Cassandra @ 7 Months Old

Baby C turned 7 months old on 9 November 2008. She started to cruise 1.5 weeks ago by holding on to the crib railing or the sides of the playpen. I think she will most likely start to walk at 8 months. She has not been able to crawl much lately as we have been…

Baby C A-Ok But Has A ‘Bungalow’ Behind Her Head

After the Humpty Dumpty fall yesterday, Baby C was fine.  No more vomiting, no altered mental status, no blurred vission, still as active and drinking her milk as usual.  But there was quite a bump on the back of her head 🙁    Was very whiny and wanted to be carried for the rest of the…

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the king’s horses and all the king’s men Couldn’t put Humpty together again That’s Baby C’s favorite song for the past several days and it is by singing this song complete with actions that manages to stop Baby C from fussing when…

When All Else Fails To Wake Her Up….

Whenever I have problems waking Alycia up from her sleep in the morning or in the afternoon from her nap, I don’t have to drag her up or use threats or bribes anymore.  I used to have a real hard time getting Alycia to wake up on some days but not anymore now. All I…

Baby C Exercising On My Fitball

That’s me doing some physical stimulation exercises with Baby C on my fitball.  I started this exercise with her 2 days ago.  The first time I placed her on the ball, held her legs and moved her backwards, she cried a little.  I then carried her up and gave her a big hug and comforted…

Baby C Trying To Do Somersaults… And Sherilyn Can Fix A Jigsaw Puzzle

My samseng Baby C loves attempting to do somersaults whenever she’s placed in her crib or on her cheh cheh’s queen sized mattress.  Here are some of her stunts (it wasn’t easy to snap these 2 stunts and I’d taken more than 10 snapshots before I finally captured her in action) : I’m almost rolling forward mummy, I…

No Mood

I have no mood to blog, no mood for anything, for my mind is just on Baby C. I think she has another UTI attack…. Will be bringing her to see our pediatric nephrologist today for her pee to be collected via catheterization, for a urine culture. Please pray that all will go well for…

Doing Physical Stimulation Exercise With Baby C

The experts say that a good physical program is vital for the development of the baby’s brain. Last night I did a little physical stimulation exercise with Baby C, which she always seems to enjoy. She’s another samseng, just like her 2 cheh cheh when they were her age. First, I let her crawl on cheh…

My Daily Diaper-Changing Battle

My battle with Baby C each time I change her diaper started 2 weeks ago. I had this battle with Alycia and Sher too when they were Baby C’s age.  Changing their diaper was such a great challenge that I needed my maids’ help whenever I needed to change their diapers. Now, I  need at least…

Her Cup Is Now Her Favorite Item

I mentioned that I will post about the item that can keep Baby C occupied most of the time, an item that she does not seem to get bored with…. YET…  Today is the 4th day and Baby C is still very much besotted with her Tommy Tippee cup.  Whenever I need to have my meals,…

Baby C Wants New Toys All The Time!

I can hardly have my meals in peace since Baby C turned 3 months old as she wants to be carried ALL the time.  My mistake…. I’ve carried her too much from the beginning.  In fact, everyone in the family is spoiling her because no one can bear to hear her cry.  The moment she fusses, she will…

How Kids Can Make You Look Crazy

I say that coz today, I looked like a ‘soh poh’ (literally means crazy woman) when I wore my mil’s slippers to church LOL!!  As usual, we were rushing like mad to reach church on time. I was outside the door of our house and my 2 older gals were wearing their shoes. I was carrying…

Really Warm-Blooded

Baby C’s body is always hot and she sweats really easily. When she was a newborn, I used to put on long-sleeved rompers for her at night but now, I have to let her wear short-sleeved t-shirts with holes and long pants with holes  at night…. and she sleeps in an air-conditioned room with the temperature…

Baby C Is 6 Months Old Today

How time flies, my baby is 6 months old today.  Baby C is one very, very cheeky baby. She’s always very curious, alert and observant. When she’s brought to a place where she’s never been before, she will inspect the place with great intent with her eyes.  When it comes to nursing her, I have…

Baby C Can Sit!

Baby C has been trying hard to get up on all fours to crawl for the past 1 week or so. Last night, I put her in a sitting position on the bed and she managed to sit on her own by supporting her weight with her 2 hands forward on the bed…. like a bear…
