More updates

Just days after my previous updates, I learnt how to stand on my own while holding on to anything. Now I love standing from my cot.

During dinner times at home, I'm now left in my cot while the rest eat away at the dining table. My cot is put right next to them so this is what you will see....


and this too...since I can't eat their food, I find my cot really yummy...and everything else I can get my hands on.


Do you blame me...since I also see this....




Since I can sit upright straight, I love to do this on my own in my bath tub. When mummy moves me to wash my bum, I can even scold her. I love my baths so much that I will cry when it's time to get out.




On my eating habits... I somehow love to get my right foot up on to the table while eating....



The thing is, my sister also had the same habit....

So mummy wonders whether it's in our genes or it's a baby's thing...



And as you all know how clingy I am at home, this is usually the sight when mummy sits at the computer....


Aren't I just the cheekiest, adorable baby?! :)

Mummy's entry - 7 months update and photos

Gosh, I'm so bad at updating this blog (and the other 2 blogs as well). Trust me, I do feel guilty about the lack of posts here but seriously, maintaining 3 blogs is no joke!


what r u looking at? i know my bum's too cute. :)

Anyway, when Haye Li reached 6 months old, (seems to be a trend again), this girl was having a fever and we were supposed to take her for her pneumococcal jab. Hence, she escaped the jab for that time but had some medication to take instead for her flu and cough which doesn't seem to go away. Today at 7 months, she is still coughing with phelgm. I'm not that worried in a way as her appetite is still good (taking 2 solids of baby cereal and around 20 plus oz of breastmilk a day). We took her to see her paed last week but found out that her paed was on leave till end of the month, so we have to take her in for her jab next month instead. Thus, I'm not sure about her current weight and height (the last time we were there which was when she was 6 months and she was 6.7kgs). This girl seems to grow taller faster as she's outgrowing her clothes in terms of her length. I think she will be taller than me one day. I can't say the same for her sister though. :)

every single thing that i pick up will go into my mouth

She can sit up proper now, crawl around pretty fast too and thus, we can't leave her unattended anymore. She tries to stand when she's in her cot but it's a wobbly stand. But she's definitely more stable if she pulls herself up on her knees. Within these few weeks, she should be pretty stable in her standing position already. She seems to be growing faster than her sister too in terms of these except for her hair (which doesn't seem to grow at all since she was born).


Like her sister, she eats better at the daycare than at home. She finishes everything fast there but when she's at home, she takes so long to finish her cereal. I think I need to offer Aunty Ng to stay with us over the weekends already. :)


i prefer the taste of the high chair to my food

my infamous 'blur' look - mummy always say i remind her of papa, we look so much alike!

She is waking up so many times in the night, it's not funny anymore. I think a newborn sleeps longer than her now. I've heard how you can train a baby to sleep through the night by giving them water instead of milk and was never a firm believer in this. In fact, I had a conversation with SIL on this a few months back that it's so sad to give newborns water instead of milk. I never did this with Rye Li as she was a small baby and I thought she needed all the milk she can get and this meant even if I had to wake up 2-3 times a night then. But Rye Li didn't wake up that many times in the night.

outdoors tanning. :)



The last few months, Haye Li has been waking up 3-4 times a night and at times more than that. She will be asleep by 9pm and then wakes up at 11 or 12 pm. And then every 2 hours after that. She just want my boobs to comfort her. The past one week, I could not take it anymore that I resorted into giving her water especially if she wakes up before 3am. It was tough because she was unhappy and kept crying and I just patted her on her back and refused to give in. After the 4th or 5th night like this, she finally woke up slightly later which is around 2am plus. I'm still training her but most times, I'm too tired and will give in to her cries and ultimately, my boob. I look horrible, really like a panda bear. Think I've aged a thousand years, minus the white hair. I'm just praying and hoping that the girl will wake up lesser now. She still catnaps in the day and one would think that she'll be very tired at nights but this girl is not like any other babies I know. The in-laws are in town and I found out that her papa was like this when he was a baby. No wonder! These two rats are really alike, very demanding baby! :D

how can one stay angry for long with a face like this?!

Some updates

We’re late in updating my 5 months old now that I’m nearly 6 months old…so I won’t go backwards (except for the fact that I did get sick shortly after I turned 5 months old as what mummy was predicting earlier – just some coughing and cold).

As of today, I started my very first solids….how was it? I no like it. :D Ok, it was alright at the beginning and then I started spitting them out and then I got cranky and didn’t want it altogether and just want to sleep. Mummy said she will make sure I’m not cranky when she starts again tomorrow.


Interestingly also, my crawling improved today. At least it gets me where I want to go faster than the last few weeks.







I’m still on 100% breast milk (a feat which mummy is trying real hard to maintain). I definitely do not sleep through the night. I can sleep the longest for 4-5 hours maybe from 9 plus pm and then I’m up nearly every hour for feeds. This is a nightmare for mummy and she hopes by starting me on solids, this will improve. As for daytime, I still catnap unfortunately and still mostly stuck to mummy’s nen-nen when I nap over the weekends.

Next weekend, I’ll be going to the docs for my 6th month checkup and also to get my pneumococcal jab. Will update my weight and height then – the last I checked I was 6.5kgs and 62cm in length. Mummy said I’m growing longer (think she meant taller) faster than my sister was growing when she was at my age. Till then, don’t miss me too much! ;)



Here's some pictures of me:-

with my papa, he likes to play 'monkey' with me - by letting me hang on to his fingers while he lifts me up in the air which i love very much (note: i'm holding on to his fingers, not him holding on to me!)





mummy left me out of her sight for several minutes and this is where she found me!

i will definitely look up to her!

4 months updates

It seems to be the trend that when I turned older by another month, I’ll fall sick again. Yes, just when I turned 4 months old, I had the flu again with fever too. This time, I went to see Dr. Lee, my sister’s original pediatrician since my fever kept coming back. Because I was coughing badly, it led to me having an ear infection and I had to be on antibiotics for a week. Mummy was told to come back and see him if my fever don’t go away after 3 days. Luckily, it didn’t but I was coughing for 2 weeks or so. I’m alright now and mummy is keeping her fingers crossed that I don’t fall sick again when I turned 5 months old which is a week away.

I started ‘crawling’ flat down on my tummy over 4 months old but of course I can’t go far. With a lot of effort put in, I’d probably moved a few centimeters. Then I became better at it and now (just over 4 and a half months) I can be on my knees, moving back and forth till I fall all flat down. I can also reach for things I wanna get by this but with a lot of effort still.

My grasping is getting better and whatever I can grab hold of, it will end up in my mouth. If I can’t get things, I will put my finger/s or the whole fist in my mouth, is this a sign of a potential thumb sucker like my sister?! Mummy sure hopes not. I drool a whole lot now as well, always wetting the front of my clothes and thus, the bib-wearing has begun. Luckily, I got some cool hand-me-downs bibs from my sister.

I’m growing at such a speedy rate, mummy is thinking of starting me on solids sooner. She will ask Dr. Koe on this when I go in next weekend for my 5th month checkup. Enjoy some pictures of me first. Mummy was hoping to upload a video of me on my knees but youtube failed on us this time. Will try again later.

on all fours!


all happy and smiley with my new play gym, thanks to kai jin!
