Swimming Baby

I am talking about Lucas.

He is a fearless baby, having natural high when surrounding by water.

Interview with God

I don't like those 'Chicken soup of heart' things, but this one is exception. Quite inspiring. Wanna share with you...and also with Lucas.

香港始終有你

Walk your own road baby!

A big fat sashimi feast

Don't worry, Lucas could only look, not taste the raw fish.

But he DID try to eat wasabi, he used his hand to smash the wasabi paste and intended to put it into his mouth. We stopped him in the right time.

Otherwise the stimulation of wasabi will cause two possible outcomes: 1. He is scared of all spicy food or green paste or Japanese restaurant, or 2. He falls in love in it and wants us to put it in all of his food, including milk... Wasabi milk, can you imagine?

Detachable

I feel heart broken last few days because Lucas did not attach to me... much.

He always wants to stick with Lisa, or even my mom-in-law, just not to me.

I am silly but I did cry a lot because of that.

However, when I left home for work this morning, he was looking at me by a pair of tearful eyes, stretching his little hand out to try to touch me.

But what can I do? I should get back to work...

I am feeling very hurt, but the rational me always reminds me not to be that obsessive, it will make Lucas uneasy.

Arrrrrrr, what can I do????? He is just one year old, but it seems my emotion is so moved by him...

A childish mom - it's me

Seems I was happier than Lucas.

A good reader and listener

Lucas can almost totally understand our daily conversation and have interaction with us. He can react to both Cantonese and English.

As a book lover, I also encourage my kid to read. We buy him several 'touchy-feely' books - those books with pictures in different textures and eye-catching colour which arouse children's interest to read. He loves them a lot and always says 'A' loudly when he opens the first page, no matter what is showing there.

What a cute little angel.

Fashion show S/S

Hot baby Lucas was performing a captivating fashion show on last Saturday, Grand dad's home. He received non-stopping applause from audiences.

If we have a second child...

I have a discussion about having a second child with Jeff last night (Actually he raises this discussion all the time)...

If I have a second child and she is a baby girl, I will give her a name 'LUNA'.

Luna means moon, moon bean, god of moon...... This name matches 'LUCAS' perfectly as 'LUCAS' which means light.

Except 'Luna', I had also considered the name 'Lelia', because in Star War, the hero and heroine - the twins are called Luke Skywalker and Lelia Skywalker..... Hahahahahahha!!!

Lucas recovers well

Thanks god that Lucas is getting better and better. The red colour in eyes is fading out also, and he has no more fever.

What a great relief when you see his chubby face is coming back.

Lucas, once you get totally well, we will celebrate your birthday with you again, only three of us!!!

Kiss!!!

Roseola

Jeff brought Lucas for a medical consultation again this morning.

The doctor said he may infect Roseola, a common illness among infants from 3 months to 1 years.

For further information, please visit this link: http://www.healthline.com/adamcontent/roseola

He is still having fever, but doctor said it will not cause any big harm to him. Once rashes come out, the temperature will drop dramatically.

I do wish the red spots will come out very soon and Lucas will be recovered.

I am in office, just finished several rushing works, but my heart is already with my kid. It is so difficult to be a working mom.

'Outing therapy'

This is the fourth day of Lucas's fever. We read some articles and knows it is not common for baby to have high temperature for several days, my mom said it would happen especially he is having sore throat.

I really want to cry when seeing him suffering.

However, his mood and condition will totally changes once we bring him out, he will suddenly become very lively and cheerful, even shaking his body like dancing. But once you step into the car to get back home, he will shift to the upset 'mode' again.

We call this 'treatment' of desperation during sickness the 'Outing therapy'.

We bathed him three times today to reduce his temperature, and went out twice. I wish that he will have a sound sleep tonight!!

Birthday Fever

I mean it literally. Poor Lucas have been having fever since his birthday. Now is already the third day. We have brought him seeing a doctor and he had to prescribe antibiotic to him, as the fever had not gone in the first two days.

It really tears my heart apart I tell him I should get back to work everyday, he bursts into cry and trying to grab my shoulders.

Thanks god tomorrow is a public holiday and I can spend more time with him.

生日會的幕後花絮

媽打07年最新髮型 - balloon head...我擔心將有一日我也會成被整對象。

寶寶摔了一跤，令他T-shirt上的領帶Print圖案更有動感。

1 year old

Tomorrow will be Lucas's birthday. I am still proud of what I had done one year ago - had given birth to a 7.8 lbs little human.

Not sure what birthday wishes Lucas had made in birthday parties - one with my parental family and another with Jeff's family. Everyone was having great time.

Hope I can get home early to have one more celebration event with Lucas tomorrow, only Jeff, me and him, we do not have to do anything, just hugging each others and singing birthday song.

BTW, Lucas gives a new name to his pacifiers, he calls them 'E-D'!!

朗朗識行啦!

唔好講咁多,睇片!

My first Mother's Day

Still remember last year I was expecting Lucas would have been born on or before the Mother's Day and we could celebrate together.. Then God sent him to me about one week later, on May 21.

This year, I am being a REAL mother, with a little creature literally in my arms, I celebrated a sunny Mother's Day with him and my family. We spent our morning in Sai Kung, we 'yum Cha' there and had fun at the beach next to that restaurant. I could tell Lucas enjoyed the beach time - he even licked sand in his palms...

How can something be sweeter if you baby comes to you and kisses you cheerfully suddenly? The is what Lucas does to me always.

I am really a lucky mom. Yes, it is a difficult task to be someone's mother, but the joy your baby gives you in indescribable.

Grace, hope you enjoy your third trimester. Happy mother's day!!
