The End of my Breastfeeding Journey- Mama's Entry

The beginning of my breastfeeding journey was a tough one, and me being a stubborn cow, finally succeeded, and breastfed KJ exclusively until yesterday 19th October 2009, and I discovered that I have no more milk! I suspected that was due to my pregnancy. Initially I would like to continue breastfeed KJ to 18 months, right before I give birth to no. 2. But it seems like I have to cut short the journey.
The toughest part of weaning KJ now is him getting to sleep. He has been depending on me to get to sleep, and for the past 2 nights, he has to learn to settle down by himself without my nai-nai. As I am typing this post, he is crying in the room with papa, trying to settle down. Yesterday he tried for 30 mins, and tonight he finally settled into sleep in his papa's arm within 15mins. We hope that his crying before sleeping will cease soon. I can't take it any longer to listen to him crying for me. That was one of the reason I delayed the sleep training till now. So here marked the end of my special journey, but my love to KJ will never end here.
Here too mark a very proud mile stone in my life, thank you all who help cheer me and support me during my BF journey!
For those of you wanted to try breastfeeding, failed but want to try again, I will be glad to share my experience with you. Do drop me a line and I will be happy to help!

Monsoon 2009

Hello people, it is the time of the year again, mama and papa are packing up to leave the island.
Here you can see me and the boxes and bags that are going with us to the mainland.


When we are all ready, papa, mama, aunty Kat, Kakak, and me are heading to the mainland in "My Boat". This is me with my very cool looking life vest, and you can see that I really love boat ride, the wind in my hair make me feel like I am flying!!

Mama told me that we will be going to Kong-kong and Popo's house first, but we will not get to play at the beach everyday!

Our car journey was about 7 hours, and we stopped at my kong-kong's hometown Lenggong for dinner, there we had the most delicious ball-ball (fish ball):



The journey wasn't as bad as mama think it was going to be, because papa installed the in flight entertainment for me, and I enjoyed my whole journey back without complaining too much. I only whinged a little during the last 2 hours of the journey, which mama let me get out of my car seat and stretch my legs for a bit.

We arrived home to my kong-kong, popo and jiu-jiu, and everyone were so happy to see me. I was very tired, but was happy to see them all, and I stayed up playing with them till 10pm!

14 and a half Month Old - Mama's Entry

Time flies, my baby is now almost 15 month old, and he sure can do a lot now!

He can now:

Say a few things, he speaks some Mandarin, but he certainly understand English too.
His biggest word is now a 3 syllabus word "Butterfly", sometimes he say it really clear, but sometimes it sounds like "Babafly". He has many commands like "pok" means peel when he hands you an orange (his favourite fruit). "xia chee" means go down when is wants to get off the high chair or the bed. Babul means Bubbles for his bath or asking someone to blow bubbles for him.

This is KJ when he's enjoying his Orange.


This is KJ in the semi automatic babble mode!

Since he started to walk right after his birthday, he's been walking non-stop. There are time that everyone at Bubbles at worn out by him running round and round the restaurant. It sure is nice to watch him toddling around, but now we are all so tired running after him!

His ball playing skills improve, from dribbling, he now kick ball, and control it for a distance! He can throw rather accurately over his head, and roll the ball to the desire direction without miss.
Everyone at the resort think he will either become a footballer, or a NBA player.

Here's me in action!!
