New Year @ Fajar

The first day of the year was spent at my parent's place at Fajar with many of our relatives. It was a chance for them to ooh and ahh at Aidan, the latest addition to the Quah family :) He was born on 18 Dec 08! Nice date huh? He's a cute lil fella who loves to sleep :) I think it's great that the two cousins are born so close together! They can be playmates!


Hi there!











My brother with Aidan, and I with Asher :)

As Asher's growing more aware, Jon and I have realised that he tends to get over-stimulated more easily than in his first month. Whereas he enjoyed lots of company previously, and probably still does, he gets more cranky after a noisy session now. Was reading that in the early days babies can still tune out stimuli, but now as their awareness of their surroundings increases, they take in everything, and it can be quite overwhelming for them.

So we'll just have to manage his activities a bit more to make sure he's not too stimulated. Keeping him in a quieter room when there are lots of people around seems to help.

Anyway, this little boy thinks he's really grown up already. When my dad tried to read him a picture book he kicked up a fuss, but look! He was happily 'reading' the Straits Times :)


"I don't wanna read books for babies!"









"Yeah! This is more like it!"







Anyway, just some other pics from that New Year's day :)


Adults are so boring..












BLLLLeeahhhhh












I'm growing longer! (Funny how for babies we say 'long', then when they start to walk it's 'tall')








More smiles!
