Orchidville... Night Safari??

I am all dressed up for Daddy's company family day @ Orchidville today, with the event ending @ Night Safari.

I could barely sit still in my stroller, not to mention on daddy or mummy's lap. And I was unusually "noisy" as well.. so much so that one of daddy's colleagues 2 year old daughter decided that she doesn't want their family to have another baby... ok mummy has to admit that Zee Yann is much more vocal this evening. So halfway through the event, daddy & mummy took me out to the open air for a slow walk - it was a nice respite from the blasting speakers.. but it would have been even better if there were more orchids in bloom.

As I am unusually cranky today, possibly due to the big & loud crowd + lack of sleep, daddy & mummy decides not to continue with the Night Safari visit. But we will be there soon!

My Feeding Schedule + Menu

My typical weekday feeding schedule at Grandma's house is as follows:

08:00am - 200ml milk
11:30am - Lunch (Porridge or Mashed carrot/pumpkin/potato/spinach/sweet potato etc..)
01:00pm - 180ml milk
04:30pm - 180ml milk
06:30pm - Dinner (Same as Lunch)
07:30pm - Fruit (Scraped apple/banana/papaya/grape etc..)
08:30pm - 180ml Milk

Mummy is still thinking how to drop 1 more milk feed, i.e. remove 1pm milk feed cos I still tend to finish most if not all of my milk feeds!

And as I am relatively active now, mummy is worried if I do not eat enough, it can't keep up with my high metabolic rate!

My First Swim!

Finally, my long awaited first swim is happening today! So glad that my swimming kaki - Cheryl has finally recovered from her nasty bout of viral infection. So off we go to Costa Del Sol..

Cheeky & posey Cheryl with her latest stunt - Supergal? Too bad we din capture pic of her "pointing the 3rd finger"..

Auntie Grace prepared a sumptuous porridge for Cheryl & myself. Lunch consists of porridge with carrot, spinach & added pork loin to enhance the taste - all doubled-boiled for several hours, no wonder it tastes so yummy!

Both Cheryl & I need to take our afternoon nap cos it's already 3+! So by the time we wake up, it's almost 5pm and yes, it's time for a good splash & workout!!

My First Father's Day Celebration!

Happy Father's Day to you daddy! And here's my first card to you for being such a wonderful dad! *Big round of applause*

And I'm learning new tricks recently. Getting bored with picking up objects on my four, I prefer to pull myself up to standing now. The moment I get hold of some support, up I go!! Next, I will try to maintain my balance, let go of my hands/grip.. & down I come!!

My First Picnic!

Tea break time...



Mummy decides to introduce new snack during tea-time today. Super duper expensive 小馒头.. & being new to such "hard" texture, it took me a while for my gum to get the acts right.. & it's 1,2,3... 10 in total! Not an easy feat considering that I am still bo-gay!


Picnic time!

The weather seems good in the late afternoon, so off we go to Pasir Ris Park for some fresh air. As it's a wkend cum school holiday, it's packed with people doing all sorts of activities! And here I am to join in the fun too!

My 4th PD visit

I am due for my 2nd pneumococcal jab today. As usual, it feels like an "insect bite" on my butt & before I can protest, the pain is already gone. No reason to cry out loud, so I juz make some noise to make sure they acknowledge my complain. (Hush hush baby) And today I weigh 8.3kg & 71.7cm (7 months & 1 week).

Thank goodness I did not develop any fever nor other symptoms within the next few hours, & off we go for dinner @ Ms Clarity Cafe.

See how active I am (4 hours after my jab)



Can't sit still in a high chair (wonder waz so interesting behind.. can't stopped looking around)

I can pull myself up to sitting with ease now

3 days ago, I managed to pull myself up to sitting for the very first time but somehow daddy thought it was more of a coincidence that I got it right.

And as if to prove them wrong, I repeatedly pull myself up to sitting a few times tonite & it's so amusing to see them getting all so excited as they witness my "stunts".

My first 端午节！

I didn't know cousins Matthew & Jonathan will be dropping by grandma's place today & it was indeed a pleasant surprise to see them again. I heard they've just returned from Gold Coast - how exciting & fun it must have been! And it's so sweet of cousin Matthew to remember me & got me a gift, again! How blessed I am..

There were so many people around & mummy decides to give my milk feeding in the room in case I get too distracted. And in no time, I'm back to my regular exercise regime.. heehee






No Baby, you can't put everything into your mouth!!



As much as I am exhausted, I barely sleep an hour in the afternoon & I am awake. Since I appear to be rather alert, mummy decides that we might as well go out earlier to meet more frenz of my age.



Do we all look like we are born around the same month??!!

Kyros is catching up real fast (even tho he is barely 4 months old) & look how happy Destinee is! I am a bit cranky & can't help but to catch a quick nap.. cos I am so tired today.. *yawn*

I am 7 months old!

Another month has gone by & I am another month older today! And what a nice weather this morning is, with light showers and drizzling.. my morning short nap becomes longer as a result too.

And mummy is making me fresh broccoli puree to expand my food repertoire using the U-like blender. But she has added too much water so my brown rice cereal is slightly thicker than usual to balance out. As it was my first attempt at broccoli, I did not take on to the taste immediately. I keep making funny faces & giving some yucky looks to mummy as she feeds me the greenish looking mixture.. As we are running late for our lunch appointment with grandma, it is a mad rush to make sure I eat, poo & bathe within 1 hr.

And we actually made it!

It is already past my afternoon nap time when we leave the restaurant & I fall asleep in the car within 5 minutes. By the time we reach home, daddy & mummy are both so exhausted & end up the 3 of us co-sleep on the king-sized bed from 4pm through 6pm! Dinner is late & perhaps its due to the hunger, or perhaps its the addition of banana that makes the meal more palatable.. I manage to polish my bowl clean this time! (My usually greenish poo is even greener tonite according to daddy.. thanks to all the broccoli!)

Sexy Bali Gal?

Uncle How is finally back from his long Europe trip & I've got new clothing again! And all can't wait to see me in this new sun dress/hat although its still a little too big for me at this point. And luckily daddy decides to drop by grandma's place this morning before leaving for BKK later - this pic that daddy sends to mummy has made her day!
