One Month to 18

Ian turns 17 months today!

Unfortunately, he had a fever yesterday evening. When his nanny informed us at 6 plus, we quickly made our way home to pick him up and visited Dr Goh right away. Since the nanny said he was having a diarrhoea as well, Dr Goh diagnosed that the fever had to do with it and there was no worry for vomitting. Fortunately, Ian recovered fully today after a few doses of panacetamol. He also did not pass any motion for the whole day even though we did not feed him the medicine for diarrhoea.

During the doctor's visit, Ian had his vital stats checked again. As of 17 months, he weighs 12.4kg and stands at 84cm tall. We are pleased that he has finally crossed the 12kg mark, after remaining stagnant at 11kg for the past months. Our efforts to feed him more food has finally paid off.

Budding Artist?

We made a trip down to Ikea this afternoon to source for a table for Ian. We finally chose a white table to go with the colours of our home. At the same time, we also bought a stack of drawing papers for Ian to doodle on, as I have already prepared a pack of Crayola crayons for him from a recent spree at Joann.

We did not buy the matching chairs with the table, because Ian's cousin Terrin has passed down 2 children chairs.

Back at home, Daddy eagerly assembled the table and let Ian sat at the table to start his artworks. Ian drew all over, from the paper to the table. He appears to love drawing straight on the table! Although the crayons were washable, we found that some of the stains could not be totally gotten rid of. :(

Bye Bye Music Class

Today marked the last lesson at Kindermusik, which Ian has been going since he turned one. He obviously enjoyed going there for the balls and friends. However, that also meant we had to rush from class to class on Saturdays. After some deliberation, we had decided to give up his music lessons and we believe that whatever else that Ian may be doing, he will enjoy it with his cheery nature.

Stacking Rings

A Train For...Ahem...Ian

Our shopping 'therapy' is at work again. While shopping for another kid's present, we came across this toy - Thomas Big Loader - that looked pretty interesting. It appeared to be going for a discount, and hence, we bought it for Ian to play with later.

When we got home, Daddy eagerly opened up the box to assemble the tracks. While we enjoyed watching the action, Ian was equally eager to dismantle everything on it!

For the time being, the toy is back into the box again, until Ian is a little bigger to appreciate the fun of it.
