Sinagpore cutest baby goes to church!


13th Jan 2008 (Sunday)

Mummy and Daddy brought me to Pentecostal Church of Singapore. This is my first service of the year. I slept through the service and didn’t wake up even with much cajoling from all the aunties. The singing and preaching were soothing to my ears.

So, here is a taking care of baby tip: get them used to loud environment at a young age and they would not be scared of loud noises later on in life....

In church, Mummy was brimming with joy while daddy was "plotting" with one of his friends on something about how to clean coffee maker stuff, daddy as you know is very much into coffee nowadays

Later in the afternoon, we went to my mummy’s godparents’ place. I address them as “ye ye” and “nai nai” too… I poo and Ye Ye gave me a red packet...hehe, that is so encouraging, wanna me to poo more?:) That would be the way in taking care of baby, encouraging them in everything they do.

Taking care of baby -the merlion syndrome...


12th Jan 2008 (Saturday)

Oh no! I vomited! My mummy was so worried when she saw me spewing milk out of my mouth! Thereafter, Mummy never forced me to finish my milk in case I became like the “merlion” again… sorry mummy, to make you so worried… Auntie Mary came and visited me today… She brought along diapers for me and milo for Mummy… So sweet of her… You know what? She braved the rain to come and see us! I was sleeping when Auntie Mary arrived…

Take care of baby tip: Vomiting can be a symptom of a specific disorder of the stomach such as pyloric stenos is. A baby may spit up small quantities of curdled milk after a feeding, but this should not be confused with vomiting. Check the holes of the nipples if your baby shows signs of spitting. Vomiting in a very small baby can quickly lead to dehydration- seek medical advice asap.

Hehe...taking care of baby eugenia stuck nose...


10th Jan 2008 (Wednesday)

Sniff sniff! Oh no, my nose was stuck again! That prevented me from breathing smoothly… Mummy was looking at me and hearing me sniffing here and there made her worried. She decided to attempt the no no- that was to use a cotton bud to remove the nose dirt. She tried and guess what? Mummy succeeded in removing 2 pieces of it that was stucked in my nose for almost 5 days! Thereafter, Mummy played some music from the CD given by Uncle Aaron and Auntie Sue Fong. The worshipful songs from Integrity Music Just For Kids “Bless My Little Girl” brought tears to Mummy… especially when the lyrics being sang were “ Lord I dedicate Yes I consecrate My daughter to You . For Your purposes For Your perfect plans. For all the things You’ll have her do. Lord I give back to You. This child You’ve given me. For she belongs to You. She’s just a loan of love. A gift from above. And I give her back to You…” .Mummy was very touched by the lyrics as she carried me in her arms…
In the afternoon, I was very “guai” as I played by myself on the playmate, looking at the stimuli blocks hanged above me while Mummy went to wash my clothes and thereafter sun them. My eyes gazed at the red, black and white blocks and I almost grabbed one of them with my hand!

Taking Care of Baby Tip: Until about three months, play will mainly consist of observing people and objects and of making random attempts to grab hold of anything that is held in front of her. – So you can hang mobiles above the crib and changing mat.

8th Jan 2008 (Tuesday)

Daddy bought a cupboard from Ikea to store my first month gifts of blessings. I have more things than my mummy! By the way, I had my first go on a pillow…. Ummm… a bit strange at first as my head was slightly propped up… next, as I perspired a lot, the pillow was pretty damp after a while!

Taking care of baby Eugenia by "poking" her with needles!



7th Jan 2008 (Monday)

I had my 2nd dose for Hepatitis B today. Daddy and Mummy went to the children clinic “Kidslink” in Seng Kang as recommended by my Mummy’s friend. Daddy loves the place as it has a clean, spacious and cheery environment which is filled with colourful posters and lots of toys to entertain kids and most of all, he feels very comfortable. Dr Vanessa is my pediatrician. She is a very friendly person and gave very informative details to my parents. My parents enjoyed the session with her. She enlightened my parents of the different jabs and talked about how sinus can be passed down genetically. She even helped me to remove a piece of nose dirt from my blocked nose! I only let out a short wail when she gave me the injection… bearable, not as painful as I thought… “Children are sometimes an Enigma, oftentimes a source of laughter and joy but always a reason to love and to care”~ taken from the Kidslink website. My parents love these statements and they truly agree “Children are always a reason to love and to care”. Thank you Mummy and Daddy for loving Gigi!

