Angel's first attempt on walker - 21 March 2010

We spent the whole Sunday at home. I took time to clean my third room, throwing rubbish and rearranging the stuff, and also to sweep and mop the floor. Hubby also take her usual routine to clean both washrooms, good good good. We were lucky as Angel slept well in the afternoon. She now has a new style, she would want us to carry her, and she will learn to sit and stand. Of course we wouldn't want to stress her, but if we stop doing that, she will shout at us. So now we will have her standing in between our legs, or I will let her to sit on the mattress, then she decide when to stand and when to sit. And on the same night, I said why not let her try on the walker. My sis borrowed me the walker, thank you. Got it washed and cleaned. You would see below photos and I do not have to say any further, she is seriously ENJOYING!!!!

That session lasted less than 10 minutes. We do not want to stress her back. We will try this some other time.......

ANGEL, GOOD JOB! KEEP IT UP

Weekend regime!

This weekend, there's a Motherhood Exhibition happening in Midvalley. Our hopes was high for this event as we wanted to get cheap clothes for our Angel. Her current wardrobe is all not suitable anymore for her, the shirts and pants shrinking........not exactly but because my little Angel is growing taller and taller day by day...But the moment we reached, disappointment. There's only a stall there selling, but not as cheap as we expected.
Yet, hubby is realistic enough to say we must still get her new clothes. Off we go to Metrojaya. Got her changed to a new diaper and we went to hunt for cheap clothes.

Lucky enough, the sales is on and we managed to get a few at a very good price, those we could afford. We also bought her an additional pillow to place at the babysitter's house.
Next stop, Jusco. I bought teether, bottle warmer, baby bib and a few clothes for her as well. Teether, her sliver has been dropping frequently now, and I bought teether for her, just to ease her gums. Baby bit, of course to avoid from her shirts getting wet. I'm also glad that Jusco is having sales as well.
Then to Carrefour. We loaded up our groceries. Hubby and I bought cooking oil, vegetables, chicken, mushroom, pasta and some others to cook at home. Cooking now is a must-do nowadays, I would usually cook dinner in the weekdays. During weekend, if we did not go out, I will also cook. Perhaps, main reason is to save, other factors would be to have a healthier meal, less oil, less salt, no MSG. And also if we were to eat out, it will be troublesome with Angel around, we can't be bringing her to the stalls outside.
And since it is a school holiday, there's a Alice In The Wonderland setup in Midvalley Centre Court. And of course we wouldn't let go off any chances to snap photos of her. Somehow I am glad that we bought the camera. I have not tested the functions to the fullest, but it is definately nicer than the normal digital camera.

We woke up late, late late!!!

On Friday, both of us and our Angel slept till 7am. OMG, this is seriously late, one hour later than my usual wake up time. Hmmm, I remembered feeding her at 5am, then my alarm rang at 5.45am and that's it. Worst of all, my hubby also did not wake up. Aiyoh, then he blamed me on the air-cond. He is not quite satisfied with me requesting for air-cond to be turned on. These few days are seriously hot hot and hot. I understand his concern to save the electricity, but I thought ours is the inverter model, which is supposed to save electricity.....but we have not tried yet, in which I should make a headstart first.
Anyway, thank goodness it is a school holiday, the traffic wasn't bad, we managed to send baby at 7.30am, then reach office at 8am. When I woke her up, she was also looking so blur, like waking her up from her sweet dream. I asked her why don't she wake me up, which she usually does......and what she did, SMILING CHEERFULLY....as if she laughed at me, me looking so clumsy for the first time in front of her......

She surprised us!

A few minutes ago, Angel surprised us by laughing out very very loud continuously. At first she was crying because she doesn't want to lie down on the mattress. I then carry her into my arms, and hubby tried to make her to stop crying. Little did we know, she just turn to laugh instantly. Aiyoh, she laugh and laugh, both me and hubby felt surprised and three of us continue to laugh and laugh. This is the first time both of us witnessed her development together. And I am so glad. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.Tonight, she also showed some progress. She knew how to lift up her backside slightly. We must be dreaming of her crawling next. Not so soon I guess.
Last Friday, the babysitter said Angel had diarrhea. She passed out motion for three times. And add one more to four times after I took her back. I was worried, yet I want to observe until the next day before deciding to consult the doctor.
On Saturday morning, as I wanted to bathe her, I saw her stools all yellow in colour. That is not normal for her. I quickly rang my mum, the babysitter and my sister. Luckily all of them said that is a sign of her tooth growing. I hope so. As Angel is not showing any sign of not comfortable, I decided not to go to the clinic. As usual, hubby took us to Midvalley, this round to buy another set of the mosquito net. This time, there is 20% discount. Good news!
Good news turned out to be bad. After he finished measuring and cutting the magnetic stripes, he found out that the net measurement does not match what is written on the box. Which is why, on Sunday, again we made a trip to Midvalley to exchange a new one. Aiyah.....
These two days, of course we continued with our usual routine, 'chak', 'chak', chak'......and not bad results, we managed to get quite many nice shots.

