Joshton's first word is "Ma"!!

Omigosh....Mummy's very happy cos the first word Joshton has uttered is "Ma"! I don't think that he knows what that means yet, cos he says that only when he's crying out for attention....he will go "mmmmm...mmmmm....ma"..."mmmm.....mmmmm....ma". So mummy has won the race against daddy, who has been trying hard to get Joshton to say "Pa Pa"...yay yay.

First tooth!

For the past few weeks, Joshton has been chewing on anything he can lay his hands on.....a clear sign that he's teething. We can now see white tips peeking out at his bottom gum. He would even nibble on my clothes when I am carrying him, so I always end up with a big wet patch of saliva on my sleeves. He has also been irritable and fussy recently, which is quite normal for teething babies. I'm a bit worried that he will bite when I'm nursing him! So far he's been a good boy :)

Please help Thien Nhan...

If you read the Sunday Times Life comics section, you probably would have saw the appeal by Lee Chee Chew, the creator of "Chew On It" to help a Vietnamese toddler, Thien Nhan, who was abandoned at birth and left to die....the poor boy was mauled by a dog which bit off his right leg, testicles and penis. He was adopted by a Vietnamese family in Hanoi, and is now seeking sponsors to help pay for his medical care, rehabilitation and education.

On behalf of Joshton, we made a small donation to help little Thien Nhan. All frens out there, do check out this blogspot if you would like make a difference to Thien Nhan's life. Thanks!! :)

What a mess!

We started Joshton on rice cereal to supplement his milk feeds...and things can get pretty messy! The good thing is that he does not reject his food and impatiently demands to be fed, but after a while he gets a bit frustrated at not being able to satisfy his hunger as quickly as drinking milk from the bottle. Guess we can expect more messy times ahead as we start feeding him more semi-solids .....time to stock up on bibs!

New baby photos....

Joshton's first swimming lesson

Brought our 5-month old little Joshton for his first swim at Hwa Xia at Harbour Front. He's like a natural born swimmer and enjoyed splashing away in the small tub. All was peaceful and fun, with mummy n daddy busy snapping shots of him, until the baby in the next tub starting wailing loudly non-stop. And so poor Joshton started crying too and brought a quick end to his first swimming session. Enjoy the short video of Joshton's first splash :)
