School Uniform

You have been going to school for 2 months and you have been crying for 2 months every morning before we drop you off.

However, teacher said that you only cry a while and you will stop once we leave. Sigh. Don't know if it is a good idea to let you go school. Don't know if you really cannot adapt well. Hope some experienced mother will enlighten me

So difficult to bring you out!

Nowadays when you see rides in shopping centres, you will crawl up and sit in there for a very long time refusing to go! And because Mummy cannot carry you, found it really troublesome to bring you out nowadays!

Please be a good girl so Mummy can bring you out to shop ok?

Today we also brought you to a trial lesson at Growing Up Gifted. The lessons are different from that in Baby Jumper Gym. I think you are rather unfamiliar with the settings in GUG. I would love to continue in BJG but your teacher, Jesslyn has already quit so we decided to try out other schools.

Brought you to Carrefour at Suntec and you were happily pushing a squeaky trolley. Took a video of it as you were really very cute! And again, you refused to let go of the trolley when we were supposed to leave. *headache* Lucky for the MACHO daddy who carried you away.

Love my new hairclip?

Daddy's girl

Cheese with Mickey Mouse!

Zoo

Went to the zoo with your aunties. First time to the zoo and it was raining cats and dogs. So we waited in the carpark until the rain subsided. Luckily, it stopped and off we go to the zoo!

Had macdonald's breakfast before heading to the zoo...

A day at Changi Airport

Plane watching

Today I asked Vera to pose for me to take picture. She put out her hands and open and close her fists.. That is her posing!

This is my pose

My first Skytrain ride. So i have to hold the railings

I was asking Daddy to stop the trolley. So i can take the impossibility of a person's butt in that small space. And Vera immediately tried to push the trolley to make it move.

Move it!

Fell off the bed

You tried to struggle when we wanted to help you put on your diapers. And you twist and turn and fell off the bed! Mummy only managed to grab your legs but it was too late. Resulted in a BIG BLUE BLACK on your forehead! 

And just as I thought that you are probably the only baby that did not fell off the bed before. And I thought how was it possible that parents let their kids fell off. Now I know~ Kids are so active and their action is toooo fast for the tired parents!

Can you see the big blue black?

Rabbit is my best friend

My first Competition

Today Vera went to Baby Fair at Expo and she joined the telematch for toddlers (12-18 months).

They are supposed to carry a beach ball from point A to B, do stacking of rings at B and then carry beach ball back to A.

Vera successfully completed carrying beach ball from A to B, struggled a bit trying to put the stacking rings. And did not complete the last part carrying the ball back to A. She was too busy playing the stacking rings (why didn't she bother to play the exact same toy at home?)

However, we still had a consolation prize - a pack of Huggies Wipes! 

Along the way, there was a AIA booth and she was given a "thinking cap". Surprisingly, she allowed the cap to be on her head for more than 10 minutes!

Loving the cap

......my thinking cap.....

Took a video of her telematch. However, the blur Daddy forgets to record the middle part where (30 seconds maybe) she is supposed to be stacking the rings because he was busy asking Vera to stack the rings.

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 :)

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.

Play soccer

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


Love,
Mummy

Vera learns to walk

Another milestone of yours. You can walk a fair distance with assistance. You also can walk yourself for a maximum 5 steps. And when you are excited you RUN!

Love,
Mummy

Vera goes out with Baby Lucas

Happy 1st Birthday!

Finally! Vera is one year old! I survived one year of motherhood!

She has brought alot of laughter to the family and she makes the family bond even better than before.

I wish she can grow up to be a fine lady. Most importantly is she has to be healthy and happy!

That's all I wish for her life.

Vera's First Christmas

Vera's first christmas celebration. No party, just visited her grandmother as per usual saturday house visiting.

Still remember last year, Daddy and Mummy were anticipating your arrival. Mummy was heavily pregnant and now you are already close to one year old. How time flies!

Cannot fit into this basket soon

Granny's bicycle basket is getting too squeezy. Oh! How big you have grown :)

Trying to grab my phone



Vera plays mahjong. Finally got to touch the tiles as you watch your us play but you could only watch afar from the sofa. Taught you 东南西北中. Hope you become mahjong queen!



Where is your head?

When asked "where is your head?" , Vera will put both her hands behind her head!

So finally you know where is your head! Taught you probably 20 times.

Vera can stand!

Now Baby Vera can put herself into squatting position and push her legs to stand!

And she will applaud herself for standing with a proud grin. After 5 seconds, she will bend her legs and sit back down.

She was so amazed with her new skills, she kept repeating the whole process for the whole night!
