FYI, mummy is not available today. I heard mummy telling daddy that today is her SITS day. I guess mummy will be busy sitting the whole day now... I think she needed that since she's always running around chasing after me... ;p
Anyway, the show must go on. I have no choice but to take over the blog reins from mummy - well just for today. Now, let me tell you guys about myself.
Mummy and daddy decided before I was born that I will be breastfed no matter how hard or difficult it may be. I'm 14 months+ now and still on mummy's breast milk apart from my oats solids and stuff. 14 months+! Can you believe it?!
And mummy and daddy also decided that they will do their own DIY confinement during the 2 months mummy went on maternity leave. Anyway, when mummy returned back to work after 2 months of maternity leave, she had to make the saddest decision in her working life...
What decision? It is to quit her job so that she can take care of me full time. A lot of things were being considered but in the end, decisions were made and mummy officially became a SAHM when I was 3 months old! She then had to make the same decision again, which is to stay on being a SAHM when I was 13 months old.
Anyway, the show must go on. I have no choice but to take over the blog reins from mummy - well just for today. Now, let me tell you guys about myself.
My name is Benjamin, I am born on 4th March 2009. I'm 14.5 months old now. You can call me Ben but please don't call me Ben-pire or even Ben-bleebee... Even though I look cute in the bee costume ;p
Mummy said she had a supernatural childbirth with me. How supernatural? I don't know... I kinda guessed she just lie on the bed, chilling out like how I posed here in this picture and just sort of squirt me out or something! I mean, how supernatural could a childbirth be?? Mummy and daddy decided before I was born that I will be breastfed no matter how hard or difficult it may be. I'm 14 months+ now and still on mummy's breast milk apart from my oats solids and stuff. 14 months+! Can you believe it?!

She then had to make the same decision again, which is to stay on being a SAHM when I was 13 months old.
I am so happy I can stay at home with mummy all the time!
Of course, mummy always said she did not regret her decision to quit as she gets to catch all my firsts moment... from my first sit by myself, my first mole on my body, my first attempt to stand and climb, right to my first... teething! You should see the video on how I prayed and clapped hands! :D
Mummy also enjoyed seeing me trying out new things... like the time I first started my solids at 6 months old and why she decided to prepare my solids instead of buying processed / jar food, and few months later when she got me this baby food feeder.
I do however remember how sad mummy is when she told daddy we need to retire dear Pink Walker. I remember spending a lot of happy moments with it but mummy says I am a big boy now and must learn to walk and stand up by myself.
Mummy said I'm always up to something and she always tells people 'babies these days....' and she also said finger pointing is dangerous when she realized I could do that one day and then mummy will just smile and keep quiet... I wonder what she means... hmmmm... grown ups and their weird thinking... sigh...
Sometimes, whenever anyone complains to mummy about how sh*tty their job is and that mummy gets off the hook easily now that she's a SAHM and not under anyone's order to do anything, mummy will tell them that her job is the sh*ttiest in the world. You should really check this post out to know how sh*tty is mummy's job in taking care of me ;p
Ever since mummy became a SAHM, she only went on medical leave for one day that is when she got stomach flu. (oh, and another time for flu) And, being a SAHM means she does not get any salary or bonus or increment since she does not get appraised by any boss/supervisor. (Psst... mummy did hinted to daddy by posting her self appraisal notes in this blog which daddy eventually rewarded her heheheh...)
When I have my naps in the day time or when I go to sleep at night, mummy will either be on Facebook or blogging about the latest happenings in her and our lives. She has also recently started Twittering.
You should check out some of the pictures she posted of me on the Wordless Wednesday meme.
Other than that, mummy also helps daddy out with his own IT business. Talking about daddy, hmmm... he is often out at work, either meeting clients or involved in IT projects. Luckily grandma was around to help mummy take care of me.
So anyway, when daddy is not busy at work, we will normally either chill out at home (think of how busy I have to be to entertain them both!!! :P) or we will all go out for a family outing. I like it a lot when daddy and mummy are at home, then I can play all day long... :D
Recently, mummy always let me play at the balcony, either just plain chilling and relaxing or play and splash water at the balcony before I go for my bath. It's so fun!! (p.s: Some of mummy's bloggy friends have started falling in love with my chubby thighs because of this picture!)
And now, it's even more fun that I have my own playroom! I can play all day long! Yipeee!!
Anyway, I am tired already. All these typing while mummy is still giggling away with her SITS is really making me tired and sleepy.(I mean, how can someone be so happy hearing that they have to SIT the whole day?!)
Please do remember to drop by mummy's blog from time to time. She does come up with good posts every time!
I would also like to thank mummy's followers, and her regular bloggy friends. They always drop by and commented on mummy's blog and checking out my latest updates. That and drooling after my chubby thighs of course! ;p
Till then, stay safe and happy! And thank you to the lovely ladies over at SITS who arranged for mummy to sit today and for you all who dropped by and spend time reading through mummy's posts in this blog. I'll make sure mummy replied all your wonderful and sweet comments! :)

If I had the option of quitting my job(s) it wouldn't be even the least bit sad. It would be the best day of my life!
And I fought to breastfeed, too! At 15 months, we're still nursing.
Happy SITS day. Great birth story.
Congrats on your SITS day. Now "SIT" back and relax and enjoy the comment love!!

Your story is truly a blessing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your son, in first person. A pleasure to meet this young gentleman. Stopping by from SITS.
Have a truly delightful week. :)
Well it's nice to meet you, Ben! Can I call you Benny?
I work in a pediatric dental office and have a friendly, non-nagging reminder for your mum (really! I don't mean to nag!!!) The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that you have your 1st dentist visit by now, if you haven't already :)
This blog is ADORABLE! I love it! Happy SITS day to Ben and his mum!
