The Heartwarming Adventures of Little Ernest

Little Indiana Jones

2010-04-05T05:15:00.011+08:00

Hello! This is me running around in the common corridor of my home in Karlskrona, Sweden. I'm now a happy 20 month old little Indiana Jones exploring new lands, searching for new fun things to play with.

Studio photoshoot

2009-07-06T04:26:00.019+08:00

Hello! Daddy and mummy took me to take some photos before my first year birthday, and here they are! Do I look adorable? Thanks to Uncle Sean and Aunty Adelena from Sean Lau Photography.

So tired again

2009-07-06T04:14:00.003+08:00

Another rare moment in my growing up days, as I was caught falling asleep. Could be the background music...like a lullaby...so sleepy....can't keep my eyes open...zzzzzzz

Walker Adventure

2009-07-06T03:59:00.004+08:00

Hi guys, daddy found a few videos of me using the walker for the first few times. It was fantastic! I was able to go anywhere, anytime. But if I became tired, I still have daddy to carry me, hahaha..

So tired again

2009-07-05T05:53:00.002+08:00

Another moment of tiredness, this time in daddy's super comfortable car.

Standing

Complaining

2009-07-05T04:13:00.003+08:00

Look at me complaining to daddy. I was telling him so many things, but he just didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and even began filming me because he found it funny. Frustrating..

Crying

2009-07-05T04:06:00.003+08:00

Like the sleeping video, daddy filmed me crying. He says that he'll get to show me how I cried like a baby, and so that he can remember stuff I did as a baby, haha..

So sleepy

2009-07-05T03:52:00.003+08:00

Here's a video of me falling asleep. Daddy waited very long before he had a chance to film this. So tired... *yawn..zzZ*

Here's a video of me laughing happily at what grandma was doing. (April)

Still, better late than never, so have fun reading!

Baby Fair 09

2009-04-23T23:40:00.004+08:00

Hello everyone! Daddy and mummy took me to the Baby fair, where we saw Mrs Wong from Thomson Medical! She only met me for the first time face to face, because she taught mummy prenatal lessons, so I heard her voice before! She then asked mummy and I to participate in this baby exercise. Can you see us enjoying ourselves?

Valentine's day 09

2009-04-23T23:17:00.006+08:00

Daddy took mummy out on Valentine's day. Even though I did not know what the fuss was about, I decided to tag along, since I did not want to be at home alone, keke. Daddy took mummy to this place called Swensen's. Mummy was very happy, and so was I. It was my first visit to the airport, and I loved taking the train!

My first Rusk!

2009-04-23T23:13:00.004+08:00

Hello! The long awaited photos of my first CNY are out! It was a busy few days for me, as I went around the place visiting and saying HI for the first time to many relatives.

Reunion Dinner 09

2009-01-25T23:53:00.006+08:00

I had my first reunion dinner today! Yum yum.. I had milk, keke. I think its better than what the adults had. I waited patiently for all of them to finish their dinner before I got Grandpa and Uncle Freddie to play with me. I also received my first ang pows from Granny, Grandaunt, and great-granny. I don't know what's that, but I wasn't going to let go of it when mummy wanted to keep it for me. Seems like I really liked the red paper, hehe.

Japan Sweet Potato

2009-01-25T23:34:00.011+08:00

This is me tasting my first Sweet Potato mummy bought for me. It comes from Japan! Mummy prepared this delicious meal for me by herself. It was very hard work! Thanks mummy!

Mummy took great pains to find out how she can start me weaning and tasting my first solid food. She even taught me how to use my first spoon a few weeks before by letting me practise drinking water with it. Slurp slurp! Finally, I'm ready for my first solid food, and luckily daddy was there to feed me too! Thanks mummy for this great meal! It's so delicious, can I have more? Yum yum!

Marina Barrage

2009-01-18T00:28:00.004+08:00

Playchair

2009-01-18T00:20:00.003+08:00

Daddy's company gave us this gift when I was born, but he only recently let me play with it when I showed him I could hold my head steady. Can you see me discovering my new toy?

I celebrated my first X'mas this year! I first went to Aunty Chiayen and Uncle Ronald's house, where I had the chance to meet up with Jayden! You can see us posing happily for the cameras! I had a gift exchange with him too. I gave him a chocolate teether, and he gave me a playmat. How nice, thanks Jayden!

I also went to Great-grandma's house for gift exchange. I had some great gifts, and everyone took turns to carry me. I will post the photos when I get them from Uncle Sean, hehe.

