The Case of an Injured Giraffe

As all good stories start...

Once upon a time, there was a giraffe named Sophie. She was a cute and gentle giraffe.

Sophie the Giraffe

Sophie loves babies and would smile and play with them.

Sophie had a good friend, and his name was Elric.

Elric would hug and kiss little Sophie, while Sophie would accompany Elric to play during his wake time everyday.

One day, while Elric was playing with Sophie, some thing bad happened!

As Elric was teething, his gums were swollen and itchy. He couldn't resist himself and gave Sophie a bite!

It hurt Sophie terribly and she gave a loud squeak but Elric couldn't care less and continued chewing on her legs!

Sophie was very cross and gave Elric a kick!

Baby Elric was choked. He vomited all the food he had for lunch. :(

hahahahaaha... I am just trying to tell you how much my son loves his teether, Sophie and Giraffe. It's a trusted product and it does help my son relieve his uncomfort caused by teething. However, do watch your child closely when they are biting the teether. The long legs of Sophie may choke the baby. :)

I miss the Newborn Elric

I told Kaye that I have been missing those days when Elric was first bornt.
He was so fragile looking, so small and sweet looking all the time.
And Gosh! He is only 8 months old and I am missing him as a newborn already!

Not that I dont like him now, I am very happy everytime he learns something new.
I love how he calls for Papa and how he crawls to me and lay beside me.

I just miss that 'little thing' he used to be. :P
He couldn't do anything by himself and had to rely on us all the time.
He wouldn't kick and splash during bathing or diaper changing. 


But to prove that I still love him just as much...

Ohhh.... my Baby Elric!

And Elric loves Papa just as much!

I was so happy when Elric first managed to sit up straight with his hands off the ground!!

And when he finally was able to sit on a high chair by himself. ^^

But I am sure 8 months later, I will tell you that I miss the way he is now.

So I will treasure every moment as I watch him grow. ^^

New Minestone... I mean, Milestone!! ^_^

I love watching Elric cross each of his new minestones...

Opppsss I mean Milestone! hahaha...



Those are minestones too, when he is not careful. :P
Like when Elric tries to crawl and fall face flat! hahahahaha...
I know I sound sadistic but I really laugh at him when he falls. It is so that he thinks it's funny and refrain from crying! ;)

Just a couple of days ago, Elric started to 'stand on his fours'! Like Kaye's mum put it,‘好像小马喔！’ (like a little pony)

:D We were not in time to change the lighting when Elric first did his stunt.

Kaye was so happy, clipping and praising Elric, that he repeated what he did over and over again for her to see. hahaha... go on his fours and fall face flat!

pumping position DOWN!

Mama, See I am good at it. heh heh...

Then we thought he looked like he was doing Yoga!!!!

ooommmm.........

 hahahahahahahahaha........

Papa and Mama had a good laugh, so did Elric! :D




Before I go, hope you had a good National Day Holiday!

World Breastfeeding Week! 1 August to 7 August (By Kaye)

Happy Breastfeeding Week to All Breastfeeding Mummies. :)

Yes. Yes. It's Alp's blog and some of us as Asians feel shy talking about this topic but I really want dedicate a short note to breastfeeding mummies out there.  You ladies are wonderful! Keep it up!

Don't doubt!
1. Breast milk(BM) is superior to forumla milk(FM) and provides anti-bodies that protects your baby from many harmful germs!

2. Breast milk is also easily digested and doesn't stress on your Precious' tummy!

3. It increases your bonding with little ones. :)

4. Recently there is a study which shows that BF kids has less cases of behavioural problems when they grow to 5 years old!

However, I don't believe you are a better or worse Mum just because you chose to/not to breastfeed.No mother deserved to be judged like that, especially when some Mummies have genuine reasons and obligations for their choices.

But if you are breastfeeding, kudos to you because it is a tough path to take when many elders still thinks that FM is better. All thanks to the TV commercials on formula milk.>___<"


If you are a new mum planning to breastfeed, here is a video that has helped me a lot during my initial months of BFing. I hope it will help you as well.

Cheers!
