Our Bundle of Joy, JARED LIM..

The arrival of Baby Evabelle, on 26th March 2009 at Raffles Hospital. She weighs 3020 grams at birth and she's really adorable. We visited both Mummy & baby for 2 consecutive days at Joshua's place and also to help out with their newborn. Looking at how tiny the baby is, I missed those days when Jared was still a newborn. Heheheh.. so cute!

Joshua went to look for 游龙子 too, to get Evabelle's chinese name. They have decided to use 煊潓。 Very nice and unique handwriting characters. Looking forward to Baby Evabelle's full month celebration.

I have uploaded 2 videos of Jared. Both were taken last week when he was having his apple puree & walking around the house in his walker when he spotted Disney Mickey on Channel 34.

Apparently he stopped and watch the cute Mickey & Minnie jumping. Wanted to capture his funny expressions but it was too late.

I'm having stiff neck right now. Not that I did not sleep well last night, in fact I slept too well cause I bunked in with Little Jared on the queen sized bed at Mum's room. This little imp of mine occupied almost 3/4 of the bed and in order not to wake him up from his sleep, I gotta make do with the tiny space. I tilt my head to the right for the whole day at work! Its terrible!! I reckon most of the customers might thought that I have slanted neck or what!

Jared went for his ECA again today! We brought him to Habourfront Centre for a swim. He was enjoying himself very much and kicking water in the tub but there's a toddler who was crying like there's no tomorrow while having his haircut. He was screaming & shouting till the glass gonna break any time. Jared got agitated and begin to be cranky. I was jumping mad (of course!) cause another baby started crying too. End up, all babies inside Hua Xia were crying. Naturally, our dear little Jared cried too and refused to stay in water anymore.

Carried him out of the water to comfort him and we ended the swimming lesson lasted for a mere 20minutes. Its such a waste of money.. and I ain't pleased at all. For 2 consecutive lessons, Jared met those crying babies as his neighbour and indirectly affected his mood & behaviour. We ain't gonna bring him to Habourfront the next time anymore! Maybe we should try going to Plaza Singapura instead on a weekday.

Anyway, Jared calmed down after we dressed him. Went over to the shop opposite Hua Xia to top up his organic groceries again before proceeding to Vivo. His Daddy bought him a reversible hat at Pumpkin Patch as there's 20% discount for UOB cardholders. Its a good buy cause Jared looks good in that hat.

Apparently, we took some pictures of him wearing different designs.

We bought the last one for him! I think the second one is nice too..~sigh, should have bought both.

We finally made up our mind and bought Jared a new COMBI pram. We got the well-lite pram yesterday morning at the baby fair. It weighs not more than 5kg and its very light as compared to the previous pram (Capella) which was 8.5kg! Decided not to buy the Maclaren one cause it can't be fully reclined and the metal structures seems to be quite hurting. Anyway, I wasn't quite pleased with the purchase cause I realised that the canopy is kind of slanted, or should I say its out of shape? Not sure what happens but I will check it out with the promotor on Tuesday when I return back to work lor. Sigh..

We went thru so much of research and looking around at TANGS, Mothercare, Metro & finally at Takashimaya but still end up getting a pram with a canopy that is slightly defective. Probably we were too used to the Capella we had, now I find that the COMBI one looks quite small and cramp for Jared.

Oh ya, received a letter from MCYS. The $1000 baby bonus has been credited again! LOL.. We'r half way there now, another $2k pending.

Mummy is on MC today so she has all her free time staying home to help look after me when Grandma is busy with the household chores. See my pictures below; Mummy snapped them when I was happily wondering around in the house with my walker.

Oh yah, Daddy & Mummy sold my Capella pram away already! They are thinking of getting me a new pram any time sooner but still doing "research" lor. Am anticipating to sit in my new pram pram loooo~ kekekeke...

Jared woke up early this morning. Probably he knows we'r going out and its gonna be a long car journey so he didn't wanna miss the moments. We reached Bedok at 10.15am.. We gave him milk at the reception office before going up to the columbarium area to pay our respect to my late father. Jared was very well-behaved and he even put his palms together (with our assistance of course!) and pray. His eyes were all focused on the offerings we placed on the table, as well as Dad's tablet in the glass case.

Jared even poo-ed when we were there. Naughty little him... hehehe. We stayed there for about an hour or so before leaving for ICA. It was raining heavily but the rain stopped when we reached Lavender. Apparently I thought its gonna be a long queue at the counter for passport collection cause its the school holidays right now. But who knows, we waited for less than a minute and it was our turn already. Hubby gave up his parking coupon to another driver who took our lot. Hahahaa..

Jared looks good in his new passport photo. He's getting sleepy as we drove our way back home & fell asleep in his car seat.

Something to share; Click here if you or any friends/colleagues who might be interested in some preloved clothings of Jared's. Letting go cheaply, and all prices are negotiable. Our little Master has outgrown many of his clothings now. I wish to clear some storage space for him so that he can get more new clothings. Rest assured that all items are well-maintained & kept (unless otherwise stated) as I'm quite a fussy & particular Mummy (as some of you might be aware of). Buy more & save more!

