Haha, baby's first ride on the mrt. Mummy feels so brave bringing you on this trip alone, hope you like your first mrt ride! 



Baby seemed quite fascinated by the rapidly moving sceneries and fell asleep after a few stops. Cool, should bring her for more mrt rides to teach her to sleep without assistance. 

And oh yah, baby, mummy loves your long eyelashes!

Having abit of breakdown these couple of days... feeling unwell and tired no matter how much I rest. All these shall pass too, and I must learn to appreciate and enjoy all these moments while my LO is a baby. 


She is so young and in her life currently, it's just me and my husband. If we don't help her, who will? We just need to support each other through the hard times and take more look at our baby's beautiful face to remind ourselves how blessed we are to have a daughter like baby. We need to enjoy and remember the happy times we have with baby and to put ourselves in her shoes more often. 




Baby, mummy loves you. And eh, does your toes taste delicious? Apologies for the badly photoshopped photo, your toes aren't supposed to look like this. Hahah! 




Felt better after eating at menya manushi with the husband at vivocity. Love the robustness of the soup, very appetising. The char siu is abit tough and stringy but husband's 三层肉 was much better. 


Overall a good bowl of ramen, will try the version at Tampines Mall soon.

Who is 23 weeks old today?? It's baby!! Haha:) can't believe you have been out of mummy's tummy for so  long my dear girl. Mummy seems to be starting to forget how it is like to have you inside me. Your actions were quite docile when you were inside mummy and for tt, mummy is very thankful :)


Judging from how huge I was, I must have felt very heavy and lethargic all the time. Mummy also can't move as freely as now, mummy can't sleep on my tummy, mummy can't bend swiftly to pick things up from the ground, mummy also can't sleep flatly on the bed due to my bad reflux... and many more! 


Mummy needs to sleep on my left all the time cos it's supposedly better for you and it enhances blood circulation in mummy's body. Mummy moves and walks around like penguin cos I couldn't bend my legs due to the heavy weight. Etc etc... 


Baby was so small in mummy's arms 5 months ago. Daddy could easily carry you with one arm but now you are so tall and much heavier, which is good cos you are growing! 


You are active for a longer period now, you can flip front to back and back to front a lot now... giving mummy a scare cos you will appear somewhere else from where I left you. Haha! Nowadays your favourite activity is to touch your legs with your hands. Very cute! Haha! 




Today is also an exciting day cos... baby eats her first solids!!! You look so cute opening your mouth waiting for the spoon to come to your mouth!! So cute lah!! 


Very thankful that baby could swallow well and didn't regurgitate any food! Amazing right? Babies have been trusting their tongues forward to suckle for breastmilk, now they have to bring the food from the front of the tongue to the back of their tongue.


 Something new for them to experience everyday.

Rainy day calls for staying at home! Didn't go out in the afternoon today, but it's nice to stay home thanks to baby. Anywhere is great with you around my dear baby :) 


Captured another photo of her lifting her legs up high and... touching both her legs at the same time!! You look so adorable doing that baby!! You never fail to amaze mummy and daddy with your small little milestones! 


Continue to jia you in growing up healthily and happily k! Thank you for drinking mummy's milk too! Hope it helps you to become a strong and smart kid in the future! 




Daddy fixed your high chair today and you sat in it at the dining table to simulate having a meal. You were biting the plate and spoon so readily, hope you will like your first cereal meal and enjoy eating as much as daddy and mummy do! 


Eating food is daddy and mummy's hobby. Haha! We love food!

Whee! Daddy came home early to bring baby and mama out! Went IKEA for dinner and bought baby's chair. Finally made our decision to get a IKEA baby chair, cheap and ok! Another step towards feeding baby solids!! Another milestone coming!! Excited much! 


The couscous with vegetable balls were ok... probably won't get it again cos the taste is just too "herby" for my liking. It has a great taste of Indian cuisine, but somehow something is just lacking. I'm not sure... 



Fried rice was good though. The sambal chilli is so good. If I asked for more, I believe they will charge us. It's that good! 


Also went to Tampines 1 to get baby's cereal. Going to try healthy times' brown rice cereal. Cross my heart and fingers that baby's eating journey will be good. Baby, please don't be a picky eater and eat well. Chew your food well and swallow them well. There are really so many yummy food waiting for you to try, but let's work on your swallowing first! 



Think I shall buy the mini keyboard and magnetic drawing board from Shopee so I can finally cast my mind off these craps. Feel like buying those soft cloth books too from Taobao. Money please drop from the sky!!

My situation today... one grumpy baby and one sick Husband. Please sleep well and stay healthy!

Spent the afternoon going out with this little one to buy some piano books. Hello little one, thank you for accompanying mummy and making me feel less lonely. You are mummy's and daddy's best friend! 



The past 2 days have been great thanks to the hubby. We didn't go out at all due to hubby's flu, but his presence just made staying at home so much better. With him, it gave me more time to bath, to share the task of putting baby to sleep, to give each other more time to sleep and rest. Thank you hubby. 


And each time I look at baby, it makes every sacrifices and hardship all worthwhile. I feel so blissful. Life is so tiring with a kid but the feeling of blissfulness is indisputable. Hubby and baby, I love you.
