CNY 2012

2012-01-27T14:21:00.008+08:00

Hubby cameback for the celebration so it's a happy one. As usual did some spring cleaning before the big day and had a reunion dinner. On the first of CNY didn't invite anyone as MIL doesn't like it. She is scared i would sweep the floor or visitor break something (it's bad luck if you break something on the 1st day of CNY, she is so supertitious) . So i just dressed Gabby for his CNY dress and went around shopping mall. Second day and following days we had people coming into the house most of them are hubby's ex-collegues. Hubby gave out angpows to unmarried ones and those married gave angpows to Gabby.

This are the angpow we collected this year. I have quite a few with my son and my hubby is get his from his mother.

This big one is for me :-)

No discipline?

2011-11-25T10:59:00.010+08:00

Gabriel is 14+ months old now, he is so so so active.

While eating in a chinese restaurant, Gabriel as usual in his usual self playing with utensils banging them on the table and throwing them on the floor.

My sister in law asked me is your side of the family like this? I said no, kids in my family are quite. Then why like this, no discipline. Then they discuss themselves maybe i should change daycare or get an elderly people to look after him. I don't think changing caregiver will change him. Can you change personality of a child when he is that young? omg!

So far this what Gabby do

He throw his milk bottle away after he finish drinking his milk/water

He like to throw/drop his toys on the floor when he get boring of them

He go ballistic when he want things and you don't give him

When he really don't want to eat/drink he really meant it, don't force

On weekends he expect to be on the mall/outside or he will be very fussy

At home with me he is so clingy and love to be carried

Sleepless nights again

2011-11-15T11:18:00.002+08:00

The fast few days this little guy always have this interrupted sleep. He is cutting teeth again so bad he is having nappy rash so red from his diarrhea. He got heavy drooling, his gums so read and swollen, always irritable and refusing to take drinks. He always wakes up in the middle of the night or early morning crying. (This making me a zoombie at daytime) All i can do is offer him drinks of milk or water in case he's hungry and comfort him with my magic words and hands. The only thing that upset me when he don't like us to sit down and want me to carry him and dance him back to sleep...Arrrgh

Gabriel with his funny mouth

2011-11-09T13:56:00.002+08:00

he do this when he is so playful..

No crib please mommy

2011-09-08T10:25:00.004+08:00

I leave him upstairs in his crib for about 5minutes while i go downstairs to clean his bottles. He doesnt want to be put in his crib so i leave him crying there anyway when i came back he is sweating profusely and crying until he vomited all his dinner.I got really really angry the whole room become so smelly. While cleaning up his mess he's smiling/grinning at me while he's sitting on the bed..my God like a'lil evil! maybe he wanted to say 'that's what u deserve mommy!'

Before Bersih rally

2011-07-11T11:35:00.006+08:00

Last friday 8th July i was caught in a terrible traffic jam going back to USJ.The screen showing laluan ke arah USJ/Subang sesak teruk sila guna laluan alternatif (road to USJ/Subang is a massive jam, use alternative) how to use alternative? road only going straight, maybe if car can fly that's the alternative la. Ended up reached home 9pm from my usual 6:30pm.

Then Saturday comes another road block! lucky i didn't go anywhere that day.

He can now say a few words, not only he can say ta ta ta, da da da, mam mam and nen nen but he can now mumble things i can't decipher.

He also started to pitch fits and have tantrums. He start throwing toys/things or push them away when he don't like it. He throw himself when he's upset in an effort to get attention.Am really scared when he do this.

He now can stand on his own on the baby cot and can position himself from sitting to crawling position and from crawling to sitting.

He's getting very hard to take care :-( he's so hyperactive.

I went back upstairs then a few minutes later I heard the TV and i wonder why she's up so early. We went downstairs ready to leave then my MIL call me...she can't press the channel on the remote control and asked me to check tried the remote myself left and right buttons not working, too much pressing i guess but upper button is working so i asked her to press there when changing channel.Aiyooo she's so worried can't watch TV today sampai tak tidur!..

he recognizes and responds to his name (daycare Auntie call him Gabriel, but he won't respond to me by calling him that name, i call him on his full name then only he will smile and grins, his granny call him Boyboy..very happy when he heard granny calling him)

He knows how to wave bye bye

Got his 1st tooth 2nd on the way

Trying to pull himself up to sitting position

Just last night he is on all fours and rock himself back and forth

He like to bury his face on pillow or bed (by lying on his stomach and pulling a pillow to cover his head) when refusing to have his milk or meds

He can go around back and forth on a walker

He like to talk to himself sometimes...dadada...tatata..mam mam mam

Still active as ever - the granny says he is like 'cacing' - worm
