Silence Spells Trouble’s Brewing!

The house is often filled with Baby’s chatter, laughter, cries or screams. When she’s around and there’s silence, I can be rest assured that this fella is up to something that’s a bane in the house, like playing with plasters: And she sure knows how to choose the Disney tattoo plasters over the plain white…

Accident Prone Cassandra

When Sherilyn was 1-3yo, she was very prone to accidents and gave me umpteen heart-stopping moments. Now, the jinx has moved to Baby, sigh…. and she’s very accident prone too. From the moment she was born up until now, she has given me countless near-faint moments. On the day before our trip to Penang, Baby…

Penang Here We Come

We were back in Ipoh yesterday.  In a few hours’ time, we will travel to Penang.  A holiday in Penang for us (twice yearly) is set for us for the next 10 years until Baby turns 12 years old.  She needs to do an ultrasound scan of her kidney twice yearly until she turns 12. …

Habits Are Hard To Die

Habits are hard to die. Remove the letter H, you still have ‘a bit’… remove the letter A, you still have ‘bit’ and remove the letter B, you still have IT!! Baby is having a ‘relapse’ and is back to her addiction of mummy’s boobs several days ago, albeit a mild addiction, which normally spikes…

Withdrawal Symptoms

One of Baby’s boops weaning withdrawal symptoms is that she would refuse to nap in the afternoon. We used to nap together in the afternoon and she would latch on to her comfort tools for comfort sucking and would easily drift into lalaland. Ever since she was weaned off my boops, she would refuse to…

Fascinated With Plasters

I was busy working on the PC and Baby was playing by herself. She went into her mah mah’s bedroom and rummaged through her drawers. Then she ran outside to the living room and sat on the couch. Then there was silence for about 15 minutes. I thought she was watching an interesting TV program…

My Little Acrobat

After 2 weeks of being weaned from my boops, Baby is still suffering from withdrawal symptoms. She has become very rebellious, very whiny and screamy and is resisting everything that I ask her to do… from peeing to napping, sleeping and everything else. Yesterday she woke up from her afternoon nap screaming and then climbed…

Water Baby

Cassandra is another water baby just like Alycia. She loves the pool to bits and is not afraid of the water but sadly, I can’t allow her to swim in the pool. After a post-surgery UTI attack in December last year, which was after a dip in the pool in Hard Rock Hotel Penang, I…

Driving Me Bonkers

Baby is now at the stage where she wants to be independent and wants to do everything herself. She wants to feed herself, dress up herself, shower herself and even clean herself up after she had pooped. Yesterday after pooping in her diaper, she refused to have me clean her up. This fella is driving…

Cassandra, My Little Model

I spent a big part of my morning, sweating and pulling my hair trying to get Baby to dress up and pose for me to snap her pix. My stock for the Suri Cruise (Magic Cube and Amissa brand) dresses arrived yesterday and some sizes are still up for grab, thus I decided that if…

Withdrawal Symptoms

Baby has been having withdrawal symptoms on the 3rd day she’s weaned off my boops. On day 2, she was alright as we were out shopping at Mid Valley Megamall for 5 hours. The withdrawal symptoms appeared since yesterday (3rd day). She kept asking to munch on snacks – biscuits, organic crackers, cherry tomatoes, biscuits…
