Can u spot Darius? Dats obvious... He's a lucky boy...in between 2 girls...

how time flies...my little boy is 2 months old today...i thank GOD for keeping him healthy n safe...i pray everyday dat he will grow happily n healthily...

Darius is considered a good baby...since he does nt fuss unnecessarily...oli cries for his needs...but there are still days he jus wants mummy to carry him all day...n its so tiring as he is getting bigger n mummy's slim arms does nt have enuf muscles to carry him all the time...

but i'm glad the baby swing does the trick...n he's been starting to appreciate the lights n music from his baby gym...at least it could keep him entertained for awhile...

sometimes i really "pei fu" my granny n kuku...how did they manage to take care of 4 babies at a time during my baby days...which were at most 1 year of age apart...can u imagine the chaos of 4 babies...?

mama, kuku, i salute u!

today...brought Darius to the community health centre to weigh him...he is 14 lbs 10 oz / 6.62 kgs and 66 cm in length! According to the growth chart for boys...he is considered a big healthy baby! The public health nurse was very friendly n helpful...she checked on Darius n answered many of my paranoid qns...probably due to the cold n dry climate nw, she suggest i apply cream on the dry areas of his pretty face...she's worried he might b having a little eye infection as his eye wax is very greenish...will need to bring up to the doc next week at his 2-mth old regular checkup...She even praised me for a good job taking care of Darius...he looks like a well breast-fed baby...hehe...like my Yi Yi said...all good women are born with motherly instinct...

After dat went to library to borrow books n DVDs n CDs for him...since library card is free for him...hee...since Harry Potter is under the kid's corner...i borrowed for myself to read...there is also babies story telling sessions...sounds fun...

Kinda like the health care here...we pay 44 CAD each mth (per person) n get to see the doc as many times we want...go hospital oso dun need to pay...n there are many free resources from Calgary Health Region...every friday there is a Healthy Family Rep who will visit me at home for an hour...to teach me abt parenting n baby care...on her free days she might even accompany me to bring Darius out for his check ups n immunizations...n also they have a service called Respite where i can request for someone to come to my house n look after baby for up to 3 hrs...so dat i can rest or have some private time to myself...best part is it's free! they also have free day care which i could leave baby there up to 3 days if i have emergency matters to attend...bt no way am i using dat service...i cant even get thru half the day without Darius with me...probably when Darius is 3 mths old i can join the mum's club in my community...know other mums n make frens for Darius...

Recently i received a happy news...Darius is going to have a cousin come July! yeah...! Be it a mickey mouse or minnie mouse...i pray to GOD for a healthy mouse...hopefully nt a glutton mouse...like Darius' yi yi...haha...! Well...with the Whampoa Grand Cook (my granny), i'm sure mummy mouse is in for a great treat! lucky little mouse! Anyway i wish Sean n Ericia a blissful marriage n a healthy mousie! Share ur wedding pics when they r out k? Now i look forward returning to Sin even more...coz i'm an aunt now!
