15 months

My little guy is about 15.5 months now. We went to the doctor for his 15 months wellness check up a few weeks ago and also to get a few jabs (poor guy!) As he gets older it is more and more of a challenge for the pediatrician to check him and also to give him his jabs!

K.O after his traumatic time at the dr's office

14months

Little guys development is improving everyday. He is at this age where he is testing his boundaries and does not understand when we are trying to reason with him which drives hubs and I crazy since he will do things he is not suppose to like pull the blinds (he broke one of my blinds already which cost about $45 per piece!), or open the drawers and pulling stuff out, pulling hubs glasses etc.. I tried giving him time out but sometimes he just thinks that is a game!

Loves to walk...especially walk by himself without holding anyone's hands. He can run very quick too! Every time when we go shopping hubs will watch him and just get worn out chasing after him! Last week I took him to the mall he was trying to run everywhere! I was trying to hold him and push the stroller! @_@ we really need to get a harness for him real soon! Hubs didn't like the ones that we saw in the store. He wants to get the one to put on his hands but I don't want. I want those that is actually on his body. Still debating and we really need to make a decision real soon or else it can be very difficult to chase him and he don't like to hold our hands. When we let him walk freely in the store u can she the smile he has on his face! Happy as a pig in a sty!! Lol

The past 3.5 weeks we finally decided that hubs should sleep with him in another bed so he don't "snack" on me all night long causing him and I to have lack of asleep. It was pretty difficult at first then he finally got it down to nurse, dad reads story books, turn off the lights and bed time. I had to put him to bed at night last week twice and the first time was really difficult as he wanted to nurse to sleep. Second night he knew and didn't ask to nurse. He is still nursing to nap and I've been trying to break this habit and doing the going to bed routine but it has not been working. I really don't mind him nursing nap time but I just don't want to spoil the night routine. Morning at about 5-6 am he would wake up and cry and I will carry him in my bed nurse him and hopefully he will snooze for another hour or some. This week we have not been lucky at all! He has been getting up at 6am and refusing to go back to sleep! The last two night he has been waking up at almost midnight and waking up him the morning between 4-6 am (usually at the early time). I do not believe in having him cry himself to sleep cause No ONE should need to cry themselves to sleep so hubs and I decided that if he cries to hard I will get him and he has been crying very hard for me so have been nursing him until he's drowsy and putting him down. However in the morning I still take him to bed with me and nurse him. Today he got up at 3:50 am and was screaming for me! He also got up at 6am!! FML.. If he's crying like this no one can sleep anyway so might as well I get him instead of sleepless morning for the whole family.

12 months 3 weeks

ONE

I cannot believe my baby turned ONE! Sob sob.. His journey into toddler hood has begun! It just seems like yesterday that I was heavily pregnant and was anticipating his arrival! Hoping and praying that everything will go alright and that I have a healthy and happy baby.

Fast forward 12 months later I have a healthy and mostly happy boy!! This little guy has not only have me wrap around his little fingers but he has his daddy, my parents even my sister!! He really knows how to charm people!

I am really happy that my sister got to celebrate his FIRST birthday with us. Plane tickets were sky rocket high but my sister and her friend made an effort to come down and celebrated his birthday with us. hooray!!!

I was planning on having a huge birthday party for him, but after doing some research I decided not to because they said that kids at his age does not know how to appreciate a birthday party and it can be too over whelming for him as well.

First mother's day

I blogged about my first mother's day on mother's day itself but didn't get a chance to finish it and I am not sure if I did not save it so it actually went missing! I've been too tired the past weeks to do much.

I had a great mother's day. Hubby made breakfasts that morning. I requested biscuits and gravy because I knew that it would make hubby's life easier! Lol Anyway that is one of DH's speciality. I also know that in the mornings because of my little guy we don't have much time to prepare breakfast. 


We basically went out to shop a little on Saturday and stayed home on Sunday instead since I know that it will be packed everywhere (is always packed anyway but worst I would assume). Also on Sundays I rather stay at home and rest so that hubby can get well rested for the week instead of running around doing errands or going shopping. 


DH changed all of my little guys diapers so I didn't even change a single one of his diapers!! Lol.. He tried to deal with our little guy all day long while mummy just chill. All mummy needed to do was to nurse him and put him to sleep because they both come hand in hand. 

To end my night my two boys wrote me a little note (I could hear both of them when I was taking a shower) lol. Daddy was trying to reprimand him from touching or destroying stuff while he's trying to type the note on the computer. 

Can't wait for father's day! Hopefully it will be a good one for hubby!

11months

@11 months old

My baby is almost 11months old! I say this ALL the time but where has the time been??? He will turn ONE years old in a month!!WOW!!


I'm not sure how much he weights since we don't go to the doctor until his 12months wellness check up but I'm pretty sure he put on weight since the last time we weight him at the dr's office.


He now has 5.5 tooth (.5 has just started to sprout out). Bites on everything except his teething toys.

Day 20

I've been meaning to update about my fury friend and my little guy but life has just been a little hectic for me. Nothing much but just the same old like trying to juggle between the house hold, kitchen, two fury babies and especially my little monster!


I really miss my westie a lot! Everything in this house reminds me of him. He's. been with me fair share amount of time and I can't stop thinking about him.


Just one week after we gave him up he's already showed improvement. He was off the ecollar and was only scratching a little. He's happily playing with the other dogs.


This week when I called the lady (not his foster mom) she said his skin is already showing vast improvement. Skin getting softer and he's not itching! Man I really wish I can see him.


I didn't ask to see him ( at least not yet) because I was talking to a few people and DH they said that is not a good idea because he will think we are going to go pick him up! It will mess him and me up emotionally. Which I totally agree. Now that he's better and has settled in I really don't want to mess him up. As much as it hurts me and miss him every time I see his pictures all over my house I have to think about him. I don't want him to get confused if he sees me and wonder why he's not going home with us.


Listening to everything apart of me thinks that we really made the right decision. In as little as 2.5weeks he's already improved drastically! I've been giving him treatment for the last 2 years and he has not showed improvement like this! This was the main reason why we decided to give him up is to find help for him. His foster mom deals with dogs that has his condition and worst so ultimately they know what they are doing and gets the dogs well quickly. She is also retired so she has all the time in the world to treat these dogs.


I just pray his condition will continue improving. We miss you very much and we talk about you all the time!!!xoxo
