More pics of D

His contented face after a feed :)

我有小肉肉

This is what Ai Ai's Chinese teacher would say

I am breastfeeding D !

Ai Ai's Mickey Mouse - can you see it?

Kisses from jie jie everyday

My babies at about 2 months old

My Baby!

She says "D is my baby" and wants to use my breastfeeding pillow to breastfeed him :)

The reason is scary!

Sometimes Ai Ai uses words that I suspect she doesn't understand, but she speaks with such conviction that you would think she knew what she was talking about.

Me: Sophie, Mommy is sad.
Ai Ai: Why is Mommy sad?
Me: Mommy is sad, because for some reason, David is rejecting Mommy's milk.
Ai Ai: The reason is scary!
Then turning to her daddy, she asked "Did you see the reason, Daddy?"

Ahem, I think Daddy did not see the reason, but Mommy found out and it was really scary!
It's because I took some spicy food and caused some discomfort in D as he was not used to the taste... so the reason is indeed scary, as this means I cannot take spicy food for the next few months, at least!

Getting a little too big for his tub :)

Something to Share

A friend shared this with me online. I love it so much I've decided to post it up on my blog so I can share it with everyone else.

Please Mom and Dad...

My hands are small. I don't mean to spill my milk.
My legs are short. Please slow down so I can keep up.
Don't slap my hands when I touch something bright and pretty. I don't understand.
Please look at me when I talk to you. It lets me know you are really listening.
My feelings are tender - don't nag at me all day. Let me make mistakes without feeling stupid.
Don't expect the bed I make or the picture I draw to be perfect. Just love me for trying.
Remember, I am a child, not a small adult. Sometimes I don't understand what you're saying.
I love you so much. Please love me just for being myself, not just for the things I do.

Ai Ai's First Haircut at the Hairdresser's

We decided to bring Ai Ai for a haircut as she refuses to dry her hair in the evenings after her bath.
She wasn't upset about it - in fcat, she was really excited about her first trip to the hairdresser.

Getting ready for the snip

The first snip

Her hair in a ziplock bag I brought along

Looking worried that the hairdresser will snip her ears off?

A very happy Ai Ai

Gourmet Confinement Food!

I can't begin to say how much I am enjoying my confinement... how am I going to cope when my confinement nanny leaves at the end of the month?

Here are some of her yummylicious cooking:

Mee Sua for breakfast

Homemade char siew

Fried drumlets

Fried fish with soy sauce

Turmeric Chicken

Steamed Codfish

Pork Ribs (pai kuat wong)

I love my 弟弟

Ai Ai is always saying "I want to carry D!"
Guess the pink skate scooter did its job well.

P/S. David's all clear!

Did I forget to say that David's heart is perfectly OK now?
The Cardiac Paediatrician could not hear any signs of murmur, and just to play safe, did a scan on him before we were discharged today... no signs of the prenatal VSD at all! :)
Thank God for this!

Presenting D to Ai Ai

Presenting our Mighty Smart Baby

Dear David,

You've been a really good and smart baby.

Earlier during the pregnancy, I've asked you to stay in Mommy's womb safely till full-term so you can put on some weight, since the doctors at NUH mentioned you are a wee bit small-sized, something which Dr. Lim didn't place too much emphasis on, as he believed it's just constitutional.

You've listened to Mommy well and been staying in there till past your EDD of 2 Oct.

And since Mommy decided to try for a natural VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section) with you, I've been asking you to come out during the weekend when Daddy is around, so mommy doesn't have to rush and put jie jie with some neighbour before rushing to the hospital.

You've listened well again and decided to come out today, on a Sunday morning.

As you were still not engaged even when I checked into the hospital, I asked you to start moving down Mommy's birth canal so that labour may be smooth and fast.

Again, you've listened well. After reading the papers and chatting with Daddy for about 3 hours, 2nd stage dilation was really quick for about an hour before you popped out at 1:26pm.

Maybe that's why Auntie Cindy calls you a "Mighty Smart Baby" :)

Enjoying her music class

This is Ai Ai playing the violin today with Ms. Chua's help :)

She's looking all serious!

May I get married?

This was what Ai Ai told me after we finished reading Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Ai Ai: May I get married?
Me: Who do you want to marry?
Ai Ai: Ansel kor kor.
Me: Where do you want to get married?
Ai Ai: Thomson Plaza.
Me: What would you hold in your hand? (pointing to the bouquet in Snow White's hand)
Ai Ai: Ice cream! Strawberry one.

If only life is this sweet and uncomplicated :)

Playing the violin

This is Ai Ai on her last day of music class this term.
She's been asking to play the violin, and her wish was granted today.
Teachers Ms Chua and Ms Low brought a baby violin to class and let the kids try it one at a time.
They also sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars to the teachers playing the piano and violin.

We're looking forward the new term next week! :)

She's got a mind of her own

I pee-peed in my potty. Daddy don't bother me!

This was what she said after she has peed in her potty by herself.
Cos R was always bugging her to pee in her potty - almost every half hour to one hour, but I believe she can hold her pee for up to 3 hours now.

R says she sounds just like Uncle Ian who wouldn't let Mum check his homework in Primary School :P
