Khemaka started to walk by himself

28 Dec, Khemaka started to learn walking when he was about 10 months old. I was aspected that he can walk by himself before he turn to one year old. But, he still couldn't walk by himself when he turn to one year one which make me worry.

I started to feed him the ginseng water which according to old people it may help small child to make his legs more stronger.

My mom told me when the time come, he will walk, don't worry too much.

Today, when i came back from work, my mom told me my son can walk by himself for few steps, that's really a good news to me :-)

参加婚礼晚宴

20 Nov,2009-今天晚上是Khemaka第一次参加婚礼晚宴。 我的表妹的婚礼晚宴， 坐落于一间小学的冷气礼堂。。当我得知是冷气礼堂，我和Khemaka爸爸就决定带他去参加这晚宴。。因为我们知道有冷气的地方就没人可抽烟，就无烟味。

可是，我们只待在这晚宴约一小时就走了，因为有人还是在礼堂内抽烟，我真的好生气。其中一个就是我的舅公。。Khemaka爸爸很想去讲他，可是被阻止了原因是他是个长辈。。

长辈就能在冷气房抽烟吗？晚辈就应吸二手烟？

Holding bottle himself

This photo was taken on 18 Oct, 2009. He knew how to hold his bottle few months ago, but he was lazy to hold it. But, this morning, he insisted want to hold his water bottle himself. So, we just let be. He was so happy holding his water bottle himself..

Khemaka失眠了

9 Nov, 2009- Khemaka每晚的睡觉时间是晚上八点半至九点，可是今晚他不知怎么都睡不着。妈咪睡了，他还翻来覆去，睡不着，也没叫妈咪起来。他从来没试过这样夜还没睡觉。约十点半，妈咪醒了，看他没睡，就安抚他睡，他怎么也睡不着。直到爸爸宴会回来，就驾车载他去兜风以让他睡觉。当Khemaka还是Baby时，爸爸妈咪曾经用过这方法来哄他睡觉。
爸爸兜了约半小时，他终于睡着了。唉。。终于大功告成。爸爸妈咪可以休息了。已午夜十二点四十分了。。

Baby Khemaka with Renpoje

July, 2009- This was taken during Khemaka 7 months old. We were happy that we invited the Renpoje, a live Buddha from Tibet to our house for Dana. Baby Khemaka was bless and hold by the Renpoje and Renpoje likes Khemaka very much. Khemaka is a very lucky child.

Papa, Khemaka and cousin

Khemaka playing with his cousin brother Donavan

Khemaka was being invited to attend his cousin brother Donavan's 1 year old birthday party. Khemaka is two months younger than him. Two of them never meet up since Chinese New Year. This video showed how these two little boys shared toys and played together.

This is the look of Khemaka when he is think something. Have u ever seen a 10 months old baby thinking like this before?

After few days Khemaka practiced with this walker, he can stabilize himself walking with this walker. See how happy he is....

I highly recommend to those baby who are learning to walk. This walker is very helpful, it is ready to steady baby’s first steps, encouraging progress with rewarding lights, sounds, and upbeat music. Baby can hop on the lion’s back and ride all around for a roaring good time.

Khemaka started to learn how to walk and always asked us to hold him to walk, so my husband and i decided to buy the Fisher Price Lion walker for him. This video show that how he reacted when he first touched this walker.

妈妈想和爸爸说的话

今天我到常去的洋货店买东西时， 老板娘接了个电话就匆匆忙忙地桌上的药就出去了。老板说他的太太太紧张了，孩子发烧没关系的。。。因我跟他蛮熟的，我说：还好您不是我的先生，哈哈。。。

其实，爸爸呀你们真的不会了解一个妈妈的感受。孩子是从她肚子出来的，十月怀胎，那十个月的每一天都是孩子陪她度过的，孩子感应到妈妈的感受，妈妈的喜怒哀乐；妈妈呢，感应到孩子的摇动，孩子的反应与快乐。。。而爸爸呢，他们感应不到这种互相感应的感受，他们怎么能了解妈妈和孩子的联系呢？

妈妈孩子二合一连体之十月分开了，但她们的母子关系还是紧紧连续，妈妈还是感受得到孩子的喜怒哀乐，孩子的欢喜，孩子的害怕，孩子的不舒服。。。。孩子健康成长是妈妈的安心；孩子不舒服是妈妈的担心；孩子的快乐是妈妈的欢喜心。孩子跌倒，妈妈心疼呀！这。。爸爸能了解吗？

我昨晚静静的宁看着我的宝贝儿子睡觉的样子，我告诉自己我好幸福喔。妈妈的宝贝，谢谢你来到这世界陪伴妈妈 ：-）

Biscuit

21 Sept, 2009- As usual, i will give baby Khemaka a biscuit for him to sit down quietly in his chair. He will chew the biscuit with his 6 tooth slowly. Usually, he couldn't finish the whole biscuit. After tire chewing it, he will throw it away even though i ask him give me that unfinished biscuit. Naughty baby...ai..

