My little boy, Jerome.
Today is a day that I rejoice! Finally, the 3 weeks of solo parenting is OVER! The government returned my husband to me last night and even though I was stuck in a class till almost midnight, there is so much to be happy about! One of them is, of cos, moving back into my own home later today. Can’t wait. I miss my bed! While the solo parenting has been somewhat tough and extremely tiring, I got to bond a lot with my little kid, Jerome. He was stuck to me at the hip almost everyday when I was on leave for a week and boy, did we have fun!…

Jerome’s 1st swim!
As 2nd time parents, I honestly think that we are tardy in some ways in exposing Jerome. Jerry had his first swim at 5 months, but Jerome only went for his first swim last month when he is 17 months old. While there are many factors that lead to this, the key reason is… having one kid is so much easier to manage, especially with 2 pairs of watchful eyes. Here’s the truth. We weren’t as confident in bringing 2 kids to the pool by ourselves especially when they both are so young, and basically not easy to handle (i.e. super active). And then, the kids just keep falling sick one…

My little Jerome turns ONE! Happy 1st Birthday!
Exactly a year ago on this very day, i had the most bizarre gynae appointment ever, which landed me in the hospital for child delivery WITHOUT the husband by my side. Unthinkable right? and fast forward today, my little chubby baby koala turns ONE! Has it really been *ONE* year already? It went by in a whizz and i can’t say i remember much of it. Having 2 kids really takes up a lot more of your time, and i have been slacking on his development milestones. Each month, i meant to write, and ended up postponing the post, or having a half written post in my draft folder and…

jerome turns 8 months.
slightly over a week ago, jerome turned 8 months old. this little bundle of sunshine of mine cheers me up everyday. at 8 months, he has 8 fully grown teeth. i have no clue why my kids’ teeth sprouts so fast! I thought jerry’s progress was fast when he was a baby, but jerome’s progress is so much faster. he stands unassisted now for a couple of seconds before he plonks his fat butt down again. he walks like a champ assisted and can get around the house pretty fast when he crawls or walks about. he’s always wary about falling down so he clutches one hand onto somewhere all…

Jerome is 7 months (and a couple of days more).
Im forever behind time when i blog about my kids’ milestone. that’s life of a working mum with 2 kids – things don’t exactly go the way you plan it! at 7 months, my little munchkin amazes me all the time. some days, he looks like he has lost some weight.. other days, he looks like a big blob of fats and you can’t even see his neck. heh. eating some tissues here he’s been up to some serious development the past month, or haven’t i been looking? he can hoist himself up easily now before i could even count 2, and he kinda aced his motor skills. he moves…

jerome turns 6 months.
my chubby baby turned 6 months old a couple of days back, just like that. has it really been half a year? and just for the stats, he is currently at 8.05kg, way heavier as compared to jerry at the same age and I really love all his chubby fats. feels like a squishy bear all the time when I hug him. his head circumference is 42cm and height is 66cm tall. this baby is a loud and noisy one. he is constantly trying to blabber something or shrieks and screams when he is unhappy. he revels in human touch. if you leave him alone, he screams and demand…

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…

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…

and jerome flips!
some time earlier this week, my mum reported that jerome started flipping when I came home from work one day! he has been on the verge of flipping for a while and that morning, when my mum was skyping my aunt.. he flipped. and my aunt was pretty estactic to have seen it first-hand (via webcam) and witnessed this major milestone of his. I felt a little left out and bummed that I didnt witnessed it myself cos I was at work. then again, its something that all full time working mums would have to grapple with so im definitely not alone. looking forward to his next milestone!…

jerome plays with sir prance-a-lot
At 3.5 months, jerome is getting a little more interactive with his surroundings. my mum hung a lamaze toy in front of him this afternoon while she went about her chores and he started putting out his hand to push it. although he did miss a few times before he actually hit the swinging toy, i was silently rooting his each attempt. too cute! I suddenly have a flashed back memory of jerry doing the same thing not too long ago.. but he is so grown up now! gotta cherish these baby moments before they are all gone!
