6 months have passed in a flash! Riley turned 6 months on 29th October 2011 and I came back to work on 1st November 2011.

I am still nursing him at night and before and after work. He had a reaction to his BCG, his lymph node at the groin area was swollen and actually had pus. I went to Dr Vasanthi about 3 weeks ago to get his jab but with the swell and an ear infection, we had to postpone the jabs. Those were some horrid days, running to the ENT specialist at Parkway Health and the urologist at Gleneagles. Dr Cheah actually cut open the lump to squeeze out the pus and the abcess. Gross! I went alone to Gleneagles and was so shaken by the horrible narrow car park and when all the blood rushed out I could feel my legs go soft. Last Saturday, the doctor said the wound was healing well but he has another lump which is not ripe. We have to monitor it and if it turns red, we have to do something about it. Here's Riley 3 hours after the traumatic experience (for mummy and baby!) at the doctors.

Russell is really really sensitive to chicken. A little bit of chicken will set him off with a cough and he will be very very phlegmy. For him, I have resorted to bringing him the sinseh, he doesn't respond to Western medicines. Here's the cheeky bugger. He's been displaying middle-child syndrome, my poor baby feels so neglected, we really need to pay him a lot of attention. Sometimes the crying goes on for a long time. I think we spend too much time at my inlaws house, so much that he probably thinks my inlaws are his parents. They also spoil him lots. Eugene and I need to buck up on this front. And we will stay at our own house once my SIL gives birth in December. There is really no space for another two persons to stay at my inlaws.

Renee had one of her lower baby tooth drop out 0n 9th October 2011. Guess how? She bit Russell's hand and it dropped out! I turned around and wondered what a piece of chicken was doing on her thigh! It was actually her tooth! That night the tooth fair paid a visit. She had tonnes of questions about the fairy and was sooooo excited!! Wahaha! The innocence of kids!
