Jonas same same with D again...he also do the "headstand" on the bed only...and when he try to push himself up, he can't balance and fall FLAT on the mattress...so it's a good thing he's not trying this stunt on the floor.
Gene
My boy has been getting bad constipation quite often recently...just last weekend, we had to dig his stools out from the hole...he was crying so badly...poor thing. He's still on NAN 3...dunnoe if I should change FM...but then, another thing is he DUN EAT fruits at all...which I believe is the main factor to his C problem. signnzzzz.....
Any mummies here with babies who dun like to eat fruits?

Leo,
when I'm engrossed with something, I also don't respond! And when J is engrossed with something he also doesn't respond...I think that is normal. I think I'm normal hahah.
Mmm...Cindy,
Good for Caitlyn! I cut some watermelon last night and my friends ate it all, leaving none for J (today). Oh well..
Mrs Lai,
I think the "standard" for babies our age it to babble and not to talk lah... Jesse's way of saying "read this" is to bring the book to me and then say "Da Dum".

mrs lai, agent d,
i really do think he's teething. cos he has been constantly bringing his hands to dig (for lack of a better word) his gums recently. anyway, he's been asleep for 1 plus hour already. hope after he wakes up, he'll be well enough to go to school.
cindy,
yah he has been getting sick on/off pretty often in the past two months. but luckily he didnt get major bouts of stomach flu, diarrhoea etc like some of my colleagues' kids when they started school. so i was actually prepared for the worst, but the worst hasn't happened to him yet.
mrs lai,
kaizer hasn't taken his too. i might ask for it to be pushed back as far as possible, cos no urgent need to take it at the moment anyway.
cindy,
good for caitlyn! kaizer has tried watermelon before, but quite neutral to it. i'll most prob let him try again since he loves fruits. at the moment, his fav fruits are grapes and bananas. but he is okay with guava, oranges and apples. haha, fruits + biscuits are the mainstays in his diet. things like rice and spagetti are his deserts and side dishes!

sandwich,
your "healthy eating campaign" is really taking off with Kaizer! haha. I think they really take after us lor...I eat fastfood about 3 times a week and the rest of my meals are mainly starchy or meaty. Our family takes a week to finish 5 apples and we hardly have any other fruits around (the watermelon was given to me by my mil). So it's not hard to see why Jesse hardly takes fruits except what I've mentioned. I did think of buying some blueberries for him to try but I forgot when we were at the supermarket. It's just not something that's on my mind...which is terrible.
This Kaizer's ailments had to do mostly with food and allergies, right? I think he's doing really well, health-wise, considering that he started childcare. Way to go! Keep those vitmins and healthy stuff going his way!
Cindy,
poor me too. I only had one piece/cube
How's summer?

Cindy,
I hated summers...but hey, the ang-mohs love them and relish it! I always just kept telling myself, at least it's just a few months and the really hot days only probably add up to 3 weeks total.
I've never been to Niagara in summer (always wanted to try the original Buffalo Wings but never did)...maybe you have to go further north! haha.
Talking about buffalo wings, there used to be this place called "BW3" (google it) they had fantastic wings and Tuesdays were wing days. I think they have branches scattered across the country (or maybe just the midwest). But if there's one near you, give it a try.

agent d,
yah i like fruits and veg myself. before i gave birth, i used to take fruits for breakfast. there was one week when i just had raw celery and raw carrots with cheese for breakfast, and that freaked a lot of people in the office out. my husband eats a lot of raw or semi cooked veg, he can even tolerate raw garlic. but of course, i can't lah. my dad refers to the veg that me and my husband eat as "grass". cos his version of veg is the normal type of asian veg -- well cooked, with condiments, and with lots of seasoning. but now with breastfeeding, it's a different story. i eat like a pig. for breakfast today, i had a pack of fishball mee, a pack of fried carrot cake, a cup of fresh milk and 2 choc chip cookies. oh no, feel quite gross to be eating so much now that i'm typing everyting out.

Of coz counted lar….especially apples…an apple a day keeps the doctor away…but my boy just dun like….not even his used-to-be fav papaya…..duh! Guess he’ll have to drink Lactus daily (which he loves!)…..
Meddy
I ever changed his FM before coz he didn’t like milk …but he’s not used to the taste…so still gotta mix with NAN. About Ribena….I heard that it actually do not contain the vitamins C that the advertisement claims?
Min
Can D walk with support yet? For example with you holding his hands?
Augleo
Looks like you making frequent use of the zoo pass…and that’s good….juz wondering, how many times has JK been to the zoo already?
Cool_D / Kelly / Meddy
Jonas has had both MMR and chix pox jabs already...seems ok...no or very slight fever...errr...can't tell if he got autism though...in the first place, he will always cry when strangers stare at him and when he's confined inside in a new enclosed room.

well, I can tell you that there is inconclusive evidence wrt MMR and Autism.
Here are 2 FAQ I took from American Association of Pediatrics website:
What Parents Should Know About Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Vaccine and Autism
Q. Is there a link between measles vaccination and autism?
* No, there is no scientifically proven link between measles vaccination and autism.
* Extensive reports from both the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute of Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conclude that there is no proven association between Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.
* Autism is a chronic developmental disorder, often first identified in toddlers from age 18 months to 30 months. MMR is administered just before the peak age of onset of autism. This timing leads some parents to mistakenly assume a causal relationship. There is no evidence that MMR causes autism.
* Increasing evidence indicates that autism is determined while the baby is still in the womb, early in the pregnancy.
Q. What are the complications of measles vaccination?
* Measles vaccine is safe; most people have no reactions.
* About 5 percent to 15 percent of vaccine recipients may develop a fever five to 12 days after MMR vaccination. The fever usually lasts one to two days and usually is not associated with other symptoms. About 5 percent of MMR recipients may develop a rash one to two weeks after immunization.
* Central nervous system disturbances, such as encephalitis, have been reported with a frequency of less than one per 1 million doses of MMR vaccination administered, a frequency many times lower than the incidence of serious central nervous system disorders that follow natural infection at a rate of one per 800.
If you want to read up more, this is my source:

And I'm sure google will turn up even more.

aiyah... the thing is, your kids ignoring if engrossed. For my gal, she is refusing to acknowledge. Worse, she just ignore, staring at something else or look elsewhere.
My hubby said the PD not v good then i was talking to my sister, my sister said (in USA) the PD will observe the kid playing with the parents then comment. Ours is the PD ask the kids things and see if the kid respond.
So now, the PD is just very cautious and said to push the MMR to 2 years old. Which is fine with me.
