another dinosaur outfit

This is Hugh's 2nd outfit with Dinosaurs on it. Yup, our family is fascinated with them. Mummy will definitely watch Jurassic Park 1,2 & 3 with him when he's old enough. Seems Mr Spielberg is making a part 4 due out in 2010 and hopefully there'll be a part 5 in the future too!

orang singapura

 Today Mummy collected my passport and citizenship certificate. I'm officially a Singaporean now!

hugh couture

This is Mummy's favourite outfit from Oz so Daddy decided to let me pose in it even though they weren't gonna take me anywhere...boo-hoo!

At the moment I can only do headshots and full length still shots; will take me another year -probably- before I can go on the catwalk. However, anyone interested can book me now for next year's fall collection :)

hang loose

See if you can guess whose feet these are :)

goodies from oz

Yesterday was like Christmas!

Daddy's company's driver, Rajesh, finally went to the post office to collect a parcel from Australia for me.

It contains so many wonderful gifts from my family from down under. There are 2 story books and 3 stuffed toys - a kangaroo (of course!), a possum and a ...gorilla! I also found some cool clothes which I can't wait to show them off although some of them are a tad bit too large for me right now.

Thank you very much Nana, Aunty Liesa, Aunty Flick, Uncle Peter and cousin Rivers!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have some milk so that I can fit into those clothes!

afternoon at creek park

Hugh had his first picnic at the Creek Park yesterday but slept through most of it. His buddy Keeanu (seen in photo here) at least had the decency to wake up for his picture taken :)

Everyone else was awake chatting, eating, drinking and simply enjoying the recently cooled weather. Yipppie, winter is finally approaching!

bath time

Hugh likes his bath or so we think just because he's always calm and quiet in the water. Take him out and he starts to wail though.

His bath usually involves shampooing his hair and then body washing which includes every single inch of his tiny, growing body. Special attention is also given to the "special" area down under. While he is perfectly safe since we got him the bath support, he'll still grab your arm real tight almost pinching. As long as he's well manicured we're ok with it.

Can't wait to take him to the pool and the Dreamland Aquapark!

milkman of human kindness

Hugh is reliant on mum to keep him supplied with milk.

Mummy's milk defends against all manner of diseases whilst supplying all his nutrient and calorific needs.

Some mums for whatever reason can't supply bub with milk so in Australia and Singapore (amongst others) there are Milk Donors, who like blood donors give milk so other little babies can have the benefit of breast milk.

Hugh isn't leaving any milk to be donated at the moment, busting through the 4 Kg mark this week.

bum up

This is how Hugh likes to sleep but we're so scared of Sids that we forbade him to sleep this way unless we're next to him during his nap time.

bub up

Hugh is no longer a premie - he would have been born yesterday if he could have waited the additional 5 weeks.

No more excuses son, -get that hair cut and clean your room.

he ponders

My questions to you.

Do I have kneecaps?

What size are my eyes?

They are trick questions

vitamin s

Hugh likes to sleep during the day so we haven't had a lot of time for blogging.

The last two nights he has actually slept through from 7pm till 12pm which is like a dream (literally).
We tried to change his pattern but he cried like a banshee and we caved in.
We are trying to inch back some control from the little bugger now.

Thought :
If Gripe water was selling for $100 dollars we would probably still buy it.

blythe spirit

Stock market plunged 10% today. Soup lines are forming.
Follow Hugh's lead and relax.

conclusive proof of laughter

According to Aud this is proof positive Hugh is laughing. Aunty Cheryl will agree.

i still think it's wind

first moon

Hugh is one month old today.

He celebtrated by going to Yum Cha and was the youngest customer at Da Shi Dai. He had Mummy's breast milk ...of course!

In the evening Daddy, Mummy and Grandma sang a song for him and cut his chocolate gatteau and had his red eggs (made into sandwiches) for dinner.

It was a rather quiet Full Moon celebration but he didn't complain.

smile like you mean it

Aud thinks Hugh is smiling in this clip.The Killers might agree :)

Andy's theory: Humans are 80% water , babies are 80% wind , 10% milk and 10% waste material.
