piano or laptop?

Yes he's a boy all right... loving the gadgets and electronics :)

an apple a day

He loved his apple at 4 months.... and still loves it now.

happy chappy!

3rd tooth broke through!

Bub was extremely sooky and super clingy today and we soon found the culprit... 3rd tooth! It's the left upper incisor. Too difficult to get a shot now; we'll try later.

playmate!

They meet at the corridor some afternoons and chase each other...awwwwww!

happy birthday mummy!

We went to Long Yin restaurant at le Meridien (where Hugh got a kiss from a 14-month old girl) for dim sum...



and cut Mummy's cake at home.

asparagus is good for you

Seems he likes asparagus

browsing?

Hugh's checking out the Volvo XC60...think he likes it?

learning to drink from cup

Hugh attempted to drink from his Tommee Tippee no-spill cup today. He's doing a pretty good job. Takes a sip...




has a breather and a laugh...




and takes another sip.

giving the incredible hulk a run for his grunts!

It's likely that Hugh is going through one of his growth spurts as he sleeps so little and is often hungry the last couple of days. Mummy pureed some blueberries and apples to mix in with his oatmeal which Daddy was doubtful would be well received by the little one but he scoffed it all down and had a second helping!

itchy teeth or gums?

Whether it's the side of the cot...




the chocolate milk packet...




or the ropes of Mummy's pants, they all go into the mouth!

making progress

Hugh can stand supported by the lounge now...although having said that, he turned around and fell...followed by wailing of course! :)




What's he up to here?

toy for a boy

When Mummy went to collect the Audi Q5, Hugh found something to entertain himself with at the Audi office.

timber!

Still not steady when sitting by himself.

water baby

...and the surprise is... (Drum roll)

Nana, Uncles Simon and Peter, Aunties Liesa, Flick and Peita, Cousins Rhys, Eli, Georgie and Rivers... I'm coming to see you with Daddy and Mummy next month!

he loves his ball

This is a great item from Ikea. Soft toy ball that's easy for babies to grab onto. Needless to say Hugh loves it!

morning after

The meds did wonders. Other than dried up, scabby nostrils Hugh is looking and feeling well...but he still needs time to cheer up :)

boo-hoo!

The day after he turns 8 months, Hugh came down with flu. Poor fella had teary eyes and a runny nose. It was a very long night and no one got any sleep. The next morning his temperature went up to 38.3C.

He was brought to see Dr Brian at Australian Family Care and for the rest of the day he was whingy and slept no more than 2 hours. However, he had a good sleep from 9pm to 7.45am, waking only once for a feed at 4am. The following day saw him in better spirits and full of energy! Phew!

s is for spaghetti

Hugh had his first spaghetti with tomato sauce dinner yesterday and he loved it!
