Happy 7 Months today, my little boy! If you ever read this blog someday when you are much older, let me tell you that by this age you are already strong enough to stand up supported and taking steps and learning how to walk. You are a happy baby, very generous with your smiles and giggles, but unfortunately still struggling to sleep through the night… but it’s okay my little boy, we will get there eventually. Teeth Count: 6 (3 at bottom, and 3 at the top.. and they are sharp!) Just a few nights ago while you were busy … Continue reading Week 31: 7 Months

To hopefully make up for my previous overtired and lazy post for Week 29, I am going to do a detailed recap of the past week since my parents and sis have been here. My mum’s stay has officially been extended! She was leaving on the 9th July with my dad and sis, but now she’s not leaving until the 6th of August!! Wooohoooo… I am so happy because it actually makes a huge difference having mum here. Hubby hasn’t been in his best shape recently either, due to a sports injury his back muscles have been injured and he … Continue reading Week 30: Micah’s Baptism

One of my favorite photos of Micah and my sister Ruby I’ll just do a quick blog post because we’ve had a longggg day and I am SO exhausted and I cannot wait to go to bed. My parents and my youngest sister Ruby of course are finally here!! Micah is loving all the extra attention he has been getting. I am loving all the extra help I have been getting. We have a busy week ahead as Micah’s baptism is coming up quickly this Sunday. So much needs to be done and everyone has done a great job so … Continue reading Week 29: Centre of Attention

If you are a parent yourself, I am sure you know very well how fast time flies and how quickly our children grow up! Which is why we are always looking for ways to capture all those special moments. I have taken thousands of photos of Micah and framed them, and his photo album is already full, and my Facebook page is flooded with his photos and updates on how he is going. This entire BLOG is dedicated to my special journey from pregnancy to birth and continuing progress of his growth and development! I’d like to dedicate this post … Continue reading Special Feature: Treasured Keepsakes

Micah and I got to spend some quality time this week. On the weekend we went for a nice walk in the sun (very rare these days!) it didn’t feel like winter at all, and enjoyed a lovely lunch outside at Red Rooster. Look at that beautiful cheeky grin of his… he was so happy and content to be out smelling the fresh air.  Hubby is away in Queensland for 4 days this week so Micah and I will really be spending lots of quality time. We hung out at Glen Waverley today while I did some Asian grocery shopping … Continue reading Week 28: EARTHQUAKE IN MELBOURNE! Quality Time, Biting & Playpen (Again)

 Micah had his 6-Months Review today and even though we thought surely he would be 10kg by now, he’s not quite there yet. Which is good! He is still in the 97th percentile for both his height and weight, so he is still a big baby for his age but we are so proud of it. He is a thriving, healthy baby and so strong and so confident and so clever, we just couldn’t ask for more 🙂 Ever since Micah started commando crawling at 19 Weeks, we haven’t been able to let him play on his playmat unsupervised. Even … Continue reading Week 27 (Pt 2): 6-Month Review & Playpen

Micah’s favorite toys… BALLS! Here in Australia, first time mums are assigned to a Weekly Mothers Group for 6 Weeks by their local council. It’s part of the free community support program set up for new mothers and is a great way for new mothers to meet other new mothers in their area, as well to learn all the basic things you need to learn about looking after a baby. I was assigned to a Mums Group and started going to a Children’s Centre just minutes away from my home when Micah was about 2 months old.  Within the 6 … Continue reading Week 27: Weekly Mums Group at the Play Centre
