We went to visit Baby Ian as Auntie Phoebii has just given birth to Ian just a week plus ago :)

Here's my current signature pose - the "act-cute" pose as taught by Mummy.

Lunch Knock-Out!

From Karis' Mummy...
It's such a funny incident to me as I witness Karis' whole incident of munching her lunchie till she's totally knocked out! I was on leave on this day, and feeding Karis her lunchie. Managed to capture a snap shot of her after she's totally knocked out to sleep.

Here's the story of the lunch knock-out! :-

Before the total knock out, I noticed that it's not Karis' usual self as she seems to be seated without her usual active body movements, and only with her mouth chewing the food slowly. She ate whatever I put into her mouth instinctively, and slowly, which is not her usual style.

While eating, I can see that her eyes started to close slowly and open again. After a short while, Karis was blabbering and then her head went down on the feeding tray of the booster seat. Her head was rested on the tray for a few seconds and soon after, she lifted up her head again for me to feed her. Soon after I feed her, her head was down on the feeding tray again, and this time round, she's completely sound asleep! I've had a good laugh alone at home :)

Wow - Our gal must be really tired out. As usual, whenever she sees either me or my hubby around at home, she will sleep much lesser and skip one of her day-time nap.

I gave Mummy a pleasant surprise when we were at a shop near our house that sells children toys. I say "ka ka" when seeing some miniature toy cars in the shop.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Karis' usual stunt of trying to climb up the table, and Karis attempting to switch on the TV and "type" the keyboard of our laptop :)


Daddy and Mummy left me at home with Po-Po in the evening so that they can have their couple time together on Valentine's Day :)

Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone!

Third Day of Lunar New Year

On third day of lunar new year, we met up with Aunty Lizhen, Uncle Sean and Aunty Shiping at Bugis. Here's me in diaper changing station and Ya Kun Coffeestall. We head off to Daiso at Vivocity to buy household items, followed by meeting up with Annie Ah Yee and Uncle Keith.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Reminds you of a bride in her bridal car?
Any resemblance is purely coincidental!

Look at my sexy leg in this Vietnamese costume! Mummy had me worn a romper inside the costume as the material is quite coarse.
