Adelle church friend's Rebecca

Every saturday, we will go to church & will get to see Adelle's church friend - Rebecca in the nursery room. She is 3 weeks older than Adelle, born on 23rd Dec 07 and both of them belong to the "big" category. For the past 2 wks, Rebecca had not been to church and later we get to know that she was sick but has recovered now! Rebecca mummy also told us that she is now 8kg...wow wow!! :)

Last sat, Rebecca and Adelle has started to notice one another and attempt to touch each other hands. Rebecca head is very stable now and can lift up for >20 mins (See pic). While my darling is trying to perform "stunt" of flipping infront of us and trying to imitate Rebecca but I din take pic.... ;p

Hope Adelle and Rebecca friendship will continue to grow as they "graduate" from nursery and then to sunday school, etc etc... :D

Hot Weather

Lately the weather has been extremely hot and my darling was melting away....

Our New House @ Kallang - Carpentry is UP!

This is an overdue post cos we've been busy QC-ing the carpentry work. The first time we saw was a mixed feeling. Excited but disappointed too cos some of the measurements and final product looks a bit off.

1. The carpenter kay kiang did extra drawers with blum system for the tall kitchen unit. So i told hubby if they want us to pay $$, pls get them to remove it and make sure no holes in the drawers. In the end, the carpenter have to lugi and absorb the cost for being kay kiang.

2. The tempered glass shelf cover on the left was very small piece so we make some noise! Then Steven told us that he will do another tempered glass shelf cover for the right side of cabinet for us. Hehee... :p

3. The next shock was the MBR low height bench cum storage is so small & cost us $1500... sigh.... bo hua... :

4. Another shock was the feature wall mirror was kinda small to our expectation. Cos i tot i will have a mirror from head to hip level but no loh.... :(

Anyway, my greatest satifaction of that day is the Rubine sink that fits perfectly well! :p

Princess is 4 months old on 16th May

My princess is 4 months old!

It's getting more and more fun each day with princess adelle cos she knows how to 'talk' and play now. Looking back at the initial 2 months was kinda tough cos trying to figure our what she want whether it is milk, poo or sleep? Really thank god that she is a good baby cos without much effort over at our end, she sleeps throughout the nite eversince then. Lately she has also established a daily routine that she will have her last feed of warm milk at 10+pm and then off to her dreamland till 7am. When we woke up @ 7am, we'll see her smiling at us!! What a joy. :)

So what happened over the last 1 mth?

1. Princes learn & love to grab things! She loves to pull her hanging toys on the car seat cum rocker.

2. Princess learns to hug her "friend" - Mr Elephant.

3. Princess loves to "talk" and it happens every evening on the way home from my parents' house. I guess probably she is trying to tell us what happen in the day time with my mum and dad?? :p

4. Princess know how to tickle mummy!! Yes, this is quite amazing for me cos she did it on Mother day. :)

5. Princess discover her hands exist now and she will cross her hands like as if she is praying. Hmm maybe can start to teach her to pray?!?! :p

6. Princess finally able to lift up her head during tummy time.

7. Princess able to sit upright with some support.

8. Princess appetite drop to 2-3oz per feed weeks before and after the injection. Not sure is it becos of the EBM and partial FM so she mood swing... Anyway now she's on full FM, since then we see that she has started to pick up her intake and now she is back on 6oz for 4 hrs feed.

9. Lastly, Princess sleeps from 10pm now. Hope she will maintain like this when she grows up.

This is a picture of her playing with pacifier and ended up sucking her hand instead.

Baby Adelle new toy

Throughout the last 3+ months, my little princess only have with Mr Elephant & Mr Lion to entertain her in the car seat cum rocker. And lately she noticed their existence and started to grab them with her little hands. ;)

In my previous posting on my biz trip, I mentioned that i wanted to buy baby adelle the Leapfrog baby counting pals. Finally after 2-3 weeks of waiting, i received the toy from my colleague. :) My colleague told me that it is a gift for baby adelle as she refuse to take my $ despite several attempts to pay her back. *Thanks HB*

The minute i show baby adelle the new toy, she was very excited!! She simply loves it and was listening to the various functions of 1-2-3-4-5 and especially the muscial medley which i also loves it too! I left the baby counting pals @ my parents' house so that my mum and aunty can entertain her with this new toy. At the same time, start to introduce her 1-2-3-4-5 which my mum has no prob of speaking simple english in 1-2-3-4-5. :D

Since then, every morning when i reach my parents' house, baby adelle don't cry already. Erm... did i mentioned that she recognise places and people now?? This started few wks back whenever we are @ the door step of my parents' house, she will start to sob and then break into loud cry. Dunno why she now selectively let people carry her otherwise she will just scream out loud! Baby adelle even reject my sis and niece who used to carry her every week before she turns 3 mths... haiz...

Nowadays when i reach mum's place i will bring her into the room and start the musical medley for her to listen and spend 5 min with her. Then she will guai guai lie on the bed and play with the new toy. :) After that, i slowly disappear from her..... Thumbs up for this baby counting pals! It can also be carry around and attached to pram and baby cot or anything that handle. See below pics.

Princess Adelle Hands & Foot print

Finally after 1 mth of waiting, i received phone call that the hand & foot print frame is ready for collection! :) Now have to think where to hang it in the new house....

Tummy time! Part 2

We always wonder is it becos our princess is kinda chubby so she can't lift up her head during tummy time?!?!

Thank God after several attempts to "train" her, we see results! Yes, she can now lift up her head for few minutes and then she will pretend tired and start sucking her fingers.... ;)

Our New House @ Kallang - My MBR basin & Lights installed

We have been comtemplating whether to do a vanity top for the MBR toilet and after spending 1-2 week to check out the prices and types of basins out in the market, we decided to buy ONE!! A Rectangular Countertop Ceramic Basin. :D

A few place that we have shortlisted are Royal Fanco (for Baron & Cristol basin ~ $110 - 120), Eng Soon Huat (Cristol basin ~ $120), Poh Joo (No brand - $95) and lastly Genova (various design and brand). Poor baby adelle has been hanging out every weekend @ such places so must be boring for her. ;p

Anyway, we bought from Genova cos initially the boss quoted us $120 for baron basin and on our return trip again, one of the staff quoted us $80 for the same item! Cheap cheap so MUST buy ah... hehehe... it's identical to the one that Royal Fanco is selling but $35 cheaper leh! :p

All our lights except the MBR are installed. Will update again once MBR lights are up. [Pic left to right : Living room - L box, Kitchen, Dinning, Adelle's room, Study room, Toilet]