Taking care of baby tip: 3 shots of Hep B vaccine given over the 1st 6 months can protect me ( a baby ) for life (more than 95% effective) against HBV which will reduce the risk of liver cancer and liver damage in the future. The Hep B vaccine is so effective in preventing liver cancer that it is known as the 1st anti-cancer vaccine.

And oh, if your mummy is a Hep B carrier just like my mummy, the 1st dose of Hep B vaccine taken at birth must be accompanied by Hep B immunoglobulin shot!

Singapore cutest baby -1 month old today!!:)


6th Jan 2008 (Sunday)
My 1st month baby shower! More than 200 people came! Thank you aunties and uncles for coming! Oh, also many thanks to the countless gifts of blessings! Can you guess what was my 1st month gift to everyone? Red eggs and cakes? Umm…No… Chocolates and cupcakes? Umm…try again… Give up??? It is the one and only “world” calendar to celebrate my birth! You can see pics of me and every day in the calendar is a holiday! It was carefully woven by my daddy who searched the net for all the cool holidays, my dear auntie Lena who designed the fun and cheery calendar and my mummy for snapping all the candid shots of me!

Auntie Lena has a great website that showcases all of her masterpieces! If you wanna send out love messages like what my daddy did for me, drop her a line and see if she can help you...

What is Singapore cutest baby favorite toy?


Countdown! It is 1 day away from my 1st month baby shower! Daddy and Mummy are busy preparing for tomorrow’s celebration… Oh, Daddy and Mummy played with me. I love their company… Do you know that at the age of one month, a baby’s plaything is his/her parents? Yes! I love to play with my parents!!! I smiled as Daddy showed me the ABC book! BUT Daddy flipped the page and that made me very upset. I love the page with the letter A. Daddy saw the change in my mood and quickly flipped back to the letter A page. Oh, I let out cute giggly sounds and that thrilled my parents!!! Daddy’s friends- Auntie Christine, Auntie Lily, Uncle Mervin, Auntie Joana, Jie Jie Teresa came to see me, how sweet of them! Before that, Mummy’s colleagues- Auntie Chon Min and Auntie Wai Harn visited us too!

Taking care of baby tip: A newborn baby can only see about 20-25 cm. He/She will look into your eyes, enjoys listening to your voice and always seeking for reassurance.

Mummy and Daddy, you are my favourite toy! Hee hee….

Wahaha...Singapore cutest baby growing up...:)


4th Jan 2008 (Friday)

Yippeee! I am 4 weeks old! What can I do at this stage? I can smile, I can baby talk, I can stare, I can cry, I can laugh, I can sleep, I can burp, I can drink, I can snore, I can move my eyebrows, I can lift up my head etc… Wow, that’s quite a handful of things that I can do… for the many things that I can’t, I just have to wait a while more before I can do them all…Be patient I tell myself… ( Do you know that my parents actually wanted to name me “Patience” initially? ) By the way, Mummy bathed me today! Yes, this is one thing I can’t do at the moment… oh, and I slept at Auntie Eunice’s bed… It was so comfortable and the room was full of nice fragrance (must be from the perfume they put on)…

Singapore cutest baby slept for 6 hours


2nd Jan 2008 (Wednesday)

Hey! Know what? I slept a straight 6 hours before I cried for milk! It was a real good rest for me! Good old daddy prayed for me today. He prayed that I will have a kind heart and to be a good steward of the things God has placed in my life. Oh, I am soon into my 4th week! My mummy heard from lots of people that the feeding patterns will change and they said it right! My stomach was rumbling even before 3 hours was up and I stopped my “nonsense” only when someone popped the delicious yummy milk into my mouth… hee, taking care of baby is not easy… you will have to withstand the wails and cries… don’t let them dictate you though, sometimes you can let me wait a while more before feeding me… maybe I will finish the whole bottle instead of leaving remnants, which I usually do… ooopps, to think that Daddy prayed for me in the morning to be a good steward!
