一年了。。

时间过得真快。。
宝贝一岁了。。
一切还好像昨天，怀孕，生产，做月。。

一年，就能让宝贝从一个什么都不懂，只会吃跟睡的北比，长成现在牙牙学语，有思想，会表达的小小孩。。

难怪人们常说，要不是看着小孩长大，还不知道自己老了。。
一年，对成人来说真的没什么，对小孩却分别很大。。

感谢我的家人，尤其是我妈，在我怀孕，生产，做月，学带小孩。。。很多时候对我无微不至的照顾。。

最重要的，我亲爱的老公，谢谢你努力的赚钱，让我不用担心柴米油盐，安心的在家照顾宝贝。让我有机会看着宝贝一天一天，一点一点的长大。

小姐

某天，老公抱着宝贝女儿心疼地看着她因爬行过度*而红肿的膝盖说：“哎哟，你是小姐，怎么可以爬到这样？？？有痛痛吗？？”

我看了老公一下：“不是小姐，是女生！女生不可以那么粗鲁的 （其实妈咪我也很粗鲁，哈！）。小姐不好，不要当小姐。”

老公看了我一眼，不理我。对他宝贝说：“你是爸爸的小姐！”

我。。。@_@。。。无言。。。

老是觉得小姐=温室里的小花，受保护，经不起风吹雨打，什么都依赖别人。

所以我不希望女儿长大变小姐。

我希望她，健康，快乐，勇敢，有主见（不是固执哦！）。

*回来地方大，宝贝又好奇，所以老是到处爬不停。就算膝盖快要破皮了也不觉痛，继续爬。。。

Birthday lunch

Back to Muar on 30/10/10.

The next day (31/10/10), we had a birthday lunch with my family.

Birthday cake from Secret Recipe dedicated by her 2nd uncle.

Yeah!!!

My little girl was so excited througout the meal.....

Cake cutting...


tasting the cake for the 1st time....

Days in Penang

In the kopitiam

Sleeping soundly in the car.
Since back, my darling enjoys sleeping in the car.
Fall asleep easily by her own and she can sleep quite a long time.

go 'kai kai' lo....

playing hide-n-seek with me....

1st time at the shopping mall's indoor playground.
So excited.....

Refuse to sit properly in the trolley when we go supermarket,

instead enjoy standing in together with grocery.

Special design stroller, borrowed from Jaya Jusco, BM.

Refuse to sit on the highchair, with no solution, put her in the trolley.

So that me and hubby can have our meal.

My daring girl climbing up the stairs, from ground to 1st floor.
Have to pay attention on her all the time if we were home.

Playing her cousin's toy at grandma's house.

Riding for the 1st time, on her cousin's little car.
Would even make motor sound 'vrroooooom......' when she ride.

milestones : 9 -11 months

Finally, my darling's 4th teeth (upper right central incisor) break out on 03/08/10. Then her appetite seems to get better. Having 1/3 slice of bread plus 5oz of formula milk for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, she can finished 2/3 bowl of porridge or 1/3 bowl of cereal with 1/3 slice of bread plus 5oz of formula milk. Besides, will also have 5 oz of formula milk during dawn around 5.30am, before her afternoon nap around 3.00pm and around 8.30pm before sleep.

To food, my little girl knows what she wants and is very persistence, unable to force. Would rather starve if she dislikes what i give. Never wants the same food for 2 days and this of course make me headache, need to think what to prepare for her meal everyday. In nice word, she's very ''characteristic", but another way, she's choosy.

As i still headache what should i prepare for her, again, she refused to eat, even her favorite-bread. From having so much for a meal, reduced to only having her formula milk. And she starts getting cranky easily. I was like OMG!! teething again. Well, i reckon it's a stage every baby needs to get through...Okay, at least she's having her formula milk with cereal added.

Sometimes to get her settled for feeding or to finished her feeding, i'll have to switch on her favorite songs or MV or TV ads. Then she'll lie on me with her body or leg shaking while having her formula milk.

She's sensitive to music. If she heard song or music she likes, she'll dance ie. shake her body, no matter where or what she's doing. That's really funny.

Early of the month we have stop putting her in the walker. Because we found her trying to climb out of it. Not yet successful, but it's sort of dangerous. Beside trying to climb out of the walker, she has also climbing up to her papa's armchair, sitting and playing on it.

