Big GSS sale...

Today is shopping day for us again. Headed to Centerpoint and spent close to $100...

I bought 2 bottles of 260ml Avent for rie. Good buy. $17.20 less 20% and then when the bill comes, another 5% rebate off.

I couldnt decide if I should get the largest bottle at 330ml at $12.41 before 20% off. Then I decided not to, as I'm not sure if rie can hold the bottle or not, if fully filled up with water at this age lor. Besides, she dont drink that much either...So dropped the idea.

Hubby bought another polo tee and business shirt.

I bought rie a dora munchkin water bottle. Last night, she saw Jadyne drinking from it and wanted it as well. Hence, bought for her lah, since got 20% off also...

Saw many kids around and rie had fun playing with all the toys...I'm suffering from terrible backaches, coz I had to squat next to her, chase after her and kept putting all the toys back for her...tsk tsk...

If I should ever have a boy, I would never keep a tail for him. You know some youngster parents with boys, keep this little tail for them? It is so awful to my liking lor. Boys should be boys what, why keep that tail for? Nice meh? Sorry if I have offended anyone here who have boys with the pigtail. Big NO for me.

Tomorrow's rie's gonna be 15 months liao..how fast right? hee hee. This Friday would be my check up and Sat, is riesia's time with her barney.....I really hope she can see from where we are seated...

Had wanted to bring rie to the bird park tomorrow, but seems like the weather abit xiao xiao recently...so maybe postpone lor...

I met my poly friend Junye at centerpoint today as well. What a coincidence. He still looks the same, in HR line now...didnt have much chance to chat with him...

Big achievement for Rie today...She has finally taken a liking back to her milk and without any delrosa!!! hurray...We tried giving her milk at my parents place, she drank. Then just now before she slept, i gave her another 140ml without delrosa, she finished the whole bottle. Way to go girl!!! And I can see her putting on weight...Today she woke up at 1230pm and didnt have any naps. went to bed at 1030pm, KO straight away.....dead tired..can hear her snoring...

Scary night..

Last night after showering for rie in the MBR, we came out and a creepy moth greeted us!!

It was sooo scary leh, as you know lah I'm scared of flying insects...So i started using the bath towel to try to chase it out of the house..Rie was quite scared, but was so KPO in knowing what I was doing...All the while, she kept mumbling " ka-ka"..

Then I told rie to head out to the living room as I decided to use baygon to spray it...Rie ran to the sofa, stood there. ahhhh, then later she came closer to see what I was doing again. I sprayed and it flew..then it disappeared!!!

And I later found it being trapped in the ceiling light...Oooooo...Felt so bad that it was being trapped and i cant do anything..sorry there...

Talking about formulas....rie is finally taking to forumla and has nearly finished that tin of enfa grow..Hurray!!! But of course, I still have to mix alittle of delrosa. But I'm already reducing the syrup and increasing the milk powder and she still drinks...

But har, I have to dilute the milk lor, ie, say I give 120ml of milk powder, I have to mix it with say 150-180ml of water. I'm trying, slowly okay..otherwise I scare she will just reject everything...

What a dream!!!

Last night I dreamt that my bb was a boy. I even sms-ed someone whom I cannot recall now "It's a boy." gee...

then i remembered chatting via msn with Jan, and asked if she has delivered. She said yes and I asked how are the girls doing. See!! I think I've been chatting on msn too much till I'm even dreaming of msn-ing!!! tsk tsk...

red spots equals???

I discovered 5 red spots on rie's face...yesterday morning.

3 on her temple, 1 on her eyelid, 1 on her forehead. I dont know what happened, but it seems like it may be caused by the jab she took on Sat...

There wasnt any blisters, no bumps, just red spots..Then today I checked again, seems like starting to swell alittle, but still not very obvious..I really wonder what they are..

On the whole, she is still the same, active, playful, cheerful...let's just hope it will go away...

Pain pain....

