Who Loves a Dip in the Pool?

Of course we love going to the pool!!!

Christmas Day!!!

After a hearty Christmas* lunch,

where I practised my gross motor skills with cashews

I sure can do with a snoooze...

M O E T

I am the only one who came close to alcohol this Christmas!



My parents do not consume alcohol in any form.



Not for Christmas, not even for their Wedding.



It is a commitment, so please do not offer them any.



Regardless of the occasion!

First & Last

Daddy cutting up the first turkey ever to make its way into our home.

It is also the last.

Thanks for spending our last Christmas in this home with us!

Not the turkey, I mean U all!

Lasagne

Daddy baked 3 of these this season.



Thrice is not enough. We want more!



See the Christmas Tree decor?

Up Up & Away

I am learning to PULL myself up!

* dare to try *

Happiness

Daddy says happiness is...

1) rushing all the way to Sentosa on a Sunday afternoon wif mummy

to get their feet nibbled at by a pool full of fish...

2) carrying me on his shoulders while I am tearing his hair out

and drooling over his stylish hairdo

He'll gladly do both, over and over again

the Oysters that were Never Eaten

Mummy is mighty pleased with her Anniversary Supper!

Proudly whipped up by Daddy!

They thoroughly enjoyed the

stir fried beef noodles, and black pepper crab.

They gave the oysters a miss

after they failed to shuck it, & broke a knife.

Lazy Saturday

2nd afternoon nap of the day.

we did not aim to do much.

just rest*

it is necessary for December.

Check out my Slide Show!

My Food

Gosh, don't I love to eat!

My favourites are Rice Cereal, Apples, Banana, Sweet Potato, Carrots, Pigeon Pumpkin/Spinach Snacks, Heinz Teething Rusks, Baby Bites. All these have been consumed on its own previously. Today I had rice porridge with sweet potato & broccoli cooked in scallop with a slice of ginger stock. It was so yummy, i ate it twice in a day!

Sun, Sand & Sea

Daddy relented and brought us to the beach!!!


We picnic-ed, basked in the sun & swam in the sea.

What a wonderfully glorious day it was!

Wanna join us there the next time?

Bring your own sunglasses though

your own fan

& your own cheeseburger.

An Apple a Day

I love gnawing on apples.

I want an apple tree.

Mummy wants a rose bush.

Daddy wants pandan leaves???

*yummy yummy yummy yummy yum yum yum*

People on the Fence

Just when you think you are settling into parenthood tasks with a consummate ease and efficiency like a well oiled sports car, I am sure, you have encountered, as my parents have, occasions where people on the fence start to impose their theory to things they have been doing with blindfolds on. There are always better ways to do things, more appropriate ways to handle crisis, but more often than not, they just want to do it the way they want, did it the way we deem best. Maybe my parents can pass on the knowledge and lessons to younger ones next time... by which time they'd become "people on the fence" themselves. *akaka*

Clap Hands!

Daddy brought a clapping hand home and taught me to do this!

Love is All Around

Christ*mas

is coming!

Love*

is all around!

Takashimaya Tree

Christmas reminds us to appreciate our loved ones!

Give them hugs, & kisses, & lotsa Christmas presents!!!

& while I'm at loved ones, I have featured my gramps in this blog.

Now is to feature a lovely family, Aunt Elly, Unc Jin Hong & Cousin Joshua

who, by the way, do not like to take pictures, unless we do not want him in it!

That CD Shop

"Daddy, are you done shopping for CDs?"

Last weekend was a very eventful weekend! Daddy, Mummy & Me first rested, then we shopped, ate and partied! Everywhere shouts Christmas! I am so looking forward to my first Christmas. May I make up a wishlist? Puhleaze...

To My Caretakers

Dear caretakers, not knowing how often you check your emails, I've decided to spread the word here! Please read this list of forbidden baby foods! Thanks!

