Our Dancing Queen

Our Little Great Escape Artist

Most likely due to her rash, Tessa has been rubbing her face really hard these days. To prevent her from doing so, we're forced to swaddle her up although she absolutely hates to be "tied" up.

She has since mastered the art of freeing herself.



*Help* All tied up. Can somebody PLEASE help me????



Alright, fine! All of you don't want to help me, I'll help myself. *Kick kick kick* Ahh... the cloth is now loose enough for my arms to move up.



Oh no! The other arm is still trapped. I must find a way to free it as well.



Yeah! Both arms free!!! Hippady-hippady hip hip hooray!!



Ahhhh.... Satisfaction!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!

It's Mommy's birthday today. Granny and I brought her out for some fun and relaxation.

First, we took the MRT to Chinatown because Mommy wants to eat dim sum.



*Yawn* I'm so tired. Is the train here??



Are we there yet?? How come so long??

After a long long train ride, we finally reached Chinatown and headed immediately to the Yum Cha Restaurant where Mommy and Granny can have their dim sum and I can have my EBM (aka expressed breast milk).



Hmm... so sleepy after my milk milk... Granny, can you please pat me to sleep?



That's the leftover from Mommy and Granny's lunch. I guess the food must be really delicious.



After lunch, Granny and Mommy took me to Fo Ya Si to baibai. The temple is very beautiful.

We then left Chinatown to meet Auntie Nora in Orchard for some dessert.



Once again, I got tired of waiting for Auntie Nora and fell asleep.



Still waiting...

Mommy notes: Tessa slept through our chit-chat session with Nora. After meeting Nora, we went to City Hall Sushi Tei to meet Pauline for dinner. Tessa got extremely grouchy and was wailing on top of her lungs outside Sushi Tei. Haiz...

从前马打穿短裤

这些衣服是Ah Zor买给我的。妈妈笑说那短裤的款式好像以前的警察穿的一样。你说呢？

Calamine Lotion

Recently, I've a bad case of heat rash. The rash spreads all over my neck, body and even face. Mommy and Granny put calamine lotion on me to soothe the itch and reduce the redness.

Mommy and Daddy will always break into this song:
Calamine, calamine, calamine lotion
Oh no more calamine lotion
Itchy itchy scratchy scratchy up and down my backy backy
Itchy itchy scratchy scratchy up and down my backside

Nowadays, we even went out with calamine lotion all over me. Needless to say, I invite alot of stares and giggles. Haiz... hope the heat rash will go away soon.

My Siao Mommy

Pardon me for my grouchy look, but I just want to introduce you to my Siao Mommy (siao as in small and also means crazy, kekeke). She is not my real Mommy, but she's also my Mommy. Just like Giam Giam Daddy is my Daddy, but not my real Daddy. Quite confusing I must say, but it's alright, they are very fun to be with.

Siao Mommy has showered me with many gifts and she loves to do the boogie-boogie with me. Although I'm not so sure if I appreciate her kind of dancing, but it sure is... erm... interesting. She has left to go back to USA. I look forward to seeing her next year when she returns home for Ah Zor's birthday celebration.

Woo... So Sweet!!!

Baby Pooh

Forgot to show all of you my Baby Pooh suit. It was given to me as a baby shower gift. It comprises of a romper, mittens, booties and a hat. Don't I look adorable in the full suit? But the hat is too warm, I don't like it.

Ah Zor absolutely loves my outfit!

马车夫之恋

达板城的石路硬又平啦
西瓜呀大又甜啦
哪里来的姑娘辫子长呀
两个眼睛真漂亮

要是你嫁人不要嫁给别人
一定要你嫁给我
带着百万钱财领着你的妹妹
赶着那马车来

这是外公从前最喜欢哼唱的歌。如今，它是妈妈每天哼唱哄着我的小宝贝、她的小外孙女入睡的歌曲。如果外公还在世的话，他一定会很疼爱小外曾孙的。可惜宝贝没有福气看到和认识慈祥的外曾祖父。

很想念你啊，阿公。

Princess T

My little princess surprises us day after day. She brightens up my day with a happy mood and lots of smiles each morning. She entertains us with her coos and cackles. She amazes me with new gestures and sounds.

It is so gratifying to know that she's learning new things and developing mentally, physically and emotionally each day.

She knows how to look up at the top of her hammock where I hang her musical mobile, signalling to us that she wants to hear music from her teddy friend. When we failed to realize so, she'll let out a cry to attract our attention. When the music ends, she'll once again look up at her teddy friend.

Today, we were trying out new clothes on her and each time we do so, she smiles so cheerfully at us as if she knows she's getting new outfits!

With Tessa, every day is a surprise as we can never know what's in for us and every day is also a blessing.

I Love Shopping

Mommy and Granny have been bringing me out ever since we had my new BMW (aka Combi stroller).

My BMW is very comfortable where I can sit or sleep comfortably on the go. More importantly, it allows us to get out of the house. Now I can roam around freely with Mommy and Granny. Daddy says I'm the shopping queen in the making.





Other than the nearby Compass Point which is our regular hunt now, Mommy has also brought me to Orchard Road and Vivocity. Many of the shopping malls are baby friendly where I can nurse happily whenever I want to. I love to look at the many uncles, aunties, jiejies and gorgors. I love to go up and down the escalators. I love to go in and out of the many different shops selling all kinds of stuff. I love when Mommy tries new clothes on me. I love the rides on the LRT and MRT.

To put it simply, I love shopping!!!

Friday the 13th - The Big Day and My Little White Dress

June 13 is Giam Giam Daddy's wedding. Mommy bought me a pretty white dress for the big day. Mind you, this outfit is for the night, I had a different new outfit for the day. I feel just like the bride. I look gorgeous, don't I?

Mommy notes: Tessa was so grouchy throughout the wedding dinner that Granny has to carry and rock her in the bride and groom's changing room to soothe her. She refuses to smile, entertain or be touched by people. A not-so-pretty mood despite the oh-so-pretty outfit.

这就是我等待冲凉的样子，像不像贵妃？我最喜欢冲凉了！

My Little Sack of Rice

Our little bundle of joy is now a weighty bundle. She now weighs 5.32kg.

Dr Chong says her weight gain is a little fast but still alright, within the 50th percentile.

But now we can hardly hold her down when she's cranky and kicking hard. Her mom and grandma will definitely develop muscles with all these weight training.

Magic

I've seen how our little one works magic on you.

Whenever you look at her, your eyes sparkle, your face glows, your lips curl naturally into a smile, your whole face softens with love, joy and happiness. The fatherly love you exude is so sincere and genuine that it melts my heart whenever I see it. In your own words, you are REALLY admiring God's creation, with so much pride and joy.

I've never seen you like this before. I certainly have not been able to perform that kind of magic on you. Maybe another girl did.

But I'm sure glad that our little one has that amazing effect on you. It pleases and touches me so much to see you behave this way.
