Today, 16 Nov 2009, marks Denson's first day in school.. new aunties to take care of his needs, fellow babies around to laugh and cry together with him..

Daddy and Mummy hope that Denson can adapt quickly to the new environment, the trip to school will be a shorter one after we shift to Punggol.. till then, be good.

Denson's a big baby now~

Denson is making remarkable progress...

Denson, grow up strong n healthy so that u can adapt to school life easily k.. mummy n daddy looking forward to the 1st holiday w u too.. ur little playroom by mid dec and bunkin in w mummy n daddy on the big bed..

mummy got so worried abt u when u start to refuse milk.. from the 5feedings a day drop to 4feedings and sometimes u dont even finish everything.. mummy got so worried, thank goodness this is only a passing phase.. to all future mummies n daddies, this is normal.. some babies will go on milk strike during 3mths-4.5mths.. our dear denson only lasted his strike for less than 10days.. he is takin milk again.. tink on growing spurt liao..

During this milk strike days, mummy tried so many 'patterns' w denson.. changed place for feedings dun help.. once sat down, placed on hanky, knew tat it is milk time, start wailing liao.. so smart.. mummy so happy cos it show how smart little denson is.. so mummy tried more patterns.. let denson lie on mummy's thigh to drink milk.. so is denson dont wan mummy to be too tired by carrying him for 15mins while drinkin.. how sweet this little boi is..

startin to like to sit up ler.. mummy oso realise how much denson likes to watch e TV just like daddy.. denson likes news reporting.. grandma says cos lil denson likes someone to tok to him.. haha.. but denson oredi like news since in tummy.. daddy says no more than 30mins of tv watchin a day~ ok, daddy~


















daddy n mummy oso noticed denson's interest in holding his own bottle.. several times, he will push daddy's hands away but he cant control his own hand yet so daddy still got to hold for u.. mummy on the other hand train denson by lettin him hold mummy's thumb n little finger just like holdin the training cup.. then one day, daddy captured a pix of denson holdin his own bottle for secs.. how can mummy n daddy not love this little cutie..





















mummy see how much u like attention too.. always screaming to catch mummy's attention.. ur lovely voice n laughter that mummy n daddy loves to hear everyday.. lil talkative, ee ee orr orr everyday.. mummy n daddy just love the way u try to make conversation w us..

mummy hopes denson can learn this too.. birthday though is a day u are showered w gifts fr others to wish u n give u blessings, it is oso a day mummy had gone through so much to bring u into this world..

growing up~

Denson has been growing well till few weeks ago, he seem to have slim down abit.. is all mummy's faults.. Denson was once on 140ml till he kip puking after every feed.. so mummy tot maybe daddy n mummy has overfed him so we reduce to 130ml.. he is taking so well that we tot tat's the right formula.. after weeks later, mummy still dare not give more till lots of aunties saying their babies drinkin way more than Denson.. mummy got abit worried but for 2months n above, the guideline is 120ml-160ml.. so mummy tot maybe Denson just on the lower side..

on the other hand, mummy n daddy noticed Denson is always not full after feeding.. but he wun cry for more, he only stick out his tongue in n out.. after daddy came back from Uncle Billy's wedding, Uncle eugene's son whom is almost 2 weeks younger than Denson is oredi drinkin 160ml.. so mummy n daddy decided to increase Denson's feeding again.. from last sun till now, denson has been taking 150ml-160ml consistently..

sad to say, bcos of mummy's worry tat Denson has been puking too much after feed, n the under-feeding has caused Denson to lose 200g over 10days.. instead of putting, he lost weight.. mummy is so sad... Denson's michelin arms is oso significantly slimmer than before..

but Denson has been a good boi.. Denson dont fuss even he didnt get enuff milk.. he went along w mummy n daddy as long as mummy n daddy feeds him.. poor baby~

few days ago, mummy suddenly noticed Denson grew a small mole on his right cheek near the dimple area.. oh it looks simply cute.. adds alittle feature to the little chubby face.. grandma says is okie for a boi boi.. it didnt bother mummy actually, in fact mummy loves the mole.. she always tink it is so adorable to have mole on the face but not too many..

