Total refusal of bottle feeding + Milk

Kyan's appetite for milk has plunged down to its worst again.

All of us are feeling hopeless. Its back to cries and struggles of refusing to be fed...even spoon feeding seems to be a really difficult task now. Milk is just one of the problem. He is not enthusiastic about solids either. Have to entertain and play with him in an attempt to try feeding him. One person is tough. It takes two or more to feed him. He totally refused bottle already.

I see another two bottom teeth forcing their way through the gums. These two must be the culprits. On saturday night, he woke up at a freaking one hour interval causing his mummy and daddy to do the same...

We are feeling helpless and stressed. Heeeelllllppp!

Mummy is suffering from eyebags...terrible ugly eyebags...sobz.

The typical scenes...

Chinese New Year (Tiger year) is approaching very soon too and this will be the first year Kyan undertakes a new job. He will help collect ang baos so his parents can at least recoup some losses from the massive economic crisis which always hits when CNY comes.

HAHA.

Being a big boy now, he is more interactive and displays his emotions more readily, albeit still naughty of course.

There are a couple of times when you don't know how amazing and smart kids can be.

Episode1

Little prince loves to throw things onto the floor, perhaps getting the kick of seeing people bending down on their fours to pick them up. He tests our limits to see how long this can go on, as he continues with this action. Finally we got put off and decide to keep the toy away. Little prince will look at us and realises its not fun anymore, and eventually he leaves the scene in his walker.

Episode2

Little prince throws a toy down while the we feed him food or milk as he is seated in his walker. After picking it up, he throws another toy down....and another....and another....sometimes to the point he starts sweeping everything off his walker top. So we decided not to put any toys in front of him. Little prince then sees a box containing the rest of the toys on the table next to him and decide to pull the whole box towards him. If we never "save" the box on time it will topple onto the floor.

Episode3
Fed him milk and food while he's in his walker. Eventually he jumps up and down his seat throwing a tantrum when he realises his patience waning.

Episode4

Little prince can say "Um", "M" and "Maaaaaaa" now. He loves to go to the kitchen and see the lighted stove fire. When he wants biscuits which are placed on the kitchen surface, he goes "erm""erm" in a forceful attempt to ask whoever is carrying him to go towards that direction. When he wants to go out, he knows where the keys are and want to take them himself or else want someone to take the keys for him.

Boy boy will turn one year old this year! Very fast he'll be walking, running and hopping around!

Daddy and Mummy are busy with the house renovation. Very soon i'll have a new house to stay and i have my own room! *Happy*

Celebrations to welcome 2010

Some postdated photos of the CNY celebration. Location: TCC at Plaza Sing. Date: 2Jan10. Just a humble meetup with my bffs, their other 1/2 (exception of shawn) and their kiddos..plus kyan's buddies, stephy and nigel.

This is actually one of my favourite pixs. Don't Nigel and Kyan look like they are in some serious discussion? Subject of negotiation: nigel's toy


My little prince is not giving up in asking nigel to lend him the toy...but nigel apparently is more willing to lend the toy to his gf instead :P


Kyan is finally thinking he won't ever borrow the toy and decides to stare at others instead, thinking..."what should i do now?"





Looking fierce *roar*


Look at all the nice food on the table~!






The next day was nai nai's birthday celebration at Chinatown "Yan Ge" restaurant...


Cousins lookalike?

I could stand up...HIGH...high....HIGH

Another milestone.

Kyan managed to pull himself up and stand up a very long time now with support, clinging onto the edge of the playpen. He could also walked for a short distance with that support. Well done boy.



He got four grown out teeth on the top, two at the middle bottom. The tooth by the edge is starting to pop up too.

I gave him a biscuit to chew on Sunday. His expression was so cute after biting off a part of the biscuit. He would start smiling very happily as though a goal was achieved. I would compliment and say....oh so clever boy!

Soon he'll be one year old. Very fast. Sometimes i just feel its so scary to have time flying past just like that. Memories really have to be captured if not, all is lost forever.

First Merry x'Mas!

Wishing U the very first merry x'mas Mister Kyan! Hehe...

We spent the day at my 4th aunt's place (as usual every x'mas day)...had a hella great time at the bowling centre@Chevrons. However, i had to feed Kyan there so i missed out on the first game. He didn't want to drink milk and i was struggling to feed him there alone. Even the receptionist at the counter also can see. Kyan was enticed to the decorated christmas tree just beside the counter, and kept wanting to go there. I think he really loves the lights. Too bad Orchard Road would be very crowded and it was not advisable to bring him there.

On the second game, i threw the role of babysitting to my sister since she doesn't want to play bowling. Haha. Thank goodness to the Ergo carrier that lil prince eventually managed to fall asleep in the carrier.

Whats so interesting up there??


My grandaunt carrying me....i'm a doctor don't play play! (a sian one that is)


Mummy's team won the bowling competition!
Kyan was still manageable at the bowling centre, just that when we reached my aunt's place, he created problems again.
Don't want to eat, cannot sleep, make a fuss and cry.

Argh. Babies.
Stress. Everyone says my face displays so.
Yes i can't admit i'm not. Being a mum is really not easy.

Moomoomoo gone....frustration with milk bottes

I know i am saying it for the second time but this time is real...

Today marks the end of my moo-moo career.

Yes totally. STOPPED. No more days of pumping, no more waking up earlier to pump, no more washing of pump, no more lugging the heavy FTG bag to and fro...basically no more.

Kyan will be on full FM from now. The first time i said it, i still continued as kyan had feeding problems and Dr Teoh advised me not to quit.

This time, i was determined to give up as i realised maybe it just wasn't worth the effort given the fact that kyan doesn't seem to appreciate milk (even though this problem started way before) and he is on three solid meals now, so other forms of food would have compensated for his nutritional needs. Besides i could think i need more time for other things which would require my attention. House renovation, spending more time with kyan and taking care of him besides pumping and a load of other things...

Nine months along the breastfeeding route seems not too long, yet not too short either. However, given my target was eight months, this would seem an achieved goal.

Kyan is totally refusing bottles! We have to feed the whole bottle of 190ml milk by SPOON...

Whats wrong? Sighz.

So u see, other things requiring more attention than just pumping alone.
And....guilty so to speak, i'm enjoying the convenience of not pumping anymore...and able to sleep later! yippie!

Well....on to other things...

He tried something new this morning....apples and dates oats cereal with milk. Yesterday i made cheesy pasta stars and he took it.
I'm glad as he totally refused my pasta stars with carrot the other day, probably cos it tasted "tasteless"...well basically carrots alone didn't do the job well.

This time i specially cooked the sauce to stir with the pasta stars. And little boy needs more liquids now since he's on full FM.

Little boy is on full fledged chewing as his four upper teeth has grown. There are two lower ones in the middle and the side teeth are cutting their way out now.

Is that why he is totally refusing bottles now?

Haiz, i wish he could tell mummy what actually went wrong.

P/s. Mummy seems to be getting sick again...her flu is reporting. She keeps sneezing.
Please don't fall sick! *crosses fingers*

House reno is going to start sooner as we have change the key collection date to 6Jan, which is coincidentally our customary wedding anniversary =)

At Eight Months....

This is the most recent ME!! I love this pair of jeans! and so does mummy cos she bought it for me =D







Finally uploaded the photos. Phew.
Now mummy feels she is short of a family photo. Where did it go to?
