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 about it.. only to be told that he has been doing that for more than a week now. gosh. i feel like im missing out so much.

looks like soon and i’ll be chasing down a walking baby.

i read somewhere that weight plays a part in the development of a baby’s motor skills so i guess its easier for my skinny baby to be rolling/climbing/tottering around.

he has also given me quite a few heart attacks in the middle of the night where he wakes and then jumps around in his cot and occasionally misses his footing and crashes his face into the bars of the cot… and starts wailing. does the mummies out there have tips for me on how to prevent that from happening? I can’t possibly stay up all night to ‘watch’ him and his schedule are all screwed these days. some days, i discover him climbing around the cot and grunting, BUT his eyes are closed. i suspect that it sleep walking/climbing/talking and i read its hereditary. the husband sleepwalk in his sleep when he is a kid and sleeptalks ALOT nowadays. i currently have the paddings at the side of the bed, but they are very thin and does not really help. also, i read that they are supposed to be removed once a kid knows how to stand so i’m really quite confused.

i seriously considering if i should let jerry wear a helmet to sleep.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