This morning, rie woke up at 7am and I was sooooo tired. I pretended to sleep to watch what she would be doing..It's really funny to watch her play by herself with barney and her pussy cat...She would pretend to be talking, hold up barney high, laugh and giggle. At times, she would go "woooo". She spotted her ball and brought it to her bed and started to kick it.

once she got bored, she would then attempt to wake me up by slapping me on the face, pulling my blanket and making noises...I gave up lor, wake up at 730am and hubby said might as well bring her to Dr Tan for her jab.

So we all got dressed up and went to TPY for our breakfast at Mcdonalds. It is rie's first time having bf at Macs...Yummy...Then headed to Dr Tan.

She was scheduled for her Hepatitis A jab today, but Dr tan didnt have the junior dose. She said we could use the adult one, but she would jab only half and throw the other. That would be more expensive at $100. Junior costs $70. I thought we would leave "empty-handed" but heng I asked about this Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, which Dr Tan mentioned the last time. And she said we can take this jab today...

So here's rie's schedule..

May : Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine - 1st Dose

June : MMR

July : Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine - 2nd Dose

Aug : Chicken pox

Sept : 5 in 1

Oct : Hepatitis A - 1st Dose

Then 6 months later, Hepatitis A - 2nd Dose...

And she would complete her vaccine....

She cried when the needle poked thru her thigh. Dr Tan had wanted to jab her arm, but I thought it would be painful and suggested her thigh instead. Wah, rie's reaction was very huge this time round as compared to when she took jabs younger...I think the older they get, they know more things and feel more pain and parents have more difficulties in coaxing them. Rie cried soooooo painfully when Dr Tan insert the medication. I was telling myself, why so long why so long? Coz the last round, Dr Tan insert needle, and out within like 3 seconds.But this time it took like 5-8 seconds long...Aiyo....

Had to bluff rie with sweets later lor..now she is smart to want to get the sweets...tsk tsk..There's now a little bump on her thigh liao...

On the way home, rie fell asleep. She cannot tahan liao..Me also showered and went to bed. We slept a good 2.5 hours...Then cooked her lunch and headed to Robinsons for the GSS.

I was hoping to get a mini grinder, but nothing suits...Hubby got his working pants and a hush puppy polo tee. He bought himself a new pair of Teva sandals too. I spotted this cute little slipper for rie...cheap too! Usual was $25 and now only $12.90 leh..what a grab.

There were a couple of other sandals, more colourful, we let rie choose and she kept grabbing the first pair I tried for her..so we bought that pair lor.

We then headed to Suntec City after our dinner. We didnt know G2000 had closed down at Centerpoint...So disappointed...HUbby was looking fwd to getting some shirts..

Suntec was SOOOO crowded and full of people. We went to carrefour and then rushed to Toys R Us to let rie play for awhile before heading home...She was already very exhausted, but ONCE she sees toys...she gets all energetic again..

As expected, she went to her barney section first, before heading to other section...i spotted a piece of shit on the floor leh..and duno who stepped on it liao..eeee...

Rie grabbed a ball and kept holding onto it, walking about..Then she spotted a toy milk bottle and tried to hold the milk bottle with the ball in her arms..tsk tsk...It was quite hard to bluff her to put back the toys. In the end, I bought 2 toy milk bottles for her to feed her barney at home. (hubby paid of couse)

Here's some pix of rie at play...reading the book I bought for her at $5 nia..cheap cheap..

Playtime...

Riesia was the happiest yesterday.

I brought her out in the afternoon, since she woke up at 1pm. Fed her lunch, then brought her to Towner road to buy my lunch and head to post office before heading to my niece Jodi's house.

We reached there around 345pm and left the place at 615pm. Wah, rie played, ran, scream, shout, laughed non stop ah while playing with them..tsk tsk..She didnt even bother to care where I was, only coming to find me when she wanted something. She climbed up the sofa, sat there, climbed up the cupboard, sat there, played catching with jadyne. I think she enjoy playing with Jadyne the most, probably coz their age gap is just a year. Jodi and Jereal are totally engrossed in their cartoon show. We switched on barney, but rie didnt even want to sit down quietly to watch..this girl...

