Jaron Baby

Jaron learns to walk

2009-04-07T07:21:00.000-07:00

Jaron has since last month been learning to walk. Now he can walk longer without support and getting more stable. However, he hurt himself more often now, since he keeps practicing. He had outgrown his first pair of bubblegummer shoes(size 6 for baby) and we got him the 2nd pair(size 6 for toddler). We took him to Starbucks and Spring for him to walk around. He was so excited, walking round and round pillars and simply walking non-stop.

Jaron's 1st birthday celebration

2009-01-15T16:13:00.001-08:00

His birthday is coming up this Sunday. We already booked a restaurant to celebrate with family and relatives. He had grown so much since the last post. My mum gave him a nice haircut yesterday. Now he has 3 teeth on top and 4 below. He takes about 5 oz of milk every 3 hours. He likes to climb the stairs especially when nobody is looking. As he climb he will shout "Ark ark!" or "Lau Teng"(upstairs in Hokkien). He can call Papa, Mama(mum) & Mama(grandma). At times, he can call his own name but it sound more like "aa-nen". Whenever he wants to eat he'll say "mum-mum" & when he wants milk, he calls out "neng-neng". I think he is learning to talk faster than he learns to walk. Right now, he can stand when he hold on to something (tables, chairs etc). We bought him a pair of size 6 Bubbergummer shoes at Bata. He hates it. Keeps on pushing and throwing it away. Its hard to put on the shoes for him.

I have this wallpaper on my pc since last month. The cartoon character on the left is actually drawn by me more than 10 years ago. I think it look so much like Jaron. Its based on a Japanese comic about a baby but I can't remember the name. If any of you know, please tell me.

Update

2008-10-07T18:22:00.000-07:00

I've been so busy I neglected this blog. Jaron hasn't grown much in the last few months. He still take 3 oz of milk (have not increase since 3 month old). Now he is very active. He used to be able to sit still in the car seat. Now he hate the car seat and prefer I hold him. But that is no easy task as he needs to be entertained throughout the journey. He has 4 teeth now. The bottom 2 was since 7 mth old and the top 2 jus started to grow a month ago. He would grind his teeth occasionally. He is now eating porridge twice a day. He still have some skin problem. Always scratching his head because of the itch.

Jaron's 4th month

2008-06-05T00:31:00.000-07:00

I haven't updated for so long. :P Jaron has grown quite a lot since. He is now 9kg+ but still drink about 3 to 4 oz of milk. After the 3rd mth, he had learned to turn over when lying flat on the bed. He prefers to sit & stand rather than just lie around. But of course he can't sit & stand on his own yet. He likes to scream & laugh when he's in a good mood.

Jaron Playtime

2008-04-02T17:36:00.000-07:00

During the day time, he won't sleep much but when he's in a good mood, he wants to play and smile a lot. However, if we leave him alone, he will start to shout or cry. He is also quite happy when he's watching tv.

Jaron's Full Moon

We had a celebration for Jaron's full moon on 17th Feb 2008. We had it at home for close friends and relatives. Jaron was especially quiet and slept through the whole the night. This is how he looks like now. I think that cartoon on his shirt looks like him. :)

Who's the BOSS?

2008-02-15T21:02:00.000-08:00

This little baby will not let us rest. Its hard work to make sure his needs are met. Even after having his milk, he won't go to sleep. We had to sing, carry him around or rock him to sleep.

Feeding time!

2008-02-03T00:30:00.000-08:00

We're feeding Jaron with Mamex Gold from Dumex. And he needs to be fed every 2 hrs (more or less). He'll scream for his milk everytime. This little baby has got no patience.

Making faces

2008-02-01T23:03:00.001-08:00

I just love watching him especially when he sleeps. He kept me entertained because even as he sleeps he'll be making faces. 2 weeks had passed by. Its a joy to watch him grow.

Jaron's 1st Week

2008-01-28T22:02:00.000-08:00

Jaron from 19 to 24 Jan. Getting bigger everyday...

Jaron arrived!

2008-01-27T22:56:00.000-08:00

Our baby arrived on 18th January 2008, 10.50am at Normah Medical Specialist Centre. It was a very long & tiring labour. I was admitted around 7pm on 17th January 2008. The whole night I was in pain and could not relax or rest. I had epidural injections around 7am the next morning because the pain was unbearable. Jaron was safely delivered by natural birth. He came out crying but immediately stopped when the nurse wrapped him up with a towel. When Tan called out his name, Jaron looked up and he took this photo. Here's his first photo in the delivery room.I stayed another night at the ward. The lower half of my body still numb till the next morning. At least I get to have a good sleep that night. Jaron slept in another room and taken care by the doc & nurse.