Without the walker, she is everywhere in the house, crawling and cruising. Her favorite activities become pushing furniture around, get under the table......etc etc...

My "teletubby"

Since my darling knows how to get down from the mattress, every morning if she's awake after her papa, she'll crawl to the door and waited her papa come in for changed and then carry her out to living room. No longer bothering me because she knows i wont attend her. Glad...i could get more sleep until her papa about going to work...;p

Understand more and more words. Have lots of facial expression and is imitating some of our acts.

Expression for “臭臭”or “猪嘴”. Or when she 'poop'.

Expression for "finished" or “没有”or “不见咯”.

Imitating what i'm doing....

Am not sure since when, she knows changing outfit means going 'kai kai'. So whenever her papa change his outfit, she'll crawl to him and want him to hold her. If he didn't do so, she'll cry and will hold his legs tight, wont let him go until he hold her up. She'll refuse if i offer to hold her. To her, papa changing outfit = going 'kai kai'. Gladly this only happen during evening. During morning, she has no problem to wave goodbye to her papa. There are a few times, her papa going out at night without bringing her along, she refused to wave goodbye and giving a sour face. Then she'll refused to settle for sleep or if she falls asleep, she'll awake about midnight and cry, wanted to go out. Until her papa hold her and comfort her for sleep. Therefore, whenever her papa wants to go out alone, i'll have to take her to the room avoid to let her seeing her papa going out. Glad that this method works, else we really dont know how to solve the problem.

Getting into 10 months, her 5th teeth (upper right lateral incisor) is out on 1/09/10 and awaiting for the 6th which usually come in pair.

Her appetite become worse. Sometime would even skip the meal (formula milk, refuse to have any other foods). I'm so worry she don't have enough for her energy and she looks tired and sleepy sometime, but she's not sick. No fever, just refuse to open her mouth and cry more. Her gum must be really uncomfortable and painful.

I keep trying to give her different foods, but she just refused. Then i found that she likes cheddar cheese and Heinz fruity jar food. She would said 'nen nen' if she wants to eat the cheese and would wave happily when i give her. Glad, at least there is something else for her. I discovered she prefer salty or sour over sweet, unlike other baby. She dislike the cream cheese specially made for baby and she would actually finished her formula milk if it's lighter. Besides, like her papa, she likes soup, all kind of soup, be it lotus root, ABC, corn, winter melon, seaweed etc etc....She could drink a lot. At least she could get some nutrition from the soup.

Unable to keep her away from kitchen, toilet or balcony if i'm there, because she's strong enough to open the sliding door. @faint@

Using her finger to pick things up to eat. But sometimes she's too lazy and might as well move her mouth directly to eat. I'll have to make sure the floor is clean always because she'll pick up just any tiny thing and put in her mouth. Refusing food but picking up rubbish??? @faint@

There are a few times, we found her standing by her own without support, usually is when she's playing and both her hands holding something. But very fast when she realised, she'll squat or sit down. Many has said since she has learned to pull up to stand very early, she'll be learning to walk early as well. But in fact, till now she hasn't learned to walk by her own. She prefer cruising or would rather crawl if there is nothing to support her. When we trying to teach her stand or walk by her own, she just refused. Actually she is cruising a lot and could stand quite steady without support, but she just dont want to. Perhaps, for safety (afraid to fall because falling too much, i think ;p). Anyway, people always said a child learned to walk late (after 1 year old) will have better life. Well, whatever it is, we'll see.

2 days before mooncake festival, my girl had a fever. As i thought it must be caused by the upper left lateral incisor, but it did not break through the gum. Then one day (23/09/10), when i was playing with her, i suddenly see both her lower lateral incisor. So, the fever is because of that. 2 days later (25/09/10), the upper left lateral incisor finally break out. So, my darling has total of 8 teeth before she turns 11 months old.

Finally after the teeth breaking out, my girl start gaining her appetite, but eating what she prefer only. Finishing 6 oz of formula, 6 times a day plus some solids. Continue loving cheese, soup and is eating bread, biscuits.

Back to Penang when my darling is 11m+1w old. Glad that she adapts to the environment fast and is friendly everyone especially to her grandparent and all the family members. Basically, she is friendly to everyone, no matter what races.


My lazy girl finally willing to hold the bottle, not the whole meal though. And most of the time, she still prefer being feed by me. Usually, she'll move my hand to hold the bottle for her.

