Some people are just plain MEAN

Last night, my 14-year old Pomeranian “Crystal” took a short walk outside the house on her own. As she is so old, she can’t go far, so we let her be for a short while before calling her back in.

She was out longer than usual and refused to return when hubby called her. As he walked out to bring her back, the neighbour living opposite our house threw a shoe at Crystal just because she was outside his gate. Sad, isn’t it, especially when he has 2 dogs of his own.

My husband said, “Do you mind, that’s my dog?” and all the neighbour could muster was “Oh is that so, I thought it was a stray dog”. Come on lah, even though it was close to midnight, any fool worth half his weight in salt would know that there is no such thing as a stray Pomeranian. Mongrels yes but any purebreds left on the streets would have been picked up immediately.

He did come out and apologise profusely, both to hubby and Crystal.

Sheesh, some people are just so sick!

Does your other half read your blog?

Don’t know about everyone else but my other half religiously reads my posts. If you have noticed, my original post is usually poorly composed and after a couple of days (or weeks if hubby is busy), it gets spruced up with the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed.

Does that make me lucky?

He likes…

• He likes to play “wa-wa” which basically involved tapping the palm of our hand gently against his mouth. This trick is very useful because Brae will immediately stop crying and say “waa..waa..wa..wa..waa….”

• He likes to put everything he can grab into his mouth.

• He likes to poo during his meals.

• He likes to watch TV. His head will automatically turn towards the direction of the closest TV when we have dinner outside.

• He likes car rides, especially when the car is moving. He will doze off when the car moves and start to wake up and cry when the car stops.

• He likes to cry for attention (most of the time with no tears) when no one is around him.

• He likes to be carried or seated in the forward-facing carrier so that he can look around.

• He likes to rub his feet. According to the old folks, babies who like to rub their feet are stubborn and naughty.

• He likes to grab and pull mummy’s hair when he sleeps at night.

• He likes to beat his hands against the table when he is seated.

Videos – *Cute* gestures

Brae loves car ride. The funny thing is that he will doze off only when the car moves faster. When the car stops, he will start to cry. Just like daddy, he likes fast ride!

Brae is starting to roll over now. However, he can only roll over from front to back.

Whenever he starts his meal, he will poo. This video shows his funny faces that he makes when he poos!

Six-month milestones

Six months…..time flies so fast. I can’t believe that our little boy is now half way through toddlerhood. Brae has been growing very well indeed, although his weight gain fluctuated throughout the six months. Nevertheless, we are glad that he gained 1kg since he started semi-solid food. He has turned out to be a gorgeous, chubby, little handsome boy, using his *winning smile* to charm all the people he sees. I am blessed that he has never fallen ill, not even the slightest cold or flu (touch wood) in the past months. I hope it is partly due to breastfeeding.

I want to highlight some of Brae’s achievements and milestones during the 1st six months. Better get it written down before we forget.

Weight: 8.8 kg

Height: 70 cm

According to the midwife, Brae will turn out to be a tall boy, just like his daddy. His height and weight are balanced well.
