Nappy Rash, Pain Pain!

Logan has been "Lau Sai" for the past 3 days. 1 day maybe 4-5 times. Ah Ma said because of teething. His butts are swollen and very red. When we changed his diaper, he will cry until very "jiat liat". Now he knows what pain is. The last time when he got a even more serious nappy rash at 2 months old, he did not cry.

Yesterday, we watched Solar Eclipse 8:30am LIVE....on Channel U..heehee...together with ah-ma to witness this scenario once in 500 years.

Life is back to normal.

Logan is naughtier starting this whole week. He always cried and got cranky at around 9pm. Milk given, diaper changed. We do not know why. At times, he clenched his fists and bit his lips. Hmmm...maybe teething? To "shut" his mouth up, I have to carry him in standing position for 15 mins before he fall asleep. Sometimes, we have to bring him for a stroll downstairs. Ah Ma also mentioned to me that Logan started to cry for attention nowsaday. Previously, he usually cries only when he is hungry or weather too hot.

It has been a week since Logan's grandfather & Mei gu gu went back to Indonesia. Life is back to normal. These few days, Logan always made his way in his walker to grandfather's room and look around for some time. dunno why....

### Failed Attempts for Crawling - very lazy,try a bit and rest.###

Logan fell down for the 1st time. Phew!

Logan is 7 months old.
- weighs 8.7kg and 74cm long
- Legs extend beyond the floor when sitting in walker.
- can move "forward" in his walker recently. Last time, only backward when first started.

On 5th July Sunday, Logan fall down from the bed onto a floor matress for the 1st time. When I entered the room and saw him on the floor mattress, I ask henry if he placed him on the floor mattress, he denied and answered, "I thought you are the one who place him there?" Hahaha....then we realised that Logan fell down. He continued to play by himself as if nothing happen. I checked if Logan fractured his hands or legs but seems fine.

Every time when going down the stairs in the multi-storey car park, Logan got extremely excited and screamed! He likes "going-down stairs" movement very much. Here's a video, turn on volume to hear his shriek:

BBQ outing at 三姨's house.

Yesterday, We had a family BBQ gathering at Third Aunt's house to welcome Fourth Aunt on school holiday back from Australia. It was a belated welcome party after quarantine her for 1 week...Haha. At 4:30pm, we set off with first aunt's family (my eldest sis). Kyler kept saying green, GO! becomes "GINKO" and red, Stop! while I was driving. Luckily, it was not a very hot day as it rained earlier. At around 6pm, Grandfather led his 3 grandsons for a dip in the pool. They started splashing water at each other. It was fun!***See video***

Uncle & Aunt Yap also came to the BBQ. They brought curry chicken and four presents for Kyler, Kieren, Kiefer and Logan. Like X'mas day. In the end, Kieren & Kyler fought for the remote controllable toy car. Kyler saw a Japanese girl around his age (next BBQ pit) and he "stalked" on her by following everywhere she went. We thought Kyler wanna woo her...haha. Fourth Aunt brought along her shy boyfriend,Alex to introduce to us. Both of them made apple crumble and salad which they learnt from Le Cordon Bleu. Not bad...gave them 7 out of 10. Both of them barbequed most of the food for us. Pai seh...

Everyone asked me,"Why Logan so quiet?" I replied, "Just like Henry...boring.":) Well, maybe too crowded?? or maybe the other nephews were busy playing and shouting and so it made Logan seemed quiet? My brother-in-law said that he felt like playing with Junior Henry whenever he played with Logan. Come of think of this, he felt weird. Indeed, Logan was very quiet for the rest of the day except when we were going home, he suddenly cried loudly for no reason. Everyone was surprised by his deafening cry.

Logan got cranky with his nose stuck.

Today is the 7th day quarantine for my youngest sister who came back from Melbourne. Recently, Singapore has many new H1N1 cases, mostly from Melbourne. These confirmed cases took SQ flight on the same day as my sister who was taking qantas flight. As she did not show any symptoms so far, we brought Logan back for my mum to take care. Ah Ma "heartpain" & exclaimed why Logan seemed to lose weight, saying we never take good care of him. Hee..only lost 0.3kg nia.

Recently, Logan snored very loudly at night because his nose was stuck with mucus. He cried and woke up 3-4 times for a few nights since he was not feeling well. We didn't sleep well too. *Panda eyes*. Doctor said infant's maternal antibody usually ended when they were 6 months old and they started to fall sick more easily.

Some of his developments >>
- His hair starting to grow again since last week.

- Once in a while, he really "Talk" and "Scream" very loudly but immediately kept quiet when he discovered us taking video of him.

- Got so engrossed when watching "Wheels On the bus" that he completely ignored me despite me trying to catch his attention. After 15 mins, he started to get bored.

- His dad placed him in a walker last week for him to learn walking. He can only move backward. Err...but he hasn't learn how to crawl yet??

Last sunday 7:30am, we sent 四姑 to airport as she was going back to Taiwan.
Henry's dad is recovering fast. He can walk slowly without a walking stick and can write with his hands already. Acupuncture is amazing!

Kiddy palace having 20% storewide discount. I bought a "baby einstein" flash card for Logan but after I opened it, I found it too "chim" for infant.

四姑 from Taiwan came to Singapore.

This week, Logan is being taken care by Henry's 4th sister who came from Taiwan to visit her dad for a week. Because my youngest sister just came back for holiday from Melbourne, we decided to quarantine her at my mum's house for a week. This is because Melbourne is listed as one of the highly affected areas for H1N1 flu recently. Just 2days ago, 2 people from Melbourne back to Spore also kena H1N1 flu. So we do not dare to bring Logan to my mum's house.

He seems to like 四姑 because everytime she carried him and played with him, he laughed. 四姑 is of great help, not only can she cook for henry's dad, looks after Logan, she also does laundry and fold clothes for the whole family. However, she is here for a week only. :(

Some of his developments:
- like to play with saliva by pouting his mouth and spraying out his saliva. Maybe teething soon.

- Simply love wheat-based cereals. Ah Ma said he finished cereal very fast. like a glutton. Maybe he is sick of milk.

Logan is lonely.

Yesterday, when we fetched him from work, he was extremely happy and kept giggling whenever we talked & played with him. My mother told me Logan insisted her to carry him for a long time these few days. It seemed like he needed some companionship.

Recently, we neglected Logan. Because henry's father got stroke on 27th May and my grandmother passed away on 29th May 2009. Henry has to fly to indonesia and brought his dad to Singapore to see doctor and I have to attend my grandmother's funeral. We were exhausted. However, we will try our best to spend more time with Logan like playing with him at night.

Growing Developments of Logan as at 4th June (6 months):
- Weight 8.3Kg
- Length 71cm
- Has been taking Similac 2 for 2 weeks. we intend to introduce Logan to cereal next week.
- Can flip his whole body successfully on the bed,stay for quite some time and can flip back.(Sometimes too tiring and he fall asleep in that position.)

- Likes to play with his hands since 3 months old. So no need to buy toy for him already. Here's a video clip taken on 1st June 2009.
