Of Odds and Ends

Hi folks! Wondering what I've been doing?

Well, unfortunately our modem at home has crashed, so Mummy has not been able to update my blog for me at home for the past 2 weeks. Secondly, Mummy has also been tied up at work, so she's got no time to upload photos at work either.

In the meantime, I've been busy terrorizing everyone by crawling (yes, I can finally crawl forward!) and this week I've started first coming to a sitting position from a lying down position, then pulling myself up with the help of my bed rail, the cupboard... er, basically everything and anything I can get my hands on.

This week I've also been torturing Mummy by waking up in the middle of the night to climb all over her. She says I'm testing her patience because when I do that (i) it hurts; and (ii) her beauty sleep gets disturbed. But do you really think I care? hahahahahaha... I think on some level she must be secretly amused by my various naughty acts.

OK, now Mummy is off to work again. She says maybe this weekend she'll try out some of Auntie Tona's DELICIOUS recipes on me. Yea!

Lazy Saturday Afternoon

This was taken on Mummy's handphone a few weeks ago, and she finally had the time to touch it up and make it into a sort of mini comic. To defend myself, I'm not trying to be difficult, but Mummy can be so SLOW when it comes to fixing up my meals sometimes. It takes effort to be a patient baby, and you know what they say about hungry babies, eh? Naturally, being nice was the last thing on my mind at the time.

Kindermusik Class!!!

In case you have been wondering what I've been up to... Well, I'm now officially a school-going baby, because Mummy has started sending me to Kindermusik for weekly lessons. Mummy says I love parts and parts of it, but to be honest she also thinks she likes it more than me, because she says she's learned many many more ways to interact with me and play with me. Now she always sings me songs from the Feathers CD all the time. We both have our favourites. Even Daddy also sang me a Kindermusik song the other night.

Thanks to CarysDad and CarysMum, Mummy has the following nice nice pictures from Kindermusik to place here. Mummy says this week she wants to make Daddy stay to take photos of us. Alternatively, the naughty method is to sit next to Carys every week so that we can get many many photos taken by CarysDad, who is a GREAT photographer. Kekekekekkekekekeke

Part of my class. Can you spot me??? Oh, and on my left is my *blush* boyfriend, Kimi!

Carys and I. Mummy says Carys is like my twin sister meimei, because we were born on the same day in the same hospital!

Recruit Sim

The time came when I was finally old enough to head off to perform my national service. So one fine day I went off into the great unknown with my silly Ah Gu.

Mummy, I will miss you!!! What's going to happen to me??!! *trembling lips...* BWAAAHHHHH!!!!

Recruit Sim, this is your battle gear. Make sure you don't lose anything.

Hmmm... I think they said this is my new milk bottle from now on. I wonder if it'll contain some of my special milk??

Even baby recruits have to keep up with physical demands! Luckily I'm a strong girl!

101, 102, 103..... This is a breeze man!!!

Today is my bookout day, hurrah, hurrah.... Yay! Mummy, I'm coming home!

So, who do I look like, again?

Hahahaha... Mummy is so happy to see this result. I think she's obsessed with the idea that I look like her. LOL. It's a fun exercise though.

Of Hats and Hairclips...

Recently, the whole of SMH January Mommies went a little crazy over headgear, my mummy included. So, I ended up being a Gymboree model again. Oh, and Mummy has this thing about doggies... whenever she sees something with a doggie on it, she can't resist and soon, yours truly will have this doggie thing, whatever it is. So don't be surprised when you see me decked out in doggie wear from head to toe - Mummy designed it to be that way!

Sigh. Mummy, are you wearing this correctly for me? How come I look like a baker boy instead huh?

Do I look like I'm trying to smile? Er, actually I'm screaming at Mummy to take this off. Mummy, Auntie Icy, Auntie Mildy and Auntie Melody bought this for all four of us (me, Rachel, Charlene and Shayna) after seeing Ah Des in this (Auntie Dawn is a bad influence! hahahaha)

In addition, the other day, Mummy found this adorable clip while shopping in Raffles Place the other day. She thought my hair might finally be long enough, so she decided to just buy and try. And... TA-DAH! It fits! I think Ah Des and Charlene should look nice in it too. *Mummy grabs Claire and runs to hide under table* Hello world! Mummy says no one could possibly mistake me for a boy now. Hahaha..

All dressed up and ready to go out... If you're wondering why Mummy didn't pose a picture of me looking at the camera, it's because I REFUSED to pose, after having already posed so much earlier on. So in the end Mummy had no choice. Hiaks.

Announcement: I have a tooth!

I've officially cut my first tooth on 2 Sept 2007!!! My center left bottom tooth has finally made its appearance, making my Mummy a little teary coz she realised that I'm growing faster and faster each day.

Oh, and Daddy's just taught Mummy how to download pictures from her handphone to the PC, so now I'll have even more pictures to show you guys here! Yea!

Anyway, when I was around 5 months old, my Ah Gu bought me some Heinz's teething rusks, but due to my allergies, Mummy has delayed letting me try them (they contain wheat flour, you see). Now that I'm 7 1/2 months old, and have a tooth, Mummy thinks I can try a bit. Verdict? I likes it! I likes it! Iiiiiiii LIKES it!

Hmmmm... yum yum. My first teething rusk. Cool!
