Grrrrrr ... ... I've Got Teeth!

Two weeks ago, we (Hubs and I) thought Huirou was experiencing a severe bout of separation anxiety. It turns out that she's just teething. A few days ago, I realised that one of her teeth has cut through. There is another one right next to it that is still sprouting, but she seemed fine now. I tried and tried for a good photo but she did not cooperate. So maybe I'll get a good pix later to post. I posted just so that I know when she's cut her first tooth.

Take Two

On your left is THE high chair that everybody knows is cheap and good. Yep. You're looking at the restaurant-approved, minimalist Ikea Antilop high chair.

On your right, however, is the IMPROVED version. It is NOT a camera trick





Now you can feed your little one in the living room while watching TV. No need to put a leg on the walker to stop it from moving around. No more being stuck at the dining table while your little one refuse to eat and you're missing the replay of Hamilton hitting Alonso.

Only Available in Hubs Store. Made with 50% sweat and 50% ingenuity.
Baby not included.

A Malay Wedding

Last Sunday, Huirou accompanied Hubs and I to a wedding at Putrajaya. She attracted alot of attention and practically stole the limelight. The place was beautifully decorated and the food was delicious, but all she cared about was Daddy's camera. So we had a lot of pictures of her. We were out for four hours or so, and in all that excitement she missed a nap. So on the way back she was pooped and napped all the way from Putrajaya to Klang.

Huirou @ 7 Months

I bought this dress for her to attend a wedding with us. Really gorgeous right? At seven months, we are seeing Huirou meet a lot of developmental milestones.


Without further ado, our little one has already accomplished the following:
  1. Moves commando style ALL OVER the place. She can scoot from one end of our king-sized bed to the other in 10 seconds. (Yep, this geeky momma timed her :) )
  2. She can rest on her palms and her knees but yet to figure out how to dig in with her knees to crawl. So stay tuned for this exciting event, coming soon :)
  3. Able to grab something and pass it from hand to hand. Able to take aim at things she wants. If she doesn't get what she wants, she exercise her verbal skills. see below
  4. Last month, she will try to desock herself; but this month she can definitely do it whenever she wants. She just pull her socks off with her ...ermm... gums ...
  5. Able to sit without support. But still plops down with a BIG thud when she gets tired. When will the young lady learn to be less chor lor??? (Hokkien: rough)
  6. Have solid foods 3 -4 times a week. Loves carrots.
  7. Able to utter 2-syallabus gibberish. the experts say that these are pre-language development. I just think they are cute. But then nothing is uncute about her.
  8. Is a little apprehensive of strangers at the same time have developed some mild separation anxieties. namely, she is getting clingy attached to me
So, she's still the same happy baby. Just physically stronger, smarter, taller, and more willful.
