Visit to the Optical Shop

Earlier in the month, we visited an optical shop owned by a close friend of Hubs. Huirou is actually sitting on a barstool, ok? So forgive the concerned look we have in the background and just focus on the cutie pie in the foreground.... kekek

First Book

I bought HuiRou a cloth book some time ago. It served as great entertainment whenever I have to leave her alone. Here she has just learnt to manipulate the book to get a different view... She's not turning the pages per se, nonetheless she has realised that she can play with the book rather than just looking at it. Alright, play, chew, toss, smack etc... ... the book.

Talk to Me.

This is what I meant in the previous post about Huirou inviting us to talk. Once She has this expression, you just have to catch her eye and smile. Then she breaks into a broad grin and babbles away about her day. It's great to watch, and even funner to participate in the conversation. She will actually listen and pauses while you talk before "answering" back. Cool, or not?

4- months

Huirou is now 4 months old. She has now made a number of developmental milestones and I am happy that she now

1. weighs 6.1 kg (+ 0.55) She must be taller now too, coz she can now look over her carrier.
2. Can turn from back to belly consistently. at the same time lifting her head doing mini push ups
3. Can take rest in between her push-up sessions.
4. Also loves to nap on her tummy. so cute.
5. Has a new nursing habit. Which is to nurse, look at me, nurse, look around.... So now she takes longer to finish ...
6. On top of th oohs and aahs and ees that she has been doing for some time. She can do the 'b' sound. so Hubs thinks that she will say "papa" before "mama". Ish
7. Knows how to squeal in delight when in play or tickled. She really does love playtime.
8. Can "invite" us to chat -- more on that later
9. Can bring her hands together in the "Gongxi Facai" pose.
10. Consumes 4 oz of expressed milk at a go ( up 1 oz from previous)
11. Graduated up 1 diaper size since last week.


Huirou have developed rather well physically, emotionally and socially. She is getting less clingy, needing less hugging times, resulting in less complaints from her daycare provider. She hardly cries and has never given me any trouble at bedtime. My baby is such a good baby, no?

Visit to Ipoh

Huirou and I spent Christmas in Ipoh with my family. We painted the town red with our daily excursions. While I stuffed myself full of Ipoh's best hawker food and the best teh ice (iced tea with condensed milk) , Huirou feasted on the sights and sounds of this wonderful town.

Huirou especially love the malls. I found out that whenever we were out and about, she never once cried. She was too busy taking in all the hustle and bustle of the city. She will act up whenever we reach home. I kinda like it though, coz if she doesn't act up in public then I will be less embarrassed.

During the week in Ipoh, she perfected her rolling over skills. Also, she has learnt to roll over and sleep on her stomach, which is now her favorite sleep position.
