Week 23 & Week 24

These two weeks Tobey has been busy 'sociallising' with his baby friends. Week 23, Tobey went to visit baby Sam. Baby Sam is extremely adorable and inquisitive.
Both babies played along fine. You know, they pulled each other's shirts, shared toys, tried hard not to touch one another.....just incase people get the wrong idea.

However, on Week 24, baby Shean Wenn visited Tobey. Bear in mind, this is their second meet-up after they first met up on Week 18

They shared toys....
Tobey 'sayang'-ed baby Shean ......(actually I watched him like a hawk as he used to like to scratch faces)

and he even pecked Shean several times!!! Both babies actually sat and 'baby- talked' to one another for quite a while. Incredibly cute!

Now now now...Is it me or this boy is starting to show preference within his social circle :P

In terms of development, he's advancing in his finer motor movements, for example he is now able to move his wrist around when manipulating objects instead of moving his whole hand. We also witnessed him showing some gentler and more intentful actions. For example, he would gently touch one of his toy on the keys on his play xylo-piano to obtain a quieter note and the next minute he would decide to just hit it with full force to hear the outcome, before keeping still to ponder (on presumely the difference), and then continue his play. When SK and I sing, whistle (SK, I can't) whilst playing one of his musical toy, he would become very excited and would make alot of movement. Hopefully, when he's older, we can dance together! We realised he's outgrown his all his toys and we will need to get him more sophisticated toys to further encourage and to accompany his learning enthusiasm.

Week 22

This week Tobey got his BCG jab at the hospital. This little one looked at the needle going in and didn't even make a sound. He then kept looking at the nurse. I guess wondering what had she just done to him. He regained his appetite and most times ate all his lunch and dinner. As a result, he could go abit longer without food at night. I pray to God that this will last as that is one area that he's always lacking, sleep stretches. He needs his long sleep to rest properly. Of course, that will make me a better rested mummy as well. But if he decides to take longer afterall, I will accept it, as long as he's happy and healthy.

As you can see in the picture, nowadays he reaches further to grab objects and discovered the joy of bouncing whilst sitting down, especially on the mattress. Both of this developments see him tumbling to his front and back more often. He needs to learn to crawl.

His baby babbling produces more syllables nowadays, which amuses us till no end. Can't wait to hear his first word :)

Just pics

Current most favourite object...

.....colourful magazines. He will flip, crunch, hit, fling and taste it (which I'll try to stop) until the magazine is all soft and wrinkly....then he'll throw it to the ground and reach for another toy.

Week 21

Tobey was down with a cold from Tuesday to Friday. It wasn't nice as he still don't know how to clear the phlegm from his throat or to blow his runny nose. And he woke up quite often in the first two nights crying from the discomfort of his throat. We halted all his solid food intake and up his liquid intake. Thank God by Friday he's almost back to his old self. One thing I noticed about my son is that he has a positive spirit. Despite being so uncomfortable, he didn't really complain much but continue playing, albeit in a slower pace, and continue giving us his warm smiles.

The 'Trick or Treat'ers weren't that hardworking this year, hence we have quite an amount of leftover halloween sweeties. Tobey was excited beyond words when we allowed him to play with them



("Hmmm..I think there's more sweeties under the tin")
