I think I am going to strike jackpot..hehe..1st time ever, Ced cried and jumped up and down when i came to work this morning..Usually, before i left house, he would wave and smile at me..but today is a different scene all together :) I had to admit, he melted my heart away..

Cedric - 15 months

Ced is now 15months old. Another scene at his paediatrician's room again..hehe..He dislikes doc & nurse to touch him, needless to say removing his clothing and pampers to be measured & weighed!! :) Everytime, he will fuss and cry until the jab is finalized. This time, he slapped his paed, grabbing and pulling the measuring tape away and best of all knows how to scold people already..So far, lil kaikai is progressing well and fine - very important to me that he keeps his health healthy!! Thank God for blessing my darling kaikai. Food wise and to keep him on table while mommy & daddy eat is much more easier now as he can share our food. But then, now he has been promoted to toddler title, no longer baby anymore...he is difficult to handle. Sleeps lesser, wants to play when he is not sleeping - and i mean real playing all the time to the extend of refusing to sleep. It is so much tiring now as his hobby now is to crawl & walk to everywhere he wants and to touch anything he is curious about :) He is fast so we need to follow up and is really draining our energy.

Cedric has developed a new temperamental behaviour which is screaming. Oh well, he no longer afraid of my scolding and beating as each time i do, he no longer cries..hehe...in fact, he scolds me in return..not in words but shout..haha...He is a very cranky boy as he wants his way. Refusing or obstructing him means war with him..haha..Denying him on whatever he wants, means end up I have to face his struggling and crying and screaming endlessly..is getting difficult to coax him as he is smarter now.

When he was about 9 mths old, he had flu and cough. Resulting him difficult to sleep during night time. He would wake in the middle of the nights crying. Since then, after he recovered, he still continues to wake in the middle of the nights screaming and crying. Before that, he was a good sleeper throughout the night. But now, it is a nightmare when comes to night time. On better nights, he will only wake once or not severe crying, on bad nights, he will wake a few times a night. I won't have enough rest and sleep too :)

Since he is a colicky child, some elders advice to cut off gassy food for him and to apply medicated oil before sleeps and to give him chinese gas relieve powder. Tried and it seemed to improve a little. He either sleeps throught the night or cries once. Still, not a good sleeper as I can hear him tossing and turning alot. It has been awhile, every night I will give him his milk bottle on my bed and allow him to sleep by himself on my bed. Once he asleeps, will move him to his cot.

Googled some info on night baby crying and downloaded a story titled "How I Behave Today?" - plan to read to him every night before bed while lil kaikai is in his cot. Hope by letting him sleep by himself on his own cot will help him sleeps by himself without crying for mama at night. Hope when April comes, things will improve!!
