My party will be held on 10/10/2010 (Sunday)
[the venue will be sent via sms invitation]

Dinner Buffet starts at 5pm - 8.30pm
Cake cutting ceremony @ 7pm

Invitation by sms will be sent out shortly this week.
Pls rsvp by 27 Oct as we need to confirm the headcount for buffet ordering.

In regards to my gifts, do not worry your head over it.

2) Love to hum song along with my sister singing or when there is my favorite music or song playing in the background.

My 1st Trial Baby Class

2010-05-17T03:09:00.000-07:00

Just last Saturday, Daddy brought us to attend my very 1st baby class at his ex-colleague's learning center. His ex-colleague offers us free trial class for us to try out. It is located along Thomson Road.

Here sharing below pics.

The Learning Centre which is newly opened just 3 weeks ago

Starting my class and my sister, Hayley, also get to join in the fun to guide me along. Look at below 2 snapshots of our loving sisterly poses.. I'm so glad to have such loving and giving sister who ensures I'm ok thoughout the class.

Hayley : "PSSHH.. Hebe, look in front where Teacher is teaching.."

Hebe: "where?? In front? There my Daddy taking pic of me tsk tsk "

A sneak preview of the class.. it is indeed very small class as other parents yet to arrive.

Focusing on the flashcards that Teacher is flashing to Hebe

Hebe: "I wanna do my KUNG FU stunt.."

After the class and shot catch up with Daddy's ex-colleagues, we headed to Novena with another family for dinner. A lovely day well spent and my parents totally exhausted by the time we reached home.

My Beauty Bath

2010-05-16T07:17:00.000-07:00

Below Photos are taken on a Saturday morn (abt 2 wk ago) at my Ah-Ma place.

As my sister was having chicken pox outbreak, I was to stay put at my ah-ma place and happened that morn, my Ah-Ma had medical appointment. So Mummy popped over to take care of me in the morning while my sister and Daddy enjoying their sleep.

Mummy took me to wet market for marketing and then headed back to Ah-Ma place. Time for my beauty bath.. and sharing pic of the bath-tub stand that Mummy has bought it 2nd hand from another mommy. Look!! it is so useful, no need to bend and strain her back, easy to fill / remove the water from the tub. However, looks like I can only get to use for couple of months before it gets too small for me.

After my beauty bath, I feel so refreshed and keep grinning non-stop while Mummy trying to take some shots to show my sister later.

Last week, Daddy decided to bring Mummy out to celebrate Mother Day in advance.. it happened to have my turn to be with them while Mama to take care of my sis at her place. Daddy brought us to this place, to try out some fusion Japanese Food at Suntec City in late evening.

By the time we reached there, it was already 7.30pm. Food there was nice and a quiet place for us to enjoy the dinner. After the hearty dinner, Daddy let Mummy to have some last min shopping, for her to shop to her delight as many shops are closing for the night.

My 6th Month Celebration!

2010-04-22T09:49:00.000-07:00

Horray!!
I finally turn 6 month old...
another 6 more months to go, I will turn 1 yr old.
For my parents, time seem to pass very fast for us this round..

As my 6th month, I've gained a healthy weight of 8.015kg (my mummy yet to measure my length). In fact, I'm already triple of my birth weight (2.49kg) because normally read that an average baby should weigh ideally triple of his birth weigh when he hits 1 year mark. Although now I do not consider a big baby, my parents' main concern for me is to see me growing healthy and happy.

Some updates on myself as of today ...
1) Bad cough
- I have finally recovered after my 2nd visit to KK. Thank you for your concern and regards.

2) Recognize people faces / voices
- If you are a stranger, I will use my big big eyes to stare at you without smiling. Haa. haa and that is me. However, I learn to smile more readily even to strangers.. just give me some time to warm up.

3) 'Crawling' backwards
Though I still cannot sit up by myself, I learn some new skills on my own while lying on all 'fours'. Now, I can do 360 degree turn and can even 'crawl' backwards. I will think of way to reach a toy or stuff I want but not within my reach. I will flip, roll . turn here and there to get my item eventually.

4) Holding Bottle / pacifier
I can start holding my own milk bottle (with some assistance) and can even grab / pull out my pacifier when the adults trying to pop it into my mouth, to lure me to laalalala land.

