Baby Xavier enjoying his toys

Baby Xavier enjoying his toys!!!!

Great Weekend :p

Baby Xavier new found trick : He loves to grab our hair and make us squeal. He will just giggle.

************************************************************************************
We started our Saturday kind of early at about 10am... once baby woke up, bath, finished his milk, we headed to 112 Katong Mall for our brunch. Been there a few times but didn't really got a chance to walk round. I will say that the deco are posh and with up-market retail shops. They have lots of F&B outlets, Golden village multiplex & The marketplace etc.....

The shops that I always patronised - babyOnline located at basement 1, they carry a wide range of high quality baby products at reasonable price especially their range of baby food. Another place I like to go is the market place, they have a large variety of organic vegetable & fruits. This week, I'm going to let baby try pumpkin.

The organic stuff are generally more expensive. One small pumpkin cost about $3.50 & 1 avocado is $3.99. It is said to contain less added chemicals and it taste better than commerical foods. It is also believe to be healthier and is better for us and our children so I have decided to let baby have a try.

so far, baby Xavier had tried wholegrain cereal, sweet potatoes & pumpkin. Next on the list will be avocado & carrot. Baby Xavier loves pumpkin alot.... i think is becos of its natural sweetness bah!!!!

Next, we make our way to Isetan at Parkway Parade. We put him in the baby bjorn carrier while we shop.. Xavier is definitely not behaving like a newborn baby anymore... he loves to be cuddle and carry while we are out...he will kick and babble whenever he sees thing that excite him... he will also lay on me to take his nap...
See! that's us while shopping... :)

Worth Living for

A baby will make love stronger,
days shorter,
nights longer,
bank balance smaller,
home happier,
clothes dirty,
the past forgotten and the future worth living for

Xavier's breastmilk folds

Dear Xavier,

This is probably the time of your life you are soooo cute and cuter as you get plumper!
Mummy looking forward to more of your breastmilk folds :p

Seemingly all grown up

At day 158 (5mths 1wk & 1day), Xavier made a few more discoveries. I'm totally amazed how fast baby xavier can learn!!!

started to get thrilled with some of the toys that he ignored in the past or was unable to participate in playing e.g. able to reach out and pull on the hanging items on the fisher price rocker to make the music come on, he did it with his hands and foot! Knows cause and effect very well.

Able to hold his favourite bottle (NUK wide neck bottle) well & successfully finished his milk without a mess

After weeks of practising, he finally did his first waving bye bye to gong gong and mama this morning --- will try to capture a video for his "First" moment

just realise after I came home from work --- baby xavier, do you want mama to carry??? he immediately got excited with a smile and raise his hands.... omg!

I feel really emotional about all these. Because it seems just like yesterday that Xavier was a little bundle, now yes, he is growing up!!! I feel happy that he is growing up yet sad, that these stages of his life go by soooo fast. I really can't wait to spend 24/7 of my time with him to experience all his "First" moment together....2 more months to go....counting down :)))

In a blink, Xavier turned 5 months old. The previous months didn't seem so obvious but this month, it is very prominent that, he is growing into a little boy.

But he will always be my baby. Be it 5 months, 5 years old, 50 years old.

Like what my friend said, we will always love our child more than our child love us. I think it’s true.

packing ... packing & packing

Into our 2nd day of packing, done with 10 boxes

More to go.... jia you!!!!

Feel so thankful

After giving Xavier a big dose of love
Thankfully, he got better today
He woke up in the morning, with a smile -- they say laughter is the best medicine!

Xavier is sick!!!

Our little darling boy exhibits his first signs of common cold - lots of sneezing. I was sick too, down with flu and cough again!!! I was hoping and praying that the virus will not spread to him. Monitored him and his demeanour, appetite and sleeping habits were pretty normal. By Friday night, though, it was cleared that we were facing our first sick baby. Brought him to the PD this morning, fortunately it was a mild case - mainly just nasal congestion with no fever. Came back with lots of medicine-- nasal spray, nasal drop and oral for allergies.

