I am a big girl now!

See, I can hold my own milk bottle now.

So Mommy and Mahmah, stop calling me lazy, OK?

Constipated!

Ouch!!

I had very bad constipation. It's so painful when I poo that I cried every time. Mommy took me to the doctor again. This time round, it's yet another doctor - Dr Chin. He's very nice. He told Mommy and Mahmah that it's probably due to my new follow-on formula. The iron-fortified formula is very heaty. Doctor told Mommy and Mahmah to dilute my milk further and also to stop feeding me cereals for a while.

He has these 2 korkor and jiejie in his room. Mommy said they are undergraduates from NUS who were learning from Dr Chin. Everything in Dr Chin's room is very fascinating. Maybe I should grow up and become a doctor myself.

Dr Chin tried to dig the poopoo out for me, but was unable to do so because the naughty poopoo were quite far inside. He told Mommy to feed me some medicine to soften the poopoo.

After seeing the doctor, Mommy had to go to work and left me with Mahmah and Gonggong. Back home, Mahmah pumped some liquid into my butt. She said it'll help the poopoo to come out more easily. But it didn't help much. In the end, Mahmah had to use her fingers to dig the poopoo out. 3 big pieces!!!

My butt was so painful. It bleed.

Mommy said this episode should teach me a lesson and I should be good and learn to drink more water. But I don't like plain water!!!

Daddy & His Girl

Stylo Milo

Realised it's been quite a while since I last posted pictures of the little one.

That's her in her 80-euro Diesel denim skirt.

Our model stylo or not?

Happy Birthday!

Hehe.. it wasn't my birthday. It's Auntie Zhiyi's birthday. But Daddy makes me pose in front of the cake anyway. Auntie Zhiyi's cake is very special right?

Wonder what kind of cake I'll get on my birthday.

First-Time Fallen Sick

First it was Mama, then the nasty virus spread to me.

Last Sunday, I had fever. On Monday, Mommy, Mah-mah and Gong-gong brought me to the doctor. Somehow the adults didn't trust the doctor and decided to bring me to Dr Chong again on Tuesday. By the time we were at Dr Chong, my fever subsided.

But yesterday, I started to have runny nose. Today, I was at Dr Chong again.

Poor me. I hate being sick. I hate taking medicine. Woohoohoo...

6 months old!

I am 6 months old and I now weigh 7.8kg. This is me on the play swing at Auntie Yixin's house during Auntie Nora's baby shower party.

Just Simply Great!

Daddy and Mommy brought me to East Coast that day. It's so cool! The weather's great, the scenery's great, the company's great! I get to sit on Daddy's shoulder! And I look great in that hot pink shorts, right?

My New Polka-dot Leg Warmer

Recently I developed a little runny nose, so Mommy resorted to making me wear leg warmers. They keep me warm and also allow Mommy to change my diapers easily. I hated them initially, but they felt alright after a while. Actually, I look kinda funky in them. Don't you think?

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. =)

Hard @ Work

Me and My Exersaucer!

Weeeeiii!!!! So fun!

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.
