Music Fun

This little boy finds such great joy in watching his brother going away on his violin...and trying to grab it!

Pool Fun

JR just loves waterplay!

I Want!

He's at that age when whatever we eat or drink, he wants!

Happy CNY 09!

Dong Dong Dong Chiang! The New CNY is Here! As can be seen, baby is having fun soaking in the festive spirit of his very 1st CNY! He tried to reach & eat every HongBao that he got! Haha!



I tried on several of the CNY tops that I had reserved and brought home for myself, and finally decided that I looked the sleekest in the most oriental Sophia Blouse.


It was truly discreet nursing in this blouse. I didn't even use the sling the whole day!

And I nursed baby in church, and when visiting relatives in their homes. No problemo. Whew!

Only tiring bit was...baby disliked all the strange homes & people, so stuck to me like glue, excited but somewhat fussy bc he was tired from being so "kapoh". It was exhausting for me!

The 2nd day of CNY was once again a replay of the 1st. Baby was again a little koala, but at least he nursed and slept while we were out visiting. He didn't allow anyone else to carry him though. Not his father, not his siblings. Only Mommy would do. ;(

I wore the Ruby Wrap for the 2nd day.

Reunion

We succumbed to having dinner out. Had to plan it early in the evening, starting at 530pm so that we could be done and back home while it was not too late. The baby just starts fussing big-time if we are not at home after 7+pm. He just seems to have some internal clock.





I wore baby in a lovely magenta red silk sling (hey, I think it's one of those that one of you customers rejected!), and a Mandy Wrap top in Red.

Fever Again

Not sure if its bc I'd been busy rushing around these few days. Woke up with aches all over my body, even my fingers ached!!! Urgh! And I seemed to have a plugged duct as that area was painful & swollen. I was super-tired and could barely move properly while carrying the baby. ;-(

After a tiring morning, I quickly took some panadol and garlic and collapsed in bed nursing the baby, and slept the whole afternoon away.

Thankfully, the long nap did me some good. I was feeling much better by the late afternoon. Just in time for Reunion Dinner.

Race Against Time

Not a good time of the day to be doing photos - sun too bright and wouldn't reflect the true colours of fabric. But I was rushing for time.

*hehe* Can see my arm & digicam in the shadows, thanks to the strong sunlight! Loads of lovely new stuff just for CNY though!

Dream Watching

They are always such a dream to look at when sleeping, yah?

Merry Christmas!

Musical Delight

To JR, these are probably just "big toys". He sure adores watching and listening to all that goes around him - the piano, the violin, the erhu. When these are on, his attention would be fixated.

Caught a vid of him with Big Sis!

Teething

Chew, Chew, Chew...dribble, dribble, dribble... and 2 little pearlies have popped out since, with 2 more on the way! All at the grand ole age of 4.5months.

Waiting Game

As JR doesn't like to take expressed milk, he ends up accompanying everywhere. BB & I have spent much of the holidays shopping (for nothing in particular) and basically "waiting". Here's one of those times, but at least he's asleep here - much to my relief!


I thought it was so cute that he was hugging me as he slept:

I'm using a silk sling here & wearing the Selina Top.

Rough it Out

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going? Exercise works for me in dealing with sleepless nights and stressful times.

A walk energizes me like no nap can, so I'd drag my tired lazy self out. And bb would be soooooo amused. He loves looking at the traffic - look how far he turns his head just to catch a glimpse of the buses & cars! Super Kaypoh!


And I just can't resist posting these 2 pix that I collected on other walking trips. Cuteness Overload!



And the baby pouch is still my favourite for walks. Totally handsfree! Woot! JR is between 3-4mths in these photos.

Bookish Diversion

On one of those nightmarish trips, after all the song & dance didn't work anymore...I passed JR this book I had in the car.

This little boy sure likes studying the images or prints in books/clothes. The bawling was diverted for most of the rest of the trip. Whew!

Cool Evenings

We like to laze around on cool evenings after dinner. Bb enjoys the breeze and observing all that goes around. He can hold himself up better already.

4 months old here. Weight: 6.853kg (Yeah...100% Mommy's Milky)

The Liana

The Liana is my absolute favourite nursing top of the moment. ;-)

It has scrunches at the bust so that even when I wear the most convenient-to-nurse-in Cami-style bras, I won't look flat-chested. The bounded neckline is mom-friendly as my baby who likes to grab at my necklines won't manage to pull the neckline down with him and expose me (urgh!). The nursing opening is also just right for nursing in a baby pouch or sling.

And... the short-sleeved version has sleeves just at the right length for more modest coverage of my newly postpartum arms, being flattering instead. Just what a new mom like me needs to look good!

I used to wear the sleeveless version with great confidence. Maybe in a few more months then!

Unlike my younger self, I think I need a little longer for all the post-baby fat to melt away. *sigh*, but in the meantime, I couldn't resist grabbing the new colours of the short-sleeved Liana that just came in stock this week! Oh, and I could take them in the smaller S size already. So happy. ;-)

Liana Scrunch Top: Short-Sleeve & Sleeveless. New colours are in for the Short-Sleeved Liana in a Purple-Blue & a really refreshing bright pink.

Bleb

My nipple had a sharp painful spot. I noticed it was a hard and very white spot, somewhat like a huge whitehead. Really *ouch*. I'd heard about milk blebs(you can see a photo on that webpage), but never had one before.

I didn't quite want to try the awfully scary treatments I'd read about. Decided I'd monitor the situation a little and try to get baby to soften and suck away the little clog, just by nursing frequently at that spot.

The spot seemed to soften after a day. Whew! By the 3rd day, thankfully, it disappeared. It worked! Baby solved it - once again.