His milk intake still the same and he was as full of life as ever. I think babies are smart. Xavier knew when he was going to have the medicine and he was all ready for it. At first, I thought he will scream or even push away before I spray the medicine into his nose but to our surprised, he took it very well. I think he knew that the medicine is good for him.

Praying hard that Xavier & mummy will get well soon!!!

first root vegetable - sweet potatoes

My little one first foray into solids, after the initial organic wholegrain baby rice cereal introduction, was sweet potato puree. From everything I have gathered, sweet potato are universally love by most babies because of their sweet taste, and Xavier was no exception. He loved them immediately.

Jarred or Homemade baby food?

Well, my husband and I had a collective agreement of choosing homemade baby food over jarred baby food. This decision was concluded last night.

I personally like to make my little one baby food from fresh veggies and fruits. I love the thought that I made it myself. I truly enjoy doing it. Moreover, I love the idea that what we give him comes from unprocessed produce.

The freshness of the baby food we feed him is just one of the two primary reasons why we opted to continue making him homemade treats. The other one is, "financial practicability."

I am not against jarred baby food. Don't get me wrong. We just realized that making baby food ourselves sounds more practical and delightful knowing that we feed him new variety of veggies and fruits each week, made from fresh produce, prepared with love. And of course, the bucks we save each week is awesome!

I am not saying that we will no longer give Xavier jarred baby food. There should be special situations where commercial baby food is more suitable for an occasion than the homemade one.

Milestone - Rolling over from left

Witness his first roll over to tummy from his left side --- yeah! Now Xavier can roll over to his tummy on both sides.

He will rock on his stomach, kick his legs and swim with his arms to move himself in a circular motion just to grab for his toy or just to get a little closer to me. He is such a sweetie little guy... Muacks :))))

Random Updates

Just an update:

I'm on leave from 14 Mar till 19 Mar to spend time with baby
Carton boxes for packing will arrive tomorrow
Have tender my resignation officially on 9 March. My last day of work should be on 8 April but I have postponed it to 30 April to cover duties for my colleagues.
Extracting my 2 of 4 wisdom tooth tomorrow. My dentist has advised me to remove them as, it is vulnerable to decay, it will affect other teeth, due to improper angulation.
Our USA visa are ready, tentative flight on 4 May
Xavier had his first home made root vegetable today - sweet potato with Breast milk. He loves it lots. Will blog more about it!!!

Xavier 5 months old

Time keeps ticking away!! I can't believe Xavier is five months old, such a big boy. Sometimes I feel like you have been with us forever. Your dad and I are getting used to this whole "being parents" thing and I would say we have a nice routine down by now. Sometimes though I get kinda frustrated, or tired, or just overwhelmed and I feel like a bad parent, but then I remind myself that I've only been "on the job" for 5 months, and it takes most people at least that long to get used to a new job and then I feel so much better.

Xavier has made a lot of new discoveries this month. Here's what he's up to:

Found his feet and loves to play with them

Had his first taste of something other than breast milk and he LIKED it. We started with Rice Cereal and he literally knew how to eat from the spoon, the second I put it in his mouth. He will take my hand, when I'm holding the spoon, and try to shove the spoon in his mouth faster than I can get it there. Boy, oh boy is he going to love the "real" baby food! Stay tuned for that!

Still our "go with the flow" baby. When it's nap time, whether he's at home in his bed or in a stroller out & about, he takes his nap. Love it!

Become a lot more vocal lately too. He loves to talk to his papa

Can sit up on his own for quite sometime. tripod method, of course

One of my absolute favorite things he's doing lately is laughing! He laughs at me making faces or funny noises, and is the most ticklish little thing.

Drink 150ml every 3 hours. still using a medium flow nipple. in size M diapers and wear primarily 3-6 month clothes

Rolled over from your front to his back at 4 1/2 months (from right side)

Hand eye coordination is also improving. Now you actually reach for things and get semi close to actually touching them. Every now and then you will get what you are reaching for and get really excited

Still sleep through the night

Go to bed between 7.30 - 8pm and wakes up by 7am. He lay there so quietly and happily that I don't know exactly when his sweet eyes open for the day.

Nap 2 or 3 times a day. The times and lengths are different every day.

