Little Declan's molar are all out now. I hope it is because of this that cause him to be rather choosy with food recently. He's been spitting out his food recently and refused porridge. So now I have gotta cook rice for him and its pretty tough to crack my brains on the "menu". Everytime he finished his food, we will have a hard time cleaning up as there will be food all over the place. So now we just place a piece of majong paper under his highchair and wrap it up after his meal..hehhe.

Little Declan is now learning to walk, actually he can walk up to 5 steps without support but everytime when he realised I have let go of his little hand, he will become "kan cheong" and rushed towards me. I guessed he is just not confident yet. Now his new trick to "clap and bow", and it works everytime after we sung him his favourite song @ Happy Birthday! Hahha..It was really a joy to watch!

Happy Chinese New Year! Time flies, little Declan is now 14 mths old and this is his 2nd time celebrating CNY! However this year is totally different from last year. Now he can crawl all over the place instead of just lying down in his bouncer..LOL.

Its been a busy week but enjoyable. Declan's "Da Yi" aka my elder sis came back from USA for CNY and I am glad the 2 of them "clicked" haha..Though she is back for only 10 days, but I think she has already developed a "strong liking" towards him..lol. See you back here again next year sis! By then I think Little Declan would be able to walk and talk. :)

Random Pics!

My little Declan was sick for the past 2 days. Rushed him to KKH at ard 2am in the morning when I realised he is running a fever of 39 degrees! He was already covered in 2 blankets yet he was shivering! Doctor said it was due ti viral infection, and thank god he is now recovering well.

Daddy Koh booked 2 roooms for us and my parents at the Pan Pacific Hotel during christmas eve. Thought we could go to the Singapore Flyer also but too bad it's suspended its service due to technical fault the previous day. So in the end we just hang ard at Marina Square and Millenia Walk. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! O ya, also collected Declan's passport, heheh looking forward to bring him overseas soon.

T3

Brought little Declan to T3 on Friday, it was his 3rd time there..Nothing much to see actually, just thinking of letting him see the plane taking off. He enjoys it! Little Declan is getting very notti nowadays, he hates the word "NO" and will throw a tantrum when he hears that. I guessed I am the only person he is afraid of cos I am very strict with him. For example if Daddy Koh or his grandparents tells him "NO", he simply ignore them. But once he hears my voice, he will stop. FRankly speaking I am glad that I am able to "control" him cos at least he won't misbehave in public.

My mum-in-law commented the other day that she is fanscinated by the fact that:

1) My son drinks plenty of water (at least 4 bottles (125ml each) per day)
2) Eat almost anything especially vegetables like celery, beetroot etc.
3) Listens to instructions (i.e, when I said "no", he dun even dare to move)
4) Has a fixed routine (Bath at 8pm, drink milk at 8.30pm than off to lala land at 8.45pm)
5) Able to tell us that he wanna poo, and can sit on toilet bowl
6) Sleeps alone in his room
7) Can wash his head by pouring water directly over his head.

You should see the smile on Daddy Koh's face when he hears that, one look and you can see that he is very proud of his son. Of course, I reminded him that all these will never be possible if I never "trained" my son early..hahha

Declan, the little artist!

Bought some finger paint at Marina Square the other day. Decide to let little Declan has a go at it. Funny thing was he simply hates to put on the Ekmo apron! Making a fuss out of it..Haha...BUt still managed to complete his first masterpiece!

Declan is officially 1 year old today! Looking back, time really flies..Its seems like yesterday that I am in the delivery suite giving birth.

Anyway, bought a few cupcakes from crystal jade for a mini celebration since he has already had a big bash on his lunar birthday. Now his favourite song is "Happy Birthday" and he will protest once you stopped singing..So cute..:)

O ya, he has 2 more teeth coming up, so now he has a total of 6 teeth!

Yes, Declan's birthday party is over and I am proud to say that its a success! The food, ambience, decor and services are nice. As for the cake, its was cute and now I had plenty of people asking me where I got it from. So in the end, I think the money we spent on his bash is well worth it!

Because its his lunar birthday, mum asked me to "home-made" two buns in the shape of older days pillow for Declan to step on. This is to symbolise that may he start walking soon. Also we did the traditional thing of putting a pen, ruler, calculator, spring onion with corriander leaves, a book, drum stick and a toy stethoscope in a basket. It was then left at a distance away from Declan for him to select 3 items. Little Declan picked up the calculator first, then the veg and lastly the drumstick! According to my mum, Calculator means he is good at earning money, the veg means he is intelligient and dilligent and lastly the drumstick is being a boss with no lack of food! Haha it was fun to perform all these traditional customs.

Pics on his BIG DAY!