5) Likes to grab my mummy's hair
- Everytime I getting sleepy, I like to twirl my fingers grabbing my mummy hair. Sometimes, will simply like to pull her hair and giggles out loud when she cried out in "Ouch". I like it when she shake her head and hairs fall on me.. I will laugh out aloud by this action.

6) Semi Solid
Yesterday, I finally started my first taste of cereal, Healthy Times Brown Rice cereal. As Mummy is preparing the cereal, I keep smacking my lip in anticipation for the great moment!!! However, I am not that ready as after 2 taste, I keep rejecting the cereal. Oops... so unlike of my sister's time.

Guess each baby is different and behaves differently.. Hope I will grow to like my cereal and food. Now is time for me to have more iron plus food. As of today, I am 50% FM and 50% BM fed baby. Thank you Mommy for keeping up the supply for me despite her drop of supply and working.

Cake from Icing Room that my parents bought it for me to mark my 6th month celebration.

Posing - Click Click.. we celebrate at Ah Ma's place since I'm at their place.. my parents and sister went over with the cake to celebrate and fetch me home.

I'm the STAR tonight.. look at how my sister hug and carry me.
She loves me dearly..

Time flies....
I've just turned 6 months old in 3 days ago..
Mummy will update my news on weight gain on next posting.

After my last outing on kite watching that day, I fell sick and keep having nasty cough. My parents even took me to visit KK for consultation as to see a PD has to make an appointment or else we have to wait for quite a long time without one.

I have been coughing for 3 weeks and just 2 days ago, Daddy brought me to KK for another visit as I been coughing so badly that I can hardly nap or sleep during daytime and night time. During the 2nd visit, I got to do a X-ray and suction (a tube to put down my nostil to my throat), to clear my passageway, in order for me to breathe properly.

Guess lately the weather been pretty bad.. very hot and humid at the same time.
Wish me sPEEDy rECOVERy sOON!

Voila.. sharing my smiling poses took about 2 weeks ago on a SUNDAY!
That day, Mummy barely slept due to taking care of my 'night shift'.. decides to bake some strawberry cakes for my sister and daddy as their breakfast after I finish my morn milk. She made Strawberry cakes in Hello Kitty shapes.

LOOK AT ME!!!
Can only drooooolss and unable to bite into those yummy spongy & pretty cakes that Mummy has made!

My 1st Experience in Kite Watching

2010-04-09T06:53:00.000-07:00

Kite Watching??
Yeap you are right!

Just simply kite watching as I'm too young to join in the fun of Kite Flying! My sis had a fun time with Daddy flying kite on last Friday! Check out her posting on her 1st and fun experience.

On that day, it is also my ever 1st visit to my 1st Aunt's place. She has whipped up yummy food for the visitors to eat. In the evening after the kite watching, we went back her place again to celebrate my cousins' birthday.

My new infant car seat!

2010-03-03T07:32:00.000-08:00

Here another update to share...

Look!

I was seated happily in my new infant car seat (second hand)..
Mummy has sourced it from the forum.
It is still in excellent and clean condition, a price too good to be true for a second hand. And they bought it from a nice mommy & self collect on 26th Jan!

Not only this, Mummy has also bought a second hand changing table with bath tub attached, from another nice mommy about 2 month ago. We placed the table at my Ah Ma's place so that she can bath me easily without straining her knee caps as she cant squat for too long.

Enjoying my new seat and prepare for a cruising around in our car!
Seated behind together with my sis, Hayley who is always arm with my pacifier, a rattle to distract me if I cry and whine during the car ride.

* Usually my Mummy will be seated in front.. and there is once where Mummy drove us by herself for cny visiting.

My 1st Picnic!

2010-03-01T05:51:00.000-08:00

It is the weekend that Mummy returned to workforce..
We need to send the car for servicing..
and so after servicing, we decided to drop by Lower Pierce Reservoir.

that is my ever 1st picnic..
and I do enjoy looking at the blue sky, vast view of water and greenery grass.
While my sis, Hayley enjoying running, munching her bread and drink and waiting to see monkeys to arrive. Our patience really paid off as monkeys started to appear soon after to look out for food. As many started to appear, daddy urged us to pack off as sky getting dark too.

4 month.. & lil updates

2010-02-27T23:08:00.000-08:00

Horray! I turn 4 month old on the eve of our Chinese New Year!! OK, sharing many updates on me..

