like Father, Like son!

9th July 2008 :- Today is the first time i get my haircut at a saloon. Since i was born, daddy & mummy didn't want to shave off my hair bcox they prefer a 'baldless' bb! Haha... okie... so i get to keep my hair, but after a few mths later, all my baby hair started to drop by themselves and after tat, i'd gone quite bald all the same.

Luckily all my hair started to grow back and some had even grown so long. Mummy gave me my first haircut when i was about 5mths old... well, it was oso mummy's first time to cut someone else's hair besides her own fringe, so it wasn't tat perfect.

Tis time bek to Kch, mummy & daddy decided to bring me for a haircut at a saloon. They brought me to Jenne Saloon at Hui Sing Garden. It's the saloon mummy owest goes to and she's more familiar wid the hairstylists there. Moreover, cousin sister Esther oso has her haircut there. When we were there, all the stylists were busy attending to their customers so we waited. When it was our turn, a young guy approached mummy and told her tat it was our turn, and mummy nervously asked if he's going to be the one cutting my hair! Hahaa.... then the guy asked if we haf any prefered stylists and mummy immediately answered "yes"! My mummy doesn't trust young stylist and especially guys, to handle bb's haircut. Why??!!?? Bcox she said, only women who are others mum will be more caring and careful when cutting bb's hair. Only mummies or those who'd taken care of babies before know tat they can't expect a bb to sit really still when getting their haircut.

I was nervous when the pretty auntie cut my hair. She used a shaver to shave the side and back of my head. The shaver was so ticklish and i juz couldn't keep still! Though mummy was holding me in her arms, i was still frantically moving and squirming around. The pretty auntie told mummy tat most of my hair is still baby hair, and i need to cut off those before my hair can grow longer. Okie... so she cut off most of my hair. I was crying and crying. I admit i was making a real fuss, but i was quite nervous. My haircut costs daddy RM8, and daddy said it was even more expensive than his haircut! Haha... but the most funny thing is tat i look so much more like my daddy after my haircut. We had the same hair style, and even daddy couldn't help but keep on laughing once in a while when he turned back and look at me, seated in the backseat while he was driving us back home. All the while mummy owest say i had my daddy's head, and now wid the same hairstyle, i look so much more like Siew Hung Jr. ! Wahahaha.....

proud of my bb!

Jayden's mummy: "

5th July 08 – We came bek to Kuching again on the 3rd. It was an unplanned trip, and definitely out of our budget. Though it did burned a huge hole in our pockets, but hubby’s health is above anything else. As long as he’ll alright, everything else is secondary.

Today baby Jayden made another great achievement. Both daddy & mummy had to go to Kuching Specialist Hosp tat morning and hospitals are definitely not a place for babies. We tot of leaving ah Den back at home wid my mum-in-law, since he’s closest wid her here, but the day before, my mum-in-law hurt her fingers. She had her wound bandaged, and we really don’t want her to haf to carry ah Den around and it’ll juz cause her fingers to bleed some more. In the end we decided to leave ah Den wid ‘nye-ma’ (my mummy) instead. Tat morn, we placed ah Den in Esther’s baby carseat, which I borrowed from my sis the day before. It’s his first time to sit in a baby carseat, and he was chuckling when we buckled him up. He looked so cute sitting there and giggling to himself. I drove to mum’s place tat morn while ah Den’s daddy sat in the back seat. Looking once in awhile to my baby seated beside me while I was driving, I really felt tat my baby is a big boy now. He can seat by himself now, and he was being a good boy not making any fuss while seated there. He enjoyed looking at all the traffic and the view he was getting.

When we reached mum’s place, we quickly carried ah Den inside and I made some milk for him. While he was drinking his milk, both daddy & mummy quickly sneaked out while ‘nye-ma’ looked after him. We were running late for daddy’s appointment at the hospital, and I really hope my baby will be fine under the care of his other grandma tis morn.
At the hospital while waiting for hubby, I kept on calling bek home to check on my baby. My sis told me tat ah Den’s fine, and he was playing wid them. Wat a relief when I heard tat. After a while, I called bek again. I juz couldn’t help feeling so worried about my baby. Sis told me tat they are planning to go out and bringing ah Den along for a car ride. Sounds like Jayden was doing fine and I heaved another sigh of relief. Some time later, I called bek again (My mind was so troubled tat I lost track of time) to check on my bb. Tis time mum answered and told me tat they were still in the car but on their way bek home. Jayden fell asleep in the car and was sleeping soundly in her arms at tat time. Okie… another sigh of relief from me when I heard tat.