finally mummy n daddy collected the pressie for Denson.. for the nice soft hair denson has shaved off, mummy n daddy made into this meaningful pressie for Denson.. calligraphy brush and w Denson’s umbilical stump, mummy and daddy make it into a seal for him.. wen we move into our new home, Daddy n mummy will take it out to display.. explain to denson wat is it for…

Ohhs.. as mummy typing right now, Denson is moving his arms n legs looking at the bright window.. wen mummy looks at Denson, denson gave a smile and immediately melts mummy’s heart~ ahhhhzzz~~

Punggol : Our Home

Dear Denson,

Still you were mostly asleep during our visit today, daddy and mummy have saved so

me shots for you to mark 20.10.2009 as our home ownership!

Denson at 2mths 2weeks and 5days

mummy has been busy taking a good look at Denson everyday that she has no time to blog about Denson's growing up.. haha.. mummy scare that she will forget the days how Denson looks like when she is looking after him.. so everyday even though Denson is cranky, mummy will be very patient to coax him and pacify him..

Mummy is more able to comprehen wat Denson wants thru his actions and cries..

The first few weeks when Mummy was looking after Denson on her own, she is so stressed up cos everyone thinks that Mummy cant do a good job and everyone wants to poke their nose in.. living everyday on a 3hr window isnt fun.. is a challenge to get things done within the 3hrs when many people like to peep into our room to see how Denson is.. Mummy got abit paranoid by these actions.. even till now...

at first, mummy can only feed Denson whenever he cries.. when time is not up, n Denson is crying mummy gets fedup.. Once, Denson cry so much that Mummy cant calm him down.. once mummy put him down, he start cryin again.. mummy got so fedup that mummy shouted at Denson. mummy noes Denson wun understand abit but mummy needs to let out.. mummy gav a slap on Denson's cheeks but felt so guilty after tat.. poor bao bei~

from then on, mummy told herself she needs to hav patience for Denson.. Denson duno anything he can only cry.. he needs lots of caring and love to grow up properly.. since then, Denson is the TOP priority on mummy's mind.. Denson comes FIRST regardless of anything..

mummy always hear the old folks say dun carry baby too much when he is young otherwise he will wan to carry every now n then.. i must say THIS IS VERY WRONG!!! mummy heed their advise and went into the super wrong path.. which ended mummy gav Denson the slap on e cheeks... now no matter wat mummy is doin, if denson wails, mummy will coax him and pick him up for a good comfort hug till he settles down.. n he is so much more cooperative w mummy now.. he enjoys hearing mummy's pumping session cos he noes that wen he got milk to drink.. he no longer fuss when he cant see mummy cos he noes mummy must b busy w something otherwise she will be beside him taking an extra look at him..

a great learning journey w Denson through these mths n days.. on 16 nov, Denson will be going school.. mummy bot Denson a school bag.. hope that Denson will be able to take the change well...

Dear Denson,

Though you might not really understand this now, but Daddy and Mummy will be bringing you to Toa Payoh HDB Hub on 20.10.2009 to collect the keys to the brand new home that Daddy and Mummy is having for the 3 of us.

You will have your own room, but you are welcomed to sleep with us and you slowly but surely learn to become an independent boy.

You will have friends to play with next door as Joshua and Janelle share the same floor with us.

We will travel to IKEA to look at beautiful furniture and fittings and Daddy will always buy something and we will be having meals at the IKEA restaurant where Mummy will enjoy her chicken wings while Daddy will enjoy the swedish meatballs and the chicken wings!

We will travel to look at the sunset in Punggol end, we will fly kits in the open grass fields.. we will have uncles and aunties, friends of Daddy and Mummy moving into Punggol at different stages of your life.

By end 2009. We have our own home.

Love,

Daddy and Mummy
