My love!

Was in a exceptionally good mood as my mummy came over to my place today. My girl love her and I do feel so much more relax and able to take a breather when my mummy is here.

This little girl is sure a little grumpy pants at times. She do make us happy and also mad. ^^

This little vain pot bring herself super upright when she saw me snapping pictures of her.
My happy mummy with Joelle.
A not so successful shot with the three of them looking in all different direction. ^^ As you know its real challenging to get a young baby to look in the camera. She loves to do the opposite of what I told her. Hiaz….
One thing she love a lot is paper. All sort of paper… So Javier love to stuff paper for her to chew secretly. When I knew about it and tried to snatch the paper from her, she will burst into tears and show me her unhappiness.
Love these pictures of the 3 kiddos.
Things are definitely getting between Javier and Joelle. Javier is slowly better in accepting his small sister and doesn’t “bully” her as often now.

Her snake soft toy which she love to hug and chew when she is free which is rather often since she is free most of the time ^^.

I have started her on Solid since last week. She seems to take it well and would readily open her mouth when I feed her. So far I have let her tried rice cereal, apple and avocado. Seems that her least favorite amount the lot is apple (hmmm… I thought all babies love apples? at least my 2 boys love apples when they were babies and still love apples now).

My messy chub after her cereal.

It was really an awesome day which I got to eat the delicious meal cooked by my mum instead of eating the plain, same dishes cooked by myself. I feel great chit chatting with her too.

Obsessed with my little chub

Once upon a time, I used to love snapping pictures of my boys when they were younger too, but now it is rather frustrating to get them to stay still long enough for me to take pictures of them. Most of the time, they give me ultra funny smile or weird expression which would be better off not to smile lo! Ahaha…

Thus you can imagine my best model for now is this little chub whom I can style whatever and however I like with no disagreement from her. Although she isn’t cooperative in my “smile” request, but she has many cute cute expression which is nice also lah. ^^ So day in and day out, I love snapping pictures of her until Daddy asked me, “Is she your model?” which I answered, “sort of !!!!” ^__^ Of course need to take as many pictures as possible now as she grow up real fast.

In a mere 4 months, her look change so much. 

I really treasured the time and enjoyed myself so much when I’m with her.

I remembered this was not the case with the boys when they were younger. They give me nightmare almost daily, crying for no reason, carry them also carry until so “kelian”, drink milk also “war time”, eat solids also “battle time”and my oldest boy was the worst, every morning when Daddy goes to work, he will cry until the roof drop down kind. Thus I got to told Daddy to be as quiet as possible and do not wake him up. So he gotta tipped toe out and and keep absolutely quiet. I feel stressed alone with him until I gotta frequently (so frequent is like 3x a week) bring him to my brother’s place where my mummy live and Daddy will come fetch us in the evening. I feel so bad to disturb my brother’s family and mummy at that time, cos I reached their place in the wee hours like before 7am when all of them have not even wake up.

And not only that, he loves to go grandma house and doesn’t want to come home whenever we were there (this doesn’t’ want to go home phase only ends when he is about 3 years old). When I drag him home, he cried until it sounds like I am slaughtering him. All these memories are things that I wouldn’t want to remember but just can’t be erase off lo, cos it is too clearly in my mind. Hiazzz…. so I am glad that all these are over…..

For this little chub, she is such a sweetie as compared to them. I seems like the world to her, she will keep looking or peeping at me when others carried her. She will stretched her hands and wants me to carry when I go near her, irregardless who carries her. She will stop crying whenever I carried her. ^^ Of course she do have her tantrum lo but still bearable to me.

Top: Fox Baby
Leggings: Gymboree
Headband: DIY

This is Joelle playing with her rocker’s hanging toys.

Tummy time which she hate so much. She is still unable to roll from tummy to back yet, thus she will scream for me to help her when she gets too tired from tummy time.


Nom-ing my hand is much more important than take pictures. ^^

One of the funny expression. ^__^

One of my love picture for today shots.

I bought teething biscuits for her to try and she is trying to stuff it inside her mouth or licking it for about 5 mins. So that’s all for today!

My baby is 5 months old!!! ^^

Happy 5 months old, sweetie!!! Since the moment she enter my life, its never the same for me anymore. Love for her grew day by day…. She bring joy and laughter to us.

She is a sweet girl who loves to smile at people. When we bring her outside, stranger love to play and talk to her and she would flash her sweetest smile and sometime chuckle to them!!!

Weight: The last time she was weighed was a month ago and she weighed 6.8kg.

Height: The last time she measured her height was a month ago was 65cm.

Health: She do have slight eczema around her neck area which the PD prescribe a lotion for us to apply for her daily but other other than that she has been healthy.

Sleep: She co-sleep with me since the first day she came back home. I have tried to let her sleep in the baby cot but it just dthan that she has been healthy. id not work out as she would be crying on and off. She sleep well beside me, and well, it also make breastfeeding her in the night easier for us. ^^

When she wakes up in the morning, she will roll over and tried to wriggle to my side and use her tiny fist to hit my back. And of course, this action will wake me up immediately, and the first thing she did when she see me looking at her is flashing me her big wide smile. There is nothing more happy than waking up to this cutie’s smile. ^^

Social: She just loves to look around at what's happening around her. As mention earlier, she is not in “stranger danger” phrase yet, she smiles at strangers when they smile at her and talk to her. She is perfectly ok when my neighbors carried her.

Diet: She is exclusively breastfeed, thus I am also not too sure how much she consume, its just feed on demand! ^^

Clothes: Joelle  is wearing 6-12 for Babygap, 6 months for carters and Old Navy.

Crying: Mostly she cry because she wants me to carry, sometimes its because she is over-tired and wants to sleep.  She tend to be more fussy at night and prefer me to Daddy. And sad to say, daddy always have to deal with her fussiness when I go shower and do some chores after our dinner.


Her irritating look during tummy time. Ahaha….

Milestones: Joelle is babbling a lot, smiling a lot and we've gotten a few belly smiles out of her too. She can hold and grab things well and stuff into her mouth accurately too. She can roll over from back to tummy and would start screaming for us when she cannot turn back. She still hates tummy time.She enjoy the daily flashcard activities and would try to grab the cards to feed her hungry mouth as usual. ^^

Overall she is a curious baby who love to hear people talk and observe her surroundings. She is getting much more mischievous now and would do funny act to make us laugh. We really love her so much!!!!!

In general, I feel pretty good about our routine now. Some days I'm so busy that my days zoom by so fast and I do feel pretty bad I spend much lesser time with my boys now.
