Happenings...

Jaden had his chicken pox jab last Thursday and it hurts my heart to see the lil boy crying out in pain when the super-long needle entered his left thigh. But thankfully, Jaden returned to his normal self after a short while...phew! And maybe because of the pox virus in his body, the lil fella gained extra energy and courage to take his first independent steps! Jaden is slower than Ryan in terms of walking but I'm not particularly concerned as walking earlier also means more bumps in the head and occasional blood from the lips, as what happened to Ryan :(

Jaden before his jab

Jaden's weight is more on track now (9.5kg) and height (78.5cm). Maybe the vitamins helped to increase his appetite but not sure. Aunty Meli said his appetite is still the same. In fact, his appetite was so bad yesterday that he ate very little (also because he's having flu at the moment). He refused to take the apple cereal in the morning (something that he really liked normally), macaroni cheese in the afternoon (just a few spoonfull) and chicken soup noodle at night. However, he loved the Japanese yoghurt I made for him.

Ryan, on the other hand, is such a joy to feed. He opens his mouth big-big whenever I feed him during our outings. He loves noodles (especially Hokkien mee) and fried rice and of course, nuggets and fries (but papa and mama don't bring him often to McD or BK). Although he eats a lot, he will never be a 'fat boy' cos he's ever so energetic. We have to actually bring him to an open space (shopping complex or playground) regularly to let the Action Boy run about so that he can release his 'energy'.

Ryan has also learned to be friends with clowns. During koko Ryan Yap's 5th birthday, Ryan Yuen was initially terrified of the clown when the clown arrived at the house but slowly he became friends with Uncle Clown and participated in the games.
