Kai Han aka Kai Kai aka Little Baby aka Hunny


He is the love of my life, more than anything in this world. When he first arrived and was put in my arms, it seems like the time has stopped. I could not think and could not feel anything. Tears just rolled from my eyes... I think this is what they called the tears of joy. I know this is the moment. My moment. It will stay in memory forever...


I named him 凯瀚, which means victory and greatness. I really want him to be someone who is great in whatever he does. More importantly, I want him to be a great person, it doesn't matter whether he is wealthy or not. CK and me like to call him Kai Kai cause that is how he calls himself. Sometimes I call him 'little baby' cause he will always be my little baby. My mom likes to call him Hunny (i.e. Han-ny) cause he is such a honey in her heart.


He's born strong headed. I knew it since the first few days of his life. He refused to latch on to my nipple for breast feeding because he knew that he can drink in abundance from a bottle tit, as compared to my breast. He likes to be praised and loved and resists punishment and accusation. Whatever it is, he is a very loving child. Often times, he will come and stare into my eyes and say 'hug hug', just wanting me to hug him tight (no hidden agenda).


This are some of Kai Han's milestones:

2 weeks -- cord dropped

5 months -- learnt to turn

6 months -- started eating porridge, first time going to a nanny's house

7 months -- could stand by holding on to furnitures, started crawling

10 months -- first steps

16 months -- first word 'car'

20 months -- started calling 'baba'


He is 25 months old now and he has a vocab of about more than 50 words but guess what? He can't call 'mommy'. He calls me 'ah bu' (when we are not even hokkien).


I regretted not starting to write a journal earlier to pen down his first 2 years of life but I guess it's never too late for anything.


I love you, little baby.

The expecting mom

I am 25weeks pregnant now with my second child (can't tell you the sex yet) and counting down to my estimated delivery date (EDD) because my bump is growing bigger and bigger, I am experiencing more pregnancy- related symptoms and most of all, I can't wait to meet my little baby face to face!!! Yes, you still feel excited even if it's not the first one. I am hoping it is a girl so that I can dress her up and buy her lots and lots of toys (e.g. kitchen play set, vanity table etc etc). I want to name her 善宁, meaning kind and peaceful and I will call her ShaSha (sweet name, right? right?). I also hope she will have CK's big eyes, oval shaped face and straight hair and my pouty lips, fair skin and Kai Han's unilateral subtle dimple.
