No discipline?

2011-11-25T10:59:00.010+08:00

Gabriel is 14+ months old now, he is so so so active.

While eating in a chinese restaurant, Gabriel as usual in his usual self playing with utensils banging them on the table and throwing them on the floor.

My sister in law asked me is your side of the family like this? I said no, kids in my family are quite. Then why like this, no discipline. Then they discuss themselves maybe i should change daycare or get an elderly people to look after him. I don't think changing caregiver will change him. Can you change personality of a child when he is that young? omg!

So far this what Gabby do

He throw his milk bottle away after he finish drinking his milk/water

He like to throw/drop his toys on the floor when he get boring of them

He go ballistic when he want things and you don't give him

When he really don't want to eat/drink he really meant it, don't force

On weekends he expect to be on the mall/outside or he will be very fussy

At home with me he is so clingy and love to be carried

Sleepless nights again

2011-11-15T11:18:00.002+08:00

The fast few days this little guy always have this interrupted sleep. He is cutting teeth again so bad he is having nappy rash so red from his diarrhea. He got heavy drooling, his gums so read and swollen, always irritable and refusing to take drinks. He always wakes up in the middle of the night or early morning crying. (This making me a zoombie at daytime) All i can do is offer him drinks of milk or water in case he's hungry and comfort him with my magic words and hands. The only thing that upset me when he don't like us to sit down and want me to carry him and dance him back to sleep...Arrrgh

Gabriel with his funny mouth

2011-11-09T13:56:00.002+08:00

he do this when he is so playful..

No crib please mommy

2011-09-08T10:25:00.004+08:00

I leave him upstairs in his crib for about 5minutes while i go downstairs to clean his bottles. He doesnt want to be put in his crib so i leave him crying there anyway when i came back he is sweating profusely and crying until he vomited all his dinner.I got really really angry the whole room become so smelly. While cleaning up his mess he's smiling/grinning at me while he's sitting on the bed..my God like a'lil evil! maybe he wanted to say 'that's what u deserve mommy!'

Before Bersih rally

2011-07-11T11:35:00.006+08:00

Last friday 8th July i was caught in a terrible traffic jam going back to USJ.The screen showing laluan ke arah USJ/Subang sesak teruk sila guna laluan alternatif (road to USJ/Subang is a massive jam, use alternative) how to use alternative? road only going straight, maybe if car can fly that's the alternative la. Ended up reached home 9pm from my usual 6:30pm.

Then Saturday comes another road block! lucky i didn't go anywhere that day.

He is now learning to walk. He is really an adventurous little guy that like to experiment be it with his hands or legs.He doesn't want the walker anymore. If he want to walk he will ask to take his hands.

Gabby Week 40 Milestones

2011-06-20T14:13:00.003+08:00

He can now say a few words, not only he can say ta ta ta, da da da, mam mam and nen nen but he can now mumble things i can't decipher.

He also started to pitch fits and have tantrums. He start throwing toys/things or push them away when he don't like it. He throw himself when he's upset in an effort to get attention.Am really scared when he do this.

He now can stand on his own on the baby cot and can position himself from sitting to crawling position and from crawling to sitting.

He's getting very hard to take care :-( he's so hyperactive.

update : 29/06/11

He can now clap his hands
He always want me around him when he's awake :( if i want to take shower, etc..have to push his baby cot near the toilet so he could see me otherwise he will cry until he is gagging.He got more teeth coming soon on the lower part a total of six now but upper part still none but already have signs.
And he can now dance to his favorite sounds/songs.He love the NTV 7 theme.

I went back upstairs then a few minutes later I heard the TV and i wonder why she's up so early. We went downstairs ready to leave then my MIL call me...she can't press the channel on the remote control and asked me to check tried the remote myself left and right buttons not working, too much pressing i guess but upper button is working so i asked her to press there when changing channel.Aiyooo she's so worried can't watch TV today sampai tak tidur!..

Gabby Seven-Month-Old Milestones

2011-04-14T10:07:00.003+08:00

he recognizes and responds to his name (daycare Auntie call him Gabriel, but he won't respond to me by calling him that name, i call him on his full name then only he will smile and grins, his granny call him Boyboy..very happy when he heard granny calling him)

He knows how to wave bye bye

Got his 1st tooth 2nd on the way

Trying to pull himself up to sitting position

Just last night he is on all fours and rock himself back and forth

He like to bury his face on pillow or bed (by lying on his stomach and pulling a pillow to cover his head) when refusing to have his milk or meds

He can go around back and forth on a walker

He like to talk to himself sometimes...dadada...tatata..mam mam mam

Still active as ever - the granny says he is like 'cacing' - worm

Like brother

2011-04-11T10:33:00.003+08:00

Next time the father and him go out like brother la. The eyes is so same so small. - different remark this morning from the daycare Auntie.

Comparing kids and gossipping

2011-04-08T11:28:00.006+08:00

The auntie at daycare comparing my son to an 11 months old boy (in a good way)
'You know your son is more active than that 11 months old boy, he can go around on that walker but if you put that 11 months boy on it he will just stare at you and sit down' then blah blah blah some more told me that that boy parents giving their son junk foods like mamee, twisties etc. when hungry and the mother use to put on 3-4 layer of napkin on him so he cant sit down,will fall if he does (i said what? kind of mother would do that?? mentally sick perhaps?). Pity that boy really.

But If they gossip about other parents I do wonder what other gossip (besides i constantly changing his milk powder?) 'bout me the've been telling to others?

About Gabby he is recovering from an eye infection - Coming back from daycare Monday night he had a thick yellow discharge on his left eye Auntie thought and me as well it's cause by the very hot weather coz the white part of his eye is not red or pink until Wednesday when his right eye getting a discharge as well .Wednesday night i sent him to his paediatrician and its an eye infection cause by a bacteria. Have him on eye drops and ointment and he's getting better no more shut eye when waking up. He is all smile this morning when he open his eyes.
