a jab, a wedding and a birthday

its 25 past 10 on a sunday evening... junior is throwing one of his "i dont wanna sleep" crying fits and THE WIFE is trying to put him to sleep....

we were at the docs two thusdays back, eighth march.... junior have this monthly injections for his 5 in 1 thingy... he is suppose to have a jab every month till he is six months... not only is today juniors jab day, its also one of me oldest friends wedding day and its also THE WIFEs birthday tomorrow... so to kill many birdies with one stone, we will have juniors jab in the morning, a lunch at some place nice to celebrate THE WIFEs birthday and follow by a reception at me friends wedding later in the afternoon... not too bad considering i only have to take an off day from work.... hmmmm....... and if THE WIFE is reading this, i love you baby, happy birthday....

we got to the docs at about 11 in the morning... not too many people on a weekday morning.. this time round i saw quite a few new borns, makes junior looks not so small after all... i dont see any kids with cough,colds running noses and sneezing fits... we took juniors weight and height, he is about 7.6kgs... before long, juniors name was called..

doc: hello, what can i do for you today?
me: well... he hasnt been moving his bowels for the last ten days... and his fart is very smelly... is it normal for kids to not pass motion for such a long stretch?
doc: well, its not unheard of, i have come across kids who have gone 8, 9 days without passing motion... is he feeding okay? sleeping okay?
THE WIFE: yah..
doc: he seems to be putting on weight, he is following the chart very nicely, i am very satisfied with his growth... i dont think its anything to worry about... but if you are concern, we do have something to help lossen his stools.. you want to try that?
me: sure..
doc: i will show you once, then you can do it at home when he gets stuffed up again..
me: okay..

the doc proceed to turn junior around, pushed a tube with a long neck up juniors little behind and squeezed... i dont think junior liked it, he turned around and give me the look.... i dont blame him, personally i havent come across anyone who like being poked in the behind, although i never did actively go around and ask... hmmm

the doc follow the tube thingy with a jab on juniors thigh....

we made the next appointment in a months time... hopefully, we wont have do that tube thingy to junior again.... and before we left, junior pooed... all ten days worth of poo in one go.. thats how powerful the tube is... hmmm....

i'm the baby, gotta love me

its just past midnight on a sunday morning.... junior is in his cot, THE WIFE is having her shower and i am just having some 'me' time.... we were just back from me in-laws, juniors grand-daddys place...

we got this new ride for junior recently... and in the spirit of the chinese new year, we got it in red... it has three wheels which make for easier handling and it can be open and closed with one hand, or at least thats what the lady at the shop said.... rolls roys has its winged lady, jaguar has its cat, mercedes has its three pointed star and juniors ride has this blue elephant with poka dot ears... nothing like a cool figure head to show that you have arrived... hmmm....


i wont say that junior is cute, but so far i have three perfect strangers coming up to either me or THE WIFE and comment that junior is cute... that he has nice looking eyes and a big smile... lets see now... power puff girls, poki-mon, hello kitty, mickey mouse, garfield and most teddy bears, these are all cute stuffs, the common thing about them is that they have arms that dont seem to be able to reach over their big round heads... maybe thats why all babies are cute..... hmmm

this is junior with his cousin, izaac... he is about 9 months his senior... right now most of juniors stuffs are hand me down from big cousin izaac... and izaac seem to have an affection for junior, whenever they meet at me mums place, usually on a weekend, izaac would be giving him kisses by pressing his face on junior... yes this green ride is izaacs, that could be why he is keeping a watching eye when junior is test riding his ride... wouldnt want to scratch it or something... junior must have liked it so much that he decided to get the same ride but in red....

junior is at a stage where he will imitate whatever he sees... when i smile at him, he would smile back... when i stick out me tounge, he would stick out his... junior is always all smiles whenever he has enough sleep and milk... and dont worry, he is not been kidnapped by some hairy monster, its just daddy and junior sharing a haha....