Jared is extremely good today. To my our surprise, he behaves very well today. Its really something worth bringing up. Probably, he knows today is 二月十九 aka known as 观音诞 so he is in his best form today.

We brought him for his 3rd dose of Hexa (6-in-1) jab today. Waited for 30mins at the clinic despite we were the next one in queue. We were quite furious and impatient cause Jared's feeding time was approaching as each minute drifts away. Will be bringing him out early tmr morning cause its Dad's 3rd death anniversary & we'r going to 三清宫 to pay our respect. Jared will be going with us as well cause I reckon Dad wants to "see" him too. I pray that Jared will come back well-behaved & everything will goes well. After our praying session, we will head down to ICA & collect Jared's passport! Yipppee!! Yes, his passport application has been approved. I never expect that the photo we submited will get approved for the 1st attempt. Lalalalalalala..

Its getting late now. Everyone in the house is asleep, including Jared. I better go to sleep too.. tmr is another busy day!

At Jared's 6th month;

He's able to flip on his tummy and back without assistance.
He walks in his walker around the house. Be it forward, backwards or sideways.
He can swim and splash water when we place him inside the big tub at Hua Xia.
He likes to go gai-gai.
He starts to "boooo" at us with his saliva.
He sleeps with his buttock high up in the air occasionally.
He's eating porridge now.
He'd switched to Similac follow-on now and still drinking 160ml.
He'd completed Rotateq and Peunmoccocal jabs.

My naughty little boy is so mischeivious at times. When he behaves well, he's indeed very nice but when he turns nasty, he can tear the whole house down. His passport application has been sent to ICA to prcoess. We'r awaiting for the confirmation email/letter to collect his passport... hhehe.... His 1st birthday is 6mths away from now. Do we need to start planning for him? Its gonna be a hassle planning for a party I know.

On Saturday, Hubby & I attended my cousin's wedding at Mandarin Oriental. It was a wedding lunch, simple and nice :)

We left Jared at home under Mummy's care cause he was still asleep when we were about to leave the house. Moreover, I reckon he's gonna make a fuss when he's lack of sleep so we left him at home instead. Hehehehe..

Here's a pic of Hubby & I

Jared went for his 2nd swim at Hua Xia yesterday! He was fast asleep when we put him in his car seat and woke up only when we reached the car park. Probably he was tad too tired and I think he didn't enjoy as much as his 1st swim.

The other babies were crying and making so much noise. Somehow or rather, I think their cries kinda affected Jared too. He was too busy looking at those babies who were crying and must be damn shocked too. LOL~ You know when 1 baby cries, the other will follow suit. We are so lucky that Jared wasn't the 3rd one who cried with them.

We had our lunch at the nearby food court and soon left for Joshua's place after shopping for his organic groceries just opposite of Hua Xia. Passed the big pot to Joshua's wife and the personalised pillow case for his baby. How time flies, little princess of Joshua & Wife is popping by end of the month. Looking forward to see little princess ya... Their 3D & 4D scan done at Raffles Hospital was very very clear. Little princess was so co-operative and the gynae managed to snap pics of her from different views. She ressembles Arvinna (Joshua's wife) so much and its just like a photo-copy of her. Kekekeke..

Jared loves his walker now! The lady from Rent-that-toy is coming to pick up the Jumperoo tomorrow morning. In fact, Jared "abandon" the Jumperoo now cause he prefer the walker more. He's able to walk forward, backward, sideway and change his directions now as long as we used something to attract him. Good job baby! Mummy didn't know that you could learn things so fast.

The NATAS fair just ended yesterday and nope we didn't managed to book any packages cause the latest departure dates were for the June holidays. Anyway, we decided to go during the October/November period when Jared gets older. One of the destinations we are looking at is KOREA! Yeah!! We'r hoping to go there during their Autumn season cause its more cooling and not so humid. Anyway, Korea is one of the country we will consider..

Jared is getting smarter nowadays. He can jump and bounce in his Jumperoo in a very fast speed non-stop! His left feet is doing the "stamping" all the time and bringing the force to the ground. I wonder how he do it sia.. If I were him, I'm sure to be panting all the way! He has really good stamina lor. Anyway, the rental period will be up soon. Decided not to extend anymore cause we intend to buy him a walker instead. He had fun "walking" inside Droydon's walker when we brought him back to MIL's place. He's able to "walk" to the side direction and reverse direction. Hehehehe.. Since Droydon is 3 weeks younger than Jared & he'd already started "walking" in walker, of course we'r not gonna let Jared lose out. Shall get Hubby to go shopping together this cominf weekend to get Little Jared a walker!

Jared gonna miss him Daddy so much cause Daddy just went for his reservist this morning early in the morning when the Sun has not rised.

Jared is very good at grabbing things now. He will grab my face when I carry him facing me. Occasionally he will just use both hands and grab my whole face (left & right) then give me a kiss on my lips! He's such a sweetie.. For now, Jared is my everything and part of my life!
