YeYe & MaMa's Visit

Dearest Nat,

Your YeYe and MaMa were here over the weekend to visit us and of course to play with their precious grandchild, which is you. We went to many places together and did alot of things together. It's a pity that they couldn't stay longer because of work commitments for I can tell how much they love you. You were basking in all the love and attention everyone showered on you.

Ye Ye couldn't stop kissing and holding you. Being a very good girl, you gave them your prettiest and happiest smile when they were here. I'm proud of you. You know who loves you, don't you?Your Daddy commented that you have grown alot over the past 2 weeks. You have become alot more responsive and alert and get really excited when we play with you. You know who is mommy and daddy and only want to be carried by us when you're scared, sleepy or hungry.

You did something funny on Sunday that I've to write it down. Towards the end of the church service, you poo poo while Por Por was carrying you. I heard the sound of you poo-pooing. It was VERY LOUD. Anyway while Pastor Henry was blessing us, I turned to look at you and to my HORROR, I saw brown stains on your otherwise very cute clothes given by Auntie Monica. I quickly alerted your Por Por, who was at that time still closing her eyes in prayers. Ha ha! We dashed out of the church the very second we finished saying "Amen!" and washed you up in the toilet. Shit was all over you when I undressed you so we had to wash you up in the sink in the toilet. Poor little baby! I guessed the culprit must be the M-size diaper we bought for you. Your butt is too BIG for the S size diaper now, my dear! One auntie came up to me and said "Oh! So she's a baby girl, I've always thought she's a boy!" Tsk Tsk... I have to make sure I dress you up in pink more often from now on!

I brought you to your first 5 in 1 vaccination on Monday, right after your Ye Ye and Ma Ma left for HK. I wanted to sign up a package with the polyclinic initially but idecided to let you have your jab at your pd's clinic instead in the end. Read that the vaccines at the doctor's clinic are better since they are more slightly more expensive. Anyway, mommy likes Dr Tan and trusts her more than the nurses at the polyclinics. Dr. Tan promised me no tears from you when she gave you the jab and indeed you didn't cry at all. She told me to nurse you while she administered the jab, so there you were, unaware of what was happening and was nursing happily. You even flashed me a big smile when I unlatched you after the jab was over. Another benefit of breastfeeding you, my dearest.

After talking to Dr. Tan, I'll start you on your semi-solids when you are 6 months old. And starting from now, I've to give you "tummy time" for 30 mins each day so that you'll learn to roll over on your own. So baby, that's our target for this month - to get you to learn how to roll over. I can foresee you wanting to be carried after a while on your tummy but I guess I have to be strict to you on that for your own good. It's a milestone we have to hit!

Love,
Mommy
