A for Apple

After 1 week of boring plain rice cereals and porridge, mummy made some apples for me to try.

I'm loving it..:) I lapped up the entire 1 teaspoon on my first try without complains. If only rice cereals tastes as nice. I wish.

Anyways, here was what I did on the 8th Sept.

Ahhh..Moom moom...yummy...

These are the words that have been ringing in my mind and constantly in my face for one whole week already when its around 11 plus in the morning and 5-6plus in the evening. I don't quite seem interested in my food cos its quite blend. No taste whatsoever, except the taste of my milk. So far, I only can eat one table spoon full of rice cereal and sometimes just a couple of baby spoonful.

I have tried 3 types of cereals. Nestle White Rice, Nestle Brown Rice with Milk, Heinz Baby First Cereal. None of these seem to entice me. Not sure why. I think mummy is going crazy soon. :p

The video taken when I first tasted food says it all.

Letter from Mummy

Dearest Netanya
Seems like just yesterday you were a tiny little being in our household. Today you turn 6 months which means you are in our lives for 6 months already. How quickly time passes by and how big you have grown.

I thank God that after two and a half months of sleep drinking, you have suddenly started to want to drink while you are awake. And I was thinking so hard of ways to help you drink and eat when its time to introduce solids to you. You showed me that my worrying was in vain.

Although you still have your quirky habits and tantrum throwing moments, the smiles and the laughter on you face just brightens my day. At times I got frustrated with your cryings screamings for no apparent reason and even smacked you a couple of times on the thigh, you don't seem to hold any grudge towards me. I'm sorry.

You are so active and you are just like me not liking afternoon naps. You love to sing and love to talk so much that even though we do not understand you, we try our best to communicate with you. You always love to be on your tummy and you can't wait to crawl that you are now moving backwards and trying ever so hard to move forward without any result. Yet day by day you do not give up and you keep trying. Persevere my baby. You'll get to crawl soon.

Seeing that you have adapted well in your grandma's house on days when I had to go to the office, makes me feel less burdened.

Half a year has gone past for you and more months/years are waiting for you to conquer and experience. My prayer for you is that you will continue to grow and experience life to the fullest.

Happy 6th month old my little baby. :)

6 months

Today I turn 6 months.

Weight: 6.9kg
Height: 63cm


Here's what I can do / love to do:
- scratch anything that my little hands can touch
- beat beat things that my little hands feel
- act motherly when mummy carries me by patting her shoulder
- laugh until I go crazy
- drink milk with eyes wide open again
- tell mummy and daddy what I want (in my own language of cos and they have to guess)
- roll over continously
- reach for things that I like, sometimes using my legs too

No more pain pain...

... till I'm 13months old. Today mummy brought me to the doctor aunty again for the last of my 6-in-1 injections. Doctor Aunty got so many toys that even though they looked quite old and used, they still looked interesting.

I got my height and my weight taken. I'm on the 25th percentile. I weigh 6.9kg and am 63cm tall. Doctor aunty said I will not be a chubby baby cos of my activeness. The nurse aunty gave mummy another can of milk powder. yeah. Till date, I already have 3 tins of 900gm and 4 tins of 400gm milk. Mummy will let me try tomorrow.

After the doctor, we went to the Expo for JL sale. Such a boring place and nothing excites me except the titbits and food. Mummy thought she could get a light stroller for me to put at my grandma's house but it was quite disappointing. In the end, we went to Kaki Bukit to get the stroller and I wet the stroller as we went to the car. So much for a new stroller.

My cupboard came today. There's a major furniture movement in my room today. :p

Daddy and mummy is gearing me up for eating semi-solids. They recently got a Phiips blender (from the Philips Carnival), a red Ikea highchair to be put in my grandma's place (and I think they are getting another to put at home), my rice cereals. Look out for more on me eating..hee

Wide Eye Drinking

Yippee!! Mummy is so proud of me cos I drank my milk with my eyes wide open for most of my feed today!! Though it took longer than my normal drinking (with eyes closed), and more monkeying around, looking around, I still managed to finish my milk with my eyes wide open. :)

Thanks to the uncles and aunties who have been praying for me.

I'm a Shopping Queen

Mummy siad there was a baby fair at Takashimaya Shopping Center where by old bottles could be changed for new bottles at half price. So enroute, we went to Tangs to find out some prices first. At the end of the day, I spent close to $430 in all my purchases (including 3 presents for 3 uncles celebrating their 50thbirthday end of the month). So what did I buy?

From Baby Fair at Takashimaya:


4pcs of #4 teats, 2pcs of 300ml bottles, 2pcs of 6-18mths pacifiers

From Tangs:

1 bottle of baby lotion, 1 Baby Einstein exersaucer, 1 bedtime boardbook, 1 bottle of body wash, i box of body parts flash cards, 4pcs L size pigeon teat, 1 munchkin safety sunblock shade, 3 boxes of presents for the 3 uncles.

Mummy wanted to find a nice float for me so that we could go swimming but couldn't find any. Another time maybe. :)

Time to play my new toys..:)

P.S. The aunty at the bottle exchange counter did get the old bottles from me. hee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!

Its my first national day and I think I woke up quite early. Daddy and mummy decided to bring me to the beach for the very first time. So many people, so many dogs, so sunny. I hope I can go there again soon. The sea sounds nice. So nice that it made me quite sleepy.



Headed off to Courts at Tampines and saw some nice bedroom sets with cupboards, bedside table, bed, drawers, etc with different themes. There's Mickey Mouse, Barbie Doll, Hot wheels and a sweet flower theme. But daddy said the price is too expensive and mummy didn't like Barbie Dolls so I don't think they will get it for me anytime soon.

This is how i do my workout in the car and anywhere else when I'm free. Who says I am not exercising. :p

Woo Hoo...

That's how my new monkey toy sounds. My grandma bought me a new toy. Mummy found out that it's 3times cheaper if you buy it from America. If only we are living in America.

Went to many places yesterday. Because the price of my milk powder is so expensive in Singapore, Daddy drove us to City Square, JB, to get my milk powder. Then Mummy said that I should get a cupboard soon to put all my new clothes, we went to Bedok market to look at the cupboard. We saw one, costing $190. Maybe my grandma can get it at a cheaper price since she does her marketing there. After that we went to my grandma's place to visit my great grandmother who is 101/102 years old. She hit her face on her portable toilet and now half her face is blueblack. So poor thing. I hope she gets well soon.

Oops...

Not for the faint hearted.
