jerome is 5 months old!
this post is 3 days late! my chubby baby turned 5 months old last Sunday. honestly, I haven’t been exactly tracking his progress much ever since I have gotten back to work but he has grown much chubbier and is now weighing 7.6kg at the last PD visit which I didn’t even manage to go (the husband totally cannot remember his height/head circumstance even it was measured. guys!!). the husband also didn’t take any picture so no pictorial evidence as well. though yes, I am missing out much on his little life but I guess that’s reality and I definitely won’t be able to be there at every single…

Family portraits.
I never got round to blogging about this till now because the pictures took such a long time to get to me. I lost the mojo to blog about it until recently when i was searching for some family pictures to print for Jerry’s school. we did a newborn shoot for jerome some time back, before CNY this year while i was still in confinement and in the midst of it, we bagged in some family portraits as well. Naturally, i still look rather fat and preggers but here’s some of the nicer pictures that i thought was quite natural. this is my absolute favourite of all the pictures because…

Thomas & Friends – Jerry knows his trains!
Ok. I’m guilty as a mum for exposing him to TOO MUCH thomas & friends. DVDs, VCDs, toys, books, bags, water bottle, cookery and the works, but it’s always about thomas thomas thomas (since he is the lead character). so a couple of days back, i bought a few more thomas and friends book for jerry, mainly for bedtime reading and i was really surprised when he pointing at the square train and went…. “Toby!”. I never heard him say “toby” before this even though i have ever read and pointed “toby” to him from another book. and i just had to quiz him! he really amazed me when he…

mywaterway @ punggol on father’s day
sorry for the silence. its contributed by a couple of reasons. first of which is me feeling under the weather and I have been extremely tired of late from solo parenting last week and work and trying to recuperate. and the haze situation isn’t helping. my nose and airway have been irritated by the air and I did a 8-in-a-chain mega sneeze last night followed by burning nostrils, I knew I had to hide under the covers and just sleep. so ya, forgive me will ya? back to father’s day. I bought der an ice cream cup to reward him for a job well done (it’s as good as…

Cuteness overload.
these days, i get entirely smitten by my chubby meatball and totally can’t get enough of him. every day when i get home from work, i just want to go cuddle this squishy big baby. he’s totally not helping me because every time i go near him, he flashes his toothless grin and immediately burst into chortles of laughter. It’s super infectious, i tell ya. the laughter. instantly makes my day a good one or turn a good day into a fantastic one! I can’t quite imagine that he is turning 5 months in a week. he can totally flip both directions now from his back to the front, sit…

about happiness.
this is a topic that i feel very strongly about. after living so many years (i almost revealed my age! HAHA) being a student, being in the work force, getting married, having kids… i just feel. nothing else matters other than happiness. i met this bunch of students with a lot of passion some time back in the course of my work. I could relate strongly to what they wanted to do, how much they felt for their final year project, and how, they wanted to make a difference. and here’s a video of their hardwork. and i was glad to have met them. they reminded me about happiness. …

Jerry is the gentleman.
the other day when the fight happened, the husband and me were in discussion on the topic while strolling to the nearby mall to grab some necessities. and the husband went…. d: i think jerry is quite the gentleman. c: why? d: because… 君子动口不动手。 (literally translated as “the gentlemen uses his mouth instead of his hands” but meant to mean that the gentlemen would reason rather than fight) c: …… *roll eyes* d: ya what! he didn’t hit other people what. he bit the girl, so he used his mouth right? please tell me it’s a pain to deal with my husband sometimes. we sorta concluded that the fight must…

Solo parenting stint.
via the husband is off again on his business trips and i have the week to struggle on solo parenting. honestly, it wasnt that bad when i was on maternity leave. now, with me back at work with 2 kids and more prep work required in getting jerry to school at the same time… i think i am struggling to cope. the daunting thoughts of waking up early, expressing milk, washing the bottles and popping them into the sterilizer, feeding jerry his milk, changing him into his uniforms, feeding jerome and getting ready for work myself feels like i need an entire morning. and i have to get out by…
