Nursery or nursery?

We were travelling along the BKE to Jurong for my sil's son birthday celebration. And on the way, so while I was chatting with Tiffy, we passed by a nursery plant....

Mummy: see what is over there? with a lot of sun shades
Tiffy: what is that?
Mummy: That is a nursery.
Tiffy: huh?? nursery? *pause*
Mummy: ya nursery, where young flowers and plants grow
Tiffy: huh? cannot be la! *laughs*, nursery is for young children like me to go to lar!!

Celebrated Daddy's 33rd Birthday

Hmmm.. that is how old we are getting...

Mummy and Daddy had a date (those once in a blue moon kind) and we chiong out early in the morning without plans..cos apparently mummy never make plans and daddy had expected her to make the plans heehee.. So we decided to park out car at Bishan (cos parking charges in town is super duper high during weekdays), we took a MRT ride and ended up at K-Box Suntec and sing our lungs out from 11am to 2pm (lunch included, *phew* saved mummy some money wuah haha) then went back to Bishan to catch a show - Star Trek (not much choices) and went for a dinner at AMK Jack's Place..finally we could have some time alone without the kids and can eat at our time own target. And when we were home, all of us led by Tiffy sang a birthday song for Daddy.

Outing at East Coast Park

Finally a public holiday and dear Daddy was not working!

So we all headed out to East Coast Park to cycle. Of cos, Mummy being a preggie now couldnt cycle but still a little sea breeze helped to soothe the nerves ;) And *claps* for Tiffy who managed to learn to cycle on a tricycle.

Happy Mothers' Day!

Here are mummy's pressie for this year!

1) A lovely bouquet of flower from my dear sister

2) A lovely surprise from Tiffany

And 2 songs from Tiffany... so sweeet..

Heartwarming and touches my heart

Yesterday night, after dinner, I had a very bad stomach ache like with a lot of wind and very painful..so i lie on my bed to rest..and then Tiffany was such a darling she came to the room so many times at intervals to check on me 'Are you feeling better?' And when i vomitted in the toilet, she saw and helped tapped my back...After that, while i was back to bed resting, she continued her checks till i was up and could make milk for her. By then, i was feeling better probably i had vomitted out all the offending food already and heh maybe love has helped my stomache recover faster mah... It was really so sweet of her. *Muacks muacks* to my darling girl Tiffy!

Melody is 15mths old

Melody is such a jovial little baby, every little thing she would laugh.. =) I find it especially funny when she shakes her violently when she dont want something! And when she stamps her feet when she wants something very badly *denotes as 撒娇*!
Of cos lar, she also knows how to nod her head too..

Think she is also learning to sound words cos i tink i could make out words like ball, 抱抱 (very expert in this word :D), 姨姨，爷爷，婆婆， 姐， dear, dy as in short form of daddy, there, 呐 (also an expert)， give, 'mum mum' as in wan to eat... But i dont know why she don like to call me when i asked her to call me lei...so jealous...

Tiffany's First Field Trip

Tiffany's very first outing with her classmates in school on Monday, 27 April 2009. Based on the theme of the term which is Transportation, the school brought the nursery kids out for a MRT ride and Bumbo ride. Daddy has exercised the option to accompany her for her very first outing. =)

Infectious laughter

Wonder why Melody is so ticklish, laugh till she toppled over! =)

Fever over

Finally, Tiffy's fever went down, and could see her bubbling again.. =) have missed her chatty nonsense and ransacking, the house seemed a little quiet with her ill. She was tired and sian sian all day and dont want to eat much. Have to coax and begged her to eat a bit so as to take medications. Gave her milk also vomit...very trying days...

This morning, her fever was finally gone and the old Tiffy emerged again, she was a sunshine, talk and talk while i prepared to go to work! We were so happy to see her recovered...hmmm but her appetite has not returned yet..still eat so little..but we were relieved that her fever was gone..but i tink Melody is starting to take over her symptoms...

Tiffy down with fever

My Tiffy went down with fever on Tuesday night, she had fell asleep at 7pm which was pretty early for her and she has no appetite for dinner....she was sleeping with me at night and somehow before sun rise, i could feel her temperature rising...and it read 38.7degree!

