12 Months Old

December is Aidan’s birthday month. PaPa and MaMa took Aidan to join the playgroup in Gymboree as we wanted to stimulate his motor development. He was in level 3 play class and enjoyed the classes and playing with teacher Payne. He was more active after taking few classes, e.g he tried to climb up to sofa. Apart from the learning from playgroup, he made friend with Takumi.
PaPa and MaMa are used to have Christmas Eve worship in church. 2007 was a special year as Aidan was 1 year old and he had a “嬰兒奉獻禮”. Thanks God. Aidan is a gift from God. He brings us a lot of joys and makes our life fruitful although we had difficult times since MaMa had been confirm to be pregnant. We experience God to lead us to walk through those difficult. More challenges are waiting ahead but we enjoy the parenting life.

Auntie Doris and Uncle Marco had a home trip in HK during Christmas holidays. We had a gathering at home. We did a lot of sharing including the parenting experience.


Besides, we had family gathering. Both grandfathers came to have big Christmas dinner and celebrate Aidan's birthday at home. Aidan got birthday gifts from uncles and aunties. Another good new from Auntie Carmen, she was pregnant.

The few days Christmas holiday is a busy week. We had gone to the church wedding ceremony on 24th for Auntie Sin Yi and wedding banquet on 29th . PaPa and MaMa decided to take Aidan joining the banquet because wedding should be once for a life and important to Uncle Johnson. Aidan will have many birthday celebrations going forward in his life.

Apart from the gathering and gifts, Aidan got greetings from the colleagues of PaPa and the Nillie's family from US.

The birthday gift from PaPa and MaMa is a set of pictures taking in studio.

At 1 year old, Aidan could say “BaBa”, “MaMa”, “Mum Mum”(food/drinking)and do chapping. He could do waving and 請請 occasionally. Auntie Girlie said he could say “爺爺” but MaMa hadn’t heard of it. Aidan would touch his head when we asked “Where is your head?” However, eating was a problem. He ate less on Sat and Sun. He used to Auntie to do the feeding. He ate and slept less on holidays especially, we stayed outside.

11 Months Old

An evening around 10pm on 1 November 2007, Aidan rolled over on the PaPa & MaMa bed to the floor. MaMa was in the bedroom at the moment but she couldn't take good care of Aidan. His head hit on the his baby bed before falling on the floor. His upper lip was bleeding right after and we took him to Sanatorium & Hospital. Luckily, Aidan's upper lip was hit by his teeth and he hadn't had any abnormal reaction. He played, ate and slept as usual at the day after.

Aidan could crawl and standing withhold the playpen. His favored games were putting things in mouth, hitting the drum, pulling something from box, holding the remote control.

The most quiet time is watching the "Baby you can read" DVD. It only takes about 30 minutes. Auntie Girlie may do the cooking while he is watching DVD.

Aidan was first time playing on the grasses. He was hesitated to touch or step on grasses. He was used to the feeling in touching the grasses.

Auntie June and Uncle Carlos cam to visit Aidan. They enjoyed in playing and chatting.

By the end of Nov 2008, Aidan could stand from sitting post withhold something by himself. He was teething the 5th tooth. Aidan’s eczema was on and off to be occurred although MaMa had followed the instruction from Dr Leung and the allergic test, not to giving him any high or median reaction food to him.

A colleague of MaMa referred a Chinese Doctor in Causeway Bay to Aidan. We went to see the doctor on Sat. The doctor was really in bad temper. During the 10 minutes consultant, he blamed MaMa because she didn’t know to take care Aidan and the caring during pregnancy. MaMa really wanted to debate with him but he could had a good observation and medicine from the past experience by the colleague of MaMa. Aidan was told not to eating fish and drinking juice. His eczema was improved after taking 1 month medicine and following the instruction from doctor. We only saw the doctor 4 times as MaMa knew he didn’t want to see Aidan and also MaMa didn’t want to have hard time from him as well.

MaMa started a new job on 23 Nov 2008. MaMa didn't miss anything except the nursery room at the basement. Going to the room twice a day when she returned to work from maternity leave and once a day around Aidan 9 months old. Without the good facilities, MaMa couldn’t do the BF after the maternity leave.
