Jordan at 2 Months
A couple of days ago, I came back to work. So quickly, 2 months had passed and it so happened to be Jordan’s 2 month checkup as well. Jordan is now 6.3kg, 3 kg heavier than his birth weight and stood at 58cm. At 2 months, Jordan still sleeps a lot. He wakes in the morning around 7.30am, I’ll nurse him and let him sit around in the bouncer. He loves attention and will smile lots if I’m sitting next to him and talking to him but if I move around doing things, he will call me loudly, ahh ahh when he runs out of patience. At this stage, Josiah…

When To Give
Growing up, we are taught to give during special occasions, birthdays, Teacher’s day, Mother’s day, Christmas etc. These are important times we learn to part with something of value to us and give it to another to make them happy.

Halal Food Ask to Add Pork
I was just shopping at Giant when I saw this interesting product. I took it down, coz it says Kueh Chap. Kueh Chap in my knowledge in Sarawak is a kind of noodle cooked with lots of pork parts. Upon checking the box I noticed that it is a Halal Product, supposedly approved by the Islamic Committee Office of Thailand. Then I read the instructions in poor English and lots of typo and noticed that it advised to ‘add pork!’ How inappropriate of a Halal product! Granted, the Kueh Chap is just noodles, but hhm, still, I’d say be careful to read labels if you’re Muslim.

Hospitalised for Acute Bronchiolitis
Last Sunday morning, Jordan started developing flu and cough most probably passed on from Josiah who had it for a while. After asking a few people, they discouraged from visiting a doctor since Jordan is only 1.5 months old and there aren’t any meds for a sick infant. So we waited out until Day 3, but his cough only got worse, and it was getting abnormal where he would cough uncontrollably continuously and his breathing was really short. On Tues afternoon, Jessy made a visit and told me she could hear him wheezing. She was pretty concerned and that caused me to be extra concerned about it, and John also…