1) Finally sleep through the night just 1 week before Mummy returns to work (Horray! Mummy managed to train me to sleep through and although sometimes I will wake up around 4am and cries, just need someone to pat me a while and I will continue to sleep)

2) Drink 5 feeds a day! (about 200ml - 220ml per feed)
But my last feed is usually 10.30pm and Mummy is still racking her brains to decide whether to cut off my last feed, so that I can sleep earlier. Coz my sis sleeps very early the last time, usually by 8.30pm or 9pm

3) Begin flipping over on my own just about 2 weeks ago (however, I'm slower as compared to my sis who already start flipping when she is 2.5 month old)

4) Start mumbling a lot too (respond when people calls my name or smiling).

5) Always makes a din especially before my night bedtime & usually at our place (coz at my ah ma's place, I usually do not behave this way)

6) Prefer bottle feedings since most of the time I on bottle feed since my mummy back to work. Lazy to latch on... only occassionally depends on my mood but not when I'm very hungry. I rather go on milk strike than latching on direct to drink. Noti gal, am I?

7) Seldom nap during daytime and if I do, only for about 30 mins. This is making my poor parents very tired. (very unlike my sister who can nap and really nap for a long time during day)

8) Likes to be carried upright or sit upright

9) Though I've a pacifier on hand, I start to like to lick and suck my fist and thumb.. oh no!

During their absence, I will not have sufficient of Mommy's bm. So I will start to have some formula milk since I've used up Mommy's excess storage during her long hospital stay. Upon her discharge, I know she has tried her utmost best to express as much as possible to store. Mommy dear, pls do not feel bad!! I will be alright though I know you want to totally bf me just like you did for Sister Hayley.

I love you all!!! Pls stay safe and healthy during this trip!

My 1st Set of Pretty Knitwear

2009-12-23T07:44:00.000-08:00

My very 1st set of knitwear made with love from Ah Ma..
She does knit very well..
Made the 1st hairband & vest for me
next on her list is a cardi for my sis, Hayley.

Am I pretty in my new hairband and vest?

~ Love from Hebe ~

1st time zzzzz thru..

2009-12-14T01:13:00.000-08:00

The time that my parents been hoping.. hopefully has ARRIVED!
Yesterday, Ah Ma was tired and did not come over in the evening to take care of my night feeding. So Mummy is in charge of my night feeds (once) as Daddy is still having a bad cough.

After tucking my sis Hayley to bed, she attended to my last feed of the night. After settling me to bed, Mummy went to settle the rest of the house chores and managed to sleep only around 1.30am.

My Last feed : 11.00pm (140ml)
11.50pm - 12.15am : B-feeding
12.40am : finally asleep
6.40am : woke up
6.50am : morn feed 160ml

Hopefully, I will stay on this way.. coz most likely my mummy needs to attend to my night feeds once she is back to work. Because Ah Ma will be exhausted especially taking care of my needs in daytime. Otherwise, Mummy will 'faint' from exhaustion from taking care of my sis and my night feeding on top of that she needs to go work in morn. Luckily, now we have help from Ah Ma and Mama.. of course Daddy as well!

Hope this stage will pass by soon...

Our Sweet Sibling Relationship

2009-12-09T21:33:00.000-08:00

My relationship with my elder sis, Hayley is simply sweet & endearing!
Though I do not know much to express myself.. I do love my sister dearly.

I can recognise her loud chirpy voice by turning my head towards her direction. I wake up nearly the same time as hers each morning, just to see her before she left for school. Whenever I cries, my sis sometimes will come over and ask for my well-being.
She will rock me on my rocker, to calm me down.

Mummy these day, will bring me downstairs to fetch my sis home from school bus. Once she alighted, she is all smiles and cant wait to give me a big hug and pat on my cheek.

Here sharing some of our sweet poses together...

Our New Car

2009-12-06T20:46:00.000-08:00

~~ Tata Tata~~~
Presenting our new car, NISSAN Lati0 Premium

This is going to be our family car ..
It is a weekend car but it is already good enough as we can explore ulu places or farm visiting. Looking forward to more of our field trip & picnic outing (if weather permit).

We will call it our 'Pooh Car' coz soon we are going to deco the interior with lots of Poohsss decorative items that our parents have ordered but stock will be arriving next year.

* Daddy & Mummy's 1st car is Volkwagon Beetle which they had it for 2 years during their stay in France. Though this is not as 'cute' as their former Beetle, it will serve as a good family car with ample space for passengers seated in the back. This is also their 1st car they owned in Singapore.

Thank you, Daddy & Mummy!