She was suppose to have her nap time at around 5pm. But you guess lah, when kids can play, they wont even bother to sleep. Hee hee..Hubby came to fetch us and we headed home. i had to rush cooking her dinner, coz she didnt even wanted to eat much during playtime. And she was SOOOO tired, she went to the bedroom herself and laid on the bed to rest. haha...

I put her to bed at 830pm and she slept till the next day 11am. Of course, thru the night, she woke up. Twice crying, think she played too much...but I was happy to see her enjoying herself.

Happy 3rd Year Anniversary....

Today is our special day...I was half asleep, but still could know that hubby came by the room to kiss goodbye to me and rie before heading to work.

Hubby was in a good mood today. he's having seminar at the flyer in the afternoon and as going up the flyer for the first time FOC. How envy....

He said it was very nice, but then came home disappointed, saying nothing much to see. Nothing meh??? They had only 5 person per cabin, shiok right??

Anyway, after that, we clear up the house mess and waited for rie to wake up from her nap before heading to TPY for our dinner. Dinner was no 2-person's world..Hubby invited his best buddy along..we headed to Ichiban for our dinner...I ate the most..hee hee..

Rie was quite well behaved and I was surprised she was willing to let Uncle Song carry...Well, that's because we told her there is barney outside and she immediately followed him along...She came back with this little ball that Uncle Song bought for her..Tsk tsk...

Came home and i started to play around with the camera...I've gotta make full use of it lah and figure out about the shutter speed thing...

This is what we have captured...

Mummy & riesia..i love this pix...coz riesia is smiling... I first tried with flash, it was so ugly...rie was trying hard to open her eyes, coz of the flash. haha.
See, this pix of her, she purposedly close her eyes tight tight...

Another pix of her totally engrossed in her Barney show....

Complain time....

Gonna complain again...So frustrated with MIL.

Last sunday, we headed back home and with us was this neighbour aunt who is heading to the temple with MIL and hb. So in the cab, she asked MIL who is helping to look after rie and MIL just replied without even blinking her eyes that My mother is looking after rie.

This isnt the first time I hear her telling her neighbours this already. I have also told hubby many times and I dont see why and what is so embarrassing about me looking after rie? Or is she the one who is paisay to say that her DIL is not working???? I complained big time to hubby and told him to tell her that night NEVER to say that again.3

Tomorrow's our 3rd year anniversary....hubby's going to the flyer with his sup for a teambuiling course. So good right??? I wish I can go tooo..Then he's gonna bring us out for a nice dinner..cant wait to enjoy my dinner..yummy...

=============================

Vesak Day....We brought rie to Plaza Sing. We had 2 free movie passes to exchange and we exchanged for the Indiana JOnes show this Sat. And then also to collect the Barney's Live in Concert tickets.

Rie spotted this barney machine from the escalator and kept shouting "Bar! Bar" and hubby allowed her to sit forawhile. However, it didnt last long when another older child came along and wanted to sit, so hubby carried rie away and she started to cry aloud..Aiyo..so sad and heartpain to see her cry...

We had to avoid that escalator thereafter...She just cant sit still and I didnt managed to get a nice shot of her.

This is another pix of her taken in the lift after her haircut. I thought she looked like xiao wan zi..hee hee..Lazy rie in the afternoon after her lunch...

Long weekend....

I love this week, it is a super long weekend...but har, SAHM also have to OT one leh..xian right?

Hubby brought work back on Friday to do and hence, Sat morning 9am, he woke up and pia his work till 5pm okay! I was sooo shagged looking after rie, and thought he can help me babysit awhile while I rest...But no hor..And it was super hot and I was so pek chek.

So end up, rie and I hide in the master bedroom from 2pm onwards. Rie woke up at 1230 pm and I wasnt expecting her to sleep at all till 7pm, but surprise surprise, she slept at 445pm leh. That was when hubby announced he was done with his work. Too bad...we are gonna for a short nap. So while sleeping, he mopped the floor and clean up my rabbits' cage.

