teeching

Spotted her two little teeth coming out last Thu night, while visiting doctor Chia at hougang central. That is so fast! Jiajia teething was at 8mth of age. :)

Wen wen had quite bad flu since Thu and till now (Tue) still not well, runny nose, cough, coarse throat, she had it all. Poor wen wen, hope you recover soon!

KL trip

30 Aug - 2 Sep, we went back to daddy's hometown puchong near KL. It is a packed trip including 2 family get-together dinners, visit to auntie's house, visit to sis's Art & Craft exhibition at Central Annexe, jiajia play sesseion at IOI mall and trip to Genting. Jia Jia really enjoyed herself at the train/boat rides in Genting first world indoor theme park (me & hubby and mother and wenwen accompany her) and it is the first time the sisters enjoyed a natural cooling weather of 20 degrees only. :)

Wen wen also get to taste some new food, like jared baby food (pumpin& sweet potato), banana, water melon juice, bread, char siew pau skin, plain porriage, etc. Her palate is more diversified now and she is more willing to open her mouth to what ever food sent to her mouth :p

苹果与李子

8月21日，雯雯第一次品尝苹果（汁）之后几天，也有品尝李子的果肉。 看她耸肩瞪眼的样子真是很有趣 :P

To the zoo on Sunday 17 Aug

last Sunday we went to the zoo! together with hubby's parents (who came over from Kl to help bro in law move house..) it's a warm & humid morning, but it's the first time wen wen visited zoo and for my in law it's a re-visit after almost 30 years...

佳佳这两个星期在幼儿园总是很粘我，要抱抱，不舍得我走开去上班。记得以前她可不是这样的啊，早上很爽快地就走进最多就是傍晚接她幼儿园里面去找老师或者小朋友。而平时也是粘爸爸比较多。不管怎样，做父母的确实应该给孩子无尽的关爱， 尤其是当他们有年幼的弟弟妹妹。

shanti老师说雯雯很喜欢吃粥（昨天是鱼粥，aunti 会把粥搅拌到细幼）。她在幼儿园一般是8，9 点钟吃糊糊，然后11，12点吃粥， 下午再喝两次奶。妈妈要记得给雯雯磨江鱼仔粉，好在吃粥的时候加上一点，增添口味以及补充钙质，就象当年给佳佳姐姐一样。

两姐妹呢很亲近，佳佳姐姐喜欢亲亲妹妹，或是拿玩具给妹妹，而雯雯则喜欢看姐姐的一举一动，姐姐跑跑跳跳 她也会跟着笑。妈妈爸爸看了真是心中充满暖意。

近况

佳佳7月28日晚上在家里第一次于坐式马桶里小便成功

雯雯7月底开始也会在走步机里滑来滑去，并且会晤里哇啦的说话了

妈妈从8月1 日起已经减少了给雯雯喂奶的数量， 在办公室里也没有挤奶了，家中也就是早晚各1 次，总量为以前的1/4

近况

雯雯现在可以待在走步机里几个钟头，也可以坐在床上，床垫上坐半个小时不成问题。

佳佳姐姐在幼儿园也开始了potty training，据说大多数时候都不用包尿布了，需要时会跟老师示意。看来在家里我们也要加油跟进了，可能要买个小小的马桶坐垫。
佳佳也喜欢问：（为什）么？就是会省略前两个字，哈哈 ：）
对了，记录一个重要的里程碑，从7月17日起，佳佳开始穿小底裤了 （当然为了保险起见，睡觉的时候还是穿回尿布）。

最近爸爸在妈妈的提议下开始把以前拍的录像带转录到DVD刻录机的硬盘上。我们也趁机重温了佳佳和雯雯小时候的片断。 小时候的样子真的不一样哦，她们姐妹两个还是长得有些相似，叫声更是接近。 希望将来是一对姐妹花 ：）

雯雯第一次吃米糊糊

妈妈等到雯雯刚好5个半月， 好开始让她吃辅食。其实老师都已经提醒过一两次了。妈妈特意买了新的小碗，勺子则是以前佳佳用过的。还有Henz的米糊。Ms Alice用两小匙的米糊掺奶粉准备了适量糊糊，第一勺还象征性的让妈妈来喂。 送到雯雯嘴边谁料她还挺怕的，一直想用手挡开，老师坚持耐心的喂她，而且每一勺只送很少量，雯雯总算慢慢得不怎么怕了， 不过糊糊在嘴边转转，吃进去的并不多。毕竟这只是一个开始吧。雯雯加油！

5个月

雯雯5个月打预防针时的检查结果：
体重：9.106kg （超过97% percentile)
身长：58cm （大概90% percentile)
头围：45.5cm （超过97% percentile)
真是个可爱胖妞，希望再长高一点：）

Jia Jia moving to N1 class and Wen Wen can turn over now

Recently childcare teacher has shared with me jiajia is more mature now and can graduate from PN class and go to N1. So 1 July is the first day. How is jiajia coping? Let's see what her form teacher has reported:

Also, on the same morning, we are all sitting in the car on the way to childcare and some romantic music is on air: Eternal Love (I am giving you my love, my eternal love) suddenly I felt so emotional, as I hold my baby wen wen's hand. As the song perfectly described my mood. My love for my child is indeed eternal and gentle & beautiful as the song.