Love his baths & swim

He knows his name

Don't have any teeth yet

Enjoy giving Papa & Mama High Five

Learning "flying kisses" & "bye bye" in progress....

2nd Dip @ Baby Spa

Went for 2nd dip @ baby spa with yi yi & ah ma today
Instead of going to the small pool, we upgraded Xavier to the big pool
Big pool has more space for him to manoeuvre
He is so much happier & calmer than his First

After a while, a 9 months old baby boy joined Xavier for a swim in the big pool . He started to fuss the moment he was placed in the water. He is not happy at all but after a little coaxing and with the hlep of pacifier, he was ok.
Ah ma feels that Xavier is a little affected by him... can feel that he is a little tense. But after a short while, Xavier is back to his usual self... Thumbs Up!!!!

Thank you yiyi for paying for my swimming class today!!!!

All Smiles

Very Happy everyday, especially after a long good nite sleep :)

USA posting in May 2012

Something great is going to happen in 2 months' time :)
I'm going to announce it officially.....
That is.... Hubby will be posted to USA for 2years in coming May 2012, this time is so different, I will be traveling with my baby and my mum. Definitely something to look forward to and be happy about it :)
There are lots of things need to be done, arranged & organised..... so much so until I 'm not sure what needs to be done first. But, we know that baby will always be our utmost top priority.


Next thing on my mind is my job. I love my current job, colleagues and the working environment. I feel kinda sad to leave such a nice place with such wonderful colleagues...... Haiz!!! What to do, in life there are always sacrifices we need to make!!! If you were to give me an option again to choose between job vs family... My choice will always be family.

I know that some people feel that I'm not being realisitic. Many tends to equate success to with money, power & fame. To me, success = cultivate family bonding that last a lifetime. I strongly believe in this "A tightly knit family is like a rock which can survive the toughest storm. In time of crisis, family is the one who is always there to support and help one another."

So, I will never ever trade family with anything else!!!!

Did you know

rice cereals, bananas, and applesauce are some of the most binding foods around and are common causes of constipation.

breastfed babies may be more prone to constipation when solid foods are introduced. This is because their tiny tummies are used to processing the easily and highly digestible mother's milk.

There are many things you can do to help relieve baby's constipation. You can change baby's feeding pattern and/or engage in some physical exercises. Exercises to Help Relieve Infant Constipation include:
Tummy Massage -- Gently massage and rub baby's tummy in a clockwise direction. Place your hands at baby's navel and massage in a circular motion, moving your hand(s) out and away from the center of baby's belly.
Bicycle Legs --- Place your baby on her back and lightly hold her legs in a half-bent position. Gently begin to move your baby's legs as if she is riding a bicycle. Alternate "Bicycle Legs" with Tummy Massage. *"Bicycle Legs" also may help to relieve a baby who is gassy.
A Warm Bath --- Some medical professionals suggest giving your constipated baby a warm bath. The thought is that this may help relax baby and "get things moving" again. Give a tummy massage as you are drying baby.

Relieving Constipation in Babies Younger than 4 Months:
Try giving one to two ounces of diluted fruit juice such as grape, prune or apple-prune twice daily and practice some of the above exercises. (Always consult your pediatrician about the appropriateness of new foods/liquids to help alleviate constipation) Learn about Fruit Juice in your baby's diet. Relieving Constipation in Babies 4 Months to 12 months + by Changing the Food DietAdding more fiber to baby's diet may help get things moving again. Try strained foods that contain high fiber such as:
apricots
prunes
peaches
plums
pears
peas
spinach

3rd day on solid

It been 3 days and I think Xavier is doing quite well now!!! :))
Will start to introduce small amounts of various organic vegetables and fruit once Xavier is 5months old. 5 more days to go :))))
It is advisable to give baby more vegetables than fruit so to prevent baby from developing sweet tooth. At this stage, root vegetables (such as carrot, sweet potato & swede) are recommended. These contain natural sugar, will taste sweeter and blander and may be more palatable to babies.
Baby Xavier enjoying his baby cereal in the afternoon.


To start with home-made baby food, I invest in the Combi step up cooking set. It comes with 3 different mesh to crush foods for your little one. Starts from the green to orange and finally to the yellow one. So to puree I will start off with the green one.