Then in the night, we head out to TPY for a short walk walk before calling off a day.

Sunday...
Nothing special. SIL called during noon for a post celebration for Mother's day. Hubby wasnt happy when i asked if we can attend or not, coz we havent been to his mother's place for 2 whole weeks liao...hee hee...So this time I dont have any power to override. Mum called few mins later, telling me that dad didnt allow her to go since riesia wasnt going...Sigh, I told mum we really cannot go lor...

So well, headed to MIL in the evening. Rie had a good nap from 3-5pm. I was surprised that MIL didnt cook much today. She only had fried rice. Heng ah, hubby said we can tabao back food to eat..phew. SIL asked if I know the gender of the baby, I told her happily, Dr said it might be a girl. MIL seems to understand what we are talking and asked me. So I pushed it to hubby to answer her and he answered in Hokkein that the baby is a girl. Muahahah, I didnt see her expression, but deep in my heart, I was glad she now knows. At least she wont pin so high hopes.

Did I mention, during my first pregnancy, hubby told me that MIL prayed to the temple and to her parents for a grandson? Oh come on lor...What era are we in now? Families with all girls are so common, we even met a family with 4 lovely daughters that looked so alike. They came playing with rie too. So well, my point here is not to let her pin high hopes.

I broke the news to mum on Friday too. Her reaction was..."Jia Lat." I thought xiao liao lah, dont tell me she wants a boy too..then she went on " Then Kiat's mother will ask you to give birth to a boy next year." I told mum my reasoning etc and she asked what I prefer. I told her I want a girl, a mei mei for riesia because I dont have any sisters. Then I said I would like to have 3 kids lah, she say very shiong one leh.Then later she say, if have 2 girls, then 3rd one is a boy, then the boy will be very lonely. Then have another one 4th one to be a boy then got partner. AHHAHAHAH...

I took rie for a walk and as expected, mum told dad. Dad told mum that girls or boys dont matter as long as healthy. and that I should stop even if this is a girl liao. Mum say dad feels pitiful for me to be so ke lian. ahahahah..daddy's girl lah, cant be help...Oh well..let's just keep our fingers crossed...

In another 2 days time it's our 3rd year anniversary. if I didnt see my gf's posting in her blog about her anniversary, I would have also forgotten mine! Hiak. I would have love to spend a lovely night with hubby alone, but it's gonna be hard. I think my parents will probably bring us out for makan that day....

Okay, time to head to bed for now..nights.

3 days in a row...

This morning, as usual, rie woke up again at 830am and then asked me to open the door for her to head out. I refuse, I tried giving her water. It made her lay quietly for 30mins, before she come and try to drag me out of bed again...

When I opened the bedroom door, wah, she cheong out so happily to her little corner to play her toys....Tsk tsk...Bo bian lor, I wake up and then pei her...

The moment i switched on the kitchen lights, wah piangz, a swam of ants can be seen crawling. recently, every night around 12 midnight, they will all just creap out and then hunt for food leh. I have to keep spraying baygon to kill them all and they all just keep coming!!! Buay tahan. The moment I spray the area where they are seen crawling into the tiny hole, many more hundreds come crawling out dying....I dont dare to clean up, Wait for hubby to come home clean up lor. muahaha...but something must be done lor....sigh..

then pei rie watch telly, fed her her bf, then rested till she finally let out her first yawn...we both then went to bed at 1130am for a nap...nice cooling weather...rie has been sleeping for 2.5 hrs liao....hee hee

I'm tired....

I'm feeling tired for the past 2 days. Whenever Monday comes, i dread. The feeling is like returning to work. I dread to be home alone with rie and to use up all my energy to take care of her.

