Little Drummer Dylan

Dylan's walking!

Yes I managed to catch him on my HP today! 6days short of 11months old mark he could walk! But he still needed help to stand up but he's walking pretty firmly. I thought he was speeding through.. but could pause and stare at the tele for a few moments. These are captured within 30sec or so.
Video1 - 1st video of him walking towards to the window and pausing to watch Ze Frank on tele.


Video2 - He could manage a left turn, I thought it's pretty well done! :)


Video3 - The little tele baby walking towards the tele


Video4 - Still so glued to the TV.. OMG

Crib party

Past few weeks, small one was having cold/cough. Took him about 2-3wks to recover... guess he is now ok, just me I probably caught it from him. He has been quite a handful, more playful than Shawn and more attention seeking obviously! Anyway last night he slept at 8pm and then came the exciting part... He was having crib party from 1-3am. I cannot recall how many times I picked him up, smacked him on the buttocks and tell him to sleep. He just refused. When I put him on the bed, he went to disturb YT, stood up at our headboard and just played around. Ugggh... drove me nuts. In the end I think Dylan gave up and finally slept at about 3am. Makes me a panda today! I did put teething gel on him. I suppose he is cutting 4 teeth at a time and that caused him pain. Poor thing yea... anyway, hope tonight he would be better and be good to us!

Little "LOUD" Dylan

Last week I brought this little guy to the dr for his 4th/6th month old jab & Rotavirus dose(while he's turning 8months in a few days time). This fellow screamed his head off and cried so loudly that I could not hear the nurse/doctor talking to me after the scream. Yes, there were 2 jabs, left and right thighs before the sweet Rotavirus medic was dripped down his throat. It was silence for awhile before he continued screaming again. I remembered it was almost 15min before he calmed down, sniffing away angrily at me! Poor kid.

Apart from the jab, he's doing well. The GP clinic didn't have the kiddo weighing machine so they used a digital weighing machine to measure the absolute weight from the delta of mine+his weight together. Well, the reading was close to a 10kg, just 0.1kg short of that. So he's 9.9kg (abt 97% percentile), 71cm in height (abt 90% percentile) and head measuring at 46cm (abt 90% percentile).

Recently he has started fruits and vege puree in school. At home, I'm stuck to cereals for dinner or fruits as they are most convenient. Today I tried avocado and it works wonder. He loved it and had half of it. I scraped off the fruit and fed directly to him. He's trying on his stubby little fingers on finger food i.e. stars. He is still trying very hard to stuff the little star into his mouth. When he gets impatient, he would grunt and let out a loud sigh and whine. I need to get him to practice more often on his fine motor skills.

Today, he has another surprise for us. I left him in the playpen while mum and I were getting dinner ready. The next moment I peeped into the room, he was standing up holding the edge of the playpen! He must have knelt on his knees (which I saw him doing that past few days), and managed to propped himself (probably by shaking) to hold on the edge of the playpen. His eyes barely reach the edge of the playpen. So well done to little Dylan! Hooray!
