I don't wanna FREN you!

Chia is very unfriendly when it comes to strangers or people she is not familiar with. Even with Ah Po and Ah Kong who she sees every weekend, she has never smiled or called them when she first arrives their house. She would stick to mami and papa only. Not sure if I should count this a blessing as there are so many criminal incidents involving young kids nowadays. This is a common emotion-less look and mami shall capture this in your blog to show you when you've grown. :)

My Princess turns "2" on 23rd May 2011!

1st Pool Fun ^_^

In the first 10 minutes, she screams and cries like mad. She doesn’t seem to like water. We coaxed her into the pool with lots of toys but that didn’t work as well. In the end mimi had to carry this little princess into the pool together. And there she is - enjoying the splash for the next 20 minutes!

E-Chia is a BIG GIRL now

It's been quite some time since mimi last uploaded your pictures here. Mimi just reliased how quick you've grown.. from a tiny little baby to a "big" girl now. Your hair has started to grow longer (hehe finally), you can walk a couple of steps without support, you take your own bottle (opps just the water bottle but not the milk bottle; mimi wonders why..), you've got gigi (even that's just the two bottom ones) and you start to communicate!

.

Mimi hears lots of complaints about you every day especially when mimi is at home. Everyone that has taken care of you before agrees that you are naughtier when papa and mimi is around. Guess you're already smart enough to recognize people now and hence often show "pityful" or "wanting-to-be-carried" face when we're around. You will throw a little tantrum when your request is not granted. But then again, we're also the luckiest people to be able to see your enchanted smiles most of the times.

.

Chia no matter how big you've grown, you are still mimi's little BABY.. forever!

Stop taking my photos!!

.

Mimi.. stop taking my photo.. you haven't dressed me up ma..

I dont wanna smile smile

I show you my tongue instead... Blek!

The Growing Years

Chia Chia is very cheeky these days. She likes to make "ugly" faces, pull her dresses, wave bye-bye and laugh without reasons. Spending time with her always brightens up my day. However she's too pampered by papa sometimes and hence become naughty. Papa plays with her a lot with all kinds of toys and even carries her up-side-down...
.
I must admit that babies nowadays are very smart. They know how to grab attention especially with their parents. Take my girl as an example: she could be playing happily in the playpen one second ago without making noise; but the moment she sees her papa or me passing by - she would be so "olo" (manja) and cry non-stop so we would carry her eventually.
.
Well, we are still waiting for Chia Chia to utter her first word. Watching you grow is such a pleasant experience, Chia; and we'll be with you for sure to witness every milestone along the way!

Ribbon Girl @ 41 weeks

My QQ (this is the name I call you in front of papa) is 41 weeks old now. I always have the impression that you are 9+ months by looking at the calendar month. Well, you’ve been the joy of my life for many days, many many hours, many many many minutes and many many many many seconds... Thank you my sweetie for making mimi’s life more interesting than before.
.

Watching you laugh is the thing I look forward most when I return home (from working). Carrying you immediately chases away all the woes and worries. Playing with you marks the happiest moment of all. And papa once told mimi the same too. We are simply amused and contented by just looking at you...

.
Together, we’ll build lots of lots of BEAUTIFUL memories. This, we promise you.

By the beach ~ Chia & mimi enjoying the refreshing sea breeze...

Dumb Dumb Face @ CNY 2010

Chiachia spent her first Chinese New Year in 2010; in malacca. She has been to ah po's and ah kong's house (my in law's place) for numerous times. However, she takes an hour or so to get used to the environment everytime we're there. Though she showed confused, bored and dummy face when this picture's taken, it's actually the other way round at the scene. She's like a little princess, where everyone takes turn to carry her and play with her. She's the first child from my hubby's family and extended families as all my cousins are not married yet.

.

This makes ah ma (my mami) complaint a lot when she returns to Kinrara because she's become naughty after being pampared much for a week. Well, you better behave girl... because ah ma is ever ready with her rotan! Hehehehe...

Drooooling @ 33 weeks

My girl looks "comot" with saliva most of the time at 8 months. And whatever things she reaches, she'll put them into her mouth. That's like babies' standard operating procedure from what I notice. We try to give teether so it's better and safer for teeth development but it seems she likes to bite things made of harder material. Also, I always laugh at her for having no gigi yet (not even the sign) after the 8th-month. :D

Walker Experience

There's one way to make her quiet without having to worry she'll fall or knock herself on hard surface. Yeah... WALKER comes in handy recently. We started putting her in the walker since the past couple of weeks and she liked it. She'll roll here and there if we place her in the lighter walker and she'll stand still if we place her in the heavier ones. Cherish your walker moment girl... or rather keep this picture for memory because you will not have these pictures later when you can walk by yourself! Papa and mimi are looking forward.....