East Coast Parkway

2009-01-16T23:21:00.008+08:00

Car Seat

2009-01-16T23:03:00.008+08:00

Hi! This is me, sitting in this fantastic carseat in daddy's car! Daddy told me that the first time he put me in this seat, I cried like he just put me on a hot stove... Anyway, that's because the seat and I are strangers. Now that I've the seat and I are best friends, I love sitting and following daddy and mommy all over the place. I feel so safe.

My Cousin Zondus!

2009-01-16T22:33:00.005+08:00

Hello! This is a photo of my cousin Zondus! He arrived on 1 Dec 08, at Mount Alvernia Hospital! He's really very cute. Now I've have someone to play with, heehee.

I'm on TV!

2008-12-14T00:17:00.007+08:00

Mummy was carrying me and walking down orchard road when the crew of the upcoming TV show 'Beauty Files' approached mummy! As they filmed her, they made sure they were able to see my face.. While mummy had to talk about her mummy stuff, all I needed to do was to be mummy's cute baby. At the end of the day, I was quite tired, and fell asleep in mummy's arms. Filming is really tiring, don't you think so?

Daddy's Birthday at the Flyer

2008-12-13T23:45:00.012+08:00

Mummy and I took Daddy to the Singapore Flyer for his birthday celebration. This year is the first time I'm celebrating his birthday, and mummy and I have been planning this for a while. We enjoyed ourselves that day, and I was very happy. While at the flyer, a little girl approached me and wanted to be my friend. When I agreed to play with her, she was overjoyed!

I'm four months old today! As a treat, granny prepared a big drumstick for me to taste, to signify that I will always have good food to eat wherever I go. I wonder how adults get such funny ideas... Anyway I had my first taste of solids today and frankly, I think milk tastes better.

All dressed-up and ready for my first drumstick.

Here it comes!

Wow! its a big drumstick!

Ummph...tastes funny...

Wait a minute...

It actually tastes quite good!

Today is the first day of mummy's new job...She's now a full-time mummy for baby Ernest! Mummy's last day of work was last Friday, and she was very sad as she had told me she would miss many close friends. But though she was sad, at least she has made me very happy! Now I can have mummy's undivided attention until I'm big enough to go for school, yay! Daddy told me that you made a very big sacrifice for me, so I'll be your good boy and not make you angry, ok? Thanks mummy! Muacks! Look at how excited I am in sharing this great news!

Granduncle Lai Heng left us on the 4th of November. Though I've not had many chances of playing with you, I'll always remember the day you carried me on my first visit to Grandma's house.

Mummy's new toy

2008-10-25T20:50:00.003+08:00

Hello! Daddy's just got back from his operation, and is now a little better to help me post this blog! I missed him when he was away, and know that he's back, I'm happy to know he's fine!

Mum was so worried that I'll scratch my face whenever she removes my mittens for me to exercise my fingers that she went to get me this manicure set. She found it so cute she had to show daddy what she got.

Now she can do manicures for my little nails anytime, anywhere, hehe!

Daddy got me this little white...thing to suck out the slimy stuff so that I can sleep better at night! Thanks daddy! He just used it on me and it worked on one side. Everything came out, and it felt sooo good. As for the other side, I have to say it's too sticky, hehehe. Daddy just can't seem to clear it. At the end of the day, the simple tissue did the trick. Thanks daddy, I feel much better now! Daddy is going for an operation for his back tomorrow, mommy is so worried.. Don't worry mommy, daddy will be fine, and he will come back to play with me ok?

Removing my nose's slimy stuff..eeew

2008-10-17T20:28:00.005+08:00

Hi all.. *sniffle* Daddy and mommy brought me to see Dr Toh yesterday, just to be sure my cold wasn't something troublesome. Thankfully, Dr Toh said that all the stuff that's clogging my nose is just in the nasal area, and nowhere else. And, to help me breath better, she asked Nurse Kelly to help remove the stuff in my nose. How did she do it? She inserted a long tube that was attached to a sucking machine into my nose. When she removed the slimy stuff, she proudly showed the stuff to daddy and mommy , and also to Dr Toh, who wanted to be sure whatever inside was not green and bad..

Just a little history, Nurse Kelly is a very nice lady, and together with Nurse Evelyn, her good friend, always help Dr Toh in the clinic. That's what daddy and mommy says. I, however, remember them as the two who made me cry on two ocassions. The first is when they had to draw some blood for some tests. The second is for this time when they helped to remove the slimy stuff in my nose. On both ocassions, I cried like a baby... because I am a baby! Hehe... Anyway, Nurse Kelly was actually afraid that I would not like her because of the two reasons, but I want to tell her its ok as it was for my sake that she had to do it, and also because Dr Toh told her to, so its not your fault, ok?

