Lucas is 5 months old!

My little boy is five months now! He looks more and more like a little boy rather than a baby nowadays...I am sad and happy at the same time! I wish he could stay little for a little bit longer :(

Here he is in his new high chair...not using it till he can sit up by himself. It's such a cool chair!

Cheeky boy!

This is not a very attractive photo of mum and baby! ahhah I just want to show you my hair is receding! arrghh! I must stop pulling my hair back into a pony...or maybe it's just stress. It's so depressing seeing all my hair fall out! 

What's in my Nappy Bag

My nappy bag is actually a wet bag from Pat a Cake Baby which I attach on to my pram. I got the large size and it fits all the baby neccessities.

Top left to bottom right:

• Dettol Hand Sanitiser
• Nappy Change Mat (Pat a Cake Baby)
• Dummies x 2
• Terry Cloths x 3
• Beanie, Socks & Change of clothes
• 3 x Nappies
• Huggies Wipes
• Bottles x 2 and Sachets of S26 formula.

I pre-pack these the night before if I am planning a morning outing so I don't forget anything when I rush out the door! Gives me more time to put on makeup and get myself decent before I see the outside world with the baby:)

Lucas is 3 Months Old!

My little boy is growing so fast before my eyes! I'm not sure whether to cry or be excited? I can't wait till he can start talking- it does makes things more easier for me! At least I will know what he wants instead of trying to work out all his different cries- he has many many cries and puts on his usual grumpy face. Especially after a poo. haha

Now he is three months he is definitely smiling more and recognising people's faces. He knows me and daddy's face and always greets us with a smile in the morning:) So very cute!

He is starting to grabs things now but drops it almost immediately after.

He has a very strong grip!

He also likes to chew on everything- especially likes to drool all over my shoulder and grab my hair too!

He finds his hands very interesting! He can spend many minutes just looking at them!

He isn't interested in Daddy's hands though.....

This is so cute! Hope everyone had a good easter break- I am so looking forward to Mother's Day and having my break. Daddy promised to look after baby while I get some sleep. Yay!

Smiley Lucas

My sister manages to grab a blurry shot of Lucas smiling! He only smiles when I tickle his cheeks:)

Trying to give him a Justin Bieber hairdo but his hair refuses to stay down!

Here is a family pic - we all just woke up!

Made a nappy present for my friend Sarah- it's supposed to be a motorbike haahha

Lucas meets Mr. Octopus! Don't think he likes him yet!

Time Flies!

I was looking back at some photos of baby when he was one month and look at how big he is now! He definitely is to blame for the muscles on my arms! haha

Here he is with Aunty Sharon........so small!



Now he is nearly two months and is awake more during the day. He had his immunisation the other day and eversince then he's been a grumpy lil thing.

Went to Koko Black (my favourite chocolate cafe in town) and tried a chocolate mocha- very rich and sooo yummy! I ordered a chocolate pudding and that was even more yummy! It takes some resistance to not go every week- I need to lose a few kilos!

 Lucas can lift his head up! Yay!

Wow! It's a half smile! It is so hard to get a smile out of this baby!

He prefers the serious look! ahhaah He looks like he is modelling!

"Asians in the Library" Video

Just stumbled on this video on Youtube yesterday and can't believe that this girl has the guts to rant about asians and their annoying habits in the library while she is trying to study. I think it's a very huge generalisation she made and it doesn't apply to all asians. The way she brought the Tsunami disaster into this is so wrong! Although she made an apology- the damage has been done and too late to turn it back. I thought in this day and age people are over this "Ching Chong" and "Ling Long" racist behaviour. It's quite upsetting for me as an asian and I do worry about my child going to school one day.

Lucas's Mohawk

For Lucas's One Month Birthday party (Full Moon Party) which is a chinese tradition, I styled his hair into a mohawk style. His hair was way too long! No gel needed!

Made some cupcakes for the party. I should call them butter cakes since I used 2kg of butter for the cake and the icing...so fattening! Oh well, once a year is alright!

I am currently reading "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins whilst breast feeding- nothing on tv to watch during the day. It's a great read so far. I bought the whole trilogy on ebay and glad I did- I have to read them all!

Highly Recommend this book!

Daily Life of a Mum

I am not sure how other mummies out there spend their days but mine is very repetive. It goes something like this: Feed, play with baby, change nappies, put baby to sleep and finally some "me" time and when baby wakes up I start again! Actually, if the baby is particularly grumpy I skip the "me" time until he falls asleep and because I am exhausted I sleep too!

"Me" time is actually not really time spent on myself- it just means baby isn't attached to me and I can do other things. Mostly this involves house chores. If I am lucky to get an hour of actual "me" time I will take a quick shower and hopefully I can include a shampoo every few days! I don't blow dry in case I wake baby up. Then I might be able to do some blogging whilst eating a meal (mostly Nutella sandwiches).

It's been a month now and I am beginning to feel the haziness of boredom settling in and I am desperate to go do some shopping or just go out to a restaurant and getting served for once. I wonder what full time housewives do everyday? It must get so totally and brutally boring for some while others might enjoy it? I know a few of my mummy friends have Foxtel or a stack of Korean Drama series to watch but I am not really a TV type of person. I can't sit around all day and stare at a box! Maybe I should consider taking up some Martha Stewart activities and start baking?

Lucas's birthday present from grandma! He loves it- for about ten minutes! Gives a bit of "me" time:)
