Life with Kimchimon

Last weekend was filled with Kimchimon firsts. Kimchimon celebrated his birthday last month with a big number one foil balloon. It didn't get deflated until yesterday Kimchimon popped it. First balloon popped by Kimchimon. Kimchimon fell sick the week before last with abit of coughing and wheezing and it didn't get better after a week. We brought him back to the doctor's and doctor prescribed him medication to inhale with the nebulizer. This was Kimchimon's first time using the nebulizer. He's surprisingly calm when the clinic assistant put the mask on for him. He completed the treatment without any fussing.  I had decided to let Kimchimon try some soy milk after his dinner. He didn't like it. He pushed the bottle away and looked at me. Hahaha. I guess he prefers his regular milk.  Here's a drawing of Kimchimon. 

Today marks the end of the 10 days of medical leave! But I still have some phlegm. Kimchimon woke up before 8am this morning and 💩 again. So early and so much poop, this Kimchimon. Fed myself some breakfast before giving him some hard boiled egg. He finished all of it and he drank some milk. I made some pork chop for Kimchimon with steamed veggies and blended them to make them easier to eat for Kimchimon. He finished all of it except for some bigger pieces of pork. Kimchimon then had a haircut. Ever since he went to nanny's, I stopped giving him haircuts as Nanny would bring him to the barber's. But now with Covid-19, I think he should stop going there for now. Today's haircut gone quite good, he didn't really struggled and the sides are rather even. Maybe it's because the TV was on. Gave Kimchimon a bath before tucking him in for a nap. Kimchimon woke up around 1.5 hours later most probably due to hunger. He had some milk and he played with his toys....

Day 9 of my medical leave started with Kimchimon 💩 twice in the morning. How can someone so tiny generate so much poop?! Anyway, we cleaned him up, gave him milk and he's a happy baby. We played for a while and I made him chicken veggie stew for lunch. He ate most of it while spitting some of it out, and as he grows we realised he is one old man in a tiny human's body. Too hard, spit it out. Too big, spit it out. 🙄 Kimchimon then took a bath and took a nap while we had lunch. It was already 2pm. Kimchimon went on to play with walker after having milk. He played for some time before he had his pancakes. He spat the pancakes out too 🤜🏼👶🏻. (Don't worry, I didn't literally punch him). He had some banana and drank milk instead. We then prepared Kimchimon for the night. I deviated from the planned menu today as I decided to add some meat in the lunch. He had Abit too much butter so I decided to skip the pasta. Update: Kimchimon just generated more 💩🙄...

In the morning, I  1) washed up after waking up  2) prepared Kimchimon's salmon veggie porridge. 3) Finished breakfast before Kimchimon woke up.  4) Fed Kimchimon some banh bao that I made yesterday. 5) Play time with Kimchimon In the afternoon while feeding Kimchimon lunch, he choked and vomited some porridge. He scared me for a bit. After which, he managed to eat most of the porridge; which was good. I then proceed to clean up after Kimchimon and swept the floor before giving Kimchimon a bath. Nap time for Kimchimon! Sadly I can't nap, the weather is too warm. 🥵 Tea time for Kimchimon consists of bread and banana after he woke up. This lasted him till dinner time. He's supposed to have some banh bao for dinner. But I guess there's too much bread in a day. He spat them out. Tsk. He had milk instead. Then I had dinner and prepared Kimchimon for the night. PS. Kimchimon is 4 now and he still choke on his food. We realized he was eating too fast a...

Day 6 and 7 of Medical Leave My 5 days of medical leave finally came to an end last Saturday. But I have yet to recover fully. I was therefore asked to go home when I went back to work on Monday. I went to the doctor's again and got slapped with another 5 days of medical leave 😰 Since I'm at home, Kimchimon stays home with us too for this week. Here's this week's meal plan. He woke up at 6.30am and refused to go back to sleep until 8am 🙄. He woke up later towards lunch time and had his brunch of sweet potato pancakes with omelette. Before giving the baby a bath, I made the bread dough and left it to rise. While the baby is napping, I had lunch and baked the bread.  Baked banh bao. The baby woke up while the bread was baking. Not long after baking the bread, it's time to make dinner for Kimchimon. Turns out he don't like the minestrone pasta soup. Tsk. So I took some bread and dip in the soup for this Kimchimon and he finished it. 🙄 ...

Stylo Milo baby  Day 5 of Medical Leave Day 5 coincides with the weekend. During the weekends, Kimchimon don't go the to Nanny's. He woke up at 7am this morning. Yawns. And he didn't want to sleep anymore. We gave him some milk and he played on the bed. He stared into blank space suddenly and a stench came out 🤢. He had just poo poo-ed. We cleaned him up and I went to make his porridge (of course I washed my hands).  He then had some bao and bread for breakfast but didn't want to eat his porridge during lunch. 🙄😡. He munched on the porridge for a bit and spat it out. We gave him some milk, bathe him and he napped. But only for a bit. When my friend, Lorraine came over, he woke up. Lorraine came over to return my baby shaver and also to pass me some toys. We chatted for quite a bit before she went home. Kimchimon did the same thing for dinner too. Turns out he's just being naughty. He ate some of the dinner eventually and we gave him some milk. Then...

Bear Guy is looking after his crazy kid. #lifeofaparent Today is also the day that Kimchimon turns 13 months old. Time flies so fast. Happy 13th month my Kimchimon. It's a good weather to sleep today as it was raining since early morning. I woke up even later than yesterday and it felt good. In the morning, 1) I had kaya toast for breakfast and watched some TV.  2) Washed Kimchimon's bottles. 3) Made soup stock for Kimchimon Then I had lunch while watching 逃跑吧好兄弟. Later part of the afternoon I napped for abit and cleaned the washroom. At 4pm, I watched the Prime Minister made a statement regarding the Covid-19 situation. Earlier today, Nanny called to ask if we could bring Kimchimon home earlier. The husband will bring Kimchimon home soon.

Day 3 of Medical Leave After 2 days at home, Petite Guy is exhausted, so he's enjoying a massage by Haro.  Day 3 was rather uneventful. Caught up with my sleep today, sleeping a little bit later compared to yesterday. I woke up and had some vegetarian bee hoon for breakfast. Watched more TV and fixed my blanket. It's finally free of holes!  In the afternoon, I trimmed my eyebrows with my new eyebrow trimmer and fixed another fella. Meet Bear Guy (apparently the husband has many of them) 🙄 Bear Guy with Petite Guy I think it looks like Kimchimon and me. This Bear Guy kept me entertained for a few hours.  Bear Guy holding his baby Bear Guy chasing his crazy boy. (I think that would be me in a few years time) After which, I napped a bit more and now waiting for Kimchimon to come back from Nanny's.

Day 2 of My Medical Leave Day 2 of medical leave was just a normal day at home enjoying the time without Kimchiimon. Petite guy is starting his day with some yoga. Meanwhile the hubby had already sent Kimchimon to nanny's and we had finished breakfast.  Yesterday's update: the noisy fan is no longer noisy. 🥳🥳🥳 During the morning I... 1) Did Kimchimon's laundry and napped for a bit.  2) Swept the floor and wiped the window sill 3) Tidied up Kimchimon's toys 4) Failed to make some onion powder ( they turned out burnt) In the afternoon, I had my lunch and i felt so bored. Nanny called awhile ago before lunch to inform us that Kimchimon had a fall while he was playing. He cried a little then he stopped. Let's see how he is when he comes back. Just finished fixing a Haro (he's doing some puppeteering): Evening came and the hubby had just went to fetch Kimchimon and I'm catching up with some TV time until he comes back.
