New member into our family

I have a little brother.

He was born on the 12th Nov 2009.

He is 15 months younger than me.

I think I like him. Because mummy says I know how to pat him as and when I see him. Sometimes when he cries, I also go and bring his pillows for him.

But sometimes I think I am jealous of him too. Evidence: I am seen hugging mummy's or grandma's legs whenever they are rocking baby bro Zejun to sleep.

Hmmm.. I am not too sure about that...

Hopefully we will grow up to be great companions.

Some Thoughts of Mummy

2009-10-01T12:52:00.000+08:00

So happy that Baby Leiya is staying with Mummy and Daddy for these few weeks ... as grandparents' house is under renovation.

Mummy made an effort to spend almost all the time she can with her - went straight back after school everyday, din plan anything in the noons or the weekends..

Mummy somehow still feels that she did not give enough for Baby Leiya. Maybe cos of no 2 in her, she feels that she did not do all she can to her. She is not able to carry and hug Leiya as much as she wants. She cannot sit on the floor and play with Leiya on the Hello Kitty playmat. She has difficulty playing and bathing Leiya on the weekends as her movements are clumsy and slow. She cannot bring Leiya out on her own whenever Leiya wants to. She feels that she owes Leiya in these ways but she cannot do much except to maximise time with her. Also at the same time, she feels that she has neglected no 2 too. She hasn't been eating as nutritiously as what she did when she had Leiya. She hasn't been paying attention to the movements in her as much as she used to. She din apply the soothing hot oil on her stomach as she did for Leiya previously. She din even keep track of the actual number of weeks she is in through the pregnancy. She also hasn't really think of a name for him yet.

Sometimes Mummy feels that she has failed in both aspects. Sigh.

Ashley's Bday

2009-08-18T09:52:00.000+08:00

Went to Ashley's Bday on the 16th Aug (Sunday).

Ashley is actually 5 days younger than me. Hee. She is born on the 17th Aug.

Her Hello Kitty birthday cake is pretty but it is a pity that Mummy forgot to capture it on the camera.

She is also dressed in a pretty party skirt.

We managed to take some photos with the rest of the babies, namely Mason and Lucas.

Actual Birth Day

2009-08-15T12:26:00.000+08:00

During the celebration at Aranda's, I din get to eat my B-day cake cos Daddy said it is too chocolatey and too sweet. Sob.

But Mummy compensate me with another cake on my actual Birthday - on the 12th Aug. I am so happy. She bought a blueberry cake for me. Hee.

And I love eating it !!!

Thank you Mummy and Daddy !!!

Mummy loves Baby Leiya !!!

2009-08-14T06:48:00.000+08:00

My girl has turned 1.

She is big girl now.

Mummy is so proud of her.

Some of her favourite activities:

pouting and making a pig mouth which makes everyone smile and laugh at although it is obviously not a nice sight.. haha... but she's just too cute!

pointing her index finger to things around her and she does it so cutely and that she makes everyone so happy.

enjoys playing with Uncle Tse Han's Lego blocks - pulls out every connected blocks and even places her index finger into the holes of the blocks to show us. So innovative.

calls out to strangers to allow them to sense her presence. So embarrassing at times when Mummy and Daddy bring her for walks and strolls.

loves to eat her favourite strawberry puffs from Gerber Graduates. She knows Mummy will definitely bring them out whenever we go shopping or having meals outside.

can grasp food from our palms and feed them straight into her mouth without dropping it.

loves to watch her dvds, especially Barney shows and Gracie Low sing-along nursery songs. She nods and shakes with the characters in the show. So cute!!!

enjoys to check into people's bags.. especially Mummy's and Daddy's ... she even demands Mummy's wallet almost everyday and she makes an effort to take out her cards one by one and put them back. Sometimes she even checks the coin pouch too!!!

never forgets her evening strolls with Mummy and Daddy. Always point to the door and shout out at the correct timing.

loves to use Mummy's handphone to press Daddy's number (of course with the help of Mummy guiding her on the keypad) and pretend to call him by placing the phone against her ear.

No matter what she does, she is adorable and lovable in each and every way. Mummy loves U.

My Birthday Celebration

2009-08-13T09:26:00.000+08:00

I am one today !!!

Mummy and Daddy had a celebration with me 1 week ago at the Aranda Country Club. They invited their friends, our relatives to share the joy together. We had even a night stay there before the party on Sunday (2nd Aug 2009). Everything seemed so perfect and well and Daddy even mentioned that he enjoyed the Saturday night we spent at E-hub there. I also enjoyed myself very much although we had to squeeze on a queen-sized bed to sleep at night and Mummy had to wake up to boil hot water before my feeding times. Hahaha... But I knew that everyone was enjoying the new experience. *smilez*

Below are some photos we have taken on that occasion.

A day @ Ikea with Mum & Dad

Super Busy & Tiring Weekend - but Happy

2009-03-17T23:10:00.000+08:00

Hey.. Guess where I went?

15th March 2009 - a record day. Hee.