Googled and found lots of baby puree recipe available online Yippi!!! Making baby food is so simple!!! Looking forward to it.


There are certain foods that are recommended to avoid for babies below one year of age, especially on Honey and Citrus fruits like orange. And we are following it to the dot.

2nd day on solid

Breast Milk is still the most important food for him as it provides him with the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Solid given to Xavier now are classed as first tastes and fillers which I will increase very slowly over several weeks, gradually preparing him for 3 solid meals a day.

So, when & how do I feed Xavier solid???

The best time is once a day in early afternoon after milk. This is to ensure that his daily milk intake does not decrease too rapidly before he reaches 6 months. I started off with half a tablespoon of organic wholegrain cereal mix to a very smooth consistency using warm expressed milk of about 20ml.

Guess what!!! baby love it & finish the whole bowl.... Good Job!!!

Play time after meal....

Starting on Solid Food

Well, tried feeding him cereal for the first time today! Xavier is not a fan at first. His face tells it all!!!! I have to be honest, it doesn't smell all that great, it tasted kinda bland with just a little fruity apple taste. For the every first spoon of cereal, he was not sure what am I going to feed him so he was quite reluctant to open his mouth. Subsequent feeds, he was more trusting, he just keep opening his mouth and reaches for the food.

Ready for some cereal --- open up!!



Oh I am not so sure about this!!!


What are you feeding me ???


Taste yummy!!!! Open up for more.....

Xavier @ 4mths, 2wks & 6days

BB is due for his monthly injections, went for his 2nd dose of Pneumoccoccal & 1st dose of Rotavirus. As usual, Xavier did not cry .... what a brave Boy!!!!

We are intending to let Xavier try out some solid food. We feel that he is ready to experience some texture soon. In fact, he's already getting much hungrier and always chewing on his hands, looking longingly at us when we eat. Have spoke to the PD, he advise that is alright to introduce solid food now but give something that are lighter to digest such as baby rice/porridge or puree.

There are many leading brands of baby food widely available, and after doing much research, I wanted to try the Organix range. Organix products include no added salt, extracts, colourings etc just good wholesome food suited to your babies needs with added vitamins to ensure dietery needs are met. This particular packet stated for use for babies 4mths (Stage1)so I felt at ease buying this product.

Food choices aside, we have another problem. We are lack of a high chair!!! So, we make our way to IKEA to get him one... We are surprise that he enjoy the chair!!! :))))

Tmr, we will be his 1st experience of organic baby cereal with apple!!! Yippi!!!! Fun but challenging...

Xavier weighs 7.44kg & height of 67cm. Whooo!!! Above average!!!!

Xavier learning to sit

Sitting independently gives your baby a new perspective on the world

We have started propping Xavier in sitting position since he was 8 weeks old. So now, he has slowly figure out how to maintain his balance while seated by leaning forward on both arms in a tripod position.
Xavier now can sit for a few minutes without assistance but eventually will still topple over...

Good Job, Xavier!!!!

Joy & Pleasure of Xavier's First Dip

Have been wanting to bring Xavier for a swim but he is too young to be in any public pools, so we brought him to the Baby Spa @ Changi Point. This is their new branch, just open in Jan 2012. There are 3 small & 1 big pool. Something special about this branch, the small pool used to be like a bathtub but now parent can get to see their little one kicking through the glass panel.

Started to prepare Xavier for the swim - change into little swimmer diaper & the handlers will then play some music in the pool area Guess wat!!!! ABC - Xavier favourite song!!!

As you can see, the first dip into the warm pool, Xavier is a little tense and he grabbed tight onto my hand.

Shortly, Xavier become more confident and relaxed. And he gets more accustomed to being hang and suspended in the water. Very soon, Xavier start to swim on his own and with a smile.

That's papa & mama with Xavier in the pool



We also managed to record a video :> enjoy!!!

Fasincated

were playing with Xavier and found that how fascinated he was with the hanging chinese new year deco haha (: All of us giggles as we see his reaction to it.

More on Xavier Rolling Over

He does it all the time now, as soon as you put him on the floor/bed on his back he rolls over and can't roll back yet so after 10minutes or so he starts screaming to be rolled back over.

