Being a parent is not easy..

Having a premature baby is even harder..

Its really depressing to hear someone commenting ur baby how small he look or how useless if he is not taking some food so well as other babies do. Its even sadder to see other babies same mth but so much heavier than mine..

I hate ppl comparing my baby to other babies.. I try not to.. Sighzz.. I know my son is not taking apple quite well but dun say him useless k?

:(

Last Mon went KKH, Dr Quek gave me a questionnaire which has to be done during Craydon's 8mth old to see if he is doing the activity regularly and test his motor skills..

Most of them I realise Craydon is doing it now..

- If u call to ur baby when u r out of sight, does he look in the direction of ur voice - YES!

- When a loud noise occurs, does ur baby turn to see where the sound came from - YES!

- Does ur baby make sounds like "da" "ga" "ka" "ba" - YES!

- If u hold both hands just to balance him, does ur baby support his own weight while standing - YES!

- Does ur baby reach for a crumb or Cheerio and touch it with his finger or hand - YES!

- Does ur baby try to pick up a crumb or Cheerio by using his thumb and all his fingers in a raking motion, even if he isn't able to pick it up - YES!

- Does ur baby pick up small toys with only one hand - If pacifier counted, YES!

- Does ur baby pick up a toy and put it in his mouth - YES!

- While lying on his back, does ur baby play by grabbing his foot - YES!

- When in front of a large mirror, does ur baby reach out to pat the mirror - YES! And he even uses his forehand to gently bang his mirror image.

My boy is 5mth corrected age now and he can do all the above I mentioned here.. I m very proud of him although he is still very much underweight.. :)

Last Mon, we took Craydon to KKH for a 3mthly PD appt.. Glad to know he is putting weight slowly after his bad cough.. He is 6.55kg at 6.5mth now.. But according to his 5mth corrected age (counted from the actual EDD he supposed to be born), he is 25-50 percentile.. :) And he passed all his motor skill test!! Dr Quek kept praising him!! keke..

Now instead of crawling forward, he will move backwards and he rotate!! hahhaaa!! Dr Quek said he is like a helicopter.. :P He also grabbing things and put into his mouth.. He know how to take out the pacifier from his mouth and stuff it back to his mouth!! Now we r feeding him frisocrem cereal recommended by my fren Melissa and he started to appreciate it.. And evening time, we feed him porridge.. He dun really like porridge and tend to make alot of noise and refuse to sit up to be fed.. Quite an attitude boy I can say.. hahahhaa..

Anyway I received an email from a long lost fren.. Ah Khan!!! Really really miss the time we work together in our ex company!!

An extract from her email "haha, still remember the good old days, when after 6pm we would lock up the place, take out the peanut biscuits to eat and read xiaxue's blog.. Ok, do keep in touch yea!"

Yaaa.. Those days were crazy.. I was much younger then..