Taken 10 minutes ago.....SO ADORABLE!

She also had one more new habit, she will love to hold on to my finger whenever I feed her with milk. Sense of security I think or maybe she's learning to grab on things which is a good progress. Which is why I purposely ask hubby to take this down.

Now she is in the room with hubby. He is putting Angel to sleep while giving me time to write my blog. Initially he was saying that it's crazy to blog, but now he would recommend her siblings and his friends to visit my blog. Hmmm, finally he realizes that it is a good thing to blog, to pen down all memories I had and to share them with everyone!!!!!! **GOOD**

5 secs is all she needs!

Yesterday night, big discovery. I found out that Angel took about 5 secs to turn over her body. And damn steady! She can now lift up her head higher and for a longer period too. She will not shout that much, keeping quiet, looking left to right. When you call her name, she will either smile or laugh out loud. We both are so proud of her. Note the below photos, taken on 3 Mar and 7 Mar.

It is already her third week of babysitting. So far so good, not much complaint. Everyday the babysitter will share with me her updates. She seemed to be teaching Angel alot of things, in fact Angel picked up fast on turning her body, thanks to the babysitter. Now the babysitter complained that Angel will open her big mouth and wants to bite her face. Aiyohhh, she did that at home. I thought she wanted pacifier. I did not realise she wanted to play with me as well.
This babysitter of mine often takes Angel out. To me it is fine, so long as she is careful with her. Everyday when I go over to pick her, Angel's face is smiling with joy, as if she wanted to share her happy moments with me. And she smells good which I find very satisfying. I can sense that the babysitter and her family really love Angel as well. Her daughter seems to love her very much.
But I do not know why, perhaps ever since she is hook up with the turning over hobby, she seem to slim down quite a bit. I noticed that with her clothing. Previously it is tight tight, now loosen a little bit. For sure, the pants get shorter and shorter, she definitely grow taller.
One problem I found, everytime when she finished her milk, even after she burps, she will continue to vomit out some of the milk she drank. The babysitter said perhaps her digestion system is not that good or maybe her stomach can't accommodate so much milk at a time. But still Angel insist to drink more. That is why sometimes we gave her 5oz rather than the usual 4oz given earlier. I would need to search for more info to find the cause of it.
Now she is sleeping. Tonight, I let her sleep earlier than her usual time 10.00pm. She has this kind of bad habit, she will shake her head non stop and you would find her head not on the pillow by morning. Hahahahaha, that's my CUTE LITTLE BABY!!!

Hubby went Team Building in PD!

On Friday off work, hubby went to PD for Team Building. This means I am left alone with Angel in da house. I asked the babysitter to drop her off my house. Somehow I am glad that she can drive and I can have that flexibility. I didn't try on picking Angel up myself yet so far. I do not know if I can handle.
The best thing of all, Friday is also my first day of "Aunty Visit". That adds up to the pressure I will have for the weekend. On Friday evening, it was all right. I put Angel on the bed while I go to have my shower. It is definitely a challenge to take. I just cook Maggi Mee to eat for dinner. Can't be spending time cooking without hubby by the side.
Saturday, she woke up at about 9.30am. I bathed her and put her on a lovely blue shirt and pants. Then I told her that I had to get shower too, she behaved nicely and did not turn around until I am done. Good girl. I accompanied her, feed her and put her to sleep. I cooked 'mee suah' for lunch.
The day went on smoothly and when she sleeps, I followed the same. I am very tired myself and dozed off instantly.
At night, I received a call from hubby. He said he will follow his colleague back to KL after the activities. He is supposed to return on Sunday afternoon with the company bus. But he managed to find people who drive and can fetch him as well. I guess he must have missing her daughter very much. He reached home at about 11+pm. What he did? He came in the room, looked at her daughter who is sleeping soundly, kissing and smelling her forehead. And me at the side, no questions asked. Normal I guess. Put it this way, he is worried of me and Angel at home, and he came back earlier to see us. Hahahahahaha.
This morning, Angel woke up earlier. Perhaps she is hungry. I cleaned up the house at 8am. I got her bathed at 9am and now after several round of turning over, she is tired and slept. Hubby is sleeping with her now. He is extremely tired from the Team Building. I do not know what time they will wake up. I had to go to eat biscuit first.....
