Calling Daddy

I could not remember the day when Aleric could first pronounce Papa though not clearly. Nowadays, he could pronounce it quite clearly if I prompt him too.

However, today was the first time he called me Papa without me prompting him. : )

Mrs Birthday Month

After celebrating Aleric’s birthday last month, we celebrated Mrs’s birthday this month. The family also don the Brazil jerseys to participate in World Cup 2014 fever on Sunday.

 

 

I was on leave on Monday and the family shopped and dined at Nex. We also managed to grab the one-for-one Starbucks frappe before heading to Ikea to purchase Aleric’s highchair which was on offer. 

 

Ideal Salary

Yahoo Singapore posted an interesting article that Singaporean believe that $6K is the ideal monthly salary in Singapore given the cost of living in the nation-state based on a survey by Job Street. Any view on it?

The average Singapore monthly salary is $4998, much higher than what I expected though.

This is the laughter you get with Aleric.

Aleric 12th Month Vaccination

This is how anxious Aleric was during his vaccination. 

Aleric Is One Year Old

 

From full month celebration to one year old.

 

Our boy Aleric celebrated his first birthday at home last week.  

Parenthood

There were times when we would be angry with Aleric when he was disobedient and cried when we do not allow him to have his toys/phone. There were countless nights when we had to wake up in the middle of the night to feed and change his diapers. It requires a lot more effort to carry Aleric around even do simple grocery shopping at nearby supermarket. We almost could not even go to haircut together.

However, we always ended up missing him at work daily, scrolling through photos in our phones to see how cute our boy is. We love our boy despite all the tiredness and sacrifices. Aleric is 78cm tall at 11+ month old. He was 51cm during birth, 50% taller now.
