Adelle First Christmas

Prior to Xmas

I bought a xmas bib from a BP for my princess to use it. It was a real Big bib. Look at the pic! We also brought Adelle to see Xmas lightings along Orchard Road.

Xmas eve (24th Dec)

We brought along Adelle to the Party World Karaoke to count down Xmas with Airrence's friends. :) My little princess was not very friendly that nite so she was very sticky to me. However she was still quite cooperative that nite cos she tahan until 12+am then she doze off into her la-la-land when we left the place at 12.30am. It's been a long time since we joined in any gathering after princess Adelle came into our life.

Xmas day (25th Dec)

In the morning while i was feeding Adelle milk, i noticed that her left eyelid looked a little red. By 11am, i noticed it started to swell. We went to church for service and everyone noticed that Adelle eye has swollen quite badly. It was so bad until can't see her left eye loh. Imagine her eyes are already so small and with the swell, couldn't see her left eye at all and she kept rubbing it and feeling very frustrated too.

In the evening time, we brought her to see GP (the regular clinic that we always brought her there). The botak doctor now have hair already and Adelle no longer afraid of him too! heeheehee... :P The diagnosis given by the doctor was either infection or kena mosquito bite. So he prescribed antibotic and eye cream for Adelle to use and cost us $60+ as it is public holiday. Since it was closed to her milk time, i put the medicine into the milk but she refused to drink it. Hmm.. not sure is it smelly or bitter?!?! Anyway, she simply refuse to drink the milk till 10pm, ie 4 hrs from the last feed she had and we gave up. So we change another bottle of milk with the medicine and she was drinking happily till half way. Then we thought of intercept with the medicine and hubby spray the medicine into her mouth. Within seconds, she choke and then all the milk came out from her mouth. Aiyo.... very smelly and we have to clean up the floor. Half an hour later, i have no choice but to give her another clean bottle of milk and she drank happily then off to her la-la-land.

Boxing day (26th Dec)

We were meeting our cell group friends for dinner but we were kind of hesistating whether to bring her there becos of the swell. So i asked my friends to pray for her and thank god the swell did start to subside!

The dinner was held at the Sun with Moon restaurant @ Central. The food was quite special but we find the portion quite small. It was a farewell dinner for our friend Eewan cos she is going over to Sydney to be with Yew Wee (her bf). Before dinner, Adelle and Caleb are very happy to see one another and mummy caught Caleb hugging Adelle. ;)

Post Xmas

We invited Yuan Shan & Soon Yeow + hubbies and baby Tessa to come over to our house for a simple lunch. We cooked fried beehoon, curry chicken and chicken nuggets. Adelle and Tessa had fun playing with the toys and exploring one another. :) It's interesting to see how 2 babies girl react when they see one another.

After xmas day over, it's time to unwrap all the presents that we received from our friends. This year Adelle receives

• 2 pair of shoes - 1 pair of FB shoe from my sis and another pair of Nike from my sis-in-law.
• 1 Hello Kitty bag from Uncle Chee Wee and Aunty Julia
• Doodle Pro from Uncle RenHui & Aunty Meiying
• Mini mouse from France Disneyland given by Uncle Jonathan, Aunty Cherling & Caleb
• A doogie phone from Aunty Yuan Shan and Uncle Yong Chee
• Animal zippy mat from Daddy and Mummy

Thanks for the presents! :)

Here is a pic of baby Adelle trying to read the book that Janice & Gideon bought for us. :P

Baby #2 - 4th Check up on 20th Dec 2008

Everytime at the clinic while waiting for our turn, all the mummies-to-be and daddys-to-be are always entertained by Adelle funny actions. Cos in order to make Adelle cooperate to sit in her stroller in the small little clinic, we have to get her "busy" ie ask her to do this action and do that action. So at the same time entertain other patients loh... :P

Anyway my check up is very fast these days cos Dr Adrian will ask me "how are u?" and my standard answer is "So far ok". Then i proceed to the ultrascan machine to check bb progress. Since this is the 2nd time pregnancy so no more FAQ that i want to ask him and thank god so far it has been a smooth pregnancy. :)


BB#2 is now 7.43cm at wk 14 and has grown double since the last checkup. This time round, the measurement seemed to be longer than Adelle jie jie (Adelle is 14 wk old measuring 7.3cm ). As bb#2 is still relatively small so gynae say can't see the gender yet and asked us to come back in a month's time to check again....