But, today he threw his biscuit accidentally under the sofa and he gave me sign to take it for him. So, i asked him " where is your biscuit?", he crawled down and turned his face looking at that sofa and with his hand put under sofa. Wow.. he can understand my question and showed me where the biscuit was. Surprise!

:-) Baby always give surprise to us huh....

Khemaka Chen

When i introduced my baby to my friends, 1st question asked is Khemaka-japanese name? Nope. Khemaka is a name in Sanskrit (Pali) language. i called it Buddhist name. Instead of given English name to him, we decided to give my baby a Buddhist name. But we didn't put Khemaka in his birth cert because we want to give him freedom to choose his own religion when he grow up.

Khemaka is mean peaceful and Security in Pali language. The Bhante (monk) gave this name hope that my baby can bring peace to this world :-)

Sadhu..Sadhu.. Sadhu...

Khemaka快乐的一天

20 Sept,2009.-Khemaka今天好开心。已经有5天没去外婆的家，外婆家就是他的另一间家，每一天我要上班前，就会载他去我妈妈的家，妈妈（他的外婆）就是他的外婆兼保姆。今天我的大弟驾车来载我和Khemaka去我妈妈家玩，虽然妈妈，爸爸还在泰国吉祥岛，可是这孩子还是很开心，因为他可以跟他的舅舅和我的狼狗玩，或许他待在我们的家太久了，去哪儿都开心。

也因他开心，他也比较乖，很听话的吃麦片和睡觉。小孩子就是这样吧。。。

1st day for Flash Card tuition class

19 Sept, 2009- Khemaka attended his 1st day Flash Card tuition class today. I drove along the way to Penang island just to let him attend this class.

There are a lot people asked me why i let baby Khemaka attended tuition class so early? Instead, he is just a 9 months old baby. They thought i am a kiahsu mother.

I was told by professionals that the best learning stage of child is during 0 month old to 3 yrs old. During this time, their brain absorption is the best in this stage. I tried to teach him the flash cards when i brought him back from hospital but he couldn't pay attention. I gave up teaching him after trying for two months which was after i started back to work after 2 months confinement leaves.

I tried to look for a tuition class for flash card but couldn't find one till last three weeks ago i met a friend and she told me about this class. It could be a little bit late to start the class since he is 9 months old, but i think better than nothing right?!

His teacher is nice. She teached him 5 types of cards today-chinese/english/malay/dot/shape. Her hand is very smooth in flashing the cards. Baby Khemaka was no patient, he started move around after 15 min. His teacher tried to attract him back by showing the card in front of him. End up, the class finished earlier.. haha.. (this tuition class not cheap lo..)

How to train baby to be more patient??

Baby Khemaka admitted to hospital on 7-13 Sept,2009

Baby Khemaka got fever. This fever very weird, when it came, the body temperature will rise up very fast in few minutes. Exp: when you check the temperature, it is normal, but 5 min later, the body temperature can become 38-39*C. It's really scared me.

Khemaka admitted to hospital from 7 Sept till 13 Sept 09. The 90% of the children admitted in this children ward had the same symptoms like Khemaka. Those who discharged averagely stay for 5 days. My baby Khemaka was given antibiotic for 5 days. When his fever was 38.5*C or above, he was given a capsule to insert inside his buttock. Everytime insert, he will cry. I guess must be very painful. Pity my baby... After inserted, the body temperature went down in half an hour. After about 6-7 hours, this fever attack again. It likes to attack at midnight when Khamaka was sleeping.

I remember 1st night admitted, it was midnight. Khemaka couldn't sleep and he was given a low dose sleeping syrup to make him sleep. I don't like that syrup because this syrup worked very fast. Before baby Khemaka could finish his milk and before he could grab his bolster, he falled a sleep already. Too fast till i worried about the side-effect. I told nurses that i don't want my baby to take this syrup again, i prefer sooth him to sleep. I was told that most children in the ward were given this syrup if they couldn't sleep.

Just wonder, is there any side effect of this sleeping syrup to baby only 8 months old???
