Neck trainings

---------------------------

Recently Xuan likes blu-tac a lot and always asks for it (“我要blu-tac!") so much so that she bid it goodnight "Blu-tac 晚安！" -_-"

Last night I took her to the stadium to run around, then she got tired and lazy, and requested me to carry her. As we were strolling back home, I told her, “萱萱长大了，妈妈就不可以抱你了” Hearing this, she hugged me even tighter, while resting her head on my shoulder, and said, "可以！" Awwwww...

Looking at Colin growing fatter (yes, fatter!) and more alert everyday, I cannot believe Xuan was that "immobile" before. She's almost 2yrs old soon, how time flies! I'm glad I'm spending that much time with them everyday now because it'll feel like a minute before they're all grown up and wouldn't even want to hold my hand anymore, esp my little boy.

Babies' KL trip

The entire So "clan" went to KL for a 2 night stay at the Trader's Hotel. There's a huge playground area next to the hotel so Little Melody gets to try the swing and roam in and out of the maze.

Mummy and daughter and the Petronas Towers

Mama and Papa So didn't exactly get any shopping done with Xuan whining to be carried most of the time, didn't exactly sleep well with 2 babies in the same room, didn't exactly eat well with xuan refusing to eat most things. When we did shop we were looking for cereal, corn in a cup (for xuan to eat), diapers...Little Colin is either sleeping or drinking milk in Mama So's sarong. On the way back to Singapore Xuan even vomited all over grandma. Overall it was a very tiring trip, but a good experience for everyone. Xuan had fun running around with her cousin Keagan all the time :)

After KL we travelled to Seramban to hold Uncle E's wedding dinner. Throughout the whole dinner, Mama So and Aunt Z were busy nursing or comforting Baby Colin and Baby Kaelyn. Xuan displayed her musical talents (when she sings she's quite in tune) by making up her own song: "Dowan dowan dowan fish, dowan dowan dowan fish..." (sung to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") Aunt YR learnt a valuable lesson and decided to enjoy her honeymoon year ahead instead of having babies early, haha :D

At the end of the day, the trip was worth it cos we got a nice family photo:

Chern will learn how to smile in time :)

Wantoks Jersey

I played for touch rugby team Wantoks til I got pregnant with Melody. My teammates got her a set of jersey that she finally can fit into :)

Fist eater

Babies suckle for comfort, it gives them a sense of security.

Colin (7weeks)



Melody (3 months)



Chern is starting to coo and smile at me when I smile at him. When I brought him out to go gown fitting with a friend yesterday, everyone said he's got a boy-boy/beach boy look cos he's so tanned! He looks absolutely adorable in this little doggie pose when he was sleeping and flipping about this morning :)

Wedding!

Mama So bought a dress for Melody that matches my own for the wedding! :D:D

Poor Melody was playing hide and seek during the solemnization and her baby chair fell on her, leading her to screeeeeeaaamm and Papa Mama So quickly took her out to sayang her little head. Little boy stayed at home with grandma cos the dinner will end late. Little little girl had a good time and fell asleep at the second last dish :)

Sentosa!

A friend held her wedding at Rasa Sentosa (Congrats LT! It's one of the most entertaining weddings I've been to ;) ) so we thought it was a good chance to bring her to the beach. Little Melody's first experience to the beach was a happy one. She scooped sand with this sea shell container and walked on the beach a little. I brought her to where the waves are lapping but she didn't dare to step there so I carried her and walked along the shore. Thats all we planned to do for this trip cos we really just want to show her the sea and try walking on sand.

During the wedding dinner she was in a good mood. Probably because she had a good nap before leaving the house and everything's new and exciting to her. She took my hand and walked around the big "maze" (the ballroom with all the tables) several times. Then as we ate she played with her utensils and with my friends, who successfully got our baby to respond to them after about 2hours? ;P We find that she's a little apprehensive about trying out unfamiliar things and interacting with people she doesn't recognise. Even with her own uncles and aunties, she doesn't really warm up to them. Which means she won't be running off anywhere with strangers! This dinner is a good warm up to her Uncle Eddie's wedding this coming sat. At least now we know what we can expect from her :)

Speaking in short sentences

It started with “妈妈坐”then “妈妈坐这里”; “跌倒”then“小熊跌倒了”；“吃葡萄干”then “萱萱吃葡萄干”or “我要我要葡萄干！”；and she said “弟弟 as-kiss me (excuse me)" when she wanted to sit in the baby chair which Colin was lying in this morning. Her sentences are getting longer and more sophisticated. Though sometimes she says "我不要妈妈"and it breaks my heart, but other times she can be quite sweet too :)

I'm a big girl and I can feed myself (and my mama)

Gaining independence :)

She's been whining a LOT lately, and sometimes it turns into a tantrum, when she loses control of herself, and makes all our patience index "level-up". Papa So claims that she stomps her feet like the way I do... -_-" I guess some things are just in the genes :P So days like this now when she's all delightful and happy, it makes us happy too :)
