5 Months Old!

Our little one is 5 months old!

She now weighs 7.32kg and measures 68cm. Very lively, robust and healthy. Most happy when she wakes up in the morning, but can get very cranky as the day passes on. She loves to put anything and everything she sets her hands on into her mouth, including her own feet. Her latest trick is pretending to cough.

She does not have stranger anxiety, but can be extremely unfriendly if you are a stranger and she doesn't really like your face. She usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. To win her heart and her smile, you'll have to be good at entertaining her. =)

中秋节赏月

Swimming again!

Daddy and Mommy brought me to Safra Yishun for some real swimming! The water's a little cold at first, but I got used to it almost immediately. Soon I was paddling happily in the pool. The pool's a little too crowded with many many older boys and girls also paddling and playing in it.

I was enjoying myself until I accidentally put my whole face in the water. Oh boy! That was so scary that I panicked! Fortunately Mommy came to my rescue. She hugged me tightly to soothe me and I felt much better soon after.

I hope we will be doing this more often.

Potato Puree

After the first failed attempt at trying to introduce baby rice to Tessa, we decided to experiment with "real" food.

Ingredient - 1 small potato
Directions:
1) Peel the potato
2) Steam till soft
3) Add breast milk and mash until smooth

Tessa loves it! She used both hands to guide Mom's hand towards her mouth. Encouraged, we shall continue to experiment with other vegetables like carrot, pumpkin, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and so on.

My Mary-jane

That's my new pair of maryjane socks that my Siao Mommy sent for me from the USA. Very nice hor?



That's me practising my baby yoga. This is my favourite pose.

Identity Crisis

That day, we were at Sheng Siong. Mom was carrying Tessa and waiting for us to gather all the groceries we needed. The sales ladies exclaimed how cute Tessa is. Granny was beaming with pride and joy until....

One lady added, "So cute!!!! VERY handsome boy!!!" *faint faint*

Look! I Can Swim!

I went for my first swimming lesson at Punggol Plaza last Saturday. It was so fun!

I splished, splashed, kicked and turned round and round in the water. I had so much fun! But it was very tiring though. I fell asleep on our way back home after that.

Daddy and Mommy were discussing about buying me the neck float and putting me into George gonggong's bath tub. I don't know what difference that would make, but I guess it doesn't matter so long I get to play in the water. Woohoo!!!!
