see, that's who i m.

i m ALWAYS faced with dilemma. ALWAYS need to go through a series of struggling prior to any purchase, especially when comes to chloe's baby gear selection. hubby always complaining that i have been too much of a perfectionist ...

after struggling for nearly 2 months, i FINALLY got a 2-in-1 walker (walker & bouncer) and a combi stroller (miracle turn) for little chloe. of 'cos, behind the scene, there r many many more other things to be considered, eg. the safetyness, the functions, the price, the color and bla bla bla ... hence, i m so so exhausted after making a decision. hai ... i really hope i can b a little more decisive and less perfectionist minded.

Last Vaccination Before 1 YO

took little chloe to see dr woon on thurs ... she weigh 8 kgs and 70 cms long now. dr woon given her rotavirus vaccination 2nd dose, and that settled all her vaccinations before 1 year old. look at the picture, does she look like a little boy? hehehe ... that's my little sweetie ...

Baby Can Sit

little chloe can now sit momentarily on her own! nevertheless, sometimes she needs to lean forward on her hands for support and stability ...

Chloe Is Half A Year Old!

*

wow, little chloe has reached the half-year mark!! She is now spending most of the time she's awake playing, babbling, looking at and touching everything. she is able to sit momentarily without assistance (by leaning forward on both arms), and she begins to prop herself up on her arms and hold her chest off the ground, sort of doing a push up! i try putting her on floor as much as possible so that she can practice her push ups more often.

she can now sleeps through the night without waking up for milk milk. nevertheless, i still need to wake up once or twice in the middle of the night when she is going through an interval of very light slumber. she could be cooing, squirming or even doing push ups (with eyes close), but still be asleep (III) ... and i need to keep adjusting her position by putting her to sleep on her back (rather than tummy), pat pat her (if necessary) when she is on the verge of drifting off so that she can go back to sleep as quickly as possible. Looking after her is really an endless cycle, along the tender moments comes really tough adjustments, however i do enjoy every single moment of watching her development. It is something that cannot be repeated.

A Messy Eater

*

this is how messy she is when we are feeding her semi-solid. i think the bib has a more balanced diet than she does, heehee. when feeding, i always take a bite of her food, react in an exaggerated way and say, "hmmmmm ........ YUMMMMY!" let her catch the spirit so that she will guai guai finishes the whole 4 oz of semi-solid. i m now giving her roughly 1 1/2 oz of Heinz fruity puree and followed by 2 1/2 oz of Holle organic millet porridge + Heinz organic golden vegetable mash for lunch and dinner. Holle is a brand from Germany.

Baby or Work?

judging from the number of posts i have been putting up, i guess one would realize that i've been SUPER BUSY recently. when I've got a lot of working assignments on hand, i can be somewhat myopic. i have more than 70 students at hand ... hopefully can accomplish at least 50 of them ... so that I don't have to work for the next half a year and can focus more on the needs of my baby. i feel so so sooooooooo guilty for not spending enough quality time with her nowadays, and frankly speaking, I wasn't prepared for that. i want to go to work, yet spend time with little chloe. sometimes I wonder how other mommies do it.

Jab Session

brought chloe to see pd Dr Woon for jab the other day. this time round, she weighed 7.8kgs and was 68cm long. pd given her hexa 6-in-1 and rotavirus oral medicine. there were 26 patients on Dr Woon's list, end up we waited for nearly 3 hours before it was chloe's turn. gosh ...

Chloe's Hand & Foot Print

we bought a print putty kit the other day and did chloe's hand & foot print on our own when hubby was here. it was fun!!!! ... but very messy ...

at first, i kneaded the putty for approximately 30 sec to remove any flakes and bubbles. after that, i placed it on a piece of aluminum foil and used the wooden rolling pin to smooth out the surface. then, we gently pressed chloe's right foot onto the putty and removed. we managed to get a good foot print with just 2 attempts. after cutting the putty into rectangular shape, we decided to use the excess to do another hand print. muahaha ... this time round is tougher ... whenever we tried to remove chloe's palm from the putty, she grasped it tightly. gosh ... however, we still managed to get a nice hand print after several attempts. little chloe obviously puzzled by what we did. she was a little frustrated while looking at us pressing her hand into the putty again and again. hahaha ... here are some pictures taken ...
