I miss Daddy and Mummy

Daddy is now in Brunei. He has set sail for MSTD since 7 Aug.

Daddy has always been the one who dresses me in pyjamas after my shower and thereafter he will tuck me nicely into bed, pat me with his hugh warm hands and humming the lullaby. I miss Daddy very much and I expressed my sadness to Mummy. I know Mummy also misses Daddy but she kept it well in her heart as she pacifies me at night during shower and bed time. It did not take Daddy off my mind. I don't know why but I could not sleep well the first few nights that Daddy was away. I just kept crying and crying on bed. Mummy had a hard time comforting me. I remembered there was one night that Mummy struggled with me till 1+ in the morning before I finally exhausted my energy.

Mummy is thankful for Jiu Jiu's presence while Daddy is away as he helped to keep me occupied so that Mummy can get the night routine done with ease.

Mummy was away for a 2 day course yesterday and today.
"I thought she's supposed to be on maternity leave to keep me company?!?"

I was left under the care of Gong Gong and Auntie Nur. Things were pretty much the same during the day (sleep, wake up, play, drink milk, cry, sleep again.. and the cycle continues). I was very happy to see Mummy when she got home and I hugged her as she cuddled me before bringing me out. I love the evening walk as this is the uninterrupted 'Mummy-and-Baby' time. Mummy will tell me stories and describes the things that happen around us, sings and dances around as we stroll around the estate.

I look forward to Daddy's home coming, then we can have a family walk together.

National Day (9 Aug)

Happy Birthday Singapore!!

I'm proud to be a Singaporean, and I love my country!! I took my 1st National Pledge, together with thousands of other people at 8.22pm.

Stand up for Singapore, do the best you can..

3 months: Into the Action

Yippe, I'm a happy baby girl. Mummy is into online shopping and she has bought a lot of gadgets for me (some for playing, some for wearing, some for feeding, etc). Daddy and Mummy brought me to Vivo City's Toys R Us to try out the Jumperoo. I LOVE it. Jump jump jump... Check it out, I may be the next spokeperson for Fisherprice =)



Daddy measured me on 30th July and he praised me for growing so well, 67cm!! Mummy has been tracking my growth, plotting them on the chart against the WHO standard. heard Mummy exclaimed when she told Daddy that I'm like above the 100th percentile. Woohoo..I'm a tall girl and I'm determined to join Daddy for his marathon/biathelon/triathelon.. I'm a Daddy's girl.

Look, I can hold my head up too. Everyone has been telling me that I have strong bones and neck. Of course right, Mummy's milk is rich in all kinds of nutrients and anti-bodies. I used to fuss about tummy time, but I'm enjoying it now. I'm trying hard to flip over from back to tummy, and Mummy has been giving me a lot of encouragement as she helps to roll me over. Oh, I'm also learning how to crawl. Mummy will bend my knees and place her hands against my feet as I kick and push myself forward. This is so much fun..



Other than the physical training, it is also important to exercise my eyes and brain. So whenever I'm in the mood, Mummy will bring out the flash cards and wave them at me. She makes Daddy do the same too. I wonder why I get all excited when I look at the black and white images.



Erm, this doesn't seem right.. I've been sitting in my Bumbo for quite some time now. I'm getting bored. Where's my entertainment?? Where's my milk??
