Tiring 2 weeks...

At first it was me who fell ill with stomach flu last Mon - Bad diarrhea, fever and chills. Felt terrible for 2 days. Then I was hit with migraine again on Fri - Vomitting and bad head pain at one side of the head.

On the same weekend, Giselle down with bad flu which leads to viral fever started on Sunday morning. This went on till Mon night. She was so uncomfortable with bad runny nose, watery eyes and chills due to fever. She looked really sick. In fact, she hasn't been so sick for quite a long time.

Adrian and me had a hard time trying to keep Jaren and Giselle apart. Both of us really prayed no one, especially Jaren will get the virus from Giselle. Who knows, Adrian got some of the virus from Giselle on Sun night.

Just then as Giselle was on the road to recovery on Tue and I was thanking god for keeping the virus away from Jaren, fever struck Jaren on Tue afternoon during his afternoon nap. He was really uncomfortable and kept whining and whining. In fact, first time I saw him like this - irritated and whiny, because he has always been such a happy and contented baby. His fever hit as high as 38.9degreeC.

As he such a young baby, I brought him to see Dr Tan on wed morning just to make sure he has been checked. After about 2 doses of paracetamol, his body managed to win the virus battle and fever went away.

After my first experience with such continuous downtime for everyone in the family, nothing is more important than having all the people in my family to be healthy!

Jaren's New Haircut (His First)

Jaren's hair has been dropping since he was 4 months old and it made his hairstyle looks rather uneven throughout.

So I thought it's time for him to get his hair trim to looks neat!

The whole process was rather uncomfortable for him and me. I had to carry him on my shoulder. Then the hairstylist to quickly snip his hair and another of her colleague to distract him. As the hair fell on his body, face, neck, he felt so irritated and kept rubbing his whole face on my shoulder and cried.

Thank god the process was fast and I quickly went home to let him had a good bath...

So how does he look now with his new hairstyle? :)

Giselle's Favourite Chicken Rice

When my mum comes to my house to help out on every Tue and Wed, she will buy Giselle's favourite chicken rice from Redhill market on wed. Giselle will always like to eat her chicken rice with a little black sauce.

Of course, from the photo, it's a big packet and this is actually to share with her por por.. haha.

"I Got No More Saliva!"

Her Daddy overheard one of Giselle's telephone conversation with my mum last week. She was chatting and talking on things on "anything under the sun" topics and she got thirsty. Hence, she told my mum:

Giselle: "Por Por, you hold on ah, I got no more saliva, need to go drink water!"

Por Por: " ok! "

Giselle (after she's back from drinking water): "Por Por, ok, can talk already, I got saliva now..."

Can fall from your chair right? Hahaha...

Jaren at 4.5mths old...

Many people said Jaren looks like mummy, but also some said definitely looks like Daddy. Well, I guess Jaren has the combination of my husband and me :)

Not sure is it because of how I trained him from 2 months onwards, Jaren always has been a contented baby. Most of the time, he follows the routine that I had set for him and plays on his own when I am busy. And the most heart melting thing is that when I go to him after I am done with my things, he would always greet me with a smile and sometimes a laugh to show that he is just so happy to see me.

I am really thankful that I am fortunate to be able to witness my kids’ growth and guide them the correct way to grow up and learn.

Jaren seldom gets cranky even when his diaper was soiled. But when he is hungry and I still have not attended to him within 5 mins, he will wail out loud. Haha, I guess most babies do that…Really naughty me.

Compare to Jaren now at 4.5months old to Giselle when she was the same age, they were a big difference. Giselle demanded attention most of the time and it was probably our fault that when she cries, we would attend to her immediately. That must have really pampered her too much.

Giselle and her little brother shares a deep affection in their relationship. When Giselle is within Jaren’s sight, his eyes will follow her movement. When Jaren and Giselle lie besides each other, Jaren will smile and giggled non-stop, with his saliva all drooping out like water rain droplets…..

As I am typing this post, my dear Jaren is trying to lift his bum up using his arms to legs to push it up. Seems like he is trying a new stunt now... haha
