Shawn's First Trick

Has been 2 weeks already, my darling Shawn keeps repeating his first trick to attract all our attention by clapping his hands.

Every time the grandpa comes back from outside, he will starts shouting to his grandpa and clap his hand to show his welcome home trick to his grandpa. Seems like he is the joy of his grandpa now.. ;)

I really enjoy seeing him doing the same tricks over and over again..

Mummy clever boy!!

Shawn First Word and First Snack.

Haha!!... From what I have expected, Shawn's first word is "Mum-Mum" exactly like his 2 elderly brothers; their first word also the same word. I hear Shawn mentioned it when I ate my apple last night.

He was so excited the past few weeks when he saw his family members had their food or snack while watching TV. He will slowly come to you in his walker and starts to be so excited and hoping that you will pop something into his mouth. His mouth will starts repeating the same movement ; open and close his mouth like a little fish saw its food... Snacks like bread, cakes and fruits, all of us start to share with him and fed him with a small little bite.

I also bought him the baby rice cracker, the first time he taste it he can't resisted it as he hold his cracker so tide and even don't allow us to touch his little snack in his hand. He love it so much!!..

Lost in Shopping Mall !!

It has been a shocked for me when we had our family outing yesterday at IOI Mall. 4 Kids and baby Shawn went to shopping with 5 adults including myself, hubby, MIL, BIL and SIL.

When we were at the Jusco ground floor, the men were busy shopping at the car accessories dept and the ladies were busy going to queue up at the payment counter. Before we went to the counter, I saw the boys (BIL's son 9 yo, Samuel and Samson) were gathered at the TV display and watching the TV. So, happily we went to the payment count and thought that the men might watch the boys coz they are the nearest to the boys.

Right after we done the payment, I noticed the boys were next to us and I started to count (which I usually do). I couldn't find Samson, so I ask the elder boys and they just telling me "don't know??".. My heart start dropping and I guess my face also turned green and grey.

I quickly rushed back to the TV display area and start looking for him and I started to pray in tongue. Then the security guard saw me and he ask me whether I am looking for a boy, then I answered him yes. Then he asked me to look for him at the information counter. My hubby also told me that the information counter already start paging about a lost boy which I can't even hear a single word coz the mall was crowed with people.

Again I rushed to the information counter and start looking for him. Thank GOD he is there, sitting at the corner and with tears in his eyes. I called his name but I guess he must be in shock and don't know how to react when he saw me. I went in and carried him then only he starts to grab my leg very tight.

Really thank GOD he is ok even though got such a shock in my life and I guess it is also a lesson to both of us. Samson will not simply run around the shopping mall and I will not simply rely on others any more which thought that the men and the elder boys would have an eye on the younger ones. I started to teach Samson to shout to look for mummy and daddy once he couldn't see us and also to remember me and my hubby hand phone numbers.

Ghee... what a nightmare to us. The whole thing just happens not longer than 15 minutes but that moment really feels like a century ...Praise the LORD...

Shawn 8th Month Progress

Shawn's 3th teeth came out and me and my mum in law saw it. 3rd teeth at the upper gum and I think the 4th one is coming out very soon. His 1st teeth was out when he was around 7th old.

Shawn progress quite fast for his age. He can sit on his own with no support but I still put a cursion behind him in case he got too exited and push himself and fall back. He even tried to pull himself up or forward whenever he grap anything in front of him like a chair or the side of his bed.

Mum in law said some baby push their walker with their legs but Shawn actually use his both legs and "walk" while he is in his walker. MIL think that Shawn can walk on his own before he even turns 1 year old. Aiyoo.. so fast ah... After experiencing the 2 elderly boys, I know really tiring to look after a baby who just learn how to walk. Being a mother not easy ya and being a 3 kids mum even harder...
