Grateful

Every day is a new challenging day. No one knows what is going to happen or what will be in front of you the very next second. But I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful gifts that he gives me. I am so blessed. There is nothing else I could ask for when ever I wake upin the morning.

Salon experiences

My 2 older kids love to visit the salon and have their hair cut. Just yesterday I brought them for their monthly trimming. Jay got a new hair style instead of cutting it "botak" most of the times. Jan just trim it square and have her front bang trimmed shorter as she wanted to have longer locks.

How do they look??

Today is mummy's turn to do something to her hair. It has been 6 months since her last hair cut. Now the hair has grown to just slightly below the shoulder. No time to do anything prior to CNY. But who cares? Not into rushing and get herself prettier for cny anyway. *wink*

He is fine

Jamie is recovering from shingles. The rashes are getting better and he is as cheeky as ever.

This morning he is playing his toy. His motor skill is better. Can hold things with firm and loves to grab and hold things. And also putting things into his mouth. His fingers always wet from his sucking. He is able to turn around steadily without assistance.

He can hold his head well but still not strong enough to sit straight for long. This morning I took a nice self portrait of him. Nice or not? 

Shingles in baby

The Chinese called it "Snake Rash".  My baby is having mild rash on his body and face for few days.  It looks rough and dry and his skin is peeling.  After few days, gugu (baby sitter) asked me to bring him see a Chinese sinseh as she suspected Jamie has snake rash.  So true enough, the old man confirmed that Jamie has snake rash, so he was given treatment on the spot. 

First time I see the treatment as none of my family members even had this skin problem.  The old man used matches to kill the "snake".  He lighted up the first match and poke on the lower backbone and then another 2 matches for both ears.  I could hear the "pop" sound when ever the matches near the ears.  The snake should be killed when there was sound popping. 

Hope Jamie will get better now.  Otherwise he kept scratching his face and have red rashes here and there.  

The botak babe

Which one do you like? The hairy baby or the bald one? I go for the hair-less baby as he just look great without hair. Too cute to resist! lol.

How time flies? Now Jamie is a 5-months old babe.

Almost there

Our almost 5-months old baby is trying hard to turn around. So far he only succeed once, which was last month. Now he only able to turn to the side. Soon, he would be able to find a way to turn around and lie on his stomach.

For few nights, he has starting to sleep throughout the night without waking up. So for few nights he slept till 6am something in morning. Yes! Now mummy can have more sleeps. lol.

The CNY collage