On a separate note, jiajia's favorite barney water bottle broke today. But to my pleasant surprise she could say huai liao 坏了, and when I bring out a new one, she also said xin de 新的! Waw, she really can express herself now, though in short phrases. :)

2 July Wed, wen wen teacher Ms shanty said wen wen somehow picked up the pacifier by herself and popped into her mouth, then felt asleep in the afternoon. I also noticed she is able to turn over by herself now and placed her arms nicely. Wen Wen is so capable now! :)

脱发

最近两三个四星期发现头发掉的有点多，先是爸爸抱怨说地上到处都是，刚扫了地很快就有了。还有就是我洗澡的时候能顺手一把就能抹下来十好几根。想来想去， 估计原因可能是以下几个：催奶药的副作用，早上起的早睡觉不太够，工作/喂奶压力大。不过想到宝贝至少应该喂人奶到6个月吧，就再坚持坚持一下吧。

Weekend update and our new Forester

Hubby informed on 13 June morning 11:05 am that our Car no: SJF8689K. So excited! Our no is a good one, isn't it! :)

14 June is the day that we got our brand new Subaru Forester! From viewing the car and have briefings by the sales girl, to warm up and test drive, then have the rear sensor alarm volume adjusted, and lastly seeing our beloved first car, a second hand Honda City, being driven away by the dealer (I was quite emotional then), the whole process took about 2 hours (10am – 12 plus)... Bye dear Honda, welcome dear Forester!

Also attended Cai zhi's house warming on Sat: 86 Jellicoe Road #39-017 City Lights. The view from 39th floor is simply stunning. From her balcony, bedrooms and study room, we can have a panoramic view of the whole of Singapore!

Here is our family picture taken @ City Lights 39 F

近况

佳佳最近很喜欢看一些儿童卡通节目，比如米老鼠的妙妙屋大搜寻（Mickey's Clubhouse Hunt)，嘟嘟火车 （Be Smart Baby 认字CD 第一集），巴尼 （Barney the purple Dinasour）。 其痴迷程度不是一般，现在爸爸妈妈简直没有机会看一点别的节目了， 因为佳佳一会儿嚷着要看Barney (佳管它叫做Narney)， 一会儿又要嘟嘟train, 要不然就是Mickey mouse. 几天下来， 妈妈已经会唱里面所有的歌曲了 ：）

雯雯也更机灵和强壮了，换尿布的时候喜欢扭来扭去。在摇篮里躺着的时候也总喜欢把她的小毯子扯到嘴边含着。前两天，也就是6月6日，早上妈妈正在厨房里，听到雯雯在起居室里的摇篮里嗯嗯呀呀的叫，跟佳佳姐姐的声音真的很相似。 看来雯雯有可能更早开始说话了！

爸爸在星期天早上带佳佳出去吃早餐后，又带她去乘坐公共汽车玩，这可是佳佳第一次坐大汽车， 而且还是双层的。结果白天出去只要一看到汽车，她就会很兴奋的指给我们：Bus 车，Bus 车！

Wen Wen's video 雯雯的短片

雯雯最近这两天晚上睡觉前可会笑了， 尤其是看到佳佳姐姐在床上跳来跳去，她就会咯咯咯的笑个不停。真有趣。

另外， 大概是上个星期吧，大约5月12日左右，也就是雯雯接近3个半月的时候爸爸发现她会往侧面翻身了。 胖胖的身体歪歪扭扭的侧过来，十分可爱。 ：）

佳佳的过敏

佳佳的双腿在四月底开始就起了整片的红点，应该是很痒的，尤其是到了晚上。爸爸很是担心，在五一节就带她去看了家庭医生，可是搽了几天的药膏也不见好。 趁着5月6日妹妹体检时爸爸又带她看了后港综合诊疗所的医生。医生说是过敏，主要靠自身来康复。同时呢也开了过敏的口服药以及药膏。 就这样坚持搽了一个星期后，最近总算有所好转。红点已经不红了，痒还是有一点的，口服药这个星期三被佳佳不小心打破了。希望佳佳能靠自身的抵抗力早些康复！

Happy Mother's Day 母亲节的礼物

今年的母亲节是个特别的日子，因为妈妈收到了佳佳和雯雯的礼物！ 多温馨哪，才3个月的宝贝就会给妈妈做礼物了。其实呀，主要是老师的功劳。 尤其是雯雯那份- 是老师把着宝宝的小指头， 在石膏模型上按一个小窝窝，然后把模型塑造成一朵花的形状，再撒上亮闪闪的粉末，勾上花边，涂上一层亮漆，最后在背面粘上一个别针-就成了一只美丽的胸针！ 妈妈太喜欢了 ：）真的要谢谢老师。


当然佳佳的那份妈妈也喜欢，因为上面有佳佳的两只手掌印。

Wen Wen 3month checkup 雯雯3个月检查

5月6日是雯雯3个月体检的日子。测量了身高体重头围之后发现小家伙各项指标都接近超标(97% percentile). 连医生叔叔都说宝宝要注意体重了哦。3个小时吃一次奶还是可以的， 每次5盎司（接近150毫升），太频繁就不好了 ：）
身高：65.3cm
体重：8.1kg
头围：43cm

Then on the 19th baba bought another cake to celebrate her birthday at home. It is from Emicake shop, mango flavored, very nice. Jia Jia seemed like this second celebration even better! :) photos to come...

妹妹近况回顾

好久不曾来纪录了。 雯雯妹妹转眼已经1个月20天了。这一段时间也经历了不少。从妹妹回家因为鼻塞而难熬的第一夜，到后来姥姥姥爷照顾的20多个日子（包括博物馆之行），到妹妹的满月庆祝，到妈妈的高烧及回奶的痛苦，以及后来奶奶来照顾和妹妹剪了个光头。雯雯已经从开始的4公斤的婴儿长成了胖嘟嘟的7公斤的宝贝。想想看照顾一个两岁的姐姐以及新生宝贝真不是一件容易的事。做父母的确实是伟大。 看看小家伙们最近的照片吧。 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jiajiasg

特别附上几张妹妹满月时的情景。Here are some photos taken during wen wen full month celebration.
