Siblings @ 5mth+

Our dearest girl

It’s another 2 weeks before she hit a half year old.  During the last vaccination checkup on her 5th months, she weigh only 6.3kg(just a 300g from a mth ago).  Unlike Hayden, Suzanne is an not a overly chubby baby. This little girl at this young age already know the “damage/harm” of being too fatchubby…:) Mom had been “complainting” everyday on her milk in-take. It didnt increase milk and now she is still drinking 100ml per feed, every 3-4 hourly.  It will take as long as 1.5 hrs to feed her if she is awake and a little better while asleep.  Mom as like any other older folk prefer a BIG baby so she compaint every now and then…  I do feel the same too but well, I suppose as long as she is healthy it should not matter whether she is chubby or not..:) 

Other than her feeding habits, she is a cute and active little girl.  She love to play and “talk”.  She sleep lesser now.  When it comes to her dearest, I think it has to be me cos she only want me to carry her if she has a choice over it..:) and this made my day..:) 

Curly Hair

Mommy:  Who is curly hair?

Hayden: Me

His last hair cut was on 3rd Decemeber 07.  It had been almost 4 months now and what we see is a new him…  it all grown into lovely curls…:)  We love to tease him with who is/has curly hairs and he will proudly reply that it is him. So cute and I didnt want to part with the curls either… save me some $$$ on haircut. haha

Fever & neb

We have been grounded for the past 3 weeks with Hayden first falling sick 3 weeks ago and me gotten high fever on the Good Friday weekend, and lastly ended with Daddy with flu & sore throat.  Poor meimei havent been out for a while, in fact she has not been really out.  We thought it is quite “troublesome” to bring her out and find is difficult to feed her with EBM while we are out etc etc.  Funny thing is we dont feel this way during Hayden time, he had been out almost every weekend after his first month.  Anyway, with meimei turning 6 months soon and also feeding half on formula milk… think it is time to resume back to our weekend activities…:)

3 weeks ago Hayden was caught was a very high fever and cough.  It was so long ago so I wont go into the details… just want to share on the cough part he need to be neberlised.  It used to be a pain to everyone when he need to be neb, but now it is a breeze…:)  He glading hold on to the neberliser and enjoy the “ride”. See video and you will know what I mean.

My health seem to be falling every since Suzanne was borned.  I was hit by high fever almost every month and as I recalled it always happen on public holiday - Christmas, Chinese New Year Day 2 & Good Friday…:(  It was terrible and hope it gets better now.

Teacher-parents gathering

One 7 March 08, Treasure Box hosted a teacher & parent meet together session at Seng Kang Community Center.  The event starts at 7.30pm and the school will ferry all the kids to the venue before the parents arrive.  We were told that the kids will have a little performance to suprise their parents and honestly this is the real reason why we attended the event…:)

Theme of the day is BLUE and all of us are suppose to dress in blue.  We were hiding everywhere when we arrive for fear that Hayden may see us and affect his performance so we hide all the way and wait eagerly to see what surprise little boy is giving us.

When the MC announced that N1 kids from Parry branch is performing, I get all ready with my camera in video mode but to my disappointment, Hayden wasnt among all the kids on the stage. So the first thing that some to my mind was little boy is just not cooperating, so I turn off my camera and return back to the seat.  Next the show goes on to other class etc…  Suddenly, there I heard the MC announcing again that N1 from Parry Branch is going to dance “泥娃娃”, I jump with excitment and zoom to a good location where I can video the show….. and here it is:

Back home, I teased hom umpteen times to dance 泥娃娃…:)

Long lag

I have been asked by a few people on the lack of updates on this blog. Well, I guess there is no excuse to that, I am just lazy..:)  Ask anyone with 2 young kids and you will know the reason…;p  I hardly have moods for anything now, plus the time need to spend on expressing milk for Suzanne is all making me so tired but I keep telling myself that I have to keep doing this until it is enough… so the down side to all this is I have not much time left for the online community.  Anyway, from now on, I will try to update at least once a week on little things that happen that worth mentioning…:)

Flip

Suzanne reaches another milestone being able to flip.  She could flip 1-way continuously for so many times.  We just have to flip her back for her to demostrate again & again…:)

Today she also had her vaccination taken for her 5in1, Pneumoccoal and rotavirus all for the 2nd dose.  She weigh 6.03kg and 61cm.  I am also concern on her weight as but PD advise she is doing fine since now at 4 months, her weight is double of her birthweight.  Anyway, I will be contented as long as she is healthy…:)

And guess what? Her 2 little white tooth is starting to show..;p

Hayden is 3

We had an early celebration for Hayden’s birthday at Treasure Box today since the actual day fall on a sunday.  Concidently, today is his actual birthday on the lunar calender…:)  Anyway, we both took a day off so that we can witness little boy browing out his 3 candles.

As told by the teachers, we reach the center at 3pm when the kids have just wake up from their nap.  Hayden was a little surprise when he see us and also ALL the kids jump with joys when they see the Thomas The Train cake…

2kg fresh cream TTT cake

Another of his classmate, Justine is also celebrating her birthday today, so all the kids are so happy that they get to sing the Happy birthday song twice and having 2 birthday cake.  Well, let the following pictures tell all the story then:

He’s so Happy

Our Chinese New Year…

Reunion Dinner

We had our reunion with the maternal grandparent on the 3 Feb 08(Sun).  Steamboat at home with some home cook food, not forgetting the all times favourite –> Ngoh Hiong.  This year I have a more peaceful meal as Hayden is pretty well behave at the dinner table and Suzanne is just satify looking at us from her rocky chair…:) Only thing is Hayden was sick for that new year week so he didnt appear to be as lively as before and most of the time.

Reunion dinner with the paternal grandparents were at home too.  It was pretty rush as brother & sister in law are rushing through the dinner to get to the other side of the family by 6pm.  So we rush thru the 1 hours and then head home.  No pic taken on that day though…

1st Day

Her first ang-bao from my & hubby.

For the past year, we usually will visit the temple on the 1st day of new year before going for house visiting. But we skip it for this year, mainly due to the inconvenience of bring an infant to gather with the crowd.  We take things rather slow this year… sleep in, change and just visit grandparent from both side.  Suzanne was so sweet with her pink dress and Hayden insist to put on an OLD T-shirt out.  No picture of Hayden on that day too, he is a bit cranky and difficult when he is sick, just like a baby….:)

2nd day

I had a very bad throat the night before and tot of visiting a doctor but on a second thoughts, I decided to take Strepsils instead.  Bought 2 boxes from Guardians.  Stay at home today and in-law pop in for a visit.  Other than that, we have a lazy day taking nap and having another round of steamboat at home.

My throat didnt get better and in fact it hurt so much that I had to drop in a 24 hours clinic on 3rd day of NY at 10pm. Cost me $60 for a pax of antibotics!
