tantrums and Lucas
Don't get me wrong.. Lucas is still as cuuuute as ever.. and I stiiiilll love him to bits.. but he's quite the naughty boy.
He has a rather short attention span and refuses to stay in one position for longer than 10 minutes (if we're lucky). He loves to be carried, cradled and there's a catch there too ! Said "carrier" or cradler must move around. Stay at the same spot for too long and he will complain. YES !! he does ! He actually voices his disapproval. Ignore his "first-gear warning" and he'll very quickly launch into full-battle, high-decibel assault. He can scream so loudly that one can mistake it for that of a teenage girl! So as you can tell, we can hardly get any work done around the house whenever he's around (but we're not complaining).
He's quite the talker too. He can carry on a conversation with anyone/anything he fancies. Talk to him and he will reply you with some babbling or he'll charm the socks off you with a smile. In short, he's got his little world twirled around his little finger.
Because after all,
... and we, are his loyal following :P
see lah !
Mummy & Popo have taught me something..
Lucas' Baptism
It was Lucas' Baptism today at OLPS Church.
Aunt: "Lucas, how do you feel about your Baptism ?"
Lucas: "Yay !!"
Peekaboo !
this is the face that greets me everyday when I come home...
.. how not to rush home after work ??
Look what we found...
Daddy & Son.. both asleep the same way
Who does he look more like ?

an hour after the last post...
I survived one hour alone with Baby !!!
Lucas' mummy & grandma went to the neighbourhood shopping centre to do some shopping for groceries etc and left him home with me. He was supposed to sleep till 5.30pm for his feed but he had gotten up early at 4.45pm because his nose was blocked.
I had to carry him on my shoulder till he fell asleep again. Then I decided to put him lying down on the bed to sleep. He slept rather peacefully and just when I thought I could resume my marking, he got up again and started crying rather bitterly. I.didn't.know.what.to.do. I tried carrying him over my shoulder again, but it didn't work. I carried him in my arms, that didn't work either. I tried all positions, walking, bouncing. All cannot. So what did a desperate taiyi do ? She got out the tu tu hehe. And it worked.
Then proceeded to get milk ready. So funny. Baby's grandpa kalang kabut to try and get the bottle sterilized and to fit the teet into the erm ring thing.. Could tell that he didn't really feed me & sis much when we were babies.
Halfway preparing the milk, mummy came home. But for the record, I did feed him. YAY !!! I survived !
for the LUCAS fans
hehe I just got to know that there are some of you out there who are visiting this site almost everyday.. some everyday, in fact.. I'm so sorry for the seemingly lack of updates. You didn't leave any comments ma.. so I didn't know if anyone else (except for myself) appreciated the updates.. haha
ok.. so here goes..
mummy & son shot (so adorable right ?)
he's holding on to his milk bottle
isn't he photogenic ?

sniffles
Poor Lucas is sick again. He had his first bout of flu when he was about 2/3 weeks old and how he's got his second.
His poor little nose gets so stuffed up that he has difficulty breathing. He wheezes and makes little snorty sounds very often. He can't stay lying down for too long and has to be held upright (but on that note - he IS getting very strong. He keeps kicking while he is being held upright and that gives the effect that he is jumping. So cute.)
The first time, the PD had to aspirate his nose. That left him crying his little lungs out. This time around, the doc sprayed some meds into his nose to flush the "clog" away. According to his mummy, he didn't cry so much but he was clearly very disturbed by the experience.
So poor thing. I hope he gets well soon and gets stronger too.

one month on...
Lucas celebrated his first month with a BANG ! It was first a celebration at our place for our side of the family & friends on Saturday, and the second one was at his own home with an EVEN bigger turn out on Sunday !!
He was a real sweetie on both days as he didn't fuss much. He even allowed so many of his aunts, grandaunts, great grandaunts, grannies, great-grannies to carry him. He was a real dear and gladly entertained his enthusiastic following !
I don't have many pictures with me at the moment as most were captured on video cam or on his mummy's camera. Will upload them when I can. As for the ones on video, well.. someone's gotta teach this aunt how to do it before we can see any footage online !
Oh.. and he's starting to be able to support his head !! He's been trying to lift it up for a while now, but each time he would flop back down. But this morning during his bath, he held himself up rather steadily for a while !! What a champ !!
I've also included one more photo of him during his bathtime..
... clearly bathtimes are his favourite !
More pictures!
Hi all :)
Thanks for your prayers! baby's stuffy nose is better altho for the past 2 weeks, he's been pretty "windy" (but er... i don't mean the 'burping' variety so hmm... u know where the air comes out!) He sometimes sounds like he is in real pain trying to 'gek' the wind out... the poor thing!
Anyone who can't sleep at night should also consider coming to visit him cos, guess wat?! Baby is a night bird... eyes WIDE OPEN from 11-2am the past few nights! yikes... Daddy's eyebags are catching up with mine...haha :P Grandma says it's my fault for not sleeping early when i was pregnant! I'm sorry everybody!!!
But..... he is STILL so cute!!! :)
Here are another 2 pictures! Many more to come cos they're still stored in the camera! 
We love baby Lucas :)
Hey hey! It's Lucas' mummy reporting :)
Finally I'm doing something that makes me feel abit more like a normal person (as opposed to er... a cow? :P) Checking email... updating the blog... checking soccernet.com :P
Nway, Marcus said we must document down the "birth story" so that we won't forget the drama... so i shall start working on that very soon! Hopefully in my next update :)
Poor baby has been down sick since 4-5 days ago with the flu! poooor thing is now on antibiotics and nasal drops and his nose is always stuffy/ blocked. Please pray for him to recover asap!
Please also help pray for us to be good parents cos he's getting abit harder to handle now... cos he has learnt to scream!! and waking up in the middle of the night to feed him is really not easy!!
I've woken up a few times in shock already thinking "Where's the baby!?" ... then i look over and he's in his cot and I wonder... ohhh...how did he get there? Scary!!!
Meanwhile, he is still as cute as ever and we love him to death :)
here are some more of my favorite pictures and you can prob see why :)
How many people does it take to ...
... change a baby's diaper:
4 - Dad, Mum, Grandma & Aunt
Marcus was cleaning Lucas' diaper last nite after he had pooed. He was doing a REALLY good job, really thorough and Lucas was happy too coz he was finally able to expel the air from his tummy. His daddy continued cleaning him and everything was going well when suddenly, Marc exclaimed, "Wah lao eh !!"
I was sitting on the bed in their room reading while that happened so I looked up and to my horror, Lucas had "launched" a poo attack !! It was NAAAASTEHH !! After that, Steph had to carry Lucas while Marcus & I cleaned the cot. Grandma also had to clean his sheets & mattress. It was very funny, although it really wasn't something to laugh about.
... bathe a baby (for the 1st time):
4 - Mum, Dad, Grandma & Grandpa
Well.. cannot really include Grandpa in it coz he was the cameraman. But important nonetheless coz he documented the entire episode.
The other 3 were giving baby his 1st bath at home a few days ago. Already abit kalang kabut (see earlier post for explanation) coz it was the 1st time they were doing it. And to add to the drama, Lucas decided to have a "water fountain" for some added fun. So it was "drain the water & start ALL over again" for everyone.
Grandpa was amused by it all and was very concerned whether he had caught it on video.
Your family so cartoon right, Lucas ?
Meanwhile, here's wishing everyone a Blessed Christmas !! More soon..
No words..
Just pictures.. :P
