Speckie Vera!

The little botak head with a pair of green specs!

Your very first toothbrush!

You finally have your first toothbrush!(not counting the baby rubber thingy that we put our finger in and brush your gums). And we found a toothbrush holder to put between Daddy's and Mummy's :)

Hooded Jacket

Because we have not been letting you gotten used to wearing a hat or headband on your "botak" head, you actually hate to put anything on your head! The last time you had anything on your head was probably when you were 8 months old (gotta check back the blog for the last time).

However, you allow us to put the hood over your head this time round! And we had to repeat that you were "mei mei" and that makes you keep touching your head to make sure the hood was still on.

You even like to walk with a handbag in your arms now! Like a "tai-tai" in the making!

A day at Prima Revolving Tower Restaurant and RWS

A random day of growing up

Today is a day full of activities! Since we have some time after praying, Daddy n Mummy decided to borrow some books. Hence to the National Library! Then we went for our weekly lesson and then off to Changi Airport to meet Lucas and family!

Video of Vera loitering at the void deck while waiting for daddy's car:

There was one instant when you a truck passed by and you were frightened by the loud engine noise, and you walked very fast! It was captured in the video and I thought it looked quite "cartoon".

In the library, you were busy running around and chasing another 18 month old boy! NLB is a good place for you to roam about while Daddy and mummy can read some books. Decided to read to you before bedtime so as to cultivate a good reading habit! :)


Pointing at some notice in the library

Look at the number of golf club sets! Think there is a tournament coming up. You were really curious and keep walking up towards it, while Daddy has to chase after u!

So many golf clubs



You were roaming around airport and even snatched a 14 month old boy's balloon!! So spoilt! And you cried when we wanted to return him. You hugged the balloon and attempted to run away!

Making sure that nobody is chasing you

Diaper change

For the past few months since you learnt to flip over at 4 months old, every diaper changing time turns into a struggle for us! We have to pull you down and try to divert your attention with any toys or with the diapers. Often, I will end up having a backache and being very irritated. I dread changing diapers because it is very difficult to pin you down and wipe that poop out of your butt, sometimes ended up in a GREAT MESS!

But oh butt... now I realise that you no longer struggle when we change your diapers! You will lie down and look at me patiently while we wipe your little butt clean and shine.

What happened along the way? Is it because you realise that poop on your butt is uncomfortable? All the while, you never really alert us when you have poop! You can even sleep in your own poop. So I conclude that you are a VERY DIRTY LITTLE GIRL.

Nevertheless, still love you :) Hope you remain like this for the rest of the diaper changing days.

Laughing video

You were fascinated by me shaking my head. Love the way you giggle with those small pearlies. Cheerful little baby!

Love,
Mummy

How heavy are you?

And you are 8.2 kg now. Abit on the small side :)

The old folks keep wondering where did all the food goes to? You eat 3 solid meals a day with fruits in between as snacks. And you drink 150ml of milk at 7am, 10am, after lunch (4-6pm), and before bedtime, but still so small size!

Your cousin baby (Kayden) at 5 mths old is already bigger size than you! Oh dear!

But I always emphasise that you are a very active baby. And active is important! So you are just a petite little girl  :)

Vera sits in bicycle basket

You really love sitting in your granny's basket! Even at 13 months old you still can do that. Just abit squeezy though :)

Love,
Mummy

Play soccer

You can kick the ball (although not walking very steadily). But when taking this video, you refuse to kick....


Love,
Mummy

CNY 2011

Happy Chinese New Year!! Still remember one year ago you were just 6 weeks old with mittens and lie there like a innocent young kitten. One year later, you already can walk steadily! So proud of your new milestone. Just 2 weeks ago you were learning how to walk with assistance, now you can already walk.

CNY Day 1:

Playing with the red stool

CNY Day 3 Gu-po house




 

CNY Day 4 at daddy's friend house

You did not want to take your nap and we had to push you in your stroller before you managed to fall asleep.. Guess you were really tired out by the 4 days of relatives' visiting. And we had to feed you with whatever that we can made out of. Rice with soup, fried rice, sandwich just to name a few because we did not cook and bring porridge for you.


 

Vera walks with shoes:

Love,
Mummy

Are you a third party?

Recently we found out that you do feel jealous!

You will whine and cry when you see your daddy and mummy hug together! It is a funny scene because it makes you look like a third party :)

However, you actually do not even care a bit if we carry other kids! So why are you jealous when we hug each other? You always make us laugh out loud..