Oh gosh, so decided to take child mc and we took her to her PD yesterday morning... poor her, she vomits out all her milk when she coughed and had a bad running nose..the flu bug had got her liao wor.

Must be very tiring for her..cos she slept through the afternoon, managed to coax her to have a bit of dinner and then medicine...and she fell asleep again at 8pm..wonder if my little princess is ok already....??

haiya, forgot to tell the maid to boil some barley with melon strips for her!!!

Melody's due for injection

Hmm..usually i wouldnt ask the PD wad injection she gave Melody cos i trust that the PD knows what she is giving and when she ask me to come back i will jus go back lor.., but somehow yesterday out of curiosity i asked...and its for pneumococcal vaccine..

haha..mei mei was very steady de lor...she wanted to get down the bed when the PD went near her! And while i carried her, she struggled with a bull's strength when PD tried to inject her keke...Her PD said ' Wow she is very strong and fierce! She knew she was coming for injection?'..and when it was done, she was still sobbing away..poor mei mei..must be very traumatic..told Tiffany dont tell her mei mei that she was gg for injection le lor, and she still told mei mei...

Stats:
Weight - 8.45kgs
Height - 75cm
HC - 45cm

vainity rules...

Tiffany has been pestering me to bring her to 'poke' ear ring holes for her..and finally today we brought her to a shop at wisma and had her wish fulfilled. She was very brave o...nvr cry and when asked her not to move she really din move...while she was having her ear done, her mei mei was fusing to be part of it too..and so..Melody too had her ears pierced! But Melody screamed after the ear ring went thru! When the initial 'shock' was over, she was proudly pointing to her ear smiling away when we said pretty and all. :)

Many expressions...

Clockwise: mischievious look, showing her teethy smile, happy cos can 'drive' daddy's care, o laugh, playing with the wet wipes, pretending to be angry look.

Its a baby Girl!

A picture says a thousand words... yes! Tiffany and Melody are gg to have another baby sister! Not sure what we are gg to name her yet...still thinking....still thinking....

Walking and Posing at 14 mths

Comparison of Tiffany and Melody when they were 1 year old

Remembered taking Tiffany for her first holiday trip and we had to go ICA to take a passport photo...so here it is...

and recently we brought Melody to ICA to make her first passport and took her first passport photo...for her first holiday trip overseas to Genting, Malaysia...

can see the difference in them already...heehee...cos when they were babies they look almost photocopied...especially so when newborn... :)

New haircut

heh Tiffy had a new hair style "short and sweet" by renowed hairdresser PO PO!!

Number 3 on the way... ...

On mid December 2008, discover that i missed my period for a couple of days and when the 1st pregnancy test kit showed +ve...and I could really feel my face turning white with shock. Then becos I did not expect to get preggie again and have no plans to. I remembered walking back to the pharmacy and bought the 2nd test kit. This time, i did the test again in the morning a few days later, and it still showed +ve. Finally convinced that the kit couldnt be bluffing me, i had to break the news to daddy. He was surprised as well.

The next few days/weeks flew by and i was still trying to reconcile the fact that i am pregnant with number 3! It was not an easy decision but we decided to keep her...as we knew that every baby is a blessings. Hmm...not an easy decision becos it was not easy to juggle 2 young kids now, whats more with another baby arriving soon. But nevertheless, i am getting very used to the idea of having a new addition and anticipating for her arrival. Erh...at this point, i still dont know the gender but yet i had a feeling that it is a girl...that makes 3 princesses in the family.. =)

I only went for my first checkup on 5 Jan 2009...nearly 2 months preggie....

5 Jan 2009 - Scan showed baby's gg to be due on 19 Aug 2009 and can hear her heartbeat too
30 Jan 2009 - Scan showed that baby is already 4.37cm long
24 Feb 2009 - Scan showed that babi is 8.86cm

Mummy: Yes...
Tiffany: why?
Mummy: (trying very hard to explain) Hmm, have to pay school fees for materials, for teacher's pay, for music lessons, etc all hav to incur money....
Tiffany: (cut me short) Then Supri (our maid) have to pay me money too!
