ME, MYSELF and MY PRAM


They start young these days ... going to the showroom and picking out their favourite four wheeler.
It took us three outings and two fittings to pick out this gorgeous pram - once without the baby ... and then we realised that we neede to size him in the pram ... then the next round with the baby ... but the pram was out of stock and finally ... the day of the purchase !!


Asher took to his pram like bees to honey :) ... cushion comfort all the way ... with a protable fan (with lights) included!!

Just to give you an idea of how comfortable he is ... he has agreed to pose for a photoshoot ... aka mother frantically snapping away, during an evening stroll in the park *wink*

Day Out


A photo opportunity for the family ... ToysRUs :)

At this age and size, Asher is extremelly portable. And i must say, he is such an obliging baby ... it is almost like he knows when he should be good and when he can throw a fit. When he is outside, he is usually on his best behaviour ... not to imply that he is monster at home ... but he is, at this point in time, very easy to lug around.
And it is helps that he is such a cuite ... hee hee :) A good conversation starter ... with aunties at the hawker centre, sales girls in the shopping mall, neighbours in the lift and the uncle sitting beside you on the bus.
Let's hope that the cute-ness does not wear out anytime soon ... hee hee :)

Turn Turn Turn

Another milestone in the growing up months of Asher Toy ... my baby can turn !!
Such a bif achivement ... just at all of 3.5 months !!

Just over the weekend, we were yanking his arm, probing his stomach, lifting his legs ... all in the name of giving him a helping hand, to get him to turn. And yesterday, when we went to pick him up from my parents' place, the first greeting that came was "Asher can turn !! Look Look ... he can turn all by himself !!"

Never imagined that watching my baby turn from his back onto his stomach and back again could bring such joy and such excitement!!

Here is a sneak peek at this milestone ... (pardon the quality of the video though ... )



But can't help feeling though, that i missed out on a little, not being there to witness this massive feat first hand.

Good job baby ... i am proud of you :)

Baby Gym

Things just seem to happen overnight. Yesterday, he was still only staring at the toys hanging above on the baby gym, today, he is swiping and tugging on them with his little hands.

How fast they learn ...
And his favourite item seems to be the trophy ... possibly cos it has a plastic mirror on the bottom for his to stare with such fascination at his own image .... or perhaps, he is that little champion in my heart ...

Everyday, he is learning something ... everyday, something changes ... You are such a joy to watch Asher ... I love You.

Zzzzzz ...

Sleep for some, is such a precious commodity, but for some, it is what they do all day ...

We hear horror stories from friends of other friends whose babies wake up every 2-3 hours through the night, even at three, four months. Imagine that ... going to bed at 11pm, awake at 2am, back to bed at 3am, and awake again at 5am and before you can get back to bed, it is time to wake up for work ... ARGH !!! And you know what happens when the lack of sleep hits ... it drives you looney !!!

But we thank God, that Asher is a good sleeper - he was sleeping through the night, even at 2 monts or so ... Trust me! that five to six hours of good deep sleep really helps. Not to say that it is enough ... i miss those days of sleeping in, on weekends, without having to wake up in between for feeds and to sanitise bottles .... but it really helps.


The little fellow can sleep !! ... it does not matter when, where or with who ... when it is time to knock out ... it is time to knock out !!!

Oh yes ... sleep is such a precious commodity.