My lil Updates!

2009-12-06T03:38:00.000-08:00

Hello!!!!
Been a long time since my last post..
Coz I've been keeping my dear Mummy real busy especially during the day time (afternoon) and that is the time I do not nap. Ever since after my 1st month, I become more demanding & crying for ppls' attention & asking them to carry me.

Poor Mummy!
She has endless of house chores to do each day... besides my increasing demands. Luckily, my jie jie goes to school during day time or else Mummy will faint from exhaustion.

Sharing an example of my Mummy's daily typical schedule :
4.30am : Wake up to express milk
6.30am : Wash herself & packing school stuff for my sis
7.20am : Wakes sis up for school & prepare her morn milk / dressing
7.45am : Prepare hot water & bath me
8.05am : Send sis to wait for school bus
8.30am : Doing my Laundry
9am :Enjoy her breakfast / marketing followed by laundry/ house cleaning
10 am : Feed or b-feeding me
12pm - 1.30pm : Lunch
PM : Busy entertaining me, preparing ingredients for dinner
4.30pm : Preparing to cook..
5pm - 5.30pm : feed me
5.40pm : fetch sis home
6pm : Dinner time for everyone
6.30 - 8pm : feeding time for me / interactive time with my sis

Most of the time, she feel her life now is even more busy than her working life .. most often she wonder how is she going to cope once she is back to workforce. Luckily, she has help from Ah Ma and Mama who often comes by to offer their help. Ah Ma will come by some evening to stay overnight, to handle my night feeding.

My feeding now is 140ml on every 3 hour interval.
Sometimes, my feeding can drag to 4 or 4-1/2 hours especially when I'm inside the sling while we are outside. Mummy has already started to bring me go gai gai like on short marketing trips, Causeway Point to repair / collect her mobile phone & the further trip she has brought me is to IMM on her own, to meet Daddy for lunch and running errand.

I dislike being on the stroller, unlike my sis. However, I enjoy being in the sling, warm and safe. I enjoy it so much that Mummy as no choice to sling me whenever she need to complete her housework OR else I will be screaming & crying to tear the whole house!

My 1st Maiden Trip Outing

2009-11-16T19:09:00.000-08:00

My ever 1st outing is on 13 Nov..

together with my Daddy, Ah Ma, Mama & Mummy to Causeway Point Mall for a short trip and lunch outing. Just like my Jie Jie, her 1st maiden trip was also to Causeway Point.

We left our place around 10.30am.. heading to Ichiban for Japanese food that Mummy has been craving for past 10 months, esp the yummy fresh raw sashimi!

After our hearty lunch, time for me to cry out for my milk.
As not sufficient time to warm my milk, Mummy brought me to the nursing room to bf me. At least I can latch on better than my Jie Jie's time. So if they run out of milk the next time on our future shopping trip, I can always have fresh milk from Mummy's.

By the time we were home, it is already 3pm.

Hebe's 1st Month Celebration

2009-11-08T19:08:00.000-08:00

8 Nov 09..
my 1st month celebration
(My parents actually brought forward my celebration as my actual day falls on 12 Nov which is a weekday)

My parents have invited our relatives, their friends and colleagues over our place yesteday to celebrate my coming of 1st month. After our calculation last night, there were about 68 adults plus 12 childrens turned up at my party.

Luckily the food we've ordered is more than sufficient for everyone and we still have many leftover food which became my parents' dinner for last night.

Over here, we would like to thank the guests for taking off their precious time to attend my celebration party. Of course, not forgetting to thank everyone for their pressies and angpow / vouchers. A Big thanks and MUACKSSS!!!!

Sharing below the photos taken yesterday during the celebration.
(Oops realised Daddy did not take too many of my photos and many of the guests esp other lil children. My parents too busy to entertain their friends, hence diffcult for Daddy being the photograher of the day!)

Hello!! I'm Princess Hebe, the hightlight of the party.
People taking turns to give me their blessings..

my 'Tu-tu'

2009-11-01T16:20:00.000-08:00

Above pose taken on my day 19..
I was captured suckling my 'tu-tu' happily. The reason why my parents introduced the pacifier to me is that hoping I will not end up sucking my thumb like my sis, Hayley. This is also to prolong my feeding interval as these 3 days, I been asking for milk every 2 hours whereby my usual feeding interval should be 3 hours.

My new cotbed that costs about $400.. it can be converted to a toddler bed when I turn older.

