New Friend

Daddy said that he read from a book that I am interested in seeing faces now and he introduced a new friend to me.

Busy weekend

The weekend was so busy for me that I am having a hangover. On Saturday, daddy and mummy brought me to church. I didn't go up to the 4th level cos mummy wanted to stay at the 2nd. Got to know a few jiejie and korkors and one aunty. They crowded around me and talked so much when I wanted to sleep. Anyway, didn't know what they were talking about so I just slept as they talked. In the late evening, I went to this place where they sold alot of things. Mummy says its called NTUC at AMK Hub. I think the hub is a much bigger place. Maybe next time can go walk around more. The NTUC was so huge and there were so many people. Scary. As usual, I just opened my eyes, sat in my "car" and got pushed around. Mummy wanted to get me some diapers but ended up getting none cos one brand ran out of my size and daddy said that the diaper with Winnie the Pooh was too expensive. They just bought quite a fair bit of groceries and then we went home cos I was already crying for milk and I wanted to sleep.

After drinking my milk milk and getting changed, daddy tried to coax me to sleep but two of mummy's friends, aunty J and aunty J and a popo came to see me. The two aunties bought me a toy from Australia in their recent trip but I don't think I will get to play with it until I am older. This Koala is called Kiki Koala. Not sure if there are pink Koalas but I hope daddy and mummy will be able to bring me along to see the real thing next time.

On Sunday, the day started so early. All dressed up and got ready to go to church. This time, before going out, I poopoo-ed. And I drank a record of 200ml of milk milk (I think daddy and mummy doesn't know that its time I up my milk intake until today). After church, daddy and mummy brought me to a place called Funan Center and we went into a restaurant called Swensons. This is the 2nd time I've been to such a restaurant. The first time was the outlet at the airport celebrating mummy's birthday. This time, we were celebrating some jiejies' birthdays.

Went home and then a couple of hours later, headed off to my popo house. She bought me a toy for my "car".

Not sure why but I didn't quite like the place so I cried quite alot. Maybe because I wanted to sleep but there were so many people around always coming to disturb me and wanting to talk to me. So I cried and mummy was frustrated with the people around so she decided to bring me home.

Anyways, that was how I spent my weekend. Daddy said that I have learnt a new vocal cos I made some new noise that he hasn't heard before. I love talking to my daddy especially during milk milk time when he's feeding me. He got frustrated once cos I wanted to talk to him in the middle of the night when I was supposed to be sleeping. I love to talk. Mummy talks to me in the day time and I only have the evening and night time to talk to daddy. :P

I love to smile and that's my new secret weapon if daddy or mummy gets angry/frustrated with me..:)

I think daddy and mummy are intending to bring me on a holiday soon. I overheard them talking and mummy was asking this aunty who is a doctor if its possible. Looking forward to it..:)

I'm 2 months old

Mummy says today I turn 8 weeks (2 months) old. However, Daddy said that I wasn't quite a good girl last night as I woke him up several times. Not sure why but I didn't like the bottle last night and preferred mummy feeding me like a calf would. I find rest and peace there. Maybe because I had bad experience with the bottle thus I was quite cranky and didn't want to finish my milk from the bottle. Plus I regurgitated (big word) again. Or maybe I thought I was a big girl now and thought the bottle was for small babies. :p Daddy suspected it could be the caffine that mummy had over the last few days that made me so hyper in the night thus not wanting to sleep. Whatever the reason is, I was one tired baby.

Anyway, after last night's ordeal, I was a good girl today. Taking in all that is from the bottle and sleeping when its time to sleep and playing when its time to play. However, mummy initially wanted to bring me to Compass Point to walk around but because she was LAZY tired and the sun was shinning, she didn't. She just brought me downstairs again to buy her lunch. Hope that mummy would bring me out soon alone without daddy so we can have a mother and daughter time outside.


Here's to me being 2 months old. Mummy made a collage for me.

Baby's Day Out

Weeee...today was such a busy and enjoyable day. We left the house at 1125am and headed off to Marina Square. Though I was sleeping when my parents brought me into the car, I knew I had to catch my beauty sleep else I wouldn't be able to look at the things around me whilst sitting in my red "car" (stoller).