Yesterday and this morning, she woke up at 730am and then pester us to open up the bedroom door for her to head out to play. I refuse! I was so dead tired, didnt sleep well and had a very sad dream last night. I pop the teat into her mouth and prayed that she would go to bed. She did, an hour later...sigh...

and then she woke up at 1230pm and then she took her so call afternoon nap at 6pm!!! I was soooo tired, I just kept changing the barney VCD whenever it ended to keep her entertained. She is quite independent and would walk around the whole house herself, finding things to occupy her curiosity. She has learnt how to pull out our master bedroom drawer and dragged our passport, pieces of papers out and showed them to me. Whenever I chased after her to get the items back, she would run all her might screaming to protest..sigh...

Talking abt my sad dream...I was soo sad in my dream, I cried and I woke up sobbing!!!! See, it was really a sad dream. I dont know why I had this dream too. I dreamt of my 2nd ex(yeah, you must be thinking I've got so many exs). Not that I really miss him, it just came naturally. He came back to look for me, not knowing that I'm already happily married and expecting. In my dream, rie wasnt in the picture. The child in my tummy was my first and I was 4 months pregnant. He was very upset, he tried to fight with my hubby(whom i dont know who he was). It ended very sadly. I remember holding onto my hubby's arm very tightly as we walked away and I started to cry out...that's when i woke up crying lor..tsk tsk..

Hubby told me Sunday night I had a nightmare and shouted "Why didnt you bring her". I think I did recall shouting something, but dont know what I shouted...Sigh...when will I have a peaceful night.

I'm starting to think twice about having a helper...If I have a helper to help me ja-ga rie, then I can rest in the room in peace. But then I dont want to have a stranger in my house...aiyah..dilemma...

Surprise for me...

Hubby came home last Friday with a surprise for me. I thought what was it, he actually got me a session of pre-natal massage at Body Contours for me at just $48. He also signed up for a session of massage at $38 for staffs only. There was a road show going on at his office last Friday and he was being massaged by this guy and he felt very relaxing...



Is a pleasant surprise for me lor, coz I've been complaining that I am having bad backaches and cannot sleep well at night. I sure hope the massage would help....

About Rie....

Some updates on rie's development...

She is now walking very fast, can even run and then when we are out shopping and we allow her to walk on her own, she refuses to hold my hand!!! So worried that she will just trip and fall and hurt herself...

Her 4th tooth is finally emerging...the bottom left tooth...She now eats a wide variety of food and I'm amazed, she can actually point to me what she wanna eat in the food bowl that I'm feeding her!!! She very smart, point to carrot ask me give her that and when I try to mix it with some porridge, she refuse to eat. She just want the carrot alone...this girl.

I'm really glad I have barney with me for riesia...She now calls her dear barney " Bar" and whenever she wakes up she goes to the telly and ask me to switch on her bar for her. And she picks up lots of songs and rhythms for the vcds...

One of her favourite is :

Pat-it-cake, pat-it-cake, baker's man;
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Roll it and pat it and mark it with a V
Put it in the oven for
barney and me..

And she can perform the actions too and with the last sentence, she will shout "bar" and then put both hands to her chest to indicate "me". Hee hee..

She likes the song "If you are happy and you know it" as well. I just love to watch her perform her action and dancing at the same time. So comical and funny....

And now, she knows I'm expecting, she knows I have a baby in my tummy and whenever we asked her "where is baby?" She would come to me and then attempt to lift up my blouse to expose my tummy. And she would keep mumbling "bay-bee". Every night hubby would talk to baby and with rie beside us. She would look at papa so seriously as if she understands what he is talking to baby. And when papa kisses baby and ask rie to kiss baby too, she would kiss my tummy. awww...so sweet right? Sometimes out of the blue when she wanna hb to talk to baby, she will go and pester hubby and keep saying "bay-bee", then coming to my side. If hubby doesnt move, she would go to him AGAIN, and repeat her action, until he gets the idea and comes to talk to baby..hee hee.

Favourite hiding place for rie is the small corner, between our sofa and the TV console. She would hide herself there, then pop out with a "char" to surprise us. ahahahahah...I love playing with her, especially at this age...we would play hide and seek at home in the afternoon sometimes or play catching....

Mum said whenever we pass by the raffles city shopping center and say " Christmas Tree..." rie would go " Where is it?" and really lor, so funny hearing her asking where is it....I think soon she will be able to speak in sentences....

gotta go for now, rie is up....

