energy comes from unlimited love.

Love is amazing. You cant see it but you can see how it changes a woman - a mother.

5th Nov Happy birthday Mummy~Me!

The last thing a person would want to do on her own birthday is to do things that might spoil her mood for the rest of the day. I did just that. I booked for my final theory test today. I was already on my driving lessons almost 1 and a half year ago but due to pregnancy, i couldn't continue and thus had to retake again as my final theory is only valid for 2 years. Thank God for His blessings. I managed to pass the final theory again.


Hubby wanted to bring me to orchard road today. What a change. I thought he was always against me buying my luxury bags. But i decided to wait instead. Time is bad now. I can do without the bag. We went to parkway parade to walk around instead. Hubby couldn't find any gift for me as i didn't want anything. Initially wanted to buy jewellery for me but i didn't want. Nowadays to prevent scratching Ryann, i hardly wear any rings other then our wedding bands.


But we brought 2 shorts for Ryann and a thermal jar which was on sale. Nothing for Mummy but it was ok.


As years goes by, birthday doesn't hold much meanings to me anymore. Just a date, nothing great about it. I am not abit excited about it coming nor am i sad that the day just ended like a blink of an eye. But i am certainly glad that many of my friends remembered me on this day.


I still remember last year this time, Ryann was so tiny and we celebrated our open house with our family members at my current place and they surprised me with a cake. This year no cake no celebrations but i am more then contented with Hubby and Ryann by my side.


Went to Xiao Hong Lou (Red house) for dinner. Hubby felt like having crab for dinner thus we went to our favourite restaurant that serve delicious crab. He ordered so much food, we were so full lor.
Because of my manicured nails, Hubby had to help me with the prawn and crab. Haha. I am being served like a queen. =p









Food was really nice.
Tomorrow i am going to have my D24 durian cake. Sis brought me a cake from my favourite EMicakes. Yummy!

4th Nov Bonding day with Ryann

Took leave for today and tomorrow to take good care of Ryann and also to 'enjoy' being 1 year older. =p

Brought Ryann to Vivo again today as hubby wanted to buy his Crocs shoe and had dinner at Dian Xiao Er. Their food is nice and hubby like it a lot. Unfortunately, the disaster only started after dinner. Ryann vomited all his porridge. Partly also because i couldn't get him to stop putting his fingers in his mouth and also his gastric flu. Luckily we brought extra clothes to change him. My heart hurts to see him sick. I know he is very hungry but yet i didn't dare to feed him more in fear that he might just puke again. Fed him half a bowl more and decided to feed him milk instead. He wobbled every thing up and fell asleep after a while.

Went to Toys R us and brought a Thomas the train toy and V-smile cartridge for Ryann. Hubby was asking me is there any thing i want and I thought for a while. I guess all i wanted is Ryann to get well soon.

Some pictures of Ryann during this trip.

3rd Nov What a week we had.

What a week we had.....

First of all, Rhys got admitted to hospital for stomach flu. Auntie Jannie went to visit him with Rebecca, Hazel and Kimberly. After being discharge from hospital, sis and mum started feeling unwell and at the same time, Auntie Jannie, hazel and Kimberly got the stomach flu virus too. All 3 of them were vomiting and having diarrhoea at the same time too. Mum had diarrhoea for a few days.
On Thursday, Ryann start to vomit already. He vomited for 5 times on that day. And I couldn't find a PD around my area. Kidslink and Kids clinic didn't have night clinic on Thursday. I went to a GP instead and was luckily seen by Dr Wong Tien Hua (The handsome and young doctor downstairs =p). Surprisingly, Ryann did not struggle at all when Dr Wong check his temperature and he allowed him to check his stomach. This was totally unexpected because he is usually not co-operative with the doctors. Was given medicine for the stomach wind and vomiting. And was given the medicine to help clear the virus out of his body. Till now he is still not well yet.

Soon, Dad vomited too and started to have lots of wind in his tummy. Being a stroke patient, we have to be even careful with what he eat and hopefully he doesn't get serious diarrhoea problem as we are afraid he might get dehydrated. He is not allowed to drink too much water in fear that water might goes into his lungs.

I started having lots of wind in my tummy on Saturday night and felt really tired. On Sunday, I woke up with body aches and a bad tummy ache. Was running a temperature then and i was practically sleeping all the way through the day. Only woke up for milk pumping and i didn't even ate anything at all. Tri vomited that night too. Lucky after taking the medicine, both of us felt alot better.

Phew, this virus is moving strong and i guess our bodies are just fighting it. I just pray that this stomach flu saga is going to be over soon and God will grant our family with good health.