First stop, Marina Square John Little. That's when I woke up and started to look around. But somehow my stomach started rumbling halfway through and daddy had to feed me in a pathetic looking nursery room which I believe was a changing/fitting room before it got converted. The changing table had specks of powder which I believe some other kids may have had their change and their parents left the powder specks there. Anyway, the list of things mummy bought are:

• 2 pairs of #3 Avent teats for me when I turn 3 months
• 1 pack of EQ diapers (S size) -- I've graduated from NB size and this is the first time I will try this diaper ($8 for 40pcs)
• 1 pack of 3 Tollyjoy cotton pads
• 1 Tiny Love toy which is like a worm in multi colors and it can vibrate when you pull the worm. It will be hung on my "car" and also in daddy's car to entertain me when I am outside with them.

Second stop, Suntec city. Daddy wanted to open an e-savers account for me at Standard Chartered but end up didn't cos I had to put in $50 every month. I also got no pay or allowance how to put in $50 a month. Sigh. So in the end only mummy opened the account and I just fell asleep after the long ride from Marina Square. We headed to Carrefour and daddy and mummy just went to get some groceries. They wanted to get more diapers for me but seems quite expensive. In the end, nothing for me and I again woke up to see what's going on around me.

We then walked back to Marina Square via Millenia Walk. Such a boring place. Nothing much to see so I got my parents to change my diaper there. Haha. After they had their lunch at KFC, we headed back home.

Back home, it was time for me to catch some catnap cos mummy said we were going out for dinner later at Bedok with my noisy cousin. Couldn't be bothered with what was going on I slept and woke up to just get my grandparents to carry me for a while.

After dinner, we came home and it was time for me to eat (drink). Daddy fed me and not sure why, I became what mummy said, a merlion, again. Daddy was worried cos it was the first time he see me with milk coming out of my mouth and I dirtied the sofa bed. haha. I think I am going to leave my mark everywhere in the house soon.

So tiring. I am going to sleep now. It will be a day with mummy alone at home again tomorrow. I hope she will entertain me with new stuff tomorrow. :p

PS...I gave mummy tons of smiles today when she was talking to me in the car.

Goodnite.

It has been a long day

First off, I have been cryig for no apparent reason today and have not been drinking much today. I think my mummy is frustrated with me and do not know what to do with me. But when that happens, I will just give her my signature smile and she will be all well again and not think of what I have done to her.

Not sure why but milk have been coming out of my mouth twice. Mummy says I am like a merlion (not sure what/who it is but I'm sure she'll bring me go and see it soon). Once was in the middle of the nite two days ago and this afternoon it happened again and I dirtied the sofa. When my mummy tried to burp me another time over the shoulder, I spit some on her (hee). Maybe mummy didn't burp me well enough. I am quite a good burp-er. But I sure hope that there's nothing wrong with me.

I love to sleep on my yellow bouncer and everything that moves. I find that its more comfortable that way and even at night, I love it when my parents walk briskly to help me fall asleep. Must be tough on them but it works within a few minutes.

I look forward to tomorrow cos I might be able to get out of the house to go shopping for my teats and a toy. I am quite toy deprived. But anyways, being able to go out is good enough. :)

My 1st entry

Finally my mummy has decided to start a blog for me. My name is Netanya, which means God's gift. My chinese name is 张恩慧. My parents chose this name for me cos I am a gift from God to them and they have waited for my arrival for a couple of years. Here's some facts about me before I start to ramble on.

• Born on the 28th Feb 2008 at East Shore Hospital
• I am the princess of the Teo household
• My parents are Papa Jon and Mama Mich
• I weighed 2.815kg when I first landed in my mummy's doctor's hands
• I was 49.5cm tall then
• I was out of my mummy's tummy at 10.48am
• I was given the BCG and did the hearing test and I passed!

I guess this blog is to help mummy remember all the milestones in my life and I think she has quite a bad memory so probably this would help her. Currently, I am already 7 weeks and 4 days old and alot has happened since I was borned.

• I weigh 4.8kg now
• I am 55cm now
• I had my 1st Hepatitis B on the 18th March.
• I just had my 1st dose of 6-in-1 on the 18th April. Made me so tired that I slept through the day and had slight fever in the night and was given some medication by my parents
• I am drinking Enfalac A+ and some of mummy's breastmilk
• I can already coo adn talk to my parents in my own language though they do not understand what I am trying to say
• I love to show my daddy and mummy my beautiful teethless smile
• I can use my eyes to follow objects that attract me

There's 7 weeks of update but I don't think I will update here cos it would be too long. Probably will just start from where I am now. My mummy's slow in doing such things. Sigh. But nevermind, there's a long journey ahead of me. Look out for more!!!