Check up...

Brought fwd my appointment to last Sat 10th of May instead of this Sat. I was having the bad cough and flu again and is a whole new cycle. I couldnt get to sleep and my chest was feeling very tight..

Heng there wasnt anyone at the clinic, so it wasnt a long wait. Rie woke up at 7am that morning and refuse to go to bed. Hence, poor hb woke up to help me bbsit her till it was time for us to head down to glens.

Dr seng was having cough too, gena from his son. hee hee...He did the scan for me, bb is much bigger in size now. He did some measurements of the head, thigh, tummy and then asked if I wanna know the gender...He said he cant confirm 100% now, but shall try...

The wait......pause.....I tried my best to see if I can spot any 3 lines or longish thingy sticking out. No luck leh, I cant see the scan clearly. Then he said, bb could be a mei mei, as there is nothing seen in between the legs yet. However, in another angle, there seem to be something sticking out, BUT it could be the umbilical cord. Hence at this stage, he say bb might just be a girl. So until my next scan on the 7th June, then he will try to see if we can confirm or not.

I was pretty happy to hear him say riesia is going to have a mei mei soon...Yeah. coz as a only daughter, I've always wanted a sister, but then I got a younger bro instead. I envied those who have sisters and can get to share clothes, makeups, go shopping together etc. of course there is sibling rivalry stories too lah...

Hubby seem indifferent. But he was looking fwd to striking more 4Ds lor...hahaha. Coz people say if the parents strike 4Ds, then is a girl. For our case, riesia brought us lots of windfall luck. I'm keeping finger crossed.

I guess the MOST disappointed is my MIL liao. I'm not sure if hb have broke the news to her yet, I think probably not. I do wish I can dismiss people's belief that pregnant woman's tummy pointed is boy and rounded is girl. these are no longer the right way to deduce anymore.

I was quite surprised that I didnt gain any weight for the past 1 month. in fact, I lost 0.3kg of weight...tsk tsk...maybe coz I'm sick and I dont have any proper meals at home for lunch, so didnt gain any weight. BTW, we ordered ting kat for the past 2 weeks. Meals have been quite good, at least can fill up my tummy....I've been drinking milk powder diligently every night as well, hoping that bb will gain some weight from there...

why speculate....

I wasnt very happy on Wednesday night...of something that hubby shared with me.

he told me that MIL told him our baby is a boy this time round. Why? Coz my tummy is pointed this time round. Come on lor...why must she be so bias? Although she thinks is a harmless statement, it means alot to me leh.

The first pregnancy, she also pray that is a boy. Then now also like that. Come on lor, most importantly is healthy baby right? So bias. I complained to my gf, she said old people are like that.

I told hubby, I'm praying hard for this to be a girl, so that she can pei riesia. I look at my nephew, headache. I look at other boys, headache. If only there is a boy so guai, I dont mind having him as my child. Boys are so active...

In fact, MIL is not the only one who wish this is a boy. even the nurses at the clinic and the post office lady also, said they hope this is a boy for me, then can close shop. Just wanna shut their mouth man.

I also reminded hb, IF ever MIL is to mention that we stop at 2, PLS do tell her that it is our business whether we wanna stop at 2 or even if we have 5 kids also like that. I dislike people telling us to do things, esp when is between couples. Sigh....

This sunday is my 2nd year Mother's day...nothing big to celebrate. Had wanted to join my family for dinner, but seems like they are reluctant to head out, saying alot of people, crowded lah, etc. I dont want to head back to MIL hse this sunday leh, mother's day leh...So I told hubby maybe we go bird park...But gotta see how as I'm still not well.

Updates...

Been a long time since I've updated my blog till one of my gf is complaining liao..hee hee..

There's lots of good news going on with many newborns around me..let's see..

28th April : Xavier Soh, son of Wee Hong & Mable
2nd May : Wei guang's son, hubby's CSM
3rd May : Diana's son, my forum gf
4th May : Enzo, Son of Jennifer, my ex colleague..

