Grasping toys

Playing in your cot

You've learnt a new skill this month - using your hands to grasp your toys. Suddenly, everything that is within reach automatically gets picked up and tasted! Does the chicken taste as good as the piece of paper you just stuffed into your mouth? Maybe you'll like to sample the plastic ball instead?

Fifth month - more explorations

Learning to sit

Mummy's first photo-taking session of you. Decided to prop you up with cushions on the sofa to see how well you can actually sit up. You did pretty well and from the photos shown here, you had great fun!

Fourth Month Adventures

Flipping over

You are becoming more active and mobile. This month, you learnt how to flip over on your tummy, heralding the start of your exploratory phase and the beginning of Mummy and Daddy's headaches! Suddenly, once simple actions like changing your diapers and putting on a shirt becomes a wrestling act as you practise your new-found skills over and over again. But the smile on your face as you succeed in turning over onto your tummy makes all the effort worth it!









First Solids

After noticing how you will salivate and move your mouth whenever you see us eat, we decided to start you on solid food after a quick check with the doctor. He gave us a sample of Nestle cereal and you had your first taste of something other than milk. Mealtimes will be a lot more interesting from now on!
After a few mouthfuls, you wanted to have a go at feeding yourself. Notice how much cereal actually lands inside your mouth!














Relaxing

Now that I'm full and mummy has left me to play by myself, what shall I do next until the next mealtime? I still can't stop salivating. Aha, that foot looks interesting... maybe I should put it into my mouth to see how it tastes. Is it going to be sweeter than my rice cereal?

Third Month snapshots

Explorations

This is what you love to do when you're not sleeping.
No, mummy didn't accidentally post so many of the same photos - this is to demonstrate how you indulge in your favourite pastime...fist in, nibble nibble, out it comes! in it goes, nibble nibble... you get the picture.

Second month outings

This is mummy's favourite photo of you this month. Don't know where you learnt to give such a cheeky lop-sided grin! You must have inherited it from your daddy.








Visiting tai ma

That's your ku jie posing with you.









Giving tai ma one of your increasingly frequent smiles

First visit to Pasir Ris Park

We strolled down to Pasir Ris Park on mama's birthday. You got to breathe some fresh sea air and Daddy had a chance to take outdoor pictures of you.
We took turns posing with you and trying to make you smile at the camera. You probably wonder what that huge black odd thing with a menacing light coming out of it is and why everyone keeps wanting you to look straight at it..somehow you succeeded for this shot!

Thanks to an invention called a tripod, Daddy can finally take a photo with you!

Snapshots (1st month)

Am I bored lying in this little cot the whole day!
When can we go home so that I can enjoy my very own bed? It only arrived three days ago because Daddy and Mummy didn't expect me to arrive so soon.









Catching a snooze on Daddy's nice and warm tummy.

Hi there, who have we here? Oh, it's great-grandma smiling at me... Hmm, should I smile back too?

First Month celebration

That's your grandma and great-grandma posing with you at the "man yue" celebration. Mummy celebrated too because she can finally be "unconfined" and resume normal life... well, sort of normal. With you needing milk every three hours, life will never quite be the same anymore!

First Child

You arrived almost a month early. First grandchild for the Loh and Chan families, Jee and Cindy's first child. You came screaming into the world and into our hearts.. a sharp, shrill wail that only abated after you were cleaned and wrapped up. A future karaoke singer, Dr Neo remarked. We however prefer you to aspire for a more classical endeavour!
