Elijah flips again!

While putting Elijah to sleep for his naptime this morning, Elijah flips again from tummy to his back. This is his second time flipping..the 1st time happened on last Wed 24th June...but I really thought it was a by luck thing. Hehehhe didn't think much. This morning, he actually flipped twice and proved to mummy..he's a big boy...strong enough to flip already. I'm so proud of U Elijah...way to go. And mummy even had the opportunity to video half of your second flip. :) Well here it is.

A walk in the Park

Today is a beautiful Sat....and so I thought that Daddy has not take a nice walk with mummy and Elijah before so today shall be the day. We happily push Elijah in the pram....letting him enjoy the nice breeze.


I think Elijah is getting pretty used to the pram already....good job. We brought the camera along and manage to put up some nice family shots including shots of U smiling happily. Well here are some of the photos.



Elijah and our home in the backdrop.....a nice garden for him to enjoy. A key reason for making the place our home.
Pouty Elijah and Daddy

Ah at last...smiley Elijah


A nice family potrait but erm...alittle tough to get Elijah to look at the camera and smile. Thanks to the wide angle camera

Elijah's 1st pram ride

Decided that it was time for Elijah to try out pram rides. I'm abit worried how he might respond....coz he didn't quite like car seat sometimes...especially the night rides...plus he doesn't like to lie down for too long. Anyway...decided to try him out on hi pram for a short ride to the park near ah ma's place. Had to quietly disappear coz cousin Claudia might want to follow if she found out about it. So I quietly set up the pram and sneak off with Elijah.

Hmm..throughout the pram ride..he was quiet...alittle puzzled but other than that he was alright with it. I tried sitting down at a bench...he even gave me a smile when I talked to him. Guess it wasn't so bad afterall. But think if I sat there any longer...he would have been really bored by then and started his complains. He seems to enjoy it when he was being pushed around. Oh well...perhaps we could try with a shopping trip in future. :)

When I reached ah ma's place....cousins Claudia and Darius were running around in the garden...managed to snap a few shots. :) Well ur very 1st pram ride. Wasn't it fun? Well, there'll be more pram rides in future yah.

A 1st real outing to Singapore Flyer

Today is really an exciting day for Elijah. It's Elijah's 1st decent outing...not to the nearby malls for groceries shopping but a real outing. His day starts early.....10am to the Singapore Flyer. We are celebrating Father's day cum Mother's birthday today. We had long due flyer tickets which Iris bought with the NTUC card deal. We wanted to go on Xmas eve but lucky for us..the Flyer was stuck 1 day before...and thus was closed for a period of time. Well, at last manage to get my family to the flyer. Real excited about it. But alas...I think I've misplaced the tickets...sigh. Oh well....I'm not going to let that spoil my beautiful day at the flyer with my family.

On our way there...it looked cloudy...was praying hard it wouldn't rain. Luckily it didn't.

Well...think we all had a great time in our very own capsule. Cheewan had a great idea to bring the tripod.....Whyemun whiped out his Nikon SLR....so we had great shots in the sky. :) Mum was busy pacifying sleepy Elijah. Dad listening to the commentary provided. It was bazaar...Ellie actually brought homework to the flyer to do. Hhahahah. Elliot busy playing with his McQueen and cars. Guess we were all quite entertained for that half hour. It was lovely to see dragonboats at Marina barrage far far away. Too bad Brother couldn't join us. Was sad about it but oh well...perhaps the next family trip then. Poor Elijah was sleeping the whole way though. Wish we had family photo of him not sleeping hehehe. But luckily we manage to take 1 before heading to the skies.

Afterthat, we headed to Noble house for a nice lunch. Ordered the kids fave....Peking Duck and fried rice. Had a whole load of dim sum. It was a lovely day. I totally enjoyed myself. Managed to make Elijah smile lots while his daddy was carrying him. Glad we managed to take a few shots of that. Not sure if Elijah enjoyed it as much as I did..think he was abit cranky coz of lack of sleep. Oh well...maybe when he grows alittle older, he'll enjoy family trips more.

Meanwhile I let the photos speak for itself.

Elijah enjoying his car ride!

Elijah turns 3 months old

I've been wanting to start a blog about Elijah since his birth but guess with a few misfortunes...it was tough...I'll elaborate on his birth....and the misfortunes and his development over the 3 month slowly in the different blogs. Too many things to cover and too little time to backtrack. But I guess I really want to start before more and more of little Elijah's development just fly past through my own eyes and I didn't even bother jotting them down. Think I'll live to regret by then.

Having a child is once in a lifetime event and no 2 individual can be the same...which means if I do want another kid....it'll never be the same as going through Elijah's growth phase...so this really means a whole ton to me.

Have been so tired and worn out ever since his birth. Raising a kid is never easy. It's tough yet sweet. So contradicting, isn't it? I guess only mothers will understand what I mean eh. Just like the taste of dark chocolate...bitter sweet. A little mix of both...hehehe and I love dark chocolate. Well.....right now..am loving everybit being mum....loving my love right now...waking up just to see my little darling Elijah...and ur daddy of course..it's a fantastic feeling especially not having to think about work at all. I'm gonna miss these precious moments when I get back to work next year.

Today Elijah turns 12 weeks exactly. How time flies...and I suppose this will be a good time to start blogging about Elijah. :)

The day started with Daddy being trigger happy as we just bought the new sony cybershot....Daddy managed to take quite a few shots of U looking happy. Daddy was really happy with the camera as most imptly it took fantastic indoor shots. Elijah...u're daddy's darling..daddy was so disappointed with the photos he took with the SLR that he bought another camera just to make sure we dun miss ur growing phases and development.

Elijah's 1st Father's Day Celebration
We went to the Zhicar near Sembawang park to celebrate Father's Day with Cheewan's family. It was a simple yet heartwarming meal...once again Elijah slept almost throughout the whole meal in the nice sling. Guess he simply loves the warmth provided by the Sling..and it's a really rainy evening..what a nice day to sleep yah Elijah.

Colicky Elijah

Elijah has been crying lots to sleep since Friday night and it only occurs during the night. Pains me to see U cry like this. Wish I know why u're crying. I think it's coz U are colic. Initially I always thought it was due to disrupted sleep....at home...evening time always meant going to granny's house for dinner during ur evening....at ah ma's house...U were always woken by ur cousin Claudia. But today....U were at home all this while...no1 woke U up but U woke up on ur own and cried and cried after that. My conclusion is that U are colicky during ur evenings. I wish it'll go away soon. So painful to hear U cry like this and so angry. Wish I can soothe ur pain or uncomfortableness.

I'm not sure if the colic drops help but sure worth a try....not sure if U stop crying coz of the drops or coz U're simply too tired by then. U were so tired that U slept from 10pm feed till the next morning 5am. And considering U ate at 8pm...that is a whole 9 hours without feed. Is that considered sleeping through the nite? Perhaps it is. Well done Elijah...U did it.
