Little Chlovelle 10:36 PM

Velle has been very sleepy recently,

actually mummy too!

Maybe its the weather, its not very warm.

But her morning nap v short,

makes me really tired!

Tomorrow will be going Babiesrus with Lili and bryston!

Having them as a company is so great!

2 mums together will have endless conversation (:

Or maybe i talk too much.

Anyway for velle velle,

her smiling and non-smiling face look so different.

Staring at dunno what.

Smiling when she saw me embush her!

Dont smile really look SOOooo different.

Actually velle velle changed alot.

When she was younger,

she is so so so fussy, and seemed like the worst baby anyone could have.

She is cranky most of the time, and her ear piercing ears are simply unbearable.

Nothing seem to be able to soothe her,

and i might as well just carry her to prevent her from crying.

Annoying.

But suddenly she just changed, and is all smiley, happy and so adorable!

So mummies that are struggling,

hang in there!

There is always sunshine after the rain!

Anyway does anyone use "your baby can read?"

Does it work?

How to bathe my baby? 4:22 PM

Recently i have been thinking to quit using the pink bathtub to bathe velle.

The bathtub is good, but the water level isnt high enough,

plus its real heavy to fill it with water and move it to her bedroom,

then after her bath, i need to move it back to the toilet.

Very tiring...

So 2 days ago, with the help of babyfied,

we try to bath her in our big bathtub.

She totally freak out!

It might be the sound of the running tap,

or the size of the bathtub ( she doesnt feel secure)

I sang songs to distract her,

and manage to clean her up.

Im thinking she might not be ready for big bathtubs yet.

But yesterday,

accident happen, she have sucha enormous poop,

that it overflow from her diaper.

I think she sit on her poop, then squeeze it out from the back of the diaper.

Then the poop stick on her back (PUKE)

I had to bathe her!

Because no matter how i clean, i still smell poop!

I strip her naked, and place her in the sink.

She likes it!

HAHAHA! happily sitting in our sink and play with the water.

Finally i found the perfect place to bathe her (for now!)

Plus i can drain and keep the water as and when i like!

And so,

today i had to show her daddy how cute she is in the sink.

She is so small!

babies natural instinct, holding on to the sides so they wont fall!

She isnt afraid when i pour water over her head.

CUTE!

At the end of her bath,

velle discover that the sink is actually very slippery.

And do you know what she did?

She actually rub her butt on the sink, and slide front and back.

VERY FUNNY!

Baby have taped it down,

but i wont post it cause its all filled with our loud laughter.

Maybe next time, shall video a silent one.

Playdate with Bryston 10:22 PM

Does my walgreens deal bore you out?

But the money earn is to buy velle's milk powder.

She finishes her milk powder in a week,

and each container is 23usd.

Wow, very expensive you know!

Today i was suppose to go walk walk with Lili and bryston.

But velle's very tired, nap till 6pm.

So lili brought bryston over. (:

Bryston is 1 month older than velle,

super cute, and super strong.

Im guessing he will be walking/ running very very soon.

Extremely friendly, and very smiley with dimples too!

Awwww!

He is 10kg plus if im not wrong,

very big and SUPER huggable!

When placed velle with him tgt,

totally can see he is very boyish, while velle is super girly.

One very active and curious, one just sit there and be gentle.

CUTE!

I have been waiting for this day for the longest time!

Love it when velle have friends!

Plus do you know what they did tgt today?

They had a sceaming opera,

bryston scream, then velle scream, then bryston scream again.

Super funny!

Big versus small

Bryston crawling away, velle only can bounce with her butt.

Velle wants his red hammer

PULL!!!

She got it!

But i think bryston didnt want to snatch from her,

if he use force velle cannot win one loh!

Savour her prize,

filled with bryston saliva. LOL!

Melt*

i think they look so cute together!

After bryston left,

i place velle on her highchair and disinfect the toys.

2 babies together does produce LOTS and i mean LOTS of saliva.

Well, the toys are clean for them to savour again!

Tmr i will be heading to Lili house instead.

Heehee!

LOVES

Love it that i could bring velle to see them this year.

Velle was all smiley and gave us no nonsense that day.

She enjoys our little outing(:

I notice improvement in her,

she doesnt seem to fear stranger anymore.

Smiling to people if she is excited.

Well, she is always excited.......