I'm indeed lucky coz my sis was using hand me down cot bed. Actually my parents want to use back the old cot bed for me, but Daddy lost the screws for the old one. So they got me a brand new one instead. Tsk Tsk.. Lucky me!

Welcome aboard, Princess Hebe!!

2009-10-19T03:53:00.000-07:00

13 Oct 2009..

3 cheers to arrival of Princess Hebe!

My sis was staying at Mama's place from Monday evening onwards as my parents need to reach hospital (Thomson Medical Centre) the next morn by 7am. She will be there till Friday till my beloved Mummy and I discharged on that day.

This time, our parents opted for cesarean since Mummy's gynae also advised this will be an better and safer option. Initally, the operation should start at 9.30am but it was delayed as there is a star table tennis who is delivering via c-section just before Mummy's, causing some commotion.

When I finally makes my 1st appearance, the mystery finally resolved and it is a GIRL. Just as my sis expected .. coz during last few days while shopping with Mummy, she keep choosing baby girl clothings to show Mummy, to buy for mei mei. Aren't she clever?

We are expecting she will be 2.6kg per Mummy's last check up at gynae's. However, Baby Hebe's weight is slightly lighter than mine at birth. Looks like Mummy's max capacity is meant to have petite baby afterall.

Alright, below is details for all you stats-geeks..
Baby Hebe weighed a petite 2.475 kg at birth, with a head circumference of 32cm and length of 46 cm. Slightly smaller than her Hayley jie jie at 2.49kg, 33cm and 47cm respectively.

At first sight during her 1st day of arrival, Mama & Gong Gong brought my sis to visit us.

Will post my pretty pics after my Mummy is discharged from hospital.

Pigeon Rapid Steam Sterilizer

2009-10-19T03:44:00.001-07:00

Baby H, this is our 1st gift to you!!!

We went shopping at Tangs earlier in the evening, decided to get you a sterilizer for your milk bottles/accessories. Luckily now got 20% discount, further 5% discount for SingTel, 6% rebate for Citibank user. Hence, Daddy ended up paying about $78 (retail price $125) using his further previous rebate points.

During my sis's time, Daddy and Mummy used the traditional method of boiling a pot of hot water to sterlise my milk bottles and Mummy's pump. That was indeed more hard work and longer time consumed! Hope this gift is going to prove to be useful for us.

Baby H's detail scan

2009-10-19T03:41:00.000-07:00

Hello...

more updates on me again!
Yesterday, my parents were on leave as Mummy is scheduled to have her detail scan at TMC around noon time.

Voila! Here a short video of our Baby H!

I'm developing well in Mummy's belly..
The dr who is doing the scanning, keep asking my parents if they change their mind and want to know the bb gender, can always call back to ask. Hee my Mummy really tempted to know, so she can prepare baby stuff/shopping trips. Anyway, they found this is very exciting and looks forwards to my arrival! We will always love Baby H...

Introducing lil Junior H

2009-10-19T02:10:00.000-07:00

Yeap! It is official announcement!
My sis is going to have a lil playmate by end OCT this year.. Horray!

My Mummy is now about 15 week preggy... so past by the mark of 1st trimester. However, Mummy is experiencing worse sickness this time round.

During her 1st trimester, she keep getting sick and having bad evening sickness (bad headaches, loss of appetite) which starts from 5pm onwards till the whole night.

We thought after her 1st trimester, her evening sickness will disappear. Who knows it even starts to appear on certain mornings. 2 days ago, Mummy puked once at home in the morn before leaving for work. During her long train ride, she also start feeling giddy and puked once she reach her stop. It is such a terrible feeling for her. Hope she will be truly better soon!

Pics of my lil playmate taken during Mummy's checkup

My parents have no preference for any gender.. so long the lil one is developing healthy. Mummy also hoping the lil one can endure and arrive till nearly full term. My sis of course very happy to know that she is going to be a JIE JIE, can't wait to see my arrival to play with her. She promised my parents to help to take care of me.

We've also have thought of the name for the lil Junior H.
Since my sister's name start with 'H', I shall follow hers.
if I'm a girl, I will be named Hebe
if I'm a boy, I will be named Hayden (same name as Aunty Chyun's son)

Meaning of our names :
Hayley : Meadow of hay (origin English)
Hayden : From the hays down (origin English)
Hebe : Young (greek), Daddy also inspired by this name by another pop asian singer again