2nd Wedding Anniversary - 16th Dec 2008

It was our 2nd yr wedding anniversary and i took leave that day cos need to clear annual leave also. In the afternoon, I went down to Bugis to collect the anniversary present for hubby and myself which is a customised photo keychain. As i can't made up my mind to go for the square or heart shape keychain so decided to buy 1 of each type and let hubby choose.

On the same day, Adelle turned 11mths too cos she was borned on the 16th too... ;) We went for dinner at Astons Prime as hubby came back around 8pm and he didn't make any reservation. :( Since my colleague was telling me that Aston Prime steak very nice so i told hubby let's go and try bah.

Well, Astons Prime is a fine dinning restaurant as compared to it's subsidaries Astons Express and Aston Specialities. No queue at all and the price is double or triple but the service is quite good! They even gave Adelle bread in plastic container with plastic fork and spoon. So that was Adelle dinner for that nite while we ordered steak and pasta cos we are really hungry. I love the meatball pasta and mushroom soup. As for the steak, i requested for medium well but i still see blood wor.. So requested the staff to bring in twice to make it well cooked. Overall, we find the steak so-so only leh cos hubby find it tough for his Ribeye while i find it too bloody for mine though both of us ordered medium well. Anyway i don't think i will go back for the steak again.

After dinner, we went to Bugis cos hubby didn't managed to buy flowers before coming over to fetch us. :( As it was already 10pm, all the florist shop were closed so no flower that nite. So sad... But the next day when we reached home, i saw a bouquet of red roses on the bed. :)

Princess is 11 months old on 16th Dec

Another 1 month to go and Adelle will be officially 1 year old! We have decided to hold the birthday party on 4th Jan 09 ie her 1st lunar birthday cos 16th Jan is a friday and we think quite a lot of friends and family cannot turn up.... so it's better to do it early... :)

Looking back the same time last year, we are still celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary and awaiting for this little baby to join us. This year is our 2nd wedding anniversary and here we are busy with this little "monster".... Yes, she is a "monster" disguise as angel infront of strangers... hehehee.... Sometimes really angry with her for wasting $ and not drinking her milk, throw her tantrums n doing somersauts to irritate me when i was busy working on laptop... But sometime find her really cute with her funny actions and fake smile... yes, she know how to do fake smile.... ;)

The milestones @ 11mths are :

1. When i say "hair", Adelle will use her hand to touch her hair

2. As Adelle birthday is getting near, i always rehearsal the happy birthday song with her and she will end it off with clapping hands! :)

3. When i say "hello hello", Adelle will put her hand on her ear to show that she is listening.

4. She know how to use the toy handphone and put close to her ear pretending she is listening

5. She likes the song incy wincy spider and will do the "washing" action that she learnt from the Baby can read VCD.

6. When i say "梳美美", she will take her comb and trying to comb her hair.

7. We discover Adelle has 2 big teeth and 2 growing teeth on the top gum and that makes it total of 5 teeth now.

8. Adelle know how to pick up her mag mag cup and drink from the straw after she had her porridge.

9. When the pacifier drop on the floor, Adelle will pick it up and put it back into her mouth but upside down.

Chee Wee & Julia Wedding - 6th Dec 2008

Chee Wee & Julia are our cell group friends and their wedding was held at Hotel InterContinental. Big and beautiful ballroom and of cos not forgetting the beautiful bride and handsome groom! :)

That day, I attempted to let Adelle wear a white hairband but she simply dislikes it and kept pulling it off. Haiz... but those who saw her with the hairband say she looked nice wor.. hehehe... :P


We were glad that Jonathan, Cher Ling and Caleb sat in the same table as us. Cos Adelle likes to play with her friend Caleb and also Jonathan helped us to entertain Adelle while we grab some food to eat. :)

Hereby wishing Chee Wee and Julia a very blessed marriage and be fruitful and multiply many small ones to join Caleb and Adelle soon! :P
