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 :)

Curious Case of Joshton Tan

This morning my hubby n I were casually chatting about how Joshton's features have changed so much and he looks so different from the day he was born. It's hard to tell who he looks like now, but if I look closely at the individual features, I would say his button nose n round face shape are from mummy while his thick eyebrows, long big eyes and thick lips come from daddy.

As a newborn 4 months back, he looked like a "little old man", with wrinkled red skin and balding head. Now he looks more youthful with chubby cheeks and more hair!! ok that confirms it, I will not shave his head!

4 months

3 months

Another baby milestone!

Another baby milestone for little Joshton! He can now flip over on his tummy without any help.

We watched in amazement as he struggles with all his might to turn over, not succeeding initially, getting frustrated but never giving up, and finally accomplish his mission, with lots of encouragement cheers from mummy & daddy!

My darling boy is 4 months old....

Oops, haven't been updating Joshton's blog for quite a while ......my bouncy little darling is 4 months old now! Just brought him to GP for vacination and am proud to announce that he's 7.3kg and 64cm tall, which the doc says he's growing really well as most babies double their birth weight only at 6 months. And his height puts him in the 75 percentile for 4-months old boys, so let's hope he will grow up to be a tall boy (and not a shortie like mummy). He'a really a big bundle to carry now...having a baby is as good as a regular gym workout n building muscles!

As u can see, my darling boy is a little monk without much hair.....so we are deliberating if we should shave his head, since people say that 4 months is a good time to do so and he will grow thicker hair. But he looks really cute now though.....aww can't imagine him totally botak.....so to shave or not to shave??

Gong Gong commented today that Josh will be a chatterbox next time, as he can baby talk all day long. Gong Gong also thinks that he will be a gungfu expert....judging by his power punches n kicks! keke....my super boy :D
