Private Pool. Anyone?

Mummy was not feeling well during the morning and thus we didn't managed to go to church on Sunday. Daddy felt that he couldn't manage Keziah on his own as it was raining. Daddy did a good job keeping Keziah away from Mummy as she rested for the morning. Daddy even brought Keziah out to get some food for mummy. Keziah also took her morning nap in her stroller.

After her lunch, Mummy suggested letting Keziah have a dip in the pool as the weather was good. Here are some pictures taken during her little dip in her private pool.

I sure enjoyed my dip in my pool. Did you?

My new playhouse.. Come play with me when you are free...

Nei Nei and Tah Tah went over to Grand Uncle place to collect some toys for Little Keziah. They were all toys played by Keziah's Uncles while they were younger. There were books and toys but Nei Nei and Tah Tah only managed to bring back the playhouse. Daddy and Mummy have been contemplating buying one for Keziah but it was way too expensive. Mummy missed a good deal on the internet to get a second hand one at $60 but it was off color as the previous owner left it outdoors.

The fixing was easy as the instructions were very clear and Mummy and Daddy got to clear the playmat for the playhouse. Too bad it was missing a roof as Grand Uncle cannot seem to remember where he kept it.

Presenting....... drum roll.....


My new playhouse....


Give Mummy or Daddy a call if you wanna drop by to play with me. I will be happy to have some company.

Guess Nei Nei and Tah Tah got to make another trip to bring back all the books and toys... Yippeee....!!!

Finally.. Pictures of some beach fun....


Finally we have pictures of the beach to show. We finally managed to bring little Keziah to ECP last Saturday. She had great fun playing with the sand and the seawater. She was all smiley and excited, messing with the sand and walking barefooted. It's her first outing to the beach and look how excited she was. Though it's near her sleeping time, she managed to keep herself up, scraping and digging at the sand with her sand toys mummy and daddy bought. The little drizzle didn't stop mummy, daddy and little Keziah from having fun at the beach. Keziah was rather upset though that we had to leave early coz the weather didn't turn for the better. But ECP we will be back!

First touch of sand... errr how does it feel like?


Running along the coastline.... don't worry... daddy is there to keep an eye on her.







Fun playing with the sand.


It is time to go.... bye bye we will certainly be back!

Passionate little Gal..

Keziah has recently been showing alot more emotions that really strikes your heart. Over the past 2 Sundays, she was so loveable when hugging her little friends goodbye. Just last Sunday, she just didn't want Dawn jie jie to leave without giving her a goodbye hug. From Monday onwards, she will run to Mommy and Daddy when we stretch out our hands for a hug or say 'hug hug' after we returned from work. Usually, she will just go on with what she does and 'ignore' our presence/expression. Now she is really responding, breaking up into a wide smile and running towards you to give you a hug. How wonderful that feels after a long day out at work!

Beach.... where are the pictures?

Finally we are all packed and ready to head for East Coast Park right after church. Mummy and daddy have thought about it for such a long time and they have finally put the plan into action. Little Keziah was exceptionally good in church and she slept for 1 hour for her morning nap when she would have usually been playing around with her pals. Mummy was thinking that she'll not nap until much later in the afternoon. We decided it's a definite to head for East Coast Park for our first beach outing. It would be Keziah's first experience at the beach too.

As daddy was curising down ECP expressway trying to find the exit to ECP, Keziah decided to play chess with Uncle Zhou instead... she just dozed off hugging a bottle of mineral water. Too bad mummy didn't have the camera with her. There went our plan. Looks like the beach adventure got to wait as little Keziah has 'more important' things to do.


Playing Choo Choo Train in Church with friends...


Carrots for lunch anyone?


Anyone Interested?


Can this thing really make bubbles?


More Bubbles please!


Daddy got a chance to take some pictures of little Keziah during the weekend. Below are his humble works.... Just look at her beautiful smile...






Ready...get set...go...



A girl with attitude. Knowing what she wants and where she wants to go.

Enrichment Class? Fresh Milk?

I know I haven't been posting for some time. As usual with Keziah sick (though still as active) and working office hours, I am feeling really really tired and been juz a real pig once I hit home. Thankfully now that she has almost recovered, just some phelgm that you hear when she coughs at times.

Yesterday, Grandma ma was not feeling well and had to seek immediate medical attention. So Mommy and Daddy took a day off to take care of the little one. It was a nice fun and easy day home and around. Beef stew with mee sua for lunch and rice for dinner. In between, Mommy managed to get a vacancy for trial class at Growing Up Gifted. Seriously, Keziah was not so interested in the story telling aside from being amazed by all the toys around and also what the teacher held up. She was constantly up from my lap and walking to the teacher to have a feel at the items. Otherwise, she would be walking around. Mommy had to constantly bring her back. Behind the teacher's back, she even took the boardmarker and toddled around. Guess what, somehow she fell. Think she was more shocked than pain. Mommy didn't managed to get a glimpse of how she fell and where she knocked herself coz another mommy was in front of her. There was introduction to words, storytelling, sing-a-long sessions, art and craft (yes, Keziah made her first little 'bag'). I wonder how much she learnt in this 1.5hours. There were 4 other kids in the class but our little one didn't really interact with them and neither did the rest with each other. It must be kids of this age or protective parents. Anyway, think I will consider other trial classes than put her into this one. Guess she might be better off with more gym and running classes. Mommy gotta think of more ideas to inspire her creativity - some finger painting sessions, art and craft at home?

