Smoothie

I hadn't been eating much this month. And I'm seriously talking about NOT EATING, at times too! Hmmm...no one knew why. Nai Nai, Papa and Mama were worried sick. Needed lots and lots of patience to feed me during meal times and 'creatively' to make sure I didn't spit food out of my mouth.

I don't know why but whenever food came near me, or into my mouth, I would spit them out immediately. So I lost weight. Imagine an underweight girl, losing more weight, that sent my above mentioned people into a state of frantic.

Sigh, probably I was teething badly?? I had 3 new teeth growing out during those weeks. Heheheh..not finding excuses for myself though, though I'm a natural at food picking, just like Mama by the way! So can't blame me lah!

But one food, or rather drink item I grew to LOVE--SMOOTHIE!!! Papa was so desperate one day, he didn't know what to do with my totally empty stomach, he gave me a banana and strawberry smoothie that was meant for Mama and him actually.

And to their their relief, at least I liked it! I was drinking like a thirsty camel! Papa had to stop me.

But this week, I was eating ok. Not the great big appetite, but at least, I don't resist ALL food anymore. I also started to take interest in adults' food and they would gladly let me try.

So far, I don't mind pasta, cheese, yogurt, cheese dip (with biscuit)and butter bread. Big improvement already. The adults hope my weight will pick up. But as long as I'm happy and healthy, I don't care! Give me more SMOOTHIE!

Sexy baby

Uncle Edwin and Aunty Su bought this bikini for me when I was 1 month old; was meant for 1 year old, I think. Finally I can fit into it though the bottom kinda large. So Mama gotta sew it. I was happily 'showing off' my new sexy outfit to Mama and Papa. So Mama called me a "Sexy baby!" Can't wait to fluant my skinny bones at the pool.

Limbo Rock

I learnt yet another new tricks from Barney and friends! Limbo rock! They had a bar and some children with BJ and Baby Bop would dance to the music as they tried to bend their body backwards under it. And so I imitated. Now whenever you say, "Limbo Rock!" I will show you what I can do! Not easy, ok? You need lotsa good balance and strong muscles! Let's dance!

Mama took this picture when we had lunch some Sundays ago with their Herald's friends. Uncle Eric said I looked like someone from The Matrix!

"Pah Pah"--Scared scared

I've learnt a new word, "Pah Pah"--Scared scared, about 2 weeks ago. Whenever I'm afraid, I'll pat my chest and say, "Pah Pah". One day, the usual active me kept climbing up Papa's sofa and either stood on it or ran from one corner to another that Papa came to warn me a few times not to do that. I would, of course, ignore him; simply love the reaction I got from him though.

And after doing it for many times, I think Papa decided that I needed something more drastic. So he spanked my buttocks each time I repeated my "mission". After a few rounds, I relented and walked away.

Few minutes later, Papa was sitting at the dining table reading his papers, and I wanted to go and take some toys from the box near him. But when I saw him, I moved back and said with hands patting on my chest, "Pah Pah..." Looking at him as I walked back slowly towards Mama.

Phew! He didn't notice me. (But later Papa went to tell Mama I was afraid of him!) Can't help it, but I seem to have this uncanny respect for males. Hmmm...Mama thinks I'm in a making of a submissive woman soon and she doesn't seem too excited about it though God says it's a virtue!

Flower girl try outs

I went to Kow Fu's bridal boutique last week. Poh Poh, Gong Gong, Kow Mo's parents and her bridesmaids were there too!

Kow Mo wanted to take photos with me. But I just kept imitating her! I played with Aunty Hazel, Aunty Mabel and Grandaunt Sarah too. Mama wanted to get me a flower girl dress from the boutique but I was too small for their smallest size dress to be altered! Well, it's time boutiques should cater dresses for petite girls like me :(

I also played with Kow Mo's dress!

But I had fun parading in the dresses for all to see!

A picture perfect with all the gorgeous ladies!

My hideout

Papa and Mama bought this igloo looking tent for me from Ikea! Now, this is my new hideout!

I will go in to pat my soft cuddling toys, doodle, stick stickers on it and watch Tv from inside!

Who says you need to get married to move out! Hahhahaaa....

Swinging good times

One of my favourite activities with Yeye is going to the Bishan Park! Yeye would let me sit in a swing I'll be having a swinging good time all the way man! Yeye said it took him a few tries before I wasn't afraid. Now, whenever I see a playground, I'll scream excitedly! Three cheers for the one who invented swings!

New mission, always possible

I was drinking water happily when a spectacular idea struck me! You know, the kind that has a light bulb above your head when you suddenly have a creative or an idea that belongs only to genius?!??! Yup, it struck me that I hadn't try exploring UNDER the dining table at Papa's house yet. So that great amazing day, as I was drinking (no wonder Mama always says, "Water's good for you..." Now I know why!) I just went under it.

Papa tried to arrest me. But I was too strong for him! Papa, you need to pump up your muscles!

So he relented and I was left to yet accomplish my great new mission! Yeah!

Artist at work

Papa and Mama bought me this aqua doodle. Just need water in the marker and I can doodle my time away! When I'm done, it'll dry by itself and I can start all over again! Incredible! Mama thinks the inventor is genius. No mess, non toxic and fun for my age.

My first masterpiece!

I grabbed the marker the moment Papa showed me how to draw. I didn't even wait for him to finish. Noticed I use more of my right hand? Mama says will wait a few more years to determine which hander am I.

I'm very multi-task. I can hold a picture card and doodle at the same time. And mind you, I will notice it if you try to grab the card away from me, ya?! So don't mess around with me!

Mama's birthday--splashing good time!

Went for a swim at Safra Club, Mt Faber with Papa and Mama to celebrate my lovely Mama's birthday. They were praying hard that it would not be a wasted trip because the 1st time I went, they spent only 5 mins in the water and had to get up and change. I was crying badly then.The crowd, cold water and noise were affecting me.

This time, they were glad I could play in the water for about 40 mins! I had a splashing good time. I made a new friend in the pool. She was only 1 month younger than me. I was fine playing on my own, but she kept coming to take my favourite watering can. her parents had a hard time distracting her away.

Mama wanted me to share. But that was my security toy at the moment. So must respect my privacy, right?! If not, at normal times, I would share.

I was also fascinated by the mini water fountain. Loitered around it to watch other kids played. Then after a while, with Papa by my side, I was able to go near it and had a great time trying to catch the water! Strange, I don't seem to be able to catch it all the time! I learnt something....water is not solid!

Water play is so much fun. I learn many new things and concepts (though I may not consciously know now), and gained a different arena of experience. What a great time I had!

Mama was happy as long as she knew I enjoyed my day and we all had a great family time. I was co-operative too. I slept after my dinner and my dear parents could enjoy their dinner at Swensen's, Vivo City in peace and love.....mmmmm....

Happy Birthday, Mama! I love you!