Miraculously, he does not roll over in his crib during nap time. All he does is wiggles all around. Hope he will stay this way....

Should continue to EBM when mama is sick?

mama is down with a sore throat and flu !!! :( Doctor prescribed medicine that are safe to take while BF. Should I continue to EBM when I'm not feeling well??? so worried that I might pass the illness to my little one. Googled and the answer is:

YES!!!! The best thing you can do for your baby when you're sick is to continue to breastfeed. When you have a contagious illness such as a cold, flu, or other mild virus, your baby was exposed to the illness before you even knew you were sick. Your milk will not transmit your illness to baby, but it does have antibodies in it that are specific to your illness (plus anything else you or baby have been exposed to) - they'll help prevent baby from getting sick, or if he does get sick, he'll probably not be as sick as you

Withholding your breastmilk during an illness increases
the possibility that baby will get sick, and deprives baby
of the comfort and superior nutrition of nursing.

So that's it.... I will continue

Mama & Xavier "FIRSTS"

Hubby is on guard duty today. Left home at about 715am. Will only be back on Sunday 8am.

Decided to bring Xavier out for a walk together with yiyi & Ah ma. Mama & Xavier had our few "FIRSTS" today.

• Took a cab - Xavier got a blur look when in the cab, he must be thinking where is papa's car? Btw, thanks to the cab uncle for helping me with the stroller
• Took MRT - North east line from sengkang to Serangoon. Xavier slept throughout the journey
• Stroller on the escalator- am proud that I can handle the stroller well when travel up and down the escalator without hubby's help. Yeah!!! Finally I did it on my own. Used to find it quite dangerous though. Nowadays, Xavier will always look back and give a warm smile when travel down the escalator... so cute rite!!!! Will try to capture it somedays :)
• Changing Diaper in the stroller - Nursing room is too far... so I have to change his diaper in the pram... thought that he would fuzz about it but no....

Today, I'm really happy... everything was so great.... Looking forward to our next "FIRSTS".

Milestone - Xavier learn to roll over (back to front)

At day 132 (4mth 1wk & 5days), he has learn to flip from his back up to lying on his tummy! Woohooo. Once he did it, he was proud for about 3 seconds and then did not want to be on the floor any more!!!But the thing is he can only mainly flip from the right side and he still learning on how to flip back to his back again.

I also realise that his learning to flip is quite probably also due to the harder play area that we put him on. We have not allowed him to play on the ground and he is usually either being carried by us or put on his or our bed which is soft. We have seen him trying to flip several times but was not successful, I think the harder surface that he is on now makes it much easier for him to learn to flip. And he has managed to transfer that flipping technique to using it on softer surfaces!

Xavier rolled over for the first time a couple of days ago. Today was the first day I could catch it on video! Xavier is such a persevere & patient little guy.... Muacks!!!!

Xavier new trick - high five

Xavier gives papa a high five! Good job, baby!!!!

What next? flying kiss, clapping & bye bye.....

Its our 7th year!!

Today, is our seventh year wedding anniversary. Reaching this marked of marriage is remarkably. Of course, there were up and downs but the best of it all is we have weathered all the storms.

I just thought of posting this today to thank my hubby how great husband he is even though there are times that i am mean to him. Haha!!! I love my husband so much coz he loves me unconditionally. I am very grateful & feel so lucky having him in my life.

He is perfect for me because of his imperfections.
To my loving hubby,Thank you for loving me and taking care of me.
I love you so much!

Taken a lovely pic while out shopping with family today......

A step closer being a SAHM

Back in the olden days, the idea of staying at home with their kids is seen as a waste of time and economic opportunity. However, times and attitudes are changing.

There are great advantages being a stay at home mom. The bond that mothers build with their children when they stay at home is a great bond. Mother will feel very rewarding & fulfilling. I am very much looking forward for that day to arrive (should be very soon ba??). The benefits for staying at home are immeasurable. Children grow up so incredibly fast, I don't want to have any regrets for not spending enough time with my little one. It is not an opportunity offered to everyone, I'll treasure it.

