12 months check up and vaccination

Josiah is due for his MMR vaccine so I took half day leave to take Josiah to Island hospital. Hubby came along too. Parking at Island is a nightmare. I took the opportunity to ask the doctor about his physical development. He now weighs 8.7 kg and he's 72 cm tall. According to the doctor, he's small built but there's nothing to worry about. Now that he's 1, he can eat butter, cheese, yoghurt etc. to help increase his weight since he does not like milk as much as porridge. The doctor also suggested to increase protein intake eg. Chicken, pork because he's mainly taking fish only at this point. I read somewhere that a child's weight should triple his birth weight when he reaches the age of 1. Josiah's birth weight was 2.98 kg. I was surprised that the doctor says he is small sized despite mommy and daddy being big built!
Since the doctor has given the green light, I'll go grocery shopping for more variety of foods for Josiah. In the meantime I'll feed him more of the special Tibetian culture yoghurt that Mom has been diligently making every week for Josiah. Thanks Popo on behalf of Josiah!

Happy Birthday darling Josiah!

Josiah turns 1 today! We celebrated Josiah's birthday last Saturday, 20/8/2011 at Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel. It was a good turn out and the kids had lots of fun. About 80 people came including children. Josiah received so many gifts. Will post up pictures from the party when I have the time.
Josiah, Mommy and Daddy love you so much! We love every single moment of being your parents. You are our pride and joy. Love always, Mama & Papa.
