C.H.L.O.E

This afternoon I went to Taka to get a card for my girlfriend who's birthday is round the corner. I saw a really cute 'name frame' from Precious Moments. It is made up of small cardboard pieces of alphabets that you can choose to make up any name you want. I love it. This will be displayed in Chloe's room when my flat is ready next year.

Yum Yum Yummy!

This Sunday morning, Chloe woke up early as usual. She was in a cheery mood. She has this habit of smiling & singing out loud at the start of her day. She was even happily smiling at me while i quickly grabbed my camera to capture her funny pose on the bed.
I brought Chloe to the market alone to get my breakfast as Pete was out of the house early for his annual company event. After I came up, I suddenly thought of the pack of Pigeon fish biscuits I got for Chloe last week. So i opened up the pack n let Chloe have a taste of the biscuit. She loves it!

Here is my messy little girl with biscuit crumbs around her mouth :)

Little Chopin?

Tadaaa! Here it is! The much awaited new toy for Baby Chloe. Her little Strawberry Piano. Mummy has been buying mostly Clothes for Chloe. This is the 2nd toy Chloe has, present from Mummy for Children's Day!

Thanks to Auntie Charmaine (who's birthday happens to fall on Children's Day too) who got mummy this cheap lobang haha! Well...mummy thought this would make a great toy as long as it can entertain Chloe with the colourful buttons & keyboard & not to mention the cute strawberry design. Now the next step mummy has to do is to get batteries!!

Mid Autumn Festival

This is my first Mid Autumn Festival with Chloe. Nothing much done with her or for her except that Chloe went with daddy to the lantern festival last Saturday. I hope by next year when Chloe learns how to walk we can bring her to the nearby park with her lantern.

Here's a pic of little Chloe with daddy.

Mom's Crazy Over Scrap Booking!!

It's the weekends! YEAH YEAH! Pete & Chloe has gone to watch the laterns in Chinatown with my younger sis.

Hmmph! I've actually wanted to go to town to get myself a new belt to match my new top. However I'm happily ALONE AT HOME doing something very addictive! ONLINE SCRAP BOOKING. Here are some of my 'works'

Chloe - 6 Months Album

FINALLY!!!!

This is EXACTLY what I want to tell the delivery guy when I saw the bumper mat delivered to my door step last nite.

I've waited so long for this BP (Bulk Purchase) online. Almost 3 months!! The organiser did not manage to get the hugely popular WORLD MAP design for the eager mummies who ordered afterall. We had no choice but to settle for other available designs.

Pete & I chose this YELLOW BEAR design for Chloe. Hmmm...I am not very excited (b'cos I waited SoooO long for it?) when the mat was delivered, nor am I equally excited when I unzipped the bag holding the bumper mat & finally saw the actual product.

All I can say is, I am glad I finally have this item for Chloe's playtime. I can visualise her crawling, sitting & lying on it at this very moment. Let's hope Chloe will like to play on this bright & cheerful mat.

GONG GONG IS BACK!!!

Chloe is such a fortunate baby. Everyone loves her including Gong Gong of cos! Gong Gong went on a trip to Guang Zhou China & got quite a few presents for Little Chloe including a 100% Handsewn Silk woven blanket & 2 sets of Silk Top & pants set for the coming Chinese New Year.

A Lazy Sunday @ Yiyi's House

Today is SUNDAY. Needless to say I've already got the MONDAY BLUES, since Pete & I has got nothing much to do, we've decided to bring Chloe to my sister's place. Chloe has been quite wakeful at night recently, hence both Pete & I have eye bags & dark eye rings. Alas we found some time lazing & napping at my sis place followed by a surprise DURIAN treat & later on to IKEA.

Here's little Chloe happily playing on An an cousin's bumper mat.

G.I JANE

Mummy thinks Chloe is learning how to crawl soon. Chloe's favourite activity is BULLDOZING on the bed. Dun underestimate this tiny baby..SHE HAS GOT STRONG ARMS!

