about a boy

… not.
There seems to be some invisible barrier. Every time we are nearing the 10kg mark, Jayden misses it by just a bit. He was close to 10kg when he fell ill with the horrible fever. And now, when we think he has actually hit it, he did not. He is at 9.8kg.
Very weird.
Overheard at [...]

Where, oh where, has your baby gone? You have a full-fledged toddler living with you now. Walking and running [...]

To…

everyone who was at the Singapore Food Fair on Friday (afternoon)
those terrorised by the loud wailing outside Hall 3
all the commuters of the (same) Bus 24 around 7pm
the lady who sat next to us from Expo till Paya Lebar

We apologise for the little dynamo named Jayden. We know he was whacking everyone who was obstructing [...]

Dear Jayden,
you turned 15 months exactly on Saturday, the day we celebrated Mother’s Day with grandma. You were a good sport that day, going out with grandpa and grandma. Down to the nearby playground, off to great-grandma’s. I think you had fun. As did the rest.

As hard as it is to imagine, you [...]

Dear Jayden,
you turned 14 months old today. I didn’t quite remember. Not with you falling sick and just barely recovering. The fever has broken and I pray that would be the last we see of it.
We are starting to see more of your cheeky self returning with the flu retreating. A good thing as it [...]

Dear Jayden,
you are just 4 days shy of your 6 month birthday and my, how time flies! Just last month, I decided that enough was enough and actually plucked up the courage to tender my resignation. Making the decision was so hard to do because daddy and I have been so used to a dual-income [...]

Dear Jayden,
we went for your 2nd jab yesterday… it was the same time that you had your general check up and everything looks great. While we all thought that you MUST weigh at least 6kg by now, you only weigh about 5.5kg. I guess having to carry you around makes the weight seem so much [...]

Dear Jayden,
time really flies when you are not paying attention to it. I am amazed to think that you are two months old already… You have grown so much in all aspects and everyday, we learn something new about you. You have started learning to smile, sometimes showering us with them as we feed you [...]

Dear Jayden,

you are more than 5 weeks old now… and really, in the twinkling of an eye, almost half my maternity leave has flown past. These 5 weeks have been filled with lots of love, cries, hugs, frustration and generally, intensive training to be a mum. This past week we have gone through a lot. [...]

Dear Jayden,
this weekend marks your first month celebrations… Mummy and daddy are going a little crazy trying to plan for it because you have been so blessed by the many aunties and uncles who dote upon you. We are trying to figure out how to thank them properly but sometimes there just is no way [...]
