Playtime!

In the evenings about 5 pm, it is usually my playtime.

The time that Mommy would not force me to nap.

She would put down everything she was doing and give me her undivided attention for the next 1 and a half hours.

We would either play with my Leapfrog touchpad, read flashcards, watch my baby videos or if Im lucky, Mommy would bring me out for a walk.

the usual route would just be around the apartment compound and occasionally stop by the playground for a brief ride on the springy see-saw.

One random early evening, Mommy sat by the baby pool and splashed the water on my feet.

It was cold of course, but i kept my cool... in case she never bring me back there again.

True enough, she brought me back to the pool the next day and this time she sat by the edge with water at her knees and let me tap my feet in the water.

Chek! chicken feet!

So Mommy thought that she should gradually let me explore this new little activity, and who knows??? i may bug her for a swim very soon!!!

it then progressed from feet to knee to thighs and finally, my whole ass was in the water.

Mommy took off my diapers but put on my shorts for modesty reasons and hold me by the armpits. She would also rub organic baby oil on my legs and bum. An attempt to keep me warm.

I waddled in the water and it was fun!!!

Mommy was very careful to take things slow so as not to frighten me as this would have repercussion effects on my confidence to learn swimming in future.

Mommy wanted to buy me a thermal swim suit but they ran out of size 1 at Kiddypalace.

However, she managed to buy a baby float.

This float has a outer and inner ring which mummy believes that it gives a better balance so that the float would not topple over which can be very dangerous.








Reads : MY BABY FLOAT!!!

the float fits me well and i like it!!!

I would say bye bye to my little friends at the pool cause i need to go back and "chong liang" already

Are you following me home?? Yes..u get to see my naked pictures again.

Mommy would then bathe me in the bathroom with a showerhead.

No more kettle boiling!!!


Im a grown up!!!

My awesome Mom would make huge bubbles to make me happy...

Im easily impressed...



She would then shampoo and shower me in warm water so that I would not catch a cold.



After that I get a quick massage of body lotion to replenish my skin moisture as Mommy felt that cholrine pool water is drying.


Then i will get my treat of the day which is 50ml of fruit juice!!!

This one is good stuff... Mommy would drink the rest when the juice hits over 48 hours after opening.





Yummy!!!

the Gerber ones are tasier and the Heniz ones are very bland.

Mommy alternate the brands and flavours but apple always never fails to make my expression squirmish!!!



Finished!!!

Mommy could whisk me off to dreamland easily for an hour of nap as I would usually be really tired :)

My little Xmas tree

Ever since Mommy moved into our home in 2006, she has always wanted a christmas tree.


Daddy and Mommy have hosted 2 Christmas parties since then with no christmas tree!!!



This christmas, its gonna be SPECIAL...



We are going to celebrate christmas as a family!



Mommy had almost no reason why she should splurge on a couple of hundred dollars and then shelf it in the storeroom for 11 months in a year.



This year, Mommy really really really wanted it.



So that lil' Gwenneth can watch the tiny lights blink for hours :)



Daddy backed Mommy's idea and thought that it would be money well spent for many lovely memories to come, making it a yearly affair that we would decorate our christmas tree together.




Mommy recollected by faint memory of a shop she passed by a couple of times that sells xmas tree and decorations.




Daddy and Mommy love the green trees over the white ones...



Green trees looked more warm and cheery... isnt it??



Mommy chose a dense tree and opt for the one without the frosted ends.




She paid about $200 odd for a 7 feet tall.




"Mommy got carrot(verb) or not???"




She then spent more money on baubles and santa claus puppets and drove home happily with her loot to surprise Daddy when he comes home from Jakarta later that night.




Mommy put me on my high chair with plenty of toy and played Little Einstein on video.





See my blue Soda ice cream??



its a chewing toy for my itchy gums.





the blue cover keeps it clean!





My rattle in pokka dot green

Smelly beanie is still the best

Wait...beanie is second best to my thumb.

Looking intelligent with my array of toys

suck thumb

All the branches poked into the stem.

not an easy job.

i think the tree is blushing..coz it looks very naked :P

Mommy cut her fingers with the rough bristles..

Its boring when Cikcik Yani and Mommy ignored my singing and only cared about the tree.

I tried whining and complained.

I acted unconcious so that someone would come and look at me.

it didnt work.











It was my smiles and chuckles that melted Mommy's heart and she came to hug me.

Passport

Little Miss Gwenneth Tan is going on a trip.




OVERSEAS.




THE "sea" is just the causeway lah.




Im making a trip to meet my Great grandpa (Mommy's Daddy's Daddy) who stays in Malaysia and is not convenient for him to travel to sunshine Singapore due to his health.




So, Daddy and Mommy are going to make a passport for me so that I can visit my Great Grandpa for the first time!!!







Mommy just found out that they no longer attach babies to their Mommies' passport and I have to own one myself.




If you are going to Disneyland, can I go with you?




I have my own passport and you need not bring my Mommy along.




First things first.




I need a chio chio photo!






Photograph Requirement

1) 35 mm wide by 45 mm high without border and taken within the last three months;

Mom~ you cannot use the bear bear hairband.





Mommy dressed me up in a lovely shirt top with some flowery prints in pink.









She then put me on my Bumbo chair (I repeat. Its not a potty.) and found the only spot at home with a white wall, which is at one secluded corner of my kitchen.





Mommy took about 200 photos in search for the perfect one, using the multi-snapshots function from her trusted 13.6 mega pixel new camera!


Here are some of the rejected ones but they are simply too cute to be deleted.

Kindly vote for your choice of my passport photo below and the results shall be taken into consideration by the 2 VIP judges whose decision is final.





Yes, its my Papa Tan and Mama Tan.
