• And he turns ONE!

    This is late, but the last weekend was madness with 2 party celebrations for Jerry and another for my cousin’s 21st. I am still trying to recover from it with the lack is sleep, which is spent on prepping the party. I slept at 5am on the eve of the party!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! Mummy and daddy is very very proud of you and it’s has been a great year thus far. I am still trying to gather all the pictures taken that day before I do a detailed post on it. So a quick call out to those that attended and taken pictures, can send me the pictures? Thank…

  • Not quite the baby anymore.. @ 11 months +

    Was out shopping as usual on the weekends, but today.. It just hit me that my baby isn’t that baby anymore. Usually, the kid is quiet and amazed by his surroundings. Today, he kept screaming and screaming. At first, I thought it was due to the fact that we were at the art science museum viewing the titanic artifact and it was dark. I promptly exited the exhibition with a screaming baby and waited outside for the husband to be done. But the screaming didn’t stop. It wasn’t the diaper, it wasn’t hunger. He kept shaking his head when I gave him the biscuit, water, milk and his baby food.…

  • Happy 10 months!

    Jerry turns 10 months today! Ever since 2012 swung by, my journal has been declared dead. I barely had the time to do any updates and I consistently missed 2 months of updates of jerry. I feel so bad about it but I barely clocked in enough sleep to survive, and it’s been radio silence on social media front for a long time. I sure got a hyper baby in my hands! From 8 months on, the baby has been clambering everywhere and steps on everything he got get his feet on, my face included. I sometimes think I just might die under his tiny feet some day. I did…

  • My baby jerry Choo at 7 months.

    Happy 7 months old, baby! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind the past month, with him going through a lot of firsts. First time at the zoo, first time being sick, first time on the nebulizer machine, first stand, first few steps with support, first time sitting up by himself, first time taking the milk bottle and feeding himself, first climb, first self stand without support.. Gosh. Has it only been a month? It felt like eons! First time exploring his brand new playpen.. First zoo trip, checking out the wallabies. First sitting up by himself.. First climb.. First stand.. First major sickness.. (and first x-ray for the matter)…

  • my agile baby.

    about a month ago, i blogged about my baby doing the doggy style.. a month later, he has since learnt to stand and walk with support.. and he’s tottering around the playpen, becoming quite a monkey that climbs around too! i took the following video with the remote as a bait. i made him ‘N G’ a few times but each time.. he just manages to grab the remote! Jerry’s quest for the remote. from Cherie Lim on Vimeo. a few days ago, i discovered that he can stand without support for a few seconds before falling down onto his butt into a sitting position and excitedly told my mum…

  • The past week..

    I think I am beginning to adore my son. For those of you who kept telling me things will get better and that I one day would find everything worthwhile, I think I am almost here. Thank you for all that encouragement then. I think I am beginning to feel like everything is worth it.. or maybe it is postpartum amnesia and I don’t quite recall how bad things used to be. Ahh.. Maybe this is part of god’s grand plans.. Postpartum memory loss is for women to cope better and forget all those frustrations, struggles, hardship so that they’ll go on and have more kids. I’m pretty sure it…

  • Under the weather.

    Radio silence for the past few days because we are both under the weather. Between the 2 of us, someone got a bug and passed it on. Jerry had fever on Wednesday, and it went away after a patch and some medication but had runny nose and started coughing last night. A first in his books for being sick and down with a virus. Me, I am suffering from a really bad throat and been sneezing non stop, feeling very miserable and popped over to the doctor’s yesterday morning. Now, we are at the pediatrician, and have been waiting since 11am. Almost 3 hrs later, there are still 12 people…

  • Happy 6 months!

    Today marks 6 months of journey from the day I had a baby plonked onto my tummy and a pair of eyes staring at me. There has been ups and downs, loads of depression, some excitement, loads of happiness and amusement and a whole lot of other emotions, I am rather glad that we have survived it this far and things are getting better by the day (hopefully I don’t jinx it by saying this). The past month has been rather interesting, with loads of milestones from the baby! It has also been a fantastic month because the husband helped out sooooooo much, I am very thankful and happy and…

  • Jerry’s 2nd haircut.

    Been wanting to give Jerry’s hair a trim. It has been growing fast and furious and became quite unruly, especially with natural curls in his hair. The past 2 weeks saw us with 2 unsuccessful attempts in cutting his hair. Once, the place was closed and the other, it was PH and they closed especially early. We were there when it was still open but the lady told us she is not going to cut anymore and is going to close shop. =( We were stuck in forum yesterday from the heavy rain while I was shopping for a present there after work, so despite a long queue at the…
