New milestones, new thoughts, new toys!

Its been so hectic recently, that i almost forgot to update this blog!

Jadelle has been growing so rapidly, i fear that i forget all her achievements! Now, she can:

1) Wave goodbye & Say Hi!
2) kiss us on the cheeks
3) Dance to her favorite tunes (hokey pokey, itsy bitsy spider)
4) point to her head, ears, teeth, tongue, mouth and eyes when asked!
5) pat herself when we asked who is Jadelle
6) recognise ball, spider, milk bottle, dog, cat, pico (my dog!)
7) can asked us where? with her hands!
8) Blow us flying kisses!
9) play hide & seek with me
10) learn to run away when i try to "catch" her.. playing catching!
11) learnt to stand up with support, though still no independent standing! and Still rapidly crawling around!
12) She added new sounds to her baby language.. mamama, dada,arrgghh, bababa, yeeeeeeee, papapapa, etc.. :)
13) And she knows who is mummy, daddy, grandpa, grandma, auntie, uncle!

Workwise, it is tough with the recent travelling. I was away for 1 week and i miss AK & Jadelle so bad, i caught 2 earlier flights home and cut short my shopping time!! Milk supply also dipped a little..Workload is still piling up, but with the last headhunting session, it had made me wonder if it was all worth it?? I will speak with management today and see how it goes...

I was glad that Jade still want to latch when i return home, contrary to my fears that she will reject latching on after 1 week of bottle feeding x 24 hrs x 7 days.

AK is so busy with work, that he is neglecting his new toy.. hmm.. better polish and protect your car, boy! I am still so fascinated with that car.. what a difference!

OL has been sold.. we are glad at the positive returns but with a tinge of regret... if only other parties are not involved... what a difference it would have made..

Now, i will focus on other alternatives... Once Aug/ Sept is reach, AK & i will review again. What's next? so exciting..

Jadelle hit 9 months Plus! and Won Healthy Baby 2007 contest.

Life has been hectic these few weeks.. still enjoying the weekends with jadelle. She has been extremely proficient in crawling and is now enjoying standing up, though still with support!

Brought her to participate in the jalan besar grc 2007 baby contest! Thought that since she did not crawl fast enough, can balek kampong already, but, surprise! she won it! and got a BIg trophy for it! Assessment for this contest was done by doctor and a nurse.. based on motor skills, alertness of the baby, weight and height of the baby and food intake of baby!

Oh, another update? Daddy decide to get a new toy for his birthday!!

May Day long weekend!

swimming on Sat. morning with her new dolphin float.. she DO NOT LIKE IT!! ARRGGHH!!! waste my $$$$$..
But, the little lady love to pose for the camera, even in unfamliar grounds like COOL CHLORINATED WATER!
Acting surprised! I should think about sending her for theatre classes for kids next time?
Clapping her hands, something she mastered about 2 weeks ago! She really love to do this after pushing herself to sitting up position!


Wow, time flies when you are having fun! We started our long weekend with a nice dinner on Friday with AK's family...


SATURDAY:

We started off early @ 8am with Jadelle deciding to wake us up by crawling over us and babbling in her baby language (yes, we are still practicing partial co-sleeping... meaning from 3am onwards, as i am too tired to put her back to bed after latching her on!). We couldn't NOT wake up as she was threatening to explore "danger" zones like the items on our bedside table! AK & I missed her so much and we definitely enjoyed our morning in bed with her, as she is soooo cheeky!

Fed her her oatmeal cereal with EBM @ home before leaving the house, and AK bathe her (poor dear, she banged her head on the tub while trying to resist washing her hair!) and she played awhile on her playmat.

When she got sick of it, she decide that it is time to explore the sofa and the TV sideboard! Jadelle is getting really experienced in getting herself on her feet! This little lady is in a hurry! it is so difficult to change her diaper nowadays, plus, she move really fast! It is really time to childproof the sharp corners, for, i see increasingly more items of potential danger in our home that will really hurt her.. like the electrical cables @ the TV side board, the electrical plugs, the Zen coffee table, the TV side board..

Suddenly, the sideboard that appealed to us when we bought it doesn't appear so appealing now!
SUNDAY:
We went swimming on @ my uncle's condo.. she do not like the water now.. clingy baby!! "POST-IT PAD BABY?!!"

But, the pictures are lovely aren't they?

This was followed by us watching a movie with Lilian & Heng while JAdelle is taking her morning nap! When she woke up, Jadelle followed us to AK's parents place and we "deposit" her there until Dinner time, to work on decorating her room!

Dinner was a feast, as it was AK's maternal grandma's birthday bash! YuM! But Jadelle was cranky at the loud racket created by her uncles and grand uncles' Karaoke Singing..

We finished up Jadelle's room!!

MONDAY:

Spend the morning @ home as usual, and met AK's family for dim sum @ Ah Yat abalone @ Turf City, ppsssstttt: 50% off rates for Dim sum!! After this, we let JAdelle followed them, while we continued our "project", this time in the living room! hmmmm.... any comments??

I have a dream of jadelle's dream bedroom...

We went out on one of the weekends to a birthday party of kellybun's boy.. and we dress the daughter in matching colour to the daddy.. check it out below!