I woke up around 7 am for my morning milk feed. Mummy & Daddy brought me for company for their usual breakfast at the nearby coffeeshop. We reached home around 9 plus and mummy decided to put me to sleep for a while. Cos I am going to have a busy & long day later. Haha..

At 10am, we started off. To the Singapore Khalsa Association. For Daddy's indian colleague's wedding. And the place is at Balestier there. I managed to sit and play for the trip in the cab. We stayed there for sometimes till around 11 plus for the marriage ceremony to be over. And I actually drank another milk feed during the ceremony then. Hee.

We then set off to somewhere even further. Make a guess? Bukit Batok. For another wedding. Also Daddy's friend. Now thinking back, I also dun know how I managed to survive the trip there. Anyway, we reached there around 12 noon where the solemnisation was supposed to begin. However, we waited till 1 plus, the solemniser hadn't appeared and we went off cos I am sleepy already and want to sleep already. But I did have lots of fun playing with Dad's NIE friends there - especially Uncle Kang Bin who kept making me giggle and smile at the restaurant there. *Smilez

On our way back home, I slept in Mummy's lap and arms for the entire journey. I guess I was tired. It was a 30 min trip and it was a good nap.

I woke up immdiately when the cab stopped and I smiled at Mummy and Daddy. I knew it was back to Home Sweet Home. Hee. Mummy always says the flower gate - is Leiya's home. Ha. Mummy changed me into comfortable wear and I continued my sleep in the crib.

Evening time I have another show to run.... ahaha... My granduncle's son's 12th birthday chalet at the Aloha Loyang Resort. We went there around 6 pm. We stayed there for sometimes. My grandaunts and uncles took turns to play with me and carried me. At around 830pm, I was tired again and cried to want to be rocked to sleep. I managed to sleep after a milk feed and slept on the bed in the room - while the birthday boy blew his candles in the living room. I woke up after a 20 min nap and then we made our way home.

It was a tiring day but nevertheless, Mummy and Daddy are proud of me of being able to go out with them for such an eventful day.

Cheerios.

My recent Hobby

2008-11-17T22:13:00.000+08:00

I love to suck my thumb .. oops .... no ...rather it is my fist these days..

I can put my whole fist into my mouth ...

And Dad says the way I suck makes him miss eating drumstick.

Ha...

And Mum n Dad insist on getting a drumstick each from KFC yesterday for dinner.

Hee.. the power of my fist. *wink*

2nd weekend Home Sweeet Home

2008-11-10T12:54:00.000+08:00

It is another weekend spent at home, with mum n dad.
But this time round, there are more happenings during this one n a half day.
Dad n Mum brought me for strolls! Hee.
Something that we have not done yet. It seems such a simple task but to bring me out for long and to anywhere other than staying at home needs to be planned carefully. Hahah.. Cos I am quite grumpy at times... or should I say most of the time?
I need my yao lan ... after feed.. I can play n stay awake for one to two hr.. after that I need it immediate. Hence, we ( Dad, Mum + me) only manage to stroll around our estate. But nevertheless, they are enjoyable trips. With dad n Mum pushing me on the pram ... n I must say.. the weather is quite good.. windy..nice...
But then again, I think I dislike being inside the lift.. dun like the enclosed feeling and the pressure, I guess.. almost to the extent of crying in fear no matter how Dad n Mum tried to attract my attention. Guess I need to learn to be more brave.. maybe more practice?? That means more outings?? *wink*
The night was fine. With me sleeping for 6 hours in a row from 930 pm to 330 pm. Ha.. Forgot to wake up for feed. Hee. It must be Dad's good rocking and swaying of my yao lan. Thank you Dad.
Ahah.. I forgot to mention that I like something in my home.. the leaf lamp. Everytime Dad n Mum brings me near it, I will always stare at it.. it kinda of reflects light n I love to see such things round. Dad, remember to buy such reflecting things around the house for me!
Tonight I will miss them again. Hmph.
I look forward to the holidays soon. Mum promises to bring me back and take care of me.
Mum n Dad, I look forward to that. *smile*

But I know Dad has been calling Mum to check on me. *Smilez..

I look forward to you coming back tommorow.

Home Sweeeet Home

2008-10-28T13:06:00.000+08:00

I was back at home .. Finally. Over the long weekend. Dad n Mum took care of me and they really spent their time with me over these days.

Both mum n dad took turns to rock me to sleep during the day, dad took over wholesale during the night.. Mum fed and bathed me ... they played with me and made me smile and laugh .. I am so happy with them! *smilez* And I know they feel the same way too!

I am gonna miss them tonight .. without them with me throughout the night.

But then again, I am looking forward to the next weekend.

Daddy's Post

2008-09-30T12:26:00.000+08:00

Daddy: Heard this song on radio during reservist. The lyrics made me miss my baby more. Especially during the parts
"Feeling Fine, Sublime. When the smile of yours creep into my mind"
and
"Nobody told me it feels so good.
Nobody said you'd be so beautiful.
Nobody warned me about your smile.
You're the light, you're the light, when I close my eyes."