Playful @ 30 weeks

You laugh a lot nowadays and always show us your cheeky face. Papa and mimi couldn't bear to scold you much even if you're naughty.. like when you don't finish your milk, moving here and there when we're trying to dress you up etc. Every expression that you show moves and touches our hearts from within. Time flies and you're 7.5 months now. Way to go girl... and we hope you stay cheery and HAPPY at all times.

Zzz Sleeping vs Awake :O)

WHEN SHE'S SLEEPING...


Look at this baby.. aiyo dont look like a "lady" at all. If your future boyfriend sees this, mimi's sure he'll run away!! Hee.. this is to show you how you sleep most of the time. You'll turn here and there; kick away your blanket; and squeeze to one corner in the playpen sometimes. Still, mimi cannot bear to wake you up or re"position" you seeing how peacefully you Zzzz. Perhaps you're meeting your prince charming in the wonderful dreamland...


WHEN SHE'S AWAKE...

This is the playful side of you when you're awake. You like to turn yourself to a crawling position and look at things. You'll laugh when papa makes funny faces/sounds and when mimi sings song. We feel so moved and contented everytime you smile. It's like a medicine when we're sick and a booster when we're weak. You never failed to brighten our days... Baby you're the greatest GIFT to us thus far!

Single Eyelid @ 21 weeks

Hey my baby.... you are having single eyelids! Hmm... doesn't look like papa or mimi wor... Well some people said the eyelids will change (from single to double; or from double to single; or maintain) when babies get bigger. Oh a little secret to reveal here.. When mimi was small, I was wondering why lou dao and mami (your gong gong and ah ma) are both having double eyelids but sis (your yee yee) has somehow not very big eyes. You know what.. one fine day your ah ma finally told us that she went for a small surgery to fix her eyelids (to become double) during her teenage days. Haha so that proves in fact we have "single" gene history in our family tree too!

Chia's First Trip back HOME

On 17 Oct, we brought E-Chia back home for the first time. Oh I am referring to our own house at Kota Kemuning. I spent the whole pregnancy here so I guess she would be familiar with our cozy little cottage. And yet, hubby and I still prepared a small "surprise" a day before to welcome our princess. There you go... BALLOONS.. lots of them! Well, we're afraid the balloon would burst so just took few pictures and quickly carried her away. :)

.

She cried non-stop on the first day before sleep. Poor baby.. must be missing her usual bb cot and "bao bao" (small pillow, which she always hugs at her grandparents' place). Luckily she managed to sleep later with her papa patting and consoling her. She got better and behaved well the next day, thank god. Looks like we need to bring her here more frequently in the future!

My 1st Reading Experience

“ABCDEFG... HIJKLMNOP.. QRS..TUV..WXYZ...”.. Yay finally I can read.. hehe “pretend” to be reading actually. On this very blissful morning, mimi gives me the soft cloth book to play with. The colourful book caught my attention the moment I saw it. I didnt know how to flip the pages, (not many though) so mimi helped me and read me the caterpillar story. But I’ve been very cooperative too! I hold the book nicely as requested so mimi can take a couple of shots to post online.

Sweetie @ 12 weeks

Coming to the third month, you are starting to SMILE a lot... It's such an enjoyment looking at you at all times. Mimi will start working soon so cant spend much time playing with you already, my love. But mimi will not neglect you and will definitely continue to witness each milestone you achieve in your growing years. Be strong, be happy and be ready to face the challenges!! Papa and Mimi will support you all the way...

Xiao ketot

"Xiao KETOT" is the nick Papa always call you.. just because you're 0.5cm shorter than Shyuan Shyuan Meimei when born. Well, that makes you the shortest among four kids.. (three from my sis)
.
"Papa dont laugh at me ma... next day I'll become a supermodel! Huh!"

PinkPink @ 8 weeks

Hehe... I'm in my favourite PINK outfit. Pity me always wear Koko's bajus and most of them are in blue colour! Can you see how happy and joyful I am this sunny afternoon.

"Yee Yee I'm wearing PINK.. I'm wearing PINK!! Hehehehe... Hehehehehehe"
