This year's Xmas is a special one for us, our 1st Xmas wif Baobei =)She may not be able to vocalise her feelings and thoughts, but can see from her reaction of squeals and laughter at the Xmas lightings and trees that she likes the decorations alot... she particularly likes the Xmas trees with flashing lights =) She will try to reach out for the lights and will squeal with delight when we bring her away from them... haha!She has also started to open up to other people, unlike previously when she will cringe her face and cry when people approach her... now, she will stare hard at the people and need time to warm up to them... but still, she won't let other people carry her, can play with her but no carrying... still shy in that sense...Brought her to my year-end gathering in office on Xmas Eve... everything well pretty well, my colligs helped me out alot, esp when me nid to take toilet breaks... could hear her cries from within the toilet when Ting carried her... oops... Cheong Ling and Ting also took food for me while me carried Baobei (she dozed off in my arms)... Dearie had his frenz over on 27 Dec, n gave a pretty touching speech... the dinner we prepared was dessert-heavy, like hei ice-cream from Awfully Chocolate, 4 other tubs of Haagen Daz n Ben & Jerry's ice-cream and 1 banana-chocolate cake from Secret Recipe. Dinner was 4 medium pizzas from Canadian Pizza.... hope his frenz had enuff to eat... our nest became super havoc, cos his frenz played Guitar Hero and Winning Eleven on the PS3... they had so much fun playing as a team!We also brought Baobei for a swim yesterday @ Caribbean... she had so much fun! She naturally kicked her legs and moved her arms when we put her in the water... remembered the 1st time Dearie tried to let her play in the water abt 2 weeks ago, she was not so receptive and actually cried... but yesterday, she welcomed the water! haha! put her in the float and she just leaned back and relaxed... so cute... yesterday was also my 1st time putting on swimwear after delivery... flabby flabby...
Was a happy ger ydae =) Dearie gave me very pleasant surprise yesterday... he got me a touchscreen phone - LG KP500 =)He knew I have been looking around for a touchscreen phone which can replace my pda n current phone... so that I dont need to carry pda n phone around... was greatly interested in the iPhone but it doesnt allow calendar search =( if i want to find out when a meeting takes place, the iPhone doesnt allow... not even 3rd party applications... moreover, only Singtel carries the iPhone and I am a M1 customer, dont see the need to switch service providers too... =PSo was very happy whn Dearie found the LG KP500, which me find slim n suits my needs... Thanks Dearie! =) U oso spent the whole of last nite setting up the phone - calendar, contacts etc for me, so that I can use it today...
Baobei is 6 months old today! =) How time flies...
She is very playful... likes to play even when she's drinking milk... we have to resort to feeding her in quiet places and nobody should go near her, else she will refuse to drink her milk and wanna play instead... we often have to distract her with her favourite toys too...
She has also grown to recognise her surroundings... in unfamiliar places or with unfamiliar faces, she will look around and explore the new place interestedly... for unfamiliar faces, her reaction is instantaneous, with her screwing her face and crying especially at men who get too near her... Dearie said good too, at least she wouldnt b kidnapped... b4 the kidnapper can get near her, he/she will be scared off by her cries... haha!
She now weighs 7.1kg and measures 71cm long... Dr Ng said her weight is in the norm/average range and her height belongs to the higher range... Baobei has developed some rough patches of skin on her thighs and arms... Dr Ng said it's slight eczema... hope will clear up as she gets older... *cross fingers*
Have decided to continue BF Baobei... initially had planned to stop at the 6th month mark, but decided otherwise... we let her try infant cereal during the weekend... set up camera, placed her bib around her neck and fed her small mouthfuls... she still doesnt know how to swallow, cos with each mouthful Dearie gave her, she would spit it out... hmm... wonder when she'll learn to swallow properly?!?! she's very excited and leans forward for each mouthful, but just couldn't swallow and would spit it out... hmmm...
