Ariel's first taste of cough mixture

Lil Ariel is still coughing. she was coughing so badly last night that I felt so "xin tong". she did not cry, but was coughing real badly. felt so helpless, just hope that daytime can come faster so that I can bring her to see the doctor.

Dr Chan gave her some cough mixture. I thought she'll complain when I give them to her. but to my surprise, she did not *finger crossed*. Dr Chan there's a virus going around, and nothing to worry. when I told Daddy Sam, he's first respond was "does the medicine make her drowsy?" haha... I had the same thought too. BAD BAD parents.

Auntie Elmo suggest shaving her hair. a bit "she bu de". let me think abt it. hoho

anyway, went to Coca to have steam boat treat from Uncle Peter on Sunday after mass. Yummy!! took a family photo there. my face getting rounder and rounder. haiz..

Daddy Sam bought Lil Ariel a bumbo seat. I wanted to buy for her and was waiting for bulk purchase from the Singaporemotherhood forum. In the end Daddy bought for her from Robinson's when he was shopping for some singlets. He's becoming more and more like uncle. :P

More Pictures!!

this romper is from Auntie Kris. do I look like a BOSS now??

is my butt sexy??

I pray that Mummy and Daddy will LOVE me forever...

Mummy didn't pose this herself. I did it MYSELF!!

Piglet, Daddy is going to feed me, don't fight with me oh!!

I caught a little cold

I got a slight cold. so is Daddy.

Mummy heard me coughing the whole tuesday night. in the morning, she saw mucus flowing out my little nostril. she felt so bad cuz she knew I caught a cold cuz she forgotten to bring my jacket when we went out on sunday. she almost wanted to bring me to see Dr Chan. but I was still active and look happy, she decided to monitor my temperature first. so she keep stucking this thermometer at my ear to check if I'm having fever every now and then. I don't like that thermometer, make me so uncomfortable.

when Daddy came back last night, he was having cold too. he was sneezing and coughing away. so he could not play with me. I miss telling Daddy what I did the whole day. I miss Daddy carrying me and coaxing me to sleep. hope Daddy and I can recover soon, so Mummy will have less thing to worry.

updates?!!

Little Ariel is 3 months old now. hmm.. what has she achieved so far.
1. grab things, especially Mummy's hair
2. say ah, aye, ooh and talk non-stop for 3 min
3. smile at people and a BIG wide smile for Mummy and Daddy
4. able to support her head
5. know how to be self-entertained

sunday night she slept for 9 straight hours till monday morning. why? cuz Daddy and Mummy brought her out almost the whole day. there were too many things to see and listen that she refused to take her regular naps even though she's sleepy. then when she's back home, Daddy refused to let her sleep cuz he's afraid that Little Ariel refused to sleep at night and Mummy will start whinning. so finally let her sleep at 9.30pm after her feed, she slept all the way. her mummy's longest sleep at night ever since she born. hoho..

oh yah, I was asking Daddy Sam will Little Ariel hate me for putting her nude photos up. he said of cuz, then Little Ariel will prefers Daddy. duhz..

Pictures!!

happy Sunday

I think Mummy's mood is better le. probably it's weekend and I'm able to drink in the morning. see if Mummy's mood can maintain. Daddy and Mummy got quite worried when they found a few pimple-like bumps on my right leg yesterday. silly Mummy thought is HFM disease until Grandma Maria explained to her what is HFM disease.

finally today Mummy and Daddy brought me to church again. Daddy blamed Mummy for being unable to wake up on time. then Mummy blame me. hmpf. but it's actually Daddy cannot wake up. after church, we went to Harbourfront with Uncle Jeffery and family. then I pooed and dirtied Auntie Sabina's pant when she carried me. Germaine Jey Jey has grown bigger and prettier le.

kiasu Daddy and Mummy bought 2 other brands of formula milk for me. they're going to try on all the brands until I'm happy with any of them. hopefully they won't spend too much on that. hohoho

Chat box available

got a new chat feature on my blog!! hee.. idea taken from Auntie Ah Yen's blog. :P

thank you friends for the encouragement. guess I have to learn to relax a bit.

saw this in babycenter.com, quoted from one of the mummies:

"My son likes to be carried around all the time. Whenever I get tired of holding him, I try to remember that a year from now he's going to be squirming to get out of my arms — and I'm going to miss these days!" — Kelly

it's really very true. :P

Mummy, don't give up

Mummy has been moody these few days. I think she's really worried that I'm not thriving. these few days, I heard Mummy telling herself every morning not to be angry at me, not to scold me. so I test her patience, I refused to drink milk even though my last feed was 5 hours ago. at first she tried to coax me, I can see that she's trying very hard to beg me to drink, so I continued testing her. in the end she still failed and ended up scolding me again. I can see her eyes turning red, I think she's really worried about me. Mummy, I'm really full, that's why I don't want to drink, but don't give up on me okay? I promise my appetite will be better in the next few days. other babies also like that, it's just a passing phase.

Mummy has been teaching me to flip also. she learnt it from Dr Chan. she played a new game with me just now. she pulled my hands so that I can sit straight. she was very happy that I can support my head. I was very happy cuz I get a different view. but she quickly make me lie down again cuz she scared my neck is not strong enough. finally I made her smile again!!

*yawn* I'm tired. back to my cot to sleep.

Ariel's underweight!! though Dr Chan tried to put it in a nicer way. she said her weight is less than average, but told us not to worry. she is 1kg lesser than the average, how can I not worry. but her Daddy says no need to worry, cuz the both of us had been underweight for the whole of our adolescent life. however we still decided to put her on formula at night before she goes to lala land. but the silly girl is not used to formula, she keep on crying and crying. in the end latch her on, then she happy. lousy Mummy's breastmilk not helping Ariel to put on more weight. :(

learning how to turn

today while I was changing Ariel's diaper, I realise she is trying to turn to one side. actually this is the 2nd time. I saw her doing that yesterday, but I was not sure. her lower parts of the body with both her legs were twisting to right side. I can see that her upper body were trying to turn to the same side too, but I guess her upper body is heavier. :P

last night little Ariel refused to sleep till 12am. I know I know, some of you will say, "WHAT? 12am only still complain?" those who know me well enough, 12am is considered late for me. little Ariel usually will go to sleep after her 9pm or 10pm feed. however, she was still wide awake after her feed. no choice, I used to most lousy method to coax her to sleep, i.e. let her suckle on my breast to sleep. well, it seemed successful until I tried to place her in her cot. she woke up the moment her body touched the mattress. arghh.. I did not take any afternoon nap yesterday. I was really sleepy and I was having migraine too. no choice, I got to carry her and coax her. I tried to let her suckle again, but she refused until 12 am. I read somewhere, once or twice a month, babies will get cranky and refuse to go to sleep. but Ariel, next time when you do that, can you choose a better day, like days when I get to take my nap during the day? :P

nowadays little Ariel likes to say "Aye Yee". if you do not listen carefully, you may think that she's saying "Daddy". Daddy was really happy lor.
