Dearest Baby,

Mommy hasn't been writing to you much lately. It's because I've been rather busy these 2 weeks, having to go back to the factory almost daily.

Last Sunday is Father's Day. Your doting Daddy celebrated his 1st father's day by splurging on you. We brought you for your first swim on a Tuesday around 2 weeks ago. Despite being a little scared initially, you overcome your fear after a little while and begin to enjoy yourself. And when Ryan came to swim on Saturday, we decided to join in the fun and this time round, we brought you to the adult's pool and you weren't scared at all. Seeing that you're having fun, your Daddy dearest decided to buy your very 1st swimsuit for you which comes with a matching "cap". It's really cute and you look really cute in it. We also bought an airpump to pump up the float we got your last Sunday. So on Father's Day, we took you swimming in your new swim wear and float and I also got you a little toy to play with while in the pool. You were laughing and smiling and enjoying yourself very much in your new float. All was well until your playful daddy decided to pull a trick on you by hiding in the waters and then reappearing again suddenly. You were so frightened that you let out a loud cry. After that he tried to amuse you by blowing bubbles and it was all wrong coz again, you had a fright and began to cry. We were very amsued by your reaction. Anyway, we still had a great time together in the pool.

Another thing that you really like is EATING. We have been feeding you a semi-solid meal a day. So far we have introduced you to pumpkin, sweet potato, watermelon, starfruit and apple. You like all that you have tried. You're not a fussy eater, I guess! You really really like watermelon, you sucked on it hard and demanded for more when we took it away from you. Your porpor has bought some really good sweetcorn from Malaysia on Sunday and we are going to make corn puree for you. :-)

On another note, you had your first fever on last Monday. Thankfully it was not serious. I passed the flu bug to you, according to the doctor. Your temperature went up to 38.6 at around 2 am Tuesday morning. I was really worried and brought you to see Dr. Tan. When she learnt that I have just recovered from a flu attack, she promptly checked your ears and lungs to make sure they are not infected. She said that because I had it first and I'm breastfeeding you, the antibodies will be given to you through the breastmilk and you'll be fine. You weren't given any medicine except for anti-histamine (just in case your nose are blocked). True enough, your fever went down after I sponge you constantly and you are well by Tuesday evening. You didn't even have runny nose or cough (which I had). I'm glad everything is fine and there's no complications. Next time I'll be more careful and wear a mask when I'm sick.

Oh, before it slips out of my mind, HAPPY 6th MONTH old to you! That's 1/2 a year more to your first birthday! Time really really flies! I still remember how tiny you were at birth and now you're a hefty 7.8kg who loves to play and laugh alot. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you healthy and happy. :-) You're our sweet little blessing!