Look! Chloe doing PUSH UPS! .

Scrunch Scrunch!!

I wonder why babies are so intrigued by the sound of plastic bags. My girl simply loves to play with them! (Under my supervision of cos!) She'll grab & scrunch & put them in her mouth salivating at the same time.

*Humph!* Just this morning, while daddy is busy at work, little Chloe had a BIG..i mean HUGE dump! Her poo is so stinko that mummy has to change her IMMEDIATELY. Guess it's not mummy's day again. Notti Chloe flipped over almost immediately when mummy opens a new pack of wet wipes.

Needless to say, mummy had a hard time getting Chloe to lie still. Mummy ended up with poo on her palms & she was struggling with Chloe while on the way to the bathroom. Mummy has no choice but to give Chloe an early morning SHOWER.

Like Mom Like Daughter?

I've always got people telling me Chloe looks more like daddy but there's also a handful who commented that Chloe looks like me. Had fun playing this online look-alike meter. Here's the RESULTS haha!

Chloe is 6 mths old today!

My dear baby is exactly 6 months old today. 6 full months..WOW! I cannot believe I have come this far. From her 1st few moments of life in this earth when she made her first cry in the hospital ward, to the days I was breastfeeding her till now when she can say her ahhs & giggle out loud when daddy tickles her. Chloe is our little miracle.

This past 3 days, mummy is worried though. Little Chloe has a runny nose & a slight cough. Mummy's little girl is very cranky especially during feed & sleep time. Her appetite was not quite her usual , she will fuss & cry quite badly. No pacifier can calm her, no amount of milk can make her smile. Mummy is dreading & images of Chloe's past bout of bronchiolitis flashed in her mind. Only when mummy & daddy carries Chloe will she stop crying temporary. Mummy & Daddy are wondering if she is now teething, hence the discomfort. We are monitoring her developments & hope she can be her usual smiley self again.

SPLISH SPLASH!

I was bathing Chloe today when I noticed that she can actually sit quite still & holding the bath tub for support. Chloe loves bath time. She will be happily kicking her chubby legs in the water. Hopefully Chloe can have a dip in the swimming pool real soon when mummy buys her a cute bikini!

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!!

Mummy is going to let Chloe try some REAL food soon. It's going to be Chloe's first solid food experience other than the RICE CEREAL Chloe has tried so far.

Items mummy intend to let Chloe try are: apples, sweet potatos, bananas, avocadoes & pumpkin. Mummy is going to be busy preparing more food items for Chloe in time to come. Perhaps the Braun blender mummy has kept hidden in the storeroom since she has it can come to good use now.

Mummy is going to introduce to Chloe to the different food 'groups' over a short span of 4 days for each new food item. This is to ensure mummy can pinpoint the particular food item that Chloe might be allergic to. For a start, these food should be thin or pureed that are more easily digested for a small tummy.

Mummy is hoping Chloe will react well & most importantly enjoy the different taste & texture of the food in her meal!

Visit to the Polyclinic

Early this morning, Chloe & her daddy reported at the Polyclinic for her 3rd DPT jab. Mummy is glad to learn that her dear darling has grown by 0.3kg for the past 1 mth. Chloe is now 6.6kg. Little Chloe is slightly taller at 65cm today. In 5 days time, Chloe would be 6 months old. How time flies!

Mummy's Agony

Sigh sigh..Chloe dun seem to like drinking water. Everytime I give her the bottle, she will fuss & spit the teat out. When I force Chloe to drink more, she will start to struggle from my grasp. HELP!! It's a totally different reaction when she is holding a bottle of MILK!

I was told to feed with spoon, add abit of Gripe water (with sugar???), no matter how Chloe dun seem to be drinking enough :( I am worried....

Perhaps it's due to mummy not drinking enough water herself when she was preggy with little Chloe? I am cracking my head on how to encourage her to want to drink water as her formula milk seems to be causing some constipation . Well..guess I'll have to be patient & instill the habit step by step.
