Baby Elric was stuck after flipping over!

It was on the 31 May when I saw Elric facing downward (the flipped over position). I was very surprised he did that as I was looking out of the window that time!

He was however, stuck in that position as he was unable to flip himself back. I helped him out the first time and got my phone ready to record in case he did that again. Sad to say, I was not ready when he flipped himself over the second time but I managed to record a video of him trying to flip back.
My wife, my sis and my mother were "heartbroken" after watching the video,seeing Elric's struggle.

Now I am considering placing cameras at every corner of my house so that I will never miss out on his new stuns! (muhahahahahaha....)

Please do rest assured that in the making of this firm, Elric was never put in any danger, abuse or torture.  :P

I am just trying to see how he could cope with it. There will surely be times like this when he is alone in his cot and has to learn to flip himself back. He was being assisted immediately after the video which last 2:15 minutes.

Lunch gathering with in-laws

Had a family gathering with my in laws on the last week of May to celebrate my FIL's birthday. We had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in Peak Seah Street call the Whole Earth restaurant. They serve paranakan/Thai vegetarian dishes.

Initially they seemed very happy with the food. But once they saw the bill, they said it would be the last time we are going. hahaha... Well, we tried our best.

Here are some photos taken. :)

Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym for baby

Like any other Singaporean Kiasu parents, my wife and I bought the Fisher's Rainforest play gym for our son since he was 1 month old. Not that he could play it yet, we just thought we should get it before we get too busy to shop.

You may find that there are many different brands and types of play gym for the babies.

For us, the decision was simple because both of us quickly fall in love with the Fisher Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym when we saw it online.

Here is how it looks like:

http://www.fisher-price.com
Kaye and I didn't quite like about some play mats/play gyms with colors SOOO bright that it may over stimulate Elric. This rainforest gym on the other hand is colorful but is not overdone.

Look at that friendly-looking giraffe! It seems to be helping you to watch over your little precious. 
Kaye was in love with this eye-catching creature she found so cute. This over-sized giraffe seems to be watching over the baby while it is exploring the surrounding. I wonder if that was the intention of the designer, to give the baby the feeling that someone is watching and taking care of him.

Why is it called a gym? 
Well the play gym includes hanging toys like a soft monkey, a parrot with a spinning paddle, a jingly toucan and Elric's favorite elephant! These colorful hanging objects motivates the baby to reach out and bat them with their the hands.
You will also find some crinkly leaves on the mat which motivates the baby to kick  and exercise the legs to hear the noise made by the leaves.  

The floor quilt has also colorful images of the animals and plants in the rainforest. The baby can flip and turn to observe the surroundings from top to beneath them. :)

You can also choose to turn on the music mode or play the 'sound of nature' (frogs croaking and birds chirping) for your baby to listen to.

hahaha... this is what your baby will see from his angle looking up. 


Size: 20 X 32.5 X 32.5 Inches 


NOW!
See my son enjoy himself!





I definitely believe that he is so happy not only because of the gym but also because Papa is there! Muhahahahahaha... :P




Elric was kicking so happily! 

They say the original price of the product is about S$179 but I always see discounts around. 
So just WATCH OUT FOR THEM! 

Cheers!
