Christmas Decor

@ 8 months 1 day

We have not really celebrated Christmas in the previous years – celebrate the holiday we get from it got la.. :P Anyway, this year’s Christmas is slightly different – it’s the first Christmas with a new baby and is indeed special for us. Like all other babies, Ryan is always fascinated with the Christmas ornaments and decor on a Xmas tree; and of course not forgetting those beautiful blink blink lightings. Can really keep him entertained for long.

Last night we went to Mid Valley (yeah.. again) for dinner at Dragon-i. It was our first time there; usually we dine at Madam Kwan or Spring Garden (err.. did I get it right.. neway the Tai Thong Rest). Food was alright but but the service suckssss big time. I wouldn’t perorate endlessly on how bad the service was but rather I would want to share on how happy and delighted Ryan was upon seeing those beautiful Christmas decor on the concourse floor. As usual, Ryan refused to sit still on his stroller so this poor mummy has to bring him ‘kai-kai’ so daddy and PIL could eat and subsequently take turns to entertain my cutie monster. Yesterday evening there were somehow more children running around the area than usual. So, Ryan was even more elated for being able to be part of the crowd until he is willing to sacrifice his nap time for anything (how mummy know Ryan was sleepy then?? -easy – through the constant rubbing of his eyes, yawning, sleepy Garfield eyes leh..)

Mummy managed to take some pictures before we went back in to finish mummy’s dinner.

Rashes Go Away!

@ 8 months 1 day

Eversince I bought the multi tasking food processor I’ve been exploring various types of food for Ryan. Yesterday I made this:

Receipe:

1) Steamed porridge with chicken soup

2) Blend chicken (cube size) and broccoli

3) Mix all with porridge

4) Yummy~~ yummy~~

Ryan finished the whole bowl; must be the taste (chicken as flavouring leh). So I thought not bad leh.. finished everything, will prepare the same for him tomorrow. Little did I expect this morning Ryan woke up with rashes all over his face esp. mouth area. Arrggh.. NO!!!! What could have been the allergen? Chicken cubes (first time I prepared)?? Broccoli (err.. had before, no rashes), what else?? He had apple juice yesterday and a very very small piece of grapes. That’s all… Hmm, I really don’t know. See, Ryan is a baby with sensitive skin and has always on special bath cleanser, cream and even his milk (on soy based Isomil) so I have been extra careful in his day to day care, diet and what not. So what happened? Again, I really don’t know.

Anyway, no turning back. As I’m typing this, Ryan is napping and I’ve applied a thin layer of Efficort (hydrocortison cream) in hope he’ll wake up with his usual handsome and cutie cheeky face. Pray hard cutie Ryan will recover from that ugly patches soon. Sigh…

Note to Ryan: Sorry cutie. Mummy wasn’t sure what caused the allergy. Will be more careful next time.
