Today my dear, Mummy laid you on your tummy. and you suddenly, turned by yourself back to your back! All by your self! Im so proud of you. Gosh, what an improvement! Ive been trying to help you practice turning and crawling. I hope it motivates you to turn and crawl too. And Nanna was around today. And guess what my dear? All you did was chatter away. You can realllly talk! But what sweet sounds you make. I wonder what you are trying to say. But just listening to you is simply a joy. My little chatterbox.

And you are such a ticklish fella. Nanna stroke your tummy and you giggled and you raised your legs. It was a real adorable sight!!! what a sweetheart.

You have been drooling alot too. I wonder if you are teething soon. But so far, no signs of any tooth. We will wait and see. :)

I tried cutting your nails today dear. And im so sorry. today is the first day, when mummy accidentally cut your finger. You did not scream, but took it rather courageously. But im so sorry for hurting you. you bled a little, so we quickly put antiseptic and covered with your mittens. But goodness... seeing the blood ive caused just made me feel miserable... sorry my dear for cutting your finger.

Baby girl you are 3 mths old today! How fast has the time gone! We have dressed you all doll up now... gosh you have the sweetest smiles. I honestly cant stop kissing you and holding you. I truly dread going back to work in a weeks time. But baby girl... you love tummy time and you always get so happy when you stand up. Tried carrying you in the air and you love being high above. What a lovely girl you are. Ahma has planned a lunch today for Carol Akka family and Uncle Michael family to come by to see you and taste her Mee Siam. Oh well, i know you will be the highlight. :)

Love you so much dear. Kissing you twice now. haha.

Carol Akka got you a gym mat! It's a real miracle as when i have a thought of something for you, Carol always seem to get it for you! Amazing. First it was the praise baby music and now a gym mat. How wonderful God works!

During your bedtime, after mummy put you to bed, i left to the living room to watch the F1 race with daddy. Next thing we knew, we heard you screaming! I ran to check on you, and there you were all in tears and screaming at the top of your lungs. Im so sorry for leaving you alone in the room to sleep. My heart felt all torn up when you cried. My poor dear... it must be some bad nightmare or some disturbance... I was so worried, as i carried you to sleep, i prayed the rosary. Im going to do that now and put holy water on you. Im not taking any chances again.

Awwww Baby you are recovering well! The medicine is working! Praise God! You have been quite a chatterbox today and you seem alot better. Im so happy for you baby girl... Mummy will dedicate a proper regime to care for you... even your milk powder has been changed to Enfalac HA now. It's all hypoallergic and it seems to work. Love you baby... thank God.

PS: Daddy howl like a wolf and you like it. You tend to favor ducks and frogs cartoons and soft toys too... what a wonder you are :)

19 September 2013

My poor sweetheart. YOu have been diagnosed with Eczema. Your cheeks, body, underarms, groin are all covered in rashes that are painful and itchy. My poor dear, you have been scratching and crying. Thank God for leading us to Dr Woon at Bishan. He gave some ointment to bathe in and some lotion to apply. We will see if it works out.

Ps: Ahma and your grandma Lily cried seeing you like that. The moment you cry they cry too. It's so stressful for mummy... Having to care for you and to care for them. But you are my sole priority. I love you baby girl.

Today darling you took your second injection. Daddy took his first child care leave to accompany you. He spoke to you while the injection took place, and you were so brave. You cried for a while but calm down very fast. Thank God. But before that you also had to take an oral vaccination too. Goodness... the number of vaccinations you have to take is insane... i just hope you'll grow strong my little one.

And because you did so well, Daddy bought a new toy for you, a yellow small beanie duckling. And you love it. You held it close to you, you looked adorable. Daddy also went shopping for diapers for you too. Daddy did a lot for you today... what a treat it is :)

And then while you were falling asleep, Mumym read you for your first bible story from the children's bible. It was about Elijah fearing persecution from the world, but God said He will always be with him, and so God is always with us throughout the hardships of this world.

Mummy and Daddy loves you.
And God loves you more. 

2nd September 2013

Today my dear, it was raining. And there was thunder too. Mummy was eating dinner while you had your first fright to the thunder. You blew up in tears. My dearest sweetheart... my poor poor baby. I held you tightly and didnt want to let go till you fell fast asleep. Daddy then swaddled you tightly so you felt safe. My poor baby, sorry Daddy and Mummy didn't protect you from the loud thunder.

And this afternoon, it was your first time you laid on your tummy. You were so excited. We put you on your tummy to let you see things differently. All the time you only looked up, but today you get to look down. You should have seen the joy and amazement in your face. You are so strong, you even carried your head up all by yourself. So proud of you. 

26th August 2013

Today darling, Mummy realised how much you have grown. You wore one of your cute bodysuits and you look like a sausage. My poor darling... we got to get you bigger clothes now. :)

24th August 2013

Today my dear, Mummy went out to take Aunty Regina out for her birthday lunch. So Daddy was supposed to care for you with Grandma Lily. But it didn't go well. Looks like mummy is going to start worrying when she goes back to work... oh my. 

23rd August 2013

Baby girl, you fell sick today. You started having diarrhea and we were so worried about you. Brought you to the doctor today and he said it's caused by bacteria in your bottles. Poor baby. Sorry mummy didn't clean it properly. Now, mummy will sterilise it as much as i can. And he said it is also caused by sucking your hands. So that's why today my dear, you started sucking your first pacifier. Poor baby...

21st August 2013

You keep sucking your hands darling. And while you slept next to your bolster, you actually started sucking your bolster! oh my!

And darling girl, everytime you take a bath you will smile and enjoy it. But the moment mummy takes you out of it, you scream your heart out like it's the end of the world! Goodness gracious. I am considering of putting you for baby bath sessions. There's a trial at nex for a 15min swim in your personal pool for $38 followed by  a full body massage for $24... I want to send you soon, but Daddy doesn't want to miss it so we just got to wait.

20th August 2013

Today your grandma Lily bought you your first chinese han yu pin ying book. We are so screwed about your chinese language... haha. no one to help you much at home... i guess in the future, you'll be needing some chinese language help for an enrichment centre... poor baby. 

16th August 2013

I don't know if it's considered your first word... but you called your father by his first name 'Ed-gar' twice. But when we asked you to repeat it, you couldn't. So daddy said it's not considered your first words. haha.

But just imagine... what if it was? No manners darling calling your father by his first name! haha. 

15th August 2013

You keep sucking your mittens. Bad habit darling. And today you first watched TV, and your first TV programme is Hi5! You enjoy the music and the colours, though you can't see clearly yet. But you smiled while they sang.

In the afternoon, you first had your longest outing to church for it's the Feast of Assumption celebration followed by Nanna's place.

I noticed something special today. You stared at great grandma Christina picture, and you started talking to her as if she's in front of you. What a special moment it is for me.

Love you hon.
