Cooking for little Andrew

I have been experimenting with cooking for little Andrew. I don't think I'm graduating to be a good cook, but I am definitely still learning. I mix and match the vegetables, and most of the time it's steam. I guess as little Andrew grows, I will have more method of cooking. And I am definitely evolving and changing and hopefully improving!

All these prepared with love and most of the time little Andrew will clean up everything. But these 2 nights, he hasn't been finishing up his dinner and it's mostly half portion. I'm not worried about my cooking but more of him not feeling well. He got sick after retuning from our Japan holiday :( I blame my itchy fingers for spraying the saline!!!! Hope my little darling will get well soon.

This is becoming a habit...

2 times this week, little Andrew was super duper whooper sleepy during his meal time. I'm hoping this will not become a trend and that it's just the flu meds that's making him sleepy and moody. 

He is also back to his habit of chewing/biting/gnawing everything!!!! I don't think the second set of molar is coming yet, because I don't see any whitish gum. Maybe he's just now feeling well. Oh ya, I'm gonna blame everything to the flu. 

He got the flu after we returns from Japan. It was cold in Japan and he didn't even get a whiff and upon returning... the flu just appear out of no where! Well, not really... I sprayed the saline to clear his nose and suddenly, everything just flow out!!!! Sigh. I blamed my itchy finger!

I hope little Andrew will get well soon and be his best again.

My baby walks...

Little Andrew started walking in time for our Japan holiday which is great. This lets him enjoy more than just sitting in the stroller I guess. He gets to walk around the here and there, and mostly in the hotel room!!!

Lesson learnt, always bring more warm clothings for the baby!!!! And don't save on good moisturiser for the baby! Little Andrew skin is super dry and it's getting reddish and itchy, poor baby can't help scratching himself even when he sleeps.

I'm glad my family took the trip. It's a special bonding time for my parents especially to spend time with little Andrew. I would like little Andrew to grow up loving his grandparents as much as I love them.

Traveling with the baby

We decided last year that we will go Japan with the baby in tow, of course with my family along so there will be more people to help keep watch on the baby :) This is our first time self-guided traveling in a foreign country (Singapore doesn't count). It has been quite an adventure so far and it is definitely not the same anymore.

We used to be able to "go further" by stretching ourselves, but not with the baby. We tried our best to accommodate little Andrew, not too worried about his sleep since he has been so good in sleeping in the stroller. It's more of where and what to eat. We adult may not be hungry or can wait a bit longer but not the baby! Hungry baby is a grumpy baby!

Yesterday, unexpectedly, Andrew wet himself so many times due to overflow diaper! I had to buy a set of new clothes for him from Uniqlo! What a day it had been.

And then this morning, as we departed from Osaka to Kyoto, the train door just slammed shut right at my face! Luckily hubs and my parents are with him. If baby is alone with my parents, I would have been a lot more panic!! And thank goodness that the frequency of the train is 15minutes apart!

So far, baby has been a charm :)

My baby can walk!

Ah, my baby can finally really walk. Little Andrew wasn't really into walking until recently. I think he was afraid of falling and feeling the pain. Now that he is more confident, he is always on the move. And is showing dislike being in the stroller too!

There is still room for improvement but little Andrew is definitely walking - before turning 17 months old.