Daddy and mommy also brought me to see Dr Goh and Nurse Irene (Another nice lady who helps Dr Goh, and helps mommy everytime mommy goes for her checkups). Dr Goh was so happy to see me. Hi Dr Goh, I missed you too. It's been a while since you delivered me and I first laid eyes on you..heehee.

Anyway, I'm fine now. Though the nose is still stuffy, I'm happily playing, feeding and sleeping, so I keep you guys posted when the nose clears! *sniffle*

My first Cold...

2008-10-15T20:37:00.005+08:00

Hello.. I caught my first cold today. *sniffle*. Mom suspected so in the wee hours of the morning when I had difficulty breathing, and was obviously agitated, and that made her so worried! She woke daddy at 5 am, ,and daddy asured her by telling her not to worry. They monitored me for the rest of the day, and dad said he would come back from work to take me to the doctor if need be. *snuffle*. Mom called the hospital later in the morning, and the nurse said that Dr Toh would not be aroud in the afternoon. However, she told mom that she could get some nose drops for me to relieve the congestion, and watch for the mucus to turn green to be sure its a cold. *sniffle*.

*sniffle*. Mom called dad and told him about the nose drop, and daddy went to buy it after work. When daddy reached home, mommy showed him the mucus which she removed and left on the cotton bud. It was green... (eew). Daddy then applied the nose drops for me. I was a good boy and I went to bed early... *sniffle*. Will let you guys know when I get better. Good night...z.z.z..Z.Z.. *snuffle*.

At Raffles Hospital...

2008-10-12T22:23:00.004+08:00

Hello! I said I'll share more of my past two months, so here's one picture of me in Raffles hospital where I was born. I was really small then. I weighed 2.46kg, and was 46cm tall. Daddy and mommy still remembers the first two nights when they were about to sleep, that they will hear a trolley being pushed from the nursery to the wards, and they would wonder if it was my trolley. Chances are, it was me! Hungry for mommy's delicious milk, hehe. I had to learn how to feed too, and it was not easy for both of us. I had a little jaundice, and had be kept under UV lighting. Mommy was looking for me, and found me by the mitten I was wearing. She cried when she saw me...

There were also the moments of my first pee that sprayed onto daddy, and my first few poops. A photo taken with the flash on made daddy worry so much he had to ask the doctor if my eyes were fine.

By the way, the doctor who delivered me was Dr Karolyn Goh, and the baby doctor was Dr Veronica Toh. They are both very beautiful, and I want to thank them both for looking after mommy and me.

I was born on that day under advice from Dr Goh, and before admission, dad brought mom for some maggi goreng and prata at Jalan Kayu. Dad spent the night on a nice single sofa bed beside mom. When mommy's contractions came, the pain became too much for her to bear after two hours, and she requested for epidural. Oh mommy, sorry for the pain... When I finally came out, I cried and cried. Daddy was stunned and forgot to take pictures, and had to be reminded by Dr Goh. Dr Goh also let daddy cut my cord. Once mommy hugged me, I was passed to Dr Toh, and somehow, some blood spilled into her jacket. Oops... Daddy saw her stick this long plastic tube into my nose, and he said he was worried. Haha. Well, after this, I was taken to the nursery for a bath, mom went to the ward, and daddy remained stunned...

Shrieking baby...

2008-10-12T21:47:00.001+08:00

Its now 9:47 on daddy's laptop. Just cried for milk again. I need to confess now that I've been a difficult baby. My cries are like shrieks! And the worse thing is I love to stay awake from 12 am to 3 or 4 am? (Can't remember since I would have drifted off to dreamland...haha). Anyway, mommy had a very hard time looking after me, especially during this period when she has very little sleep because I've been keeping her up throughout the night. Thanks mommy for sacrificing your beauty sleep because of me. I grow up soon and be your good baby, ok! Muacks!

Hello!

2008-10-12T18:32:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone, I am Ernest, and I was born on 29 July. I'm too young to blog, so dad is helping me with the typing. All I need to do is do what I do best, which is being a baby, and dad will do the rest, haha.

Daddy only just set up this blogspot for me, so I'll catch try to catch up with more posts of myself from Day 1, but for now, I'll be blogging on everything I do now, so that I get to see myself growing up when I'm old enough.
