My Weekly Pictures Journal

Halo, been quite a while since Daddy blog on my behalf...because daddy is away from home...so he got Mummy to take daily pictures of me and emailed to Daddy...so check out my daily routine...sit back and check out my pics below...btw...cool grinning pose above? haha...this is my first week along with mummy only...as PoPo is back looking after my cousins...while Daddy is travelling overseas for work...



Here's a pic of me getting ready for daily bath...except this time Mummy is the only one doing it for me...hehe...wondering how she manages to take this pic while holding me? haha..check with my great mummy...



My first nude pic! aiyoh...that daddy hor...anyway...luckily my "assests" not too obvious yet...will scold daddy when i can speak properly...here, mummy is getting ready to apply the rashes cream for me...to prevent nappy rash...=)

after the cream is done..it's diaper time...i have been changing diapers about 6-8 times..that works out to be a daily cost of about $1.40...according to daddy...hehe

Check out my side profile...mummy has been trying to get my nose shit every now and then..as she notices that I breathe heavily when the nose is blocked...even though Doc mentions that it is ok..she wants me to feel good (i.e. so i will be less cranky)!

After bath time (or feeds), its ZZZZ time...haha...of cos I give Mummy a hint....by show her my big yawn....hehe

Very soon, I fall into deep sleep...which is why mummy can take this pic...hehe...finally mummy can get some free time for household chores...tough on mummy this week as she has to handle everything alone...

I look good while napping? I am becoming very naughty and active now while sleeping...showing signs of tossing ard....worrying for D&M...but I enjoy sleeping with D&M...hope daddy be back soon so I can sleep with both of them...=)

Another busy weekend - 31 Aug 08

Yesterday D&M held a celebration at home for relatives for my full month...D&M were informed that they would have to do so earlier and thus it was not held on the 6th Aug weekend...that will be for friends & colleagues...

Lots of people came...from my dad relatives to my mum's....very crowded and I see and hear lots of different voices...some said I looked like Daddy...some said I looked like Mummy...hehe..but I think I look like ELLA! My cute little cousins (or rather uncles & aunties) were very nice and fun to play with...they all came over to sayang me...=)

Anyway...collect some Ang Paos...will be useful for my future education funds...so a great Thank You to all aunties and uncles who dropped by...despite getting lost finding my sweet dwelling...Daddy commented to me at night that I'm a good girl...giving him little trouble during the visit...hehe...so he patted me to sleep...

Today is a interesting day for me as I will be paying my great-grandma a visit...she's about 95 years old...so I gotta visit her...and prior to that...grandma wants to bring me to the temple as it is the 1st day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar...Daddy is worried about the crowd and smoke from the incense....so he carried me to wait at a corner of the temple...where many aunties say I'm cute...hehe...

Finally met up with my great-grandma and god-ma of my Mummy...she is happy to see me having just recover from a bout of illness...and I am also happy to meet her...hope I grow up soon and get to talk to her...

We came back home late in the afternoon where D&M tried to get me to catch some nap...and sly Daddy once again caught me striking a post with sleepy mummy when he woke up to clear some work...hehe...I beginning to really enjoy sleeping with D&M on their bed...Daddy commented that I should try to sleep more on my baby cot...but I like the security and smell of D&M...hehe...

anyway...Daddy will be away overseas for the next 4 days...so I better seize the chance to nap with him...

Jaundice Scare - 11-14 Aug 08

These few days have been quite a strain for D&M as I am certified to be "jaundice" positive...according to Dr Ngiam whom we saw on Tue, any score above 16 will be deem to be a jaundice +ve....and I hit the score of 18.3 on Tuesday when I went in for my first visit to Dr Ngiam...a higher score which doesn't spell good news...D&M expected it....cos I was still quite yellowish then despite D&M efforts to bask me in the morning sun since Monday....anyway, as I'm a borderline case...and as explained by Doc that Jaundice could also arise because of breast-feeding...he decided to allow me to go home (much to the relief of D&M esp Mummy as she was sobbing away at the hospital canteen when the clinic called to notify us of the test results at the lab...ppl were wondering if Daddy bully her...haha) but I've to be taken off BM and be fed a special formula milk (which Daddy realised for the first time in his life that such a small container of milk bottle can cost so much!)....anyway, D&M were glad that I made it home on Tue and will have to get back to Doc again on Wed (after 24hrs off BM) to determine if the level of jaundice went down after this measure...