When hubby’s checkup was done, we quickly go to haf our breakfast. It was already almost noon, and I felt like I hadn’t seen my baby for such a long time. =)) After breakfast at Foody Goody, we walked over to Sweet Babies to buy a baby gift hamper for hubby’s fren’s newborn. There, my sis called me. I asked her how is Jayden doing, and she said he was fine. My mum had helped to bathe him, and now he was playing wid them. I felt so relief tat my baby was being such a good boy. Really felt so proud of him. When we reached mum’s place to pick up Jayden, he was all smiling when ‘nye-ma’ carried him in her arms and when he saw us. He didn’t cry but instead kept on smiling at daddy & mummy as if greeting us. I really felt so proud of my little baby… ah Den is really growing up now. I really hope I can train my baby to be more familiar wid his relatives, and not too clingy to daddy & mummy. We had such little time spent wid our families here in Kuching, I really hope he can develop close bonding wid them whenever we haf the chance. "

finally CRAWLiNG???

Jayden's mummy: "

1st July 08 – My 9m+ baby is finally learning to cruise around by crawling…. or is tat considered as crawling, I’m wondering. Last 2 days I noticed tat ah Den can moved a few inches in front of him by kicking his feet and pulling himself forward wid his little arms. He was trying to grab hold of any object in front of him within his reach. When I placed him in a sitting position between my thighs, he’ll slowly lower himself on the mattress by placing his arms slightly further away from his body in front of him. Then he’ll make himself fall gently on the mattress and ‘thud’ he’ll be laying on his tummy and face!

After tat he’ll start to grab at the bedsheet covering our mattress wid both his hands and he’ll pull at it real hard while kicking his legs to make himself move forward. He looks as if he’s swimming! Whenever he’s near the edge of the mattress, tat’s even better. He’ll juz grabbed and hangs on to the edge of the mattress, and since it’s a firmer hold than juz a piece of cloth; he can pulled himself forward much further. Soon half his body was oledi out of the mattress! Way to go my little baby!!! 'Jia you, jia you!' "

bek to KCH again!

Jayden's mummy: "
19th June 08 – Coming back to Kuching this time, my little baby had shown some improvements. He’s more familiar wid his Kch home and oso closer to his grandparents now, especially wid his grandma. Seeing him being able to adapt to the different ‘home’ and lifestyle here, I really felt tat my baby is growing up.

On tat Saturday noon, I’d promised to go to a supposed-facial session wid my sister. I had hesitated to go at first, wondering if ah Den would be okie without me here in grandpa’s house. My hubby insisted me to go and willingly offered to baby sit ah Den.

However, at the very last minute, he’d to go to settle some stuff and he told me to leave ah Den wid his mum if I really had to go out before he’s bek. It was oledi past 1pm and our appointment was timed at 2pm. After I bathed and fed ah Den, I told my mum-in-law tat I really had to go out then cox I was running late. My mum-in-law carried ah Den in her arms and brought him outside to wave goodbye at me. I was so worried tat he’ll cry if he saw me driving away so I told my in-law to carry him inside and not let him see tat I was going out. But my mum-in-law insisted tat it was okie and asked ah Den to wave goodbye at me. Luckily when I drove away, ah Den juz stared surprisingly at me. (Maybe he had never seen me drive before.. haha)

When I reached my mum’s place to pick up my sis, I quickly grabbed my handphone to call hubby. He said he had reached home and ah Den was doing fine. He was playing wid his grandparents and moving around in his walker. =)) I felt so relieved. It was a big step for me, leaving my baby behind in the care of others and to go out to pamper myself. ;)) It was a big achievement for me as well as for Jayden. I guess it’s time tat I start to do tis more often and not to let myself being tied down tat much wid my baby. Although I din get to do my facial tat Sat afternoon cox my sis messed up wid the appointment, I felt happy all the same to being able to take the first step out and to learn to ease my grasp on my baby a little.