So there are more to come along, coz my ex office have lots of preggies going to deliver in May and June...
===========================================
Sat was our family day. I suggested to hubby to head down to Terminal 3, after the failed attempt last time. We ended up at budget terminal, went in and out in 15mins and off we went back to Terminal 2 for makan..hahahaha..so this time is a MUST go.

It was a happy day, coz rie loves to see aeroplanes and so we brought her to see the real life huge huge ones..too bad there wasnt much planes around at the viewing gallery and they went taking off leh..Should have head to T2 instead. The whole place very nice leh, futuristic and lots of couples with kids there too, all enjoying the aircon...think they also like us lah, no where to go jalan jalan... hee hee.

Rie loves the huge place too! She kept walking running around and watching other toodlers playing...she said bye bye to so many people on the way..aiyo...we went to the food court to makan. The place not bad, they have very nice desserts there..yummy....

They have this diaper changing room too! Got hot and cold water, a basin, a nursing room. Spacious too. Thumbs up.

I didnt snap any photos...didnt bring along camera lah..lazy....sigh...next time lah.
===================================
Rie hates milk and we are having a hard time to bluff her to take her milk. And I think I'm giving up already. The only way she can consume her milk is when I add in the honeystar biscuits with her milk and feed her directly or when I secretly add in the milk powder to the brown rice and let her eat. Sigh..headache. I havent been sleeping soundly since the day she stopped taking her milk at night. She would wake up every few hours crying and I have to hand her her water bottle to drink before she goes to bed again....

I think I'm having insomia again. I didnt sleep for the past 2 days and I managed to sleep alittle last night...sigh....so tired..

Rie is learning to speak very fast. She picks up from telly and fr0m us. Her favourite words are now :

1. Where / Where is it
2. There
3. Take
4. Bao
5. What is it

Last night, hubby cooked some campbell soup and placed it on the dining table. Rie saw and asked hubby "what is it". Both of us just kept laughing...She is learning fast...

A brand new month...

I sure hope the month of May would be a good one ahead.

Rie is now 14 months as at 1st May. She's such a big grown up little girl now. Yesterday, we left her with mum so that hb and myself can attend my gf's rom at seletar country club. When I left her, I felt this sudden lost...I wanted to just grab her back leh..aiyo..so sad. She even gave me a friend kiss...

When we arrived, I saw many other kids too. It reminded me of rie again. Hb said we should have brought her along, but I thought otherwise. The weather was so hot and if rie is with us, we would not be able to enjoy our lunch. Well, true. Hb was sweating away while eating his lunch, and I just cant wait to head to some cooler place.

We headed home after the ceremony and slept a good 3 hrs, before heading to my parents hse for dinner. When rie saw me, wah, she walked towards me and wanted me to carry her..She thought I was going to bring her out shopping and said bye to my parents...tsk tsk...

It felt so good to have her back in my arms. Mum brought her to toysr us that afternoon and came home with a barney that can sings I LOVE YOU. I cant wait to bring her to the barney show in June....she would sure to enjoy herself.

I have been thinking if I should find some half day playgroup for rie. She feels so bored coping up at home and kept going to the main door, banging on the door, looking at the door knob, indicating to me to let her out of the house. She does this during noon time and in the evening.
My guess is during noon, my dad would normally drop by to see her. Then evening is the time that hb would be home. He rings the doorbell and rie would say "papa". She gets really excited whenever we have guests at home. Hee hee.

I'm starting to run out of ideas on what to teach rie. Think I'm getting lazy. We always repeat the same flash cards, the same first words books that she knows inside out liao. I've also started to introduce some story books to her like snow white. Although she doesnt understand the story, she looks at the pictures and points objects to me like rabbit, house, apple, birds.

I would very much love to bring her to kiddy palace to play. She loves to walk about and play with the toys, but I really cannot catch up with her liao...and it is always so sad to have to bring her home and she would give this very pathetic look.

K lah, I've gotta go liao...update more soon.