So Daddy took the effort to wake up every morning to "suntan" me...hehe...check out my topless pic below...which sly Daddy took on Wed...hehe...dun worry, daddy is nice enough to make sure my pretty face stay fair with the towel and curtain by the bay windows in D&M's bedroom...

Wed came...and I manage to pass the test with slight decline in the level...however, Doc wanted me back on Friday to confirm that my level is indeed dipping...so let's keep our fingers crossed...anyway, I'm feeling good with the good sleep I'm getting from sleeping with D&M as well as the regular feeding cycles that D&M adheres to strictly..hehe..esp Daddy who wakes up faithfully at night to feed me..that's why I always finished his feed...hehe..almost...hehe...

A Peaceful Sunday- 10 Aug 08

I woke D&M up early today...about 5plus...cos I wanted my feed and decided for a change of diapers too...Daddy decided to go for a jog...and he promised to bring me when I'm older...that's great! So i laze ard in bed with Mummy and sly Daddy took some pics of us when he was back from his jog! See, I'm striking similar post as my mummy...she is still very tired from the feeding and the deliveryplus the fact that I am so active at night...so she is trying to catch as much rest as possible...hehe...

Sunday is rest day for my family...as everyone is exhausted from the many disturbed nights since I arrived back home..hehe..including myself so I slept through most of the day...D&M were getting worried about the yellowish of my appearance...so they try to sun me for a while...including PoPo...nighttime was spent with D&M who were busying doing up documentation for the registration of my birth & some grants...hehe...heard from Daddy that this year, our PM has yet to announce any goodies leh....=(

But D&M were still glad to have me ard...I can feel that!=)

Visiting Day- 9 Aug 08

Today is National Day...and most of my visitors(i.e. Uncle Herng & Family, Uncle Wee Loon& Family) came dressed in Red & White...i saw my grand-aunt & grand-godma today too...Daddy said that some day soon then he be bringing me to see great grandma too...also Lew Hui Jie Jie is being charged for posing with me...daddy needs the money for my educational funds...=)

All the while when the visitors are here in the day, I pretend to be a good girl sleeping and din cry much for the day...but when nightfall, the naughty me started to haunt D&M again..hehe...but I think I'm slowly adjusting...and somehow, i get frightened whenever the lights in the room are off, so Daddy went to get some smooth orange lights for the roomyesterday...and I love sleeping with D&M...hehe...despite them almost crushing into me on many occasions...=)

Fortune Telling Day - 8 Aug 08

D&M had a unsettled night as I started getting adjusted to my first night back at home....they are almost up every other hour as I fussed ard with feeding and shitting...haha...you should have checked out their PANDA eyes...think daddy looks like Kungfu Panda in the morning because of his size...haha...

Today, Daddy & Grandma made a trip down to a fortune teller at Bedok to get some ideas for my chinese name. This renowed fortune teller was very fast in his explaination of my so-called stats according to the chinese lunar calendar...according to him, I'm borned at a very auspicious hour (2233) and is of the Fire element (therefore scare of the soil element). He even mentioned that colours best for me are Black, Blue, White, Grey, Green and avoid Yellow, Brown, Orange! Daddy is worried cos he has chosen a bright orange and yellow for my room...haha...we see how it goes later...a good excuse to get my room redecorated in future! haha..manage to get some suggestions for chinese names...and the next few days, i think D&M will finalise my chinese name. Also manage to calculate my english name...ELLA...which is not so good....so D&M is reconsidering to rename this...let's hope all these will be settled by next Tuesday when I need to get back to hospital for a follow-up check up with Dr Ngaim...=)

Today also happens to be the opening of Beijing Olympics as today is a great day (080808)...what a great day!

Home Sweet Home! - 7 Aug 08

I'm going home! Today, Dr Foong & Dr Yip gave both mummy and me the clearance for us to get discharged. Mummy quickly informed daddy who came by with grandma to assist. Lots of last minute documentation to settle and of course the bills...Daddy is shocked by the amount...and hope that they made a mistake..haha...

Soon, i got home (although at a very slow speed as Daddy is worried to drive fast) and I started getting curious and began my exploration of the surroundings...took me a while to get adjusted...=)

In the evening, Daddy brought over PoPo & GongGong to stay with us as PoPo is assisting D&M with the confinement of mummy. hehe...cool, two more persons to play ard with...I'm sure I will be keeping them busy with my persistent demands!
