Teething pains...*ouch*

On the 18th May, we brought Emre for his nine mth++ assessment, he passed his hearing test but sorta "failed" in his weight. He weigh only 7.05kg at 9mths+, which as per usual falls below the average percentile for baby boys his age. Nurse at the polyclinic say " bo bian, like mother, small size."

After the assessment, thought of bringing him to the cck sport complex for a swim, unfortunately the place closed on mondays and my dear little son fell asleep on the way. Thus, we head back home. Felt his gum when playing with him inside the car, noe that he is cutting his 5th and 6th teeth on the upper gum...tat explains his crankiness for the past few days!! :(

Yesterday nite my little darling was in such cranky mood due to his teeth cutting through, we were not able to cajole him to sleep almost till wee hrs in the morning. He was very active, and abit vampirish..as he kept bitting and sinking his teeth into everything at sight. This include his mommy and daddy, I got a few bruises from his bites on my arms, tummy and shoulder.. :(
He really use all his might when he bites, thus his right thumb got a very deep wound due to this .*yes he bite his own thumb till it open wound can be seen, poor boy*
He manage to pull himself from tummy lying position to sitting position and even push himself up to a standing position and even tried to let go of his support to try stand handsfree!! Not sure if is due to his itch/pain from the new teeth coming through, he was very active and doing all the above positions repeatedly, if he fell from standing, he will try again and again and again. I told emre, "Dun be too ambitious, u have not learnt how to crawl forward, dun "gei kiang" wanna try to stand loh," but this fell on deaf ears as he keep trying to stand and cruise ard the edge of the bed. :(

Hope to get a good nite rest tonite, ytd nite was probably a sleepless and tiring nite for me as much as it was for the little one.