Potential to be a talkative girl. When we are chatting, she'll also mumble like she's also chatting with us. Of course, no one understand her. Especially she likes many people sitting together and chat. When she's happy or having good mood, she'll sing "la la la la.....". But i dont know which song she's singing. ;)

Start learning to speak. Word speaking most are 'gor gor' (哥哥) and 'jie jie' (姐姐). Follow by 'po po' (婆婆), then sometimes 'papa' (爸爸). Hardly heard 'ma ma' (妈妈). *Sad.....* And her 'gong gong' (公公) sounds like 'gor gor'. She always mumble her own after waking up, or in the car or when she's boring doing nothing: 'gor gor' 'gor gor' 'jie jie' 'jie jie'........Would said 'gou' (狗) when she heard the dog bark.....

"Hello....i'm Caryl..."

Use her index finger to point thing or people when we ask. Also point to the direction where she wants to go and the thing she wants.

She seems growing a lot, from a know nothing baby become now able to understand quite a lot when we talk to her.

Start drooling again when she almost turn 1 year old. Checking her gum, seems like more teeth is coming. Then she start refusing her formula milk as well as other food. Will only eat whatever she prefer. Getting skinnier. Hopefully, she'll get better soon.

周岁：抓周

21/10/2010 宝贝农历满周岁。我们在槟城。


一大早起床，发现“亲爱的”蚊子，在这重要的日子，首先送了宝贝两个吻。还要是在脸上！！**气**

帮宝贝梳洗后，换上她婆婆买的新裙子和妈咪我买的超大新鞋。出外用过早餐回家，宝贝就开始闹，想睡。我想因为流鼻涕，她晚上一直翻覆睡不好。就先让她小睡。




一个半小时后，睡醒了。。心情也漂亮了。。赶快开始简单的抓周仪式。。


之前上网查了一下，妈咪我再根据家里有的东西，拼凑了12 样物品：






1 量身尺=服装业
2 印章=当官
3 温度计=医学
4 字典=文学
5 ATM卡=银行业
6 荧光笔=设计/画画
7 笔=文职
8 钱=商业
9 CD=表演
10 滑鼠=IT业
11 面霜= 美容业
12 叉/汤匙=饮食业

准备好了，开始吧。。。
一向爬好快的宝贝，不知为何这次慢慢地向前爬。。

大概一面爬，一面在选心目中的物品。。

宝贝：嗯，这荧光笔看起来不错。。啊，这卡片更好！！决定了，就它吧。。

于是宝贝拾起了卡片把玩。

宝贝：有了卡片，我还想要荧光笔哦。。能不能要两样？？

哇。。那里还有别的也。。再看看。。（卡还在手上）

经过一番选择，宝贝发现了钱。。

她放下握了很久的ATM卡，抓起硬币跟钞票。

最终，在把玩过大部分物品后，宝贝一手卡，一手钞票。。玩得很起劲。。

其实，何时该结束，哪个算结果，妈咪我并不是很清楚。。也并不重要。。
抓周是为了让宝贝在满周岁时有个纪念，也为了好玩。。

中午，带宝贝到婆婆家午餐，拜祖先。她婆婆还精心为她准备了红鸡蛋和面线汤。不过，宝贝只吃了一点，其余的都是妈咪我跟她老爸解决。

宝贝：这红红的小球，好好玩哟。。

这天恰巧是老公干哥的女儿阴历三岁生日。所以晚上，我们跟家翁家婆还有老公的干妈一家到餐馆用餐。一起为两个小朋友庆生。

宝贝：我一岁咯。。。

另一个寿星跟她公公婆婆，还有弟弟与父母。（老公的干父母和干哥一家）

PS: 这天拍的照片都不清楚，很可惜。。

Birthday Jinx

Tomorrow, my little girl will celebrate her 1st lunar birthday. We'll be celebrating in Penang.

I'm not sure is it true there is a Birthday Jinx to all kids.

Yesterday (2 days before birthday), my girl fell from the stairs. She climbed while i'm answering the phone. Glad that only 2 steps and she is not seriously wound, only her mouth bleed a little. Must be she bite herself accidentally when she fell.

Wake up this morning, she keep sneezing. Then follow by a running nose and she gets a little crankier than usual.

Hopefully the Jinx get away tomorrow and she'll get well.

**As i'm typing this post, my darling awake and cried. Vomited sticky phlegm. Poor girl.
