our happy little girl

it is 'chu-san' today, 3rd day of the lunar new year. work would have started for most people but i was home with sarah as her school was closed. spend a great morning alone with her. here she is watching her barney dvd, sitting in her high chair.



the alert girl immediately turned away from the tv when she heard my hp going 'click'



like all other times, she will start smiling/laughing widely for the camera







daddy came back to bring us out for lunch. went to a hongkong cafe in junction 8 that i had been yearning to try. i had wanton noodles and we shared a plate of fried toufu with minced meat. noodles was ok, toufu was delicious. daddy had tomato fried rice which was a total failure. he vow never to order that again. they literally fried some rice and topped it with tomato ketchup and it cost 7 bucks!!!... hahaha...

it felt like a date at the cafe as sarah quietly played with a packet of ang bao given by the cafe, till she fell asleep soon after in her pram = )



her position looked so awkward that i just had to snap a picture of it... ; )

Baby einstein exersaucer

some pictures of sarah playing in the exersaucer that janet had kindly loaned to us!

getting into the exersaucer has become her daily routine now. she simply enjoys being able to stand inside it and be entertained by the various toys on the platform. the best thing about getting her into the saucer is that it helps to wear out her boundless energy!

she always looks like she is having so much fun in it, so much so that brian, who is two years old, has been tempted to climb into it on various occasions. he looks so comical in it as he is too big for the exersaucer





next 3 pictures were taken with flo's hp about a month back...still in her exersaucer ; )

Chacho & Sarah, guest starring Clubbie

sarah is always screaming whenever she sees the doggies, usually chacho would just turn her head and walk away. she wasnt able to escape on this occasion though, as she was pinned down by flo.


clubbie rewarding sarah for a job well done!

Cruising

a few pictures taken of sarah happily cruising by our bed rail. her caretakers think that she should be able to walk by 10 months!

CNY Reunion

On CNY eve, we went to membina to have a sumptuous reunion lunch with sarah's great grandma.

great grandma always looks forward to sarah's visit.


enjoying uncle nic's company!

sarah knocked out before we even reached home.

Tweety Bird

i think she looks like tweety bird with her big round head, big round eyes.

7kg

has been a while...

not due to laziness...

its due to a couple of incidents..

first of all the pc has gone down again, everythings seems to break down at the same time, the dvd player, bla bla bla......

secondly, the family has been hit with various injuries. sarah had a minor bump on the head (nothing serious), mummy aggravated her strained wrist badly, daddy had a 2nd degree burn on the right calf.

without the pc, the blogging had been delayed till today as i dragged my feet back into office from my ict.

finally after a month's haitus, due to a bout of flu and cough, sarah got her third vaccination at the turn of the year. she is tilting the weighing scale to 7kg (that probably explains why mummy's wrist is getting worse). she is still 10% off the median for a 7mths baby, but the doctor was satisfied with the growth rate.

an update on her progression, she is now able to stand and walk with support, the bed rail that we got to prevent her from rolling off the bed has instead become her support to practice standing and side walking cruising (got a phone call immediately from mummy flo when she discovered i used the incorrect term).

an update on sarah's wardrobe, got plenty of clothes for her online and at retail outlets for sarah after mummy got worried that sarah had only rompers to wear for cny, she probably has enough to wear for all 15 days of cny now. but solving one problem creates another one, now mummy's worry is 'what should i let her wear?' oh well.

no photos to post for this entry as the camera man has been grouchy of late due to his injury.

jingle of the month - "twooo twoo twoo twoo when when when?"

7 months old

was an eventful sat afternoon (after the usual weekly marketing in the morning). we headed to takashimaya in the afternoon with the mindset of spending 20 odd bucks on a manual chopper which we saw previously. apparently, we saw the price wrongly the last time... and it cost 'slightly' more. as usual, we walked around the home appliances and kitchen section, as mummy kind of like looking at containers of late. we ended up purchasing another chopper thingy used for pounding garnishes like onions, garlics, nuts etc. total damage turned out to be close to 70 bucks on these 2 items. as we made our way to JL, daddy kept lamenting that he cannot believe we spent 3 times more than planned at one stop alone. he kept chanting "over-budget" non stop. lolx....

reached JL and we 'swore' that this will be the last time we step in there for a long long time. we are really quite sick of JL as we had made many trips there to use up vouchers we had and there was really nothing to see or buy in JL. This time we made up our mind to use up the last $50 voucher. we grabbed wet tissues, new bottle teats and a swim wear for sarah.

reached home, packed the stuff we bought and went to prepare sarah's raw food for the week. excitedly, mummy went to chop the celery in the new chopper. lovely, could chop up the large amounts of veges really fast and to the size we wanted. silly mummy could not contain her pleasure and totally forgot to take the blade out. she attempted to take out the chopped celery with her hands and got her finger cut by the blade. = (

this is why you see daddy holding the knife to mince the week load of fish for sarah.... so sweet!


btw, here are the spectators for the drama we had in the kitchen. none other than sarah and grandma.


sarah enjoying her weekly dip in the pool, wearing her first swim wear! she has turned 7 months old.

On the first day of 2009,

sarah had her first 'swim'/dip in an inflatable pool which we bought at ELC's sale. we also managed to nip some bargains, a bedside barricade and bathing toys, from toys R us's 20% sale.

the weather in the morning was perfect for a dip, bright sunny day, so we set up the pool in the balcony. the doggies got aroused when we poured the floating duckies into the pool. they ran around the edges trying to fish the toys out! sarah cant help but kept laughing at them.






the session came to an abrupt end when clubbie jumped in and pee inside the pool.
