CNY 2008 pictures ....

Old Uncle #3 gave Huirou this big red packet. After she figured out that all the angpows are for her she just mouths them... ... Ughh



There are soooo many places to go. And we have a lot of time in the car to take pictures. When we reach our destination, usually Huirou gets oohed and aahed at, that nobody remembers to take any photos :P



Other than Aunty Yoke Sim lar



Or me (Hubs: If you are reading this, it means I AM COMPLAINING)

Jab Day and 5 months

How time flies. Hui Rou is 5 months old. We went for her jabs again on the 2nd, and as usual the paed evaluated her as part of her well-baby visit.

Hui Rou's "report" is as below,

1. weighs 6.4 kg (+ 0.30)
2. Measures 65 cm; but one of her aunties still insists that she's Ms Tiny.
3. Squeals in delight while playing.
4. Grabs things consistently and accurately, in raking motion.
5. Loooves to suck on her index finger. She puts it so far into her mouth, she gags. Sigh ... ...
6. Readily recognizes voices that she likes (namely, mine)
7. She will now prefer to hold our fingers, than our clothing while being held.
8. Still sleeps in our bed, coz I have 15 reasons that it is good; and one that it ain't. (go ahead and laugh at me)
9. Still only take very short naps; I've decided to give up on trying to get her to nap more. She sleeps at 8pm till 8am anyways. That's normal, right?


Another thing. When the paed gave her her jab, she just gave a little eek. I was so proud. Even the nurses were amazed. Somemore she was smiling and playing on the way out. She's always like that, happy-go-lucky. She very rarely throw tantrums, or even cry. My girl's a good, happy baby and I am trying very very hard to keep her that way. And as the days go by, I now cannot imagine what it was like before she arrived. And next month, she starts solids. Gonna be fun....

Happy happy happy Chinese New Year to everybody!!

This is HuiRou's first Chinese New Year (can you tell I like all her firsts?) We ate too much. HuiRou played too much and of course received lots of ang pows.

First, we went to Granma's house in Pulau Ketam to have reunion dinner. We met with all her uncles and aunties. Then the next day, we the long trip to Ipoh to Granpapa's house where we meet more people.

She doesn't yet know what's going on though the jolly mood seems to have made her extra happy too. She's so happy she's not eating (distracted lar!) and she's not sleeping (overexcited lar!). But luckily this smart mama have the ultimate weapon to make her sleep ....... turn out all the lights!! Then she just falls asleep like a stone. Works every time. But how to make her eat more ah?

So since there's no cables here to transfer any pictures here (Huirou's grandpapa's house) , y'all keep coming back for the photos, ya?

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.