The thought of it makes me so happy everyday. I can get to kiss and cuddle him and tell him I love him many many times a day. He will have home-made food and have meals together everyday. We'll able to sing, baby talk, tickle and laugh together. These are the moments and memories that I long to have.

Taking care of children at home is often underestimated and under- considered. Being a SAHM is a full time job. I know it will be exhausting and difficult than I can image, physically and emotionally. But, as long as I'm able to form a beauitful bond with my baby and witness his every stages of growth I know is all worth it....

Thoughts on parenting from decades ago....

Before this, I have never heard of Khalil Gibran but one of his text on parenting and children caught my eye.
"Our children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable."
I especially like the last bit about parents being the bow and children the arrow - so true!

First Rolling Over

My little one isn't rolling yet, only onto his side
So, for the past few days, we have been practicing with him

And something great happen this morning....
Out of no where, my little one did his very FIRST roll over from tummy to back
at that split moment, baby was amazed by himself on what he did
we applaud his efforts and smile... He looks happy & proud!!!!

Baby did his 2nd roll over during his play time with ah ma
Oh gosh.... I miss it...
I'm dying to see him do it again.....

should I discipline my Baby?

Gotten some advise from some mommies & daddies
alot feels that babies should be discipline but definitely not in way you might think
discipline does not mean punishment
After all, a baby cannot talk, lacks reasoning skills, do not comprehend cause-and-effect, and yet to achieve understanding in many areas.

So as a parent, we should:

• Prevention-keep the baby safe & feel secure



• Build relationship -parent and child can communicate through giving and receiving cues



• Distract, redirect and follow through

What to avoid:

• physical discipline - slap legs, squeeze hands, pinch arms, swat mouths and spank bottoms. Harsh discipline can scare baby. It can reduce healthy exploration and risk taking resulting lower self confidence leads to lower IQ scores. The more children are spanked, the more likely they become non compliant, aggressive and antisocial.



• Avoid overusing the word "no"- must use it appropriately
  

A baby is just a baby. They are not being "bad" or "defiant" or Manipulative"; they are simply responding to the new world around them in the only way they yet know how....

It's important to get in the habits of practicing positive discipline ASAP... no more spanking from now onwards.... :)

Random thoughts

Every little setback has always made us stronger
Being a parent, has changed us for the better
It's a gift to bring life into the world, the thoughts of baby xavier make me SMILE & give me STRENGTH

Xavier New look :)

Got his hair shave on the 4 Feb 2012, Saturday at 2pm

papa & mama was worried that baby might cry or fuss about it

so we brought along his favourite rattles & sophie to distract him

We also brought along his personal chair....

When we reached the salon, we put him on his bumbo and wrap him with a towel

To our surprise, Xavier was not bother at all...

He enjoyed the whole shaving process

***Thumbs Up***

Xavier will be 4 months old in another 6 days. Yippi!!

健康快乐，幸福平安

Baby Workout

Our Little Xavier used to hate tummy time, he will fuse the moment I lay him on his tummy---I Know baby has to work extra hard against gravity to keep his head up -- it's strenuous...

But recently things started to improve.... with better neck strength and head control.... he started to enjoy his tummy time.

Also introduce a new essential baby product ---- Bumbo. Xavier is able to sit up with no support for at least 10 seconds.... yeah!!! a little improvement everyday

Will continue to practice on bumbo!!!!

papa & mama Love you, muacks!!!!

Shave or not to shave???

Xavier got a few bald patches from lying on his back too much
Thought of shaving his hair... so that can grow more evenly
Currently, he has nice beckham hairstyle which I couldn't bear to shave off. I'm afraid that once I shave it off, it will not be as nice as what he's having now.

HOW.... Shave or not to shave?????

Is it true that shaving a baby's head (or cutting his hair very short) makes the hair grow in thicker and stronger?

If yes, I will do it!!!!!

Cranky baby of the day

Xavier is such a cranky baby today
Keeps on yawning but just refuse to nap

He cries and screams after feed

Go from 3hours to 2hours feeding

Seem like he is not drinking enough

All he wants is Milk....Milk & more Milk

Is my baby going through a growth spurt????
