P for Panda

As you can see, my little monster can stand up on her own. Isn't she daring?


I've managed to capture this picture of Chloe clapping away, maybe I should teach her how to boogie next :P

Sleep Tight My Sweet Baby

Haha! I finally remembered to upload this picture of the completed silk blanket with Teddy Bears for my darling. Thanks to Auntie Alexis for her help! Without her, I wouldn't be able to keep my baby warm in her dreams :)

Poor Darling Chloe Is Sick Again.....

I am updating this blog with a heavy heart cos Chloe is sick again. This time round she is diagnosed with diarrhoea & suspected of being lactose intolerant :(
To add on to this, Chloe has eczema around her mouth! This has been going on & off for about 1-2 weeks. Just as the rash is healing slowly on it's own without medication, I am thrown off by this bad news again.

Chloe's pediatrician suspects that the rash & diarrhoea might be inter-related. I am quite puzzled as Chloe is taking the current formula milk quite well as we have introduced to her for a good 1 - 2 mths. Well, at this time I guess I have to obey the doctor's advise to stop all milk to Chloe immediately & try on a lactose free formula. No veg & fruits for the time being too.

The diarrhoea actually caused much discomfort to Chloe especially her buttocks are red & painful although I've applied a thick layer of Desitin to her skin. This is due to the acidic content of her poo that resulted in the red & inflamed skin. Chloe cried buckets at the doctor's office & I was pretty worried n stressed up trying to comprehend the doctor's explanation & pacifying her with toys at the same time!

The damage to my pocket was a hefty $152.35 (yeah it's by far the highest!). Well...for the well-being of my baby what choice do I have? The nurse actually cautioned that the new formula milk is tasteless & my baby might not want to consume it! I just wish that Chloe will not reject the new formula milk that will be replacing her current one.

Mummy's 1st Birthday with Baby


My 1st Birthday celebration with Chloe (& Pete of cos) started off at Mac Cafe @ Clarke Quay. Pete & I ordered a coffee each to start our day while waiting for Chloe to wake from her nap. Today happens to be Andrew & Fion's ROM day too & our afternoon was spent eating & chatting leisurely with Pete's relatives at Peony Jade Restaurant after the ROM ceremony.

Dinner was with Mom In Law @ Aerin's Italian Restaurant at Raffles City. We spent our evening enjoying our pastas & my mini birthday Cheese Cake.

Outing @ VIVO with 安安表哥

Sunday seems to be Gym day for Chloe. Mummy & Daddy brought Chloe to VIVO again. Cousin 安安 joined '妹妹' today too. We went to Candy Empire to get gummies & hazelnut cookies, Toy R Us to see THOMAS THE TRAIN & even Best Denki to check out on a lap top.




After that, all proceeded to Kim Gary Restaurant for dinner. Here is a picture of my bowl of Chilli noodles. Yummy! & I was joking with the waitress that I can literally STEAM MY FACE over the bowl haha!

Chloe is 8 Months Old!

Chloe is 8 Months Old today. Although Chloe is not really eating porridge compared to her friends of the same age at this moment, Mummy is confident she will catch up in no time.

To date Chloe is able to:

1) Reach out to Papa, Mama & Gong Gong to signal she wants to be carried.
2) She enjoys eating her Oatmeal Cereal with prunes & apples.
3) She loves to 'work out' at the Gym, crawl, climb, kick & jump & stand up on her own with support.
4) Chloe can clap her hands when you tell her CLAP CLAP or 拍拍手!

More pics of Chloe at Gymboree.