As yesterday's childcare arrangement was rather last minute, there was no formula milk at home. So we tried giving her Australian Fresh Milk warmed up like the way we did with breastmilk. Keziah actually took it happily in her bottle. She finished her afternoon tea of 140 ml and bedtime milk of 240 ml. Remembered the first time we tried the Marigold fresh milk at Mac and she refused it. Not sure coz it was low fat or too cold or coz she had to drink it from a straw. Anyway, life is now easier that she takes fresh milk. NO worries running out on FM.

"Merlion"....

Well, tonight is the 2nd time Mommy witnessed Keziah throwing out her food. The last time she was down with a high fever. This time, she was actually asleep already but she was coughing so badly that she sporadically threw up her food. It seemed that her whole dinner was out! Think she had a shock herself. It was certainly a mess that Mommy had to clear up. For the night, Keziah will have to just share the bed with Daddy and Mommy since her pillow and mattress were all messed up. Prayfully her cough will get better. It seemed the cough only hit her in the nights. She's usually fine in the day, in fact, still as usual bubbly and running all over the place aside from the running nose and occasional cough. Looks like Daddy and Mommy gotta find some means to strengthen her!

Our New Creation

Well Daddy and muumy have managed to finish compiling a little nice photo frame for Keziah to mark her 1 year birthday. It has 12 photo slots to monitor the growing up progress for Little Keziah. Daddy has the honour to develop the pictures for little Keziah which amount to about 500 pictures all the way from her day of birth up till today. Daddy took one night to complie the pictures and choose those for the photo frame.

Below is the picture of the outcome.


Looking back... it brought back fond memories Keziah has brought to us. When you have a bad day at work, you can always depends on Keziah to cheer you up. Compiling this has also shown God's grace in taking care of Keziah and looking after our whole family.

Is it a Di Di or a Mei Mei?

Daddy and Mummy both took a day off taking care of Keziah and bringing her for her Pneumococcal Jab today at SBC@TMC. Today is also the day that Mumy did her Oscar Scan on the little one.

Keziah was all bubbly and happy at SBC as she loves playing with the toys there, but when it's her turn in the Doctor's room, she started crying and holding onto daddy and mummy tightly not allowing Dr. Ong to examine her. Think she had a bad experience when she was down with fever the last time. For all her previous Jabs, she'll be sitting on the table and playing with Barney. Today even the singing Barney was not enough to distract her for the Jab. Barney again came well prepared with a rain coat and an umbrella. Dr Ong got to call one of his nurse to help hold Keziah down while he administer the Jab.

Later in the morning Mummy went for her Oscar scan. Daddy got to give the scan a miss as Daddy got to tend to Keziah who is sleeping at home. Daddy only got the chance to meet Mummy when Grandmum came back to relief the job. Daddy was late and missed the scan completely. Doctor said that the baby was very active and the baby is normal. To complete the test, mummy has to draw blood for more tests to be done.

Here are some picture of little one... So is it a younger brother or a sister? Dr Chang said that we will only know in Week 20. No one knows at the moment what is the Gender. God Knows..... Thank you God for a healthy baby....



Pictures from the 1st Scan.




Pictures from the recent Oscar Scan.


Well Mummy and Daddy have already thought of possible names for the little one... For a boy, it's Caleb, Enoch or Nehemiah. :) If it's a baby girl it might be Keren, Ruth or Esther. We'll have to wait another two months to know the gender.

Do keep us in prayers.

Baby Heidi's Birthday Weekend

Saturday 23rd June 2007

Weekend is usually spent doing housework, which Keziah is actively participating. She was busy helping daddy sunning the laundry last weekend, taking the clothes from mummy at the door and passing to daddy who is sunning the laundry at the front.



Taking a well deserved water break.



Exploring her shadows.


We went to Heidi's Mei Mei First Birthday in the evening. Uncle Edwin is Daddy's Army friend and he has kindly invited the whole family to Bayshore Park for Heidi's birthday bash! Keziah was cranky at first as there were too many unfamilar faces, but once Keziah warmed up, it was a different story. The party was fun, just look at how Keziah enjoyed herself. She even allowed Uncle Ah Lian to carry her to look at Heidi's beautiful cake.



Keziah simply loves ballons. She'll always ask for a ballon whenever we visit Macdonald's. (There is where daddy brings Keziah when she wants a ballon.) Just look at her expression taking the ballons at Heidi's Birthday Party. She's happily holding to 2 ballons.





Sunday 24rd June 2007

We brought Keziah to Robinsons on Sunday after church. Lunch was enjoyable as we have not been to the soup restaurant for a while and Mummy enjoyed her lunch very much! Strangly, the second baby behaves rather differently from Keziah and mummy is having a much more difficult time. Keziah was all well behaved at the table (at least she allowed us to finish all the food that we ordered) though we had to have our hands on her cos she simply refused to sit in the high chair these days. Food, however, does keep her engaged. Daddy and Mummy allowed her a share of their food of sum sui chicken and fried mee sua after she finished her big serving of porridge. This girl can really eat!

After lunch we proceeded to Robsinson to do some shopping. Since it was the last day of the 20% storewide sale, Robinson was crowded. We managed to get all the things we wanted and poor daddy didn't managed to get anything. Both mummy and Keziah had things bought for them.

After a long nap, Keziah was allowed to roam the front wearing her favourite sandles. Look how she love running around in the front and playing hide and seek around the pillars.



You Hide?



I Seek?



Taking a short rest?



Posing for the camera.

Who does she look like?

Finally get a break from a major training that I had to conduct. So relieved and now it's really some time to get a breather.
Anyway, got inspired to match our little gal's look with that of ours when we were young.
Actually, how much resemblance is there?


More like Mommy or .....

More like Daddy?


What do you say?