Common Foods That Should Wait Until Baby Is A Certain Age

Honey (not an allergen but may cause botulism in infants under 1yr old) - After 1 year

Peanut Butter - After 1 or 2 years

(Tree) Nuts(also may pose a choking hazard) - After 1 or 2 years

Citrus or Acidic Fruits Just because a fruit, like tomato, is not in the citrus family does not mean that it is not acidic!Not an allergen but may cause rash & digestive upset due to acidity. Using a dash of lemon or pineapple juice in a whole fruit puree is NOT the same as giving a baby pureed or sliced oranges, pineapple et al. - After 1 year

Strawberries - After 1 year

Corn (possible allergen and not very nutrient rich) - After 1 year

Egg Whites(many pediatricians will say it is fine for an older infant to have baked goods that include eggs) - After 1 year

Whole Milk Lactose and milk proteins may cause allergic reactions and may also cause tummy troubles as they are hard to digest - yoghurt and cheese are exceptions - see below. Milk also hinders proper absorption of iron; iron is crucial during the 1st yr.! - After 1 year

Wheat Many suggest that for the infant who has had no issues with gluten in Oats and/or Barley, and who has no history of wheat allergy or gluten intolerance, that offering wheat products (such as wheat toast) is fine around 8+ months - After 9-10 months or 1 year

Grapes(not a high allergen but may pose a choking hazard - use extreme caution if offering your older infant or toddler grapes) - After 10 months or 1 year

Shellfish(may be a high allergen) - After 1 or 2 years

Chocolate - After 1 year - if at all

What is Better Than Pram?

The Grocery Shopping Trolley!!!

Sorry its for ME ONLY, not like you can fit into it...

*phhhhht*

Baby baby...

Baby Raynen is so feathery light

compared to my whopping 7.75kg

I am growing fine.

My mummy has not carried a newborn for 6 months.

So watch out if you have one, because she will promptly

exchange her's for yours to carry. Excellent momentarily

barter for her to rest her arms. I am growing very fine.

Vaccines x3

I'm soooo snoozy today after three vaccines.

Two injected onto each of my thighs and one administered orally.

Nowadays, there's so many vaccines!

Tumbletots

Look, no hands!

I can now sit upright on my own.

Before toppling off a few seconds later. *grin*

Hint of Teeth

Not one, but two of them are lining my bottom gums! I've been salivating - a sign that i'm teething - since months ago! Finally they are sprouting up. But i wonder if they are a cause of my crankiness... i usually doze off easily, but these couple of days, at times i need to wail abit before i finally sleep! Maybe it was due to the teeth biting my thumb as i suck them to sleep. Anyway, my luscious lips blocked mummy from capturing a snapshot of my new milk teeth! Maybe I can provide it later when they are replaced! So come back, 7 years later???

Finished!!

*yummy yum yum*

Today I finished all 100ml of rice cereal! Then I found out that it might be too early for me to start solid food! So for the next couple of weeks til I turn 6 months, I will resume back to my few mouthfuls, just to practise my swallowing from spoon. I'm pretty good at it!

Beautiful Ear Lobes

Have you noticed, that my ears are beautiful?

I am not going to pierce them anytime soon.

Since its very nice, simply on its own!

NaiNai's Birthday!

S U R P R I S E ! ! !


Ah, i was busted*, there goes my surprise.

So much for hiding under the sheets... sheesh...

Dear nainai, blessed birthday to you!!!

Pucker Up

This is soooo Daddy's lips!

More Firsts...

Today, i had my first solid food. Each half spoonful that went in, a quarter spoonful were sputted out. So i guess, i ate a little! I will be practising every noon til i get the hang of it! Another first, i fell from my parents bed this evening. I cried, not hollered and was settled in 5 mins. Was not injured, thank God! This is not a "first" that I would like to remember. Anyhow, for the record, its here. I hope it will not happen again. Here's a video titled "Licking Minnie" to cheer you up!

Black Pepper Crabs

Who says only preggies have "request-whatever-you-want-past-midnight-supper" privileges? Mummy had her black pepper crab craving satisfied this midnight! Maybe she is pregnant! Nah, very unlikely. Its just the love of Daddy! Or rather the coincidental craving that Daddy has too! Anyway, they enjoyed it totally coz I'm fast asleep, and they do not have to scramble to wash their hands, should I require some attention! Bottomline is that my parents eat lots past midnight... *sigh*

Have I or Have I not?

Has this picture been posted before?
Dun remember...
Anyway, I like it!
Do you?

Like I care...

Oh yes, of course I do!

My Big O Round O Eyes

Honey daddy, would you next time look at the camera please?

Caregroup

Yes, I have my own caregroup to attend!

Play Time

This is where I spend

my waking hours!

Too many toys,

too little time to play!

Lost & Found, Anyone?

No i was not picked up from Daddy & Mummy's doorstep!