Premature Contraction

2007-11-26T23:00:00.000-08:00

I had tummy cramp on the right side of the tummy during the night of 25 Nov 07. The cramp started to get really painful from 10pm continue till after midnight. And the baby keep tossing and kicking really hard throughout the pain. By midnight, it had become unbearable because Im not able to rest or sleep. Therefore, I had to go to the hospital to check up. During the check up, the doctor thinks that I'm having premature contraction. They recorded contaction occuring 20 minutes apart. I was given a Betnasol injection around 2.30am after was told to wait for another similar injection by 2.30pm. Betnesol = betamethasone, which is a steroid injection which is normally given to mothers where there is a significant risk that their baby will be born preterm and sufficiently mature to have a chance of survival. This will help the baby's lung mature.The injection was extremely painful and my whole right hand could not move. Later I was sent to the maternity ward on a wheelchair. I did not bring anything with me since I was not prepared to stay overnight. Im glad my parents-in-laws were able to bring some of the necessity like food & drink. I wish my husband was with me but he had gone to Singapore for training early that morning. I really dreaded staying in the ward, with 20 over patients and lots of crying babies. Needless to say, it was a sleepless and restless night. I had my eyes on the clock all the time and 1 minute seems to last forever. The pain stopped in the morning around 6am and I can't wait to go home. The nurses & doctors would stop by from time to time to ask about the pain. They will also check my pulse and the babies heartbeat. The day dragged on and I couldn't sleep although I was extremely tired. I was finally given the second injection at 2.30pm. This time is seems even more painful that the first. The doctors decided to discharge me since tummy pain did not occur the whole day. However, I was told to wait for a Urine test report. Once again, I watched the clock and waited to be discharged. Nobody came with the good news. I became restless. I kept asking around but nobody seems to know when the doctor will come over with the report. Its not until 5.30pm that I ask a nurse at a counter regarding the discharge. It so happen that the counter is a discharge counter but there's no signage that say so! I was really irritated since my report was out & I could have left by 3pm. I felt as though I've been imprisoned in the ward for days. Going home was so blissful & I slept like a baby right after dinner.

Baby Dolls

2007-11-07T21:47:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love these cute dolls. They are so realistic. Each baby boy or girl is anatomically correct and has beautiful almond-shaped eyes, realistic fingers and toes, a soft baby powder scent, and comes wearing a diaper. I found them on this site.

Baby Gender Prediction

2007-11-07T16:46:00.001-08:00

I just found out about this. Tried it out myself and it seems to work. :) Well, here's how. Tie a thin string of about 10cm to your wedding ring. Hold the string with the ring over your belly button. Actually, it's better if you let someone else hold it because you may unconsciously move it according to what you want. When its a girl, the ring will move in circle. When its a boy, the ring will move in straight line. However, you may get confused when it starts with straight line but eventually may appear to be circular. The fact is when it moves in straight line, it may change directions and when it does, it looks as if its circular. Just hold it long enough to figure it out. Another thing you can do is check your own gender(just to be sure this thing works). Hold it above your chest and you'll see that it moves in circle. Try it over your husband's chest and it'll move in straight line. But when you place it over his belly, nothing happens because you won't get a reaction there if you're not pregnant. Its kinda fun. Try it!

Baby Blues comics

2007-11-07T16:41:00.000-08:00

I'm such a big fan of comics. The part that I will never miss in the newspapers. Recently I like Baby Blues more than the others. Its potrays parenthood in such a realistic way. Now I can read all the comics online starting from year 1996 till 2007.

Baby kick

2007-10-20T04:32:00.000-07:00

I can feel Jaron kick everyday now and its getting more frequent and stronger than before. Normally he'll kick during lunch or dinner time. And most frequently when I'm trying to sleep. I found this video of a baby kicking and it looks so cute. This is how babies communicate when they are in the womb.

Baby products

2007-10-04T01:39:00.001-07:00

I'm gonna take my time to shop for baby stuffs. Firstly, my hubby bought the Avent Newborn Starter Set from Jaya Jusco in KL which cost about RM120. Then we bought the Elego playard from Anakku in Kuching for RM199.90.

Photos of Jaron

2007-10-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

Now this is his very first photo taken on 29 May 07. Look like a black dot.

2nd photo taken on 13 June 07. Now you can see the tiny body shape. 3rd photo taken on 11 July 07. You can finally see the shape of a baby. The head is on the left.
4th photo taken on 6 Sept 07. The space is getting too small for him so he has to curl up. The head is on the right.

Its always exciting looking at the ultrasound scan. From the screen, I can see the movement & hear the heartbeat. Its very reassuring and I look forward to the scan during the monthly check up.
