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

Happy 2nd Birthday Jia Jia

19th April is jia jia's second birthday. Mama bought a 2kg cake and went to her childcare centre to celebrate for her on Friday, 18th . Everyone there shared the joy with us. 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.

Mei mei is born

妹妹终于出世了！2月1日下午4点7分。 体重4。055公斤，身长52厘米，头围37厘米。医生说她是一个 juicy baby :)

Waiting for meimei to arrive 安心待产

转眼之间, 我的父母已经来了两个多星期了。 1月28日是预产期，可是妹妹还没有动静。也好，这样一来妈妈可以选个日之去医院待产，想当年，佳佳也是足月+5天才出来的：）

再说说佳佳， 自从我的父母，也就是佳佳的姥姥姥爷来了之后，佳佳又长了不少，胆量方面，说话方面。父母每天晚饭过后都会出去散散步，有时也会带上佳佳。一般都是1，2两小时呢。他们会走去榜鹅公园，绕着湖慢慢走两圈，那里晚风习习， 非常凉快， 还有不少人在锻炼呢。佳佳看到什么都很新奇，还会学着人家蹲马步，打太极。姥姥姥爷也接替了爸爸每天接送佳佳的任务，这样一来，她也有机会多走走，看看周围的人情风物。 日子长了，在家中也变得更加活跃，嘴巴也更愿意咿咿呀呀，嘟嘟囔囔的讲话了。

上上个周末，一起去了一趟植物园。部分照片有待上载。。。

佳佳的外公外婆来了

佳佳的外公外婆上个星期四晚上从成都飞过来了！
这下妈妈可以安心的待产了。预产期还有两个星期，真好可以给他们时间熟悉一下这里的环境，也可以跟佳佳建立感情 ：） 爸爸妈妈晚上下班也就有人在家里做饭吃了。

Jia Jia's Christmas Gift 佳佳的圣诞礼物

佳佳的第一份圣诞礼物！其实是爸爸妈妈准备的。幼儿园建议父母给自己的孩子准备一份礼物以便在庆祝时打开，给自己的孩子一个惊喜。爸妈使劲动了一番脑筋，最后决定给佳佳一个有很多小格子的储物盒， 然后在里面放上好吃的，好玩的，这样佳佳有的吃又有的玩，还可以在小格子里放上她喜欢玩弄的小玩意，如手链，项链等。看，妈妈包裹的礼物盒还挺漂亮吧，最后爸爸大笔一挥题词：To our dearest Jia Jia, Merry Christmas! From Mummy & Daddy.

with Qi Qi 跟妈妈好友的女儿合照

Mid-december weekend, mummy's good friend Chang came to visit, brought along her fair and pretty baby girl Qi Qi. See the two girls taking pictures together! pardon jiajia as she just woke up.... 妈妈的好友畅听说妈妈住院了，刚从日本旅行回来就赶忙趁着周末跑来探望。照片上的就是她长的粉白可爱的小女琦琦。佳佳的状态倒是不佳。。。刚刚被叫醒 ：）
