A Near-Miss Heart Attack

I almost had a heart attack on Friday last week. Baby had climbed up the couch and was pushing the sliding mozzie net on the window. When one panel of the mozzie net went off the track, I tried to fix it. It really ain’t easy putting the sliding mozzie net panel back on track….

Baby’s Latest Craze

Baby’s latest craze is climbing up table tops and then grab a pen, pencil, marker pen, highlighter or whatever that has color and go doodling on any paper or book she sees. Here she is in action: Scribbling on Sherilyn jie jie’s pre-school’s flash cards…. Scribbling on Alycia jie jie’s rough book.  Though Alycia loves Baby…

Baby’s Nightly Routine

I think I will have not much problems weaning Baby from co-sleeping with us on our king-sized bed. That’s because she absolutely adores sleeping with her 2 jie jies. Each night before she goes to bed with me, she will run to her jie jies’ bedroom, climb up their beds, pull up their blanky to cover…

Light, Simple And She Likes It!

One afternoon last week, I was searching for lunch ideas for Baby. All her cooked frozen food in the freezer were utilized and I was too lazy to cook. Plus, I didn’t want Baby to get sick of eating pasta, spaghetti, green tea or buckwheat noodles and fried vermicelli all the time. So I prepared something really…

Hairdresser Wannabe

I am quite convinced that rascal #2 will land herself a career either in the beauty industry or in the sales line (she’s bold, thick faced and  can really yak nonsense has a gift of gab). She’s super duper vain and must have her hair either tied up or clipped up, even when she goes to bed at…

Welcoming Baby’s Terrible Twos

Lately, Baby will throw herself onto the floor if her whims and fancies are not met. She’s the princess of the family. Everything that she wants, she gets it… most of the time but in times when we just can’t accede to her whims, she will bawl and plop herself onto the floor and then…

Dad’s Homecooked Food

When my parents were here last week, my dad took over the wok one afternoon and cooked fried vermicelli. After happily sweating it out in the kitchen (my dad is naturally a talented cook and loves whipping out dishes for us), my dad suddenly remembered he had forgotten to put the marinated pork into the…

Why, Why Baby?

Why, why Baby are you waking up at 6am everyday for the past 2 days? Once this happens, mummy’s plan will go haywire. You don’t want Kakak or daddy but only want mummy, no one else but mummy!! Aiyoyo Baby girl, mummy has to supervise Alycia jie jie so that she gets ready by 6:30am. …

Princess Treatment

Since birth, Baby has been treated like a princess. Why? One, she’s the baby of the family. Two, we have to shower her with more love and TLC because of the frequent UTIs and pain that she had gone through. We love her even more after seeing what she had gone through during her 3-week ordeal in…

Water Guzzler

Baby can guzzle down water from her sippy cup pretty easily. She likes it even more if she is given water from our cup or from our tumbler. Here, she’s drinking water from my tumbler. She even knows how to tilt the tumbler gently so that the water will not come gushing down on her. …

She’s Afraid Of No Chillies

My 2 older gals love nasi lemak, Indian food or anything that is spicy. When they were younger, they could not stomach spicy stuff but as they grow older, their palate evolved and now, spicy food spice up their mood and appetite!  This bowl of Nyonya nasi lemak (minus the sambal which I find was too…

Baby Flosses Her Teeth

Food always gets lodged between Baby’s 2 bottom front incisors (she only has 2 teeth at the bottom) and it always has to be there and no more where else. Removing the food from between the teeth is a tall order. I normally use a wet hanky but at times, I would accidentally hurt her gums…

Baby’s Appetite Has Returned, YAY!

After a bout of super low appetite during her recent UTI attack, Baby’s appetite has made a come back, at an all-time high since Saturday. On Saturday, she ate 1 full bowl of chicken-pork ribs-abalone porridge. Porridge was something that she never really fancied but that night, she gobbled down the porridge. Yesterday night over…

Baby ‘Discharged’ From Hospital

Yesteray I tried using the potty method to collect Baby’s pee.  I used 2 sterilizing tablets to sterilize the potty prior to getting Baby to pee inside. After she had peed, I poured the pee into the sterile specimen bottle. The results still showed some WBC, though reduced significantly. When I told the paed about my…
