The little emperor turns 1

We've never referred to Keston as a little prince...always as 小皇帝 which roughly translates into 'little emperor'. From the moment he was born, he's gotten everyone twirled around his little pinkie. Schedules have been messed up, leaves have been sacrificed...everything just for this little emperor.

Went to KKH for his doctor's review. Heart scan was normal, arteries did not balloon up. However, blood platelette (which causes the blood to clot) is still on the high side. The Dr said it was expected due to KD and not to worry about it but he did went on to take the test twice to confirm that yes, the blood platelette count is high. That made me quite skeptical about not worrying excessively.

And then, we also found that K has low red blood cells. Dr recommended giving more red meat and leafy vegs.

The good news of the day is, Keston has finally gained weight! At 1yr old (oh well, 1 day short), he weighs 9.2kg-- not a heavy weight but at least he broke away from the 8.5range.

28th July

Keston officially turns 1 yr old (but not till 6.16pm)! We took time off to bring him to Sentosa. It was scorching hot and we made the mistake of dressing him in polo and pants.

Keston liked watching the feeding of the birds and the bird show at the Palawan Amphitheatre...but it was really too hot and he got cranky after awhile. We left Sentosa within 2 hours and proceeded home to go for a swim.

As it turns out, Keston is NOT afraid of the water, he does NOT hate swimming afterall!!!! The last few times we brought him to the pool, he whined and whined and whined and we were convinced that he hated the cold water or just hated swimming. But but but but but....we found out he actually just hates the neck float! Without the neckfloat, he was so eager to jump into the pool himself and he had a fun time kicking and laughing away!
