Bath Time then (0-2mo) and now (7mo)...

Every weekend, I am looking forward to bath Annabelle and let her have some fun playing with the water. Annabelle has her favourite bath toy, baby duck (in fact, ducks...).

I recalled that 7 months ago, I was so scare to even bath her. I used to wonder how to hold her, how to wash her hair and many how to...  Thank God for He has sent a nice pathi (grandma) to help to bath Annabelle during the 2 months of confinement. Pathi is really experience in bathing children and I had learnt a lot from her. Pathi also very concern for Annabelle, today though she does not bath Annabelle anymore she will call to the house and check on Annabelle's being. She is such as nice lady and may God always bless her in many ways.

(As you probably not aware on how Indian way of bath baby, I had some photos that we snap during the bath time then and this now serve a good memory for me.)





Today, my Annabelle girl has grown so much. She could sit and play water in the bath tub during her bath time. She knows how to tap waters and how to pick up the baby duck and of course put into her mouth... :). She will cry when I say: "OK, enough... let's get up and get dressed!"...


"Annabelle girl, mummy and papa promise you that we will give you some fun in the water. We plan to get a baby pool for you and plan to bring you to Sungai Klah Hot Spring to let you enjoy the water."


You be a good girl and wait for the time, ok!

Annabelle's Favourite Cartoon Character

Every child grew up with their favourite cartoon character. It ranges from Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Sponge Bob, Dora the Explorer and the list goes on and on... Ask me what is Annaabelle's favourite cartoon character.. Take a look at the video to know it for yourself.




She will dance and move to it when she see the character appears. She will laugh and smile at it when she see her... presenting to you Paw Pilot from Special Agent OSO...

So fun and nice to see my Annabelle girl enjoying herself... :) ....

First Taste of Avocado

Avocado from Tesco Klang, RM4.99/pc (sebiji)
Anything for Annabelle

I bought an avocado 1.5 weeks ago to feed Annabelle over the weekend. I had heard a lot about it and in actual fact, this is a type of fruit that I least tasted myself. Why??!! Probably of its price which is slightly higher than other type of fruit and it is not common to see it in the pasar/ pasar malam.

So, what was the end result of the new taste? Result: +ve!!!She likes it! This is what I can conclude.

As you can see in the video, she likes it so much that she tends to move her body back and fro and give me the signal that she enjoyed it. I enjoyed seeing her loving the food/fruit I served her. Great feeling as a mummy!

Update on Annabelle's "Good Girl" & "Naughty Girl" Book

Still remember the "Good Girl" & "Naughty Girl" Book" post?

I guess it is time to give you some update on the book. Since the day I made the post, I got Annabelle the book and it is always in my handbeg; I will do the update at least once a week as I noticed that if I do not do that, I will lost track of it.

If you asked me how many good girl/ naughty girl count she has, the answer is:
19 Good girl and 2 Naughty girl

Haha...Isn't it a good result?

Recently I read a magazine (Section: Parenting Fun), the person has given me an insight or new idea to what I am doing for Annabelle. The person has suggested for mummies to give "STAR" to their children when they have done something right or good. She even suggested that the STARS can be converted into present when your child collected enough of it.

So, I have an idea now. I have discussed with Ivan that we will make that for Annabelle. We have said that for every 5 good girl she earns, she will get a STAR. With every 5 STARS she will get a present. Hahaha.... funny??!!! I am not sure if this is too straight with this system, but I am definately going to motivate her to get the star from now on. :)

(PS: From calculation, she has 19 good girl = 3 ++ stars , Annabelle needs another 6 good girl for a present...) I am excited for her... :> :)

Front cover of her good girl book, isn't it the bear look good girl too?

Simple simple things she did can be a good girl too :)

Further to my writing, I have included date too for more memory

Milestone: Learning how to stand


On the exact day of her 7 months, Annabelle showed off to me that she could stand by herself holding onto an object. That morning, came back home after church; she was playing at the playmat while I was in the kitchen. Suddenly, I noticed that there were no noise/ sound outside at the hall. I dashed from the kitchen and all I see is she stood up near the sofa chair and holding onto the seat by herself. If Annabelle knows how to talk, she will say: "I am standing... standing..." She gave me a big smile when she noticed that I was watching her and slowly she sat down on.

Annabelle achieved another milestone achieved.... :)

A night to remember

To remember this day 29 Feb 2012 because it is leap year? Perhaps it is a good day to remember as this day come once in every 4 years.

I would like to post as it is worth my time to capture this feeling that I had for yesterday night.

Annabelle is still waking up every night for her night feedings. It is normally about 2-3 times depends on how much she drink every time she is awake. To tell you the truth, it is very tiring to do that and I normally literally dive into my bed the moment I am done with her feeding and put her back into the playpen.

But... yesterday night is different, probably I slept early and I was already quite alert at 3am. After her fed, she was sleeping soundly. I put pacifier into her mouth, let her hold her napkin; I was still holding her in my arm, sit back on my bed, smell her, kiss her and looking at her. I think it was about 10 minutes before I decided to put her back to her play pen. I then, slept for awhile before the alarm wakes me up again.

This feeling is so good and contented.... :)
