Updates Updates and Updates

Its been a while I last posted and I'm excited to announce that Josiah is finally walking without support and confidently. However the problem is that he walk very fast and unstable. When Joshua started to walk, he walks slow and steady but for Josiah, he walks fast but unsteady. It kept us really busy just watching him walk. He fell with his face straight onto the floor a few time already with bruises on his face.

Joshua was down with Thrush with whitish spots on his tongue. He got no fever but we have to seperate the 2 boys for a day and sterilise the toys to ensure the bacteria does not spread. Glad that the whitish spots disappear after 2 days. Its always a pain to seperate the 2 boys because it means additional manpower to watch 2 babies seperately.

The boys sometimes still a bit feverish and constantly had runny nose and we started to suspect on the Pediasure milk powder as we were told that the milk is very heaty and the babies need to drink plenty of water. Our babies always refuse to drink water and we think that could be a likely cause of them always getting fever. We are trying encourage them to drink more water.

We were supposed to go for a Professional outdoor photoshoot on 13th March, Sunday at Fort Canning Hill Park but it started raining just before the outdoor shoot and the shoot had to be postponed. We wore the family Popeye Tees and brought along Dad and Mum with a hope that we can bring back some memorable pictures. Unfortunately didn't go through. Anyway, we went to eat Ba Tuk Teh at Song Fa and walked along the river bank at Clarke Quay and the boys enjoy seeing all the boats on the river. The floor and the chairs along the riverbank are wet and the babies got wet as a result. Mummy obviously are not happy with me letting them walk freely fearing that they may fall sick.

I had my wisdom tooth removal on 16th March and in the midst of that nearly 30 minutes surgery, I suddenly have a vision in my mind that Joshua becomes a Dentist. Is that a prophecy for me? I felt that is a noble job to cure those with dental problem like what I had with my wisdom tooth. Go for it Joshua! Its a God's given vision to me.

The flu bug is back after the fever

As we thought the Fever season ended after the TCM on 25th Feb, Josiah went down with flu again on the 27th Feb. Coincidently, I also strucked with Flu and Fever the next day which I took 5 days to recover. I resumed my usual chore of taking care of the babies and stopped wearing the mask as I thought I had recovered. In fact, I had made the mistake of removing the mask as I actually still have a bit of runny nose on Thursday. This resulted in Joshua also went into Runny nose on Saturday. Haiz, I am already sick for so long... I really hope no one get sick again.

The boys are getting more fun to play with now. Joshua can walk pretty fast now and Josiah are more stable when we hold his hand to walk. They are making more noise at home and kept "Ahhh... Ahhh..." in the house. Both of them can point to me the Panda, Zebra, Star, Angel, Cookie Jar, Monkey, etc... quite accurately. Their favourite game are still to hide under the playmat and pulling the curtains. Their feeding are still an issue but their sleeping is pretty stable. They don't eat and drink a lot and we need to distract them to eat. They slept from 8:30pm to 6pm daily with 1-2 naps in the day.

We went for a Wedding Dinner last Sunday and Brother's shirt happened to be similar to the boys. So take a picture of him with the boys.

Over weekend, we brought the boys to the sports hall to see people swim, to Church and to the beach for a walk. The boys are now enjoying the Church Cradle roll now as there are always so many toys in the room but they are losing patience during worship services as they simply just want to walk around now... Just prayed that God will protect our family against illnesses and all of us will always be happy...
